I received a free copy of, Austin Like a Local, by Nicolai Mccrary; Jessica Devenyns; Justine Harrington. from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. There is so much to see and do in Texas, so many great cities to investigate. Austin which is the capital city of Texas, looks like such a neat place to visit. Adventure awaits. This is a great travel guide for people who want to visit Austin.
