Güzide Selin Altan Huber

Austria Guide and business IT specialist

Tours in Turkish, German and English

I was born in Istanbul, Turkey, in 1983. After graduating from high school, I made my way to Vienna to study Business Informatics at the Vienna University of Technology. I have been living in Vienna since October 2002, now happily married and with a child. In addition to my self-employed work as a tourist guide, I work as a test manager in software development for a large Austrian company and am a volunteer at the district museum in the 15th district.

I started my tour guide training in 2018 and completed it in October 2019. I am interested in the history of the city and enjoy the fascination on the faces of my guests – young and old – when I guide them through the city and passionately tell them my stories.

I have been spending my summer vacations on my grandfather’s sailing boat and now on my father’s boat since I was a child. That’s how I became aware of the environment/its problems and climate protection as a small child. Being able to swim in the sea as a small child in the big city, which was no longer possible as a schoolchild a few years later, made me aware of the problems back in the 1980s. So I am all the more pleased to be part of this group and to be able to make my contribution to the environment and climate protection.
