A Little About Me

Hi, I'm Alex! A passionate explorer and storyteller based in Vienna. I started Braski Blog to share my love for discovering hidden gems, cooking with local ingredients, and finding beauty in the everyday. Whether it's the quiet charm of an alpine village or the vibrant energy of Vienna's culinary scene, I find joy in sharing these experiences.

My goal is to inspire you to create your own adventures, whether they're across the world or in your own kitchen. Let's explore together and find inspiration in the big and small moments of life.
