What brought you to Austin? I visited for a cousin’s wedding, fell in love with the vibe and rhythm of the city, and moved to Austin three months later.
Favorite thing about Austin? Austin has a crazy mixture of people and experiences. It’s kind of urban and kind of rural, but no one seems to mind how contradictory it can be. I also love how cowboy boots are perfectly acceptable anywhere.
