Voice of Travelers to Salzburg

Free trip to Salzburg

I had never paid attention to those people who nag you on the streets giving out brochures and handouts on the streets, until I met the most annoying person in the world, She forced me into signing up and giving out my email just so that I could be left alone. Little did I know that this was a gateway to my free trip to Salzburg. The following week I got a call and an email with a pair of air ticket. The destination was Salzburg. I had to countercheck the authenticity of the ticket with the airline just to be certain it was real. I had a ball in Salzburg, most of my time was spent in the spa where I had unlimited free massages from the best masseuses in the world. Watch out Salzburg I will get my ticket again soon.

Exchange programme to univerisity in Salzburg

I am a student at Berklee school of music and my school had a two month exchange programme to Mozarteum university of Salzburg. We got ticket discount as students. The school made it possible for us to have up to 20% discount on our air ticket. Salzburg was different from my hometown. I remember when I first arrived I thought it was the most boring and quiet place on this earth. This changed once I got to explore the different places in Salzburg and made new friends. We stayed in the school's accommodation facilities during the programme in Salzburg. No One wanted to get a return ticket home once the time came to leave. I promised my good friend Elsa I would get a ticket back to visit her in Salzburg in the coming summer.
