Great job showing the beautiful things to see in the city! Austin is one of the prettiest cities out there in my opinion and I've made numerous videos on the city myself.
Thank you very much for your video. I live in São Paulo Brazil and I will live in Austin as a visiting student at UT Texas at Austin for 6 months this year and I must confess that I am very excited and a little bit anxious at the same time. Life is made of challenges.
Austin is great for seniors who don't want to just retire on golf course somewhere. It's great to be around younger people but you won't find many of us seasoned citizens on 6th street. We most likey prefer other live music and all the other performing arts. Austin is one of the few cities if it's size to have a symphony, opera and ballet companies. The 55 and older group is one of the fastest growing demographics in the city. Austin is safe for city of its size. Austin tourism has come roaring back, hence the high hotel prices downtown. Austin will always have the feel of a younger college town with two large public universities serving the area, but it's much more than a college town these days.
Austin is growing so fast. This video shows so many changes than when I used to visit there as a young adult back in the 90's hitting the nightlife. 😎 Trust it's a fun town for that crowd.
6th street was the best in my early 20s. Couldn’t catch me over there now. It’s also very humid this summer bc of all the rain. It’s usually not that humid but very hot.
Born and raised and I'm 40. It's very much family oriented as well. You just gotta know the city well enough to know the places in order to enjoy family time. Otherwise if your not familiar with our city, you will assume it's made for young people given the fact 6th street and surrounding streets is basically bar hopping.
Downtown and UT are just a small part of the city. Nice neighborhoods, still friendly people and family oriented. A bit of something for everybody, what the city has continued since the late 90s to be so popular. Now it's really pricier to live here too with a median price home in the city now topping 650K this summer according to the Austin board of realtors.
Yeah, you won't see bats in the daytime, unless they are sick or injured. Bats are nocturnal. It's well worth it to go at back at sunset, and then wait a bit. I feel like it's full dark when I''ve seen them.. It's amazing.
2 things you didn't mention. In Barton Springs, women are legally allowed to go topless there, I've done it. It's not uncommon either. Also, it is legally allowed to walk topless for women within Austin City Limits. Just for any women who want to go topless and be free. Also, there's a clothing optional area near Lake Travis called Hippie Hollow. You can go completely nude or stay clothed! This is coming from a proud born and raised Austinite. Also, just beware now of the Homeless people, they can get very mean.
I live in northeast and I have a cousin who moved to Austin we both agree humid heat is the worst, when New Jersey hits 95 and mostly humid air I’d rather be in 110-115 degree dry climate… I’ve been to Vegas and family has been in Arizona/Nm/El paso dry heat no doubt in my mind is better then 90s with humidity.
Hallo from Denmark , just want to say thank you so much for the videos.. I’m planing a trip to the US with my kids, and your videos gives me some ideas.. I still dont know what State to viset yet though so I’ll keep wachin . Again thank you
With kids first time to U.S. go to Florida - Disney/Universal etc. It will cost a fortune but there are direct flights to Orlando from Europe. They will love it and remember it fondly. If Texas you could do Austin/San Antonio/Houston but Austin is a college town with not a lot of kids stuff to do. San Antonio has family friendly River Walk, Sea World and Six Flags Fiesta Texas (one of the best Six Flags parks). Houston has Space Center Houston and Galveston Beach. Just remember it's hot as hell in Texas in the summer combined with humidity. I'm a Houston boy and love exploring Texas but it's a hard sell for kids. Young adults yes. Especially Austin with all the bars catering to the college crowd.
@@JEdwardBanasikJr thank you :) yeah I’ve heard Texas Can be a pain in the as.. in the summer time 😂… all of the South is hard if you dont like the Sun and heat.. Well my kids are 9 and 11 and it will be their first trip to the US.. I’ve only been in Seattle to visit an Old School friend.. they want to see LA and New York… but at the same time they love Disney too.. Orlando is my idea too.. and yeah those prices man 😆
