Austin is a 100% chill and entertaining place. It’s a city break with country accents, and it’s the ideal destination for a long weekend or three-night escape. Given it’s such an easy two-hour flight from LA, I can definitely see myself returning sooner than later.
There’s something so elementally expansive about a road trip. The power is truly in your hands at the wheel to decide your course. You can embrace your whims and change your mind at any given time…slow down, speed up, move on or linger longer. When you drive, you put in the hard work logging the hours and miles to get where you’re going. There’s a sense of accomplishment and wonder as you watch the landscape change and evolve. Long drives create mental space for reflection and can be quite meditative, especially when traveling hundreds of miles at a time on uncrowded highways and scenic, winding back roads.
