Not only is this cool in case I ever visit Austin, but, its also cool that you have a video of all of your favorite places so that you can remember them. I love that youre entering into such a wonderful phase with Jordy. You deserve it.

Thank you Michel, so excited to check them out before I leave Austin, I stayed in Austin for 7 years and never checked out any of them (except Zilker Park)!! This is perfect as I decided to go out more! Really great video!

Thank you so much for this! I moved here from SD and started watching your channel for local Austin recommendations. It’s funny to me because now you live where I grew up.

Loved this- great ideas! Thanks, Michel!

I don’t even know why but this video gives me such a fresh feeling lol. Must be your vibes. Lol!!

So excited when you said you’re coeliac! My husband and I are visiting Austin from Sydney later this year and he’s coeliac, so happy to have these recommendations!

As someone who visited Austin often growing up and as an adult who now lives here, I appreciate the content. I love the way it was layer out and all the cool little spots most people don’t visit due to the hype of the most popular locations. I definitely took notes and will be visiting some of these locations soon! And when family from Wisconsin comes to visit I’ll be sure to make a good impression on myself but also our beautiful city thanks to your recommendations. Sad to hear you’re leaving Austin, but I hope you have a wonderful new beginning wherever you go next. :)
