I love being a tourist in my own city. Especially with people that have never been to Austin. Extra especially when they have never even been to Texas, or America for that matter. Kelly and I totally slacked on the blog the last few months of our trip and never wrote about our time in [...]

One bittersweet aspect of travel is making awesome new friends and then having to part ways with them days or weeks later, knowing you’ll probably never see them again.
