About the author

Explorer Extraordinaire Annette Lucksinger galavants around Austin in search of adventure! She decided it would be nice if she wrote about it so others could find all of Austin’s best spots too (especially the secret ones). Along with her two kids and husband, she explored, took notes, wrote, and photographed spectacular places to create Austin's only family guidebook - Exploring Austin with Kids - for visitors and locals alike. She spends her spare time teaching writing and literature classes at St. Edward's University (where she encourages bigger kids to get out and explore their city and write about it). You can find out more about her adventures and the book here.
