The Wienerschnitzel Diary
She doesn't speak German, and she's never lived overseas, but when offered an opportunity by her company to live and work in Vienna, Austria for six months, Marianne enthusiastically accepts. On her own for the first time in years, and far away from family and friends, she must learn to adapt to new places and cultures. Everyday is an adventure logged in her online journal, a blog called The Wienerschnitzel Diary. Follow Marianne as she falls in love with a city, its people, and history; and as she takes several unexpected side trips to places she never in her wildest dreams thought she would see.

I have never been to Austria (or China or Brazil or France or Argentina…), but now I feel like I have. This blog-cum-book-cum-travel guide reads like a good friend’s adventures around the globe, and that’s exactly what it is! Marianne Mercer is not only a skilled writer and astute observer of all things international, but she also is a wide-eyed purveyor of the fascinating history, trivia, and quirks of any place she lands. This is a great book about a lot of great people, places, and things that will make you want to roll up inside MM’s suitcase and tag along the very next time she goes wheels-up on a new adventure. Brava!!! 🇦🇹
