    Austin sounds like a neat city, it’s on my travel list for someday hopefully. I love walking trails so part of that trail would be on my list, or like different sections in different days would be cool.

    Should've had this video back in June! Start and finished our honeymoon Deep South roadtrip in Austin and loved it! We did go to Cidercade (I think you mentioned it in another video). We loved Torchy's and Franklin's and had a great stay at Motel Austin on our final night. We're already looking forward to coming back someday!

    Eek! This video had perfect timing! As inspired by your videos, I am sneaking in a trip to Austin later this year! Just wanted to say that I am grateful for your video's each week and for whenever you need some travel inspo of cute towns/cities, I think you would LOVE St. John's, NFLD or Lunenburg, NS here in Canada (both foodie spots, gorgeous views, and SO many boats!)

    This is so interesting. I've lived in Austin for a year now and have never been to a single place on your coffee, food, and treats list. I tend to make my own coffee, avoid sweets, and dislike mexican/temex. Maybe I'll try some and see if these recommendations sway me.

    Hi Michel, it will be our first time in austin for my husband and I (who live in London with our little one age 12) and our 3 children ( my eldest daughter studies in Ny and my son in Boston) .funny enough I was hesitating between the exact 3 hotels you recommended and my favourite in term of design was the proper. we are hoping for some sun and to be able to sit and enjoy the pool in mid april( especially coming from London) we will only be staying for 4 nights.should we go for the proper or the other 2 are more central for shopping or it is fine we could always take an uber? what do you recommend? your recommendations are great by the way and I so enjoyed your video ! thxs sevyne

    What! I live here and didn’t know some of these places! The boats are so cool. 12 miles per hour - sounds perfect. Do you have to ‘know’ boats??? Do you have to have driven boats before??? I’d love to do this! I loved this video! Sooo many times watching your videos I try to grab a screen shot or write down your recommendations- so nice to have in one spot (here)! Thank you!

      All of your comments are very critical towards Michel (&Jordy) while they seem very happy&excited with their decisions. If this content triggers you, maybe go ahead and figure out what it is that bothers you and find the origin in your life. Cause this is all that your comments are about: you and your own triggers, bad experiences and beliefs.