I realize that this an overview of Austin - but there is more to Austin than Downtown, SoCo and Rainey St. We have The Domain, which is a hub of shopping and nightlife and near to that the Austin Q2 stadium, home of the Austin FC. Honestly, I am surprised that you were able to omit the enormous homeless problem from your video.
Dear Brother, I was supposed to study Petroleum Engineering in the University of Texas in Austin. I like the capital city very much. Please make part 2 of the video with at least 30 minutes duration and upload it. I watch your quality videos from beginning to end without interruption and like them. Thank you very much for your nice video. With lots of love and regards, Jayantàda, 19/07/2021
I know this is a travel channel but can I make one special request? I’d like to see one good video of the top 5 cities you would live in the US if you were to leave Phoenix. It can be either a live video or one that you pre uploaded. You can feel free to post it wherever you like. (here or your AZ channel) I just wanna know your thoughts since you’ve been everywhere lol
@@user-hi8iz seattle is a rainy, homeless and crime infested shit hole. The city is currently being sued for letting CHAZ go down which will happen again 2022 as mayor durkan resigns next year. Btw, yes i used to live in seattle in the 90s when it was fun。
@@lukebandy516 i visited seattle for 2 weeks during the spring and the most rain i ever saw was a light drizzle for about 10 minutes. And seattle bring that moist makes it one of the cleanest US cities. And also its very safe there and has a great economy (unlike san diego). Its funny because my college friends and I went to seattle and san diego in the same year we we all thought seattle was the best trip that year
@@samihmina6388 dude look at a map of texas during the 2020 elections. basically every major city in texas, and basically every major city in the US voted Blue
Correction: the Austin metro area pop is around 2.4 million, not 9.8 million which is more like the population of the DFW metroplex. The San Antonio metro is around 2.6 million, the Austin and San Antonio metros which are steadily growing toward each other up and down I-35 together is around 5 million people.
Overrated city. Needs 30 more years. And Austin is not the 11th largest metro. Not even close to 9 million people buddy. That’s the size of metro Chicago. Austin is another college city like Columbus and Raleigh.
Austin is not the 11th largest metro, it's the 11th largest city by population just short of a million people about to overtake San Jose which is the 10th largest U.S city. The five county Austin area metro including city pop is 2.5 million. One if the fastest growing metros in the country. Of course all of Texas other big city metros are also on that same list.
The hell with that humidity. I’d rather stay in Orange County or San Diego. there’s beautiful beaches, marvelous weather, lots of entertainment, fewer bats, it’s less racist, and so much more good that outweighs the bad. Plus, they don’t call every soft drink a Coke. (Shaking my head)
Not even Houston being the 4th largest city in the states have 9 plus millions in the metropolitan area. You got the wrong data buddy. GREAT video though.
I've been watching your videos long time and your lady friend should of never let you put that hat on your head! Sorry you to manly! Again great video Jeff!
Since you are in Texas, shouldn't you be wearing a cowboy hat? Austin's metro is 2.3 million, the whole state is just under 30 million. Austin's climate is semi-arid and its the live music capital. Lately it has been a tech and relocation boomtown. In my opinion its getting too big. Are you going to introduce your travel friend?
What an age-ist thing to say. The last time I went to Austin, we went to that very street he is saying is for young people. I went specifically for the old buildings, but there were shops and food places. Also some great music comes out of that area. Kat Edmonson is a great example of that. Why does he think old people don't like music? I don't drink but that's a health choice, not an age choice. Lots of older people do drink. Maybe what this guy is really saying is, "Hey we don't want you old people crowding our scene." Shut up. I'm going to watch the rest of the video, because he started out right in an area I really like. Maybe he has some more places an old person might dare to go, but I'm also going to give it a thumbs down, because he's so rude to old people. He might be old himself one day.

