We’ve been traveling to Austin for several years now, and in that time we’ve seen the city change for the better. It’s now one of our favorite spots to visit (particularly to escape the frigid Philly winters).
Below, we cover some of our must-visit destination for any trip to Austin, including the best places for coffee, outdoor activities, and (of course) tacos. (more…)
Brent has traveled the world and visited over 150 hostels in 30 countries.
Along the way, he had decided to start his own hostel, like many travelers contemplate.
But when the conditions presented themselves, he jumped on the chance and is now the owner of HK Austin, an awesome mansion from 1862 turned modern-day hostel.
Today Brent joins me to chat about his journey from travel junkie, to travel junkie who also owns a hostel and some of the steps involved in the process.
We also discuss the differences in the perception of hostels between Europe and the United States, and his quirky journey to becoming an “Amazon Bestseller”.
You can check out the hostel here, but one condition; you have to let us know what your favorite Taco joint is if you go!
We’ve been on a road trip for the past couple of weeks.
And we ate SO much good food.
And visited some AWESOME cities.
And, and…
The US is an awesome place, and our trip was made even more awesome by the numerous amount of listeners (you guys!) that we got to meet up with along the way.
You suggested amazing places, you let us into your homes, and we can’t thank you enough.
It was an amazing trip, and today we’re going to share our road trip itinerary, some of our favorite stats from the trip, and our favorite, and least favorite, experiences.
Thank you all SO MUCH for all your recommendations. We had so many that we’re going to have to organize another road trip to get to all the cool places you recommended to us!
