Avoid the sweltering hot summer months, and know that prices will be inflated a couple of weeks in the fall for Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL), and a couple of weeks in the spring for South by Southwest (SXSW).
If there is one thing we know about Texas, its that people love their outdoor activities, including hunting, fishing, camping, and of course, owning a pick-up truck. Everything is bigger in Texas! One of Texas’ most famous solo travel destinations is the dog-friendly city of Austin, a foodie city with great Tex-Mex and barbecue, as well as a focus on outdoor activities like kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding on Lady Bird Lake and Lake Travis. Get outside of Austin into the Hill Country for more barbecue and starry nights. Avoid the sweltering hot summer months, and know that prices will be inflated a couple of weeks in the fall for Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL), and a couple of weeks in the spring for South by Southwest (SXSW). I look back fondly at my time living in Austin and especially miss all the great food trucks and healthy food options--Juiceland and The Soup Peddler being my favorites.
