#22 Polina Sattler: Floating Through Vienna – Parks, Prominence, and Potato Salad

Show notes

Meet Polina Sattler, an adventurous event manager from Ukraine, who came to Vienna in 2016. Married with two children, Polina initially couldn't imagine living in Vienna and made a brief stop in Switzerland before settling down in the Austrian capital. In this episode, Polina shares her journey of adapting to life in Vienna, highlighting special encounters and a cultural clash involving “Kartoffelsalat.” Polina loves summer, exploring Vienna's parks and markets, and the surrounding vineyards. Hear about the time she found herself in line for a glass of wine and ended up meeting a very notable Austrian figure. And as life often goes, you run into people more than once. Want to know who she spotted (again!) – walking a dog at Heldenplatz? Tune in to find out! Polina also beautifully describes Viennese German as swimming in the sea – a melodious up and down, just float with it like she does. Don't miss this delightful episode full of personal stories and charming insights into life in Vienna!
