What I love about Austin TX
Austin is a community that is relatively easy to get around, where you can go to work and enjoy a fantastic social community. A city where you can take pleasure in the simple things, such as, the running the trail, walking your dog, hanging out at a Live Music Festival, window shopping downtown, or enjoying cuisine from every culture.
You get a sense of belonging and purpose, a desire to strive to be the best you can be, and the positive vibe translates into accomplishment and happiness. So, when you are out in the beautiful parks of Austin--take a look around, look at the people, listen to the laughter, soak up the sun and go home rested and inspired.