Thank you Mary!
Thanks you so much for this remarkable video from Austin, Texas to shows these amazing places in great joy two years ago❤❤❤
Left Austin for 2 years missed it so much we moved back. What a great city.
I appreciate that you didn't merely make another tourist video but gave insight into what it's like to live there.
Great job showing the beautiful things to see in the city! Austin is one of the prettiest cities out there in my opinion and I've made numerous videos on the city myself.
Congratulations to you for heading Austin, Texas to tours many amazing places on the streets in the capital city of Austin, Texas two years ago❤❤❤
Amazing wonderful USA . Thank You Miss Wesley for your advice .I hope to meet you in Athens Greece . Congratulations Island Hopper TV .

I'm from Ireland and if I could pick anywhere in the world to live it would be here. Perfect City

Thanks for showing me the view of Austin city motion picture. I enjoyed it
. I hope that yr TH-cam shall be progressed. God bless you!🙏🙏🙏
6th street was the best in my early 20s. Couldn’t catch me over there now.
It’s also very humid this summer bc of all the rain. It’s usually not that humid but very hot.
Rainey street is good! More casual day and night and better welcoming ppl
Guessing that lady is your sister, you guys have the exact same walk. Great video like always.
I’m really digging the hat. You’re reminding me of the Berenstain Bear.
Love your Texas videos. I did such a great job. You have my appreciation.
Awesome video, thank you for sharing
I have been to that bat bridge. Every night at sunset, they all fly away. It is a tourist attraction.
Born and raised and I'm 40. It's very much family oriented as well. You just gotta know the city well enough to know the places in order to enjoy family time. Otherwise if your not familiar with our city, you will assume it's made for young people given the fact 6th street and surrounding streets is basically bar hopping.
By far the BEST video done of my city. Love your channel. Great info for my Vegas trip next month ❤

Thank you sir very beautiful video 💖📸🙏
You can tour the capital building. I liked it.
Lived there it was a nice place
Austin! The Boom Town of 21st century America.
"It's also known as America's most drunk city."
Me, from Milwaukee: yeah right.
Uh New Orleans….
Great video
Would you rather take this humid Texas heat or Phoenix heat?

humid texas is so much worse pheonix has it lucky
Beautiful

@@user-hi8iz Austin looks so great.. I have an good eye on that
Very good job. As always, however. I live in Russia and respect this channel. The best about the United States.
SO WHAT WOULD BE BETTER FOR AN OLDER DRUMMER. LIVING IN AUSTIN OR SAN ANTONIO?
san antonio. young people for austin, older people for san antonio

Interesting. JRE never mentions this, only how bad it is in California. I saw a recent vid about not having enough police and a lot of downtown crime.
Sadly, these days, "the enormous homeless problem" as you call it, is not just an Austin issue, but a nationwide problem!
Dear Brother,

I like the capital city very much.

Looks like maybe sub tropical savanna climate. I bet the mosquitos are terrible.
They are, most definitely.
I was thinking of traveling there but it looks kinda boring
Okay, I changed it to a like even though he's an age-ist. Planning my summer trip and saw some new places I'd like to check out.
Hey I like Old People. I am also No Spring Chicken here. No hate intended.
That's home 🏡😄😄😄
Another great vid, but no way the metro population is over 9 million??
It’s not
2.1 mill.
I think he meant 2.3 million and not 9.3
I love living in Austin 🤍

There are not 9 million people in metro-Austin. More like a little over 2 million.
DT Austin still more affordable than Manhattan any day!
I've been watching your videos long time and your lady friend should of never let you put that hat on your head! Sorry you to manly! Again great video Jeff!
Lol yeah I left my other hat in a hotel in Las Cruces. And in a city that bright in July my option was the bucket hat.
Let me guess: San Antonio is next.
Austin metro is only 2.2 million man.
Only 2.2 million people ? Is that true? Jeff explained the population of the city is nine hundred thousands people .
What's up Jeff lets chat
The blond girl that was walking in front of you looks hot.
