“I live in Austin and have 3 jobs! I've been a corporate change management consultant for about 20 years. I also help women in midlife transition create a life they actually want to live.
In my spare time, I also rent rooms on Airbnb. I love singing and kayaking!
My home is a Feminine Sanctuary for health and rejuvenation. My #1 favorite thing to do in Austin is to kayak on Lady Bird Lake or walk the hike and bike trail around it.
The reason I moved to Austin 6 years ago was that I fell in love with Barton Springs and found a job at Dell so I could go to Barton Springs as often as possible. The irony is that I haven't made it there but a handful of times. The main reason is that it's a lot colder than I thought it would be and although it feels amazing on a hot summer day, it's so crowded during those times that I tend to avoid going. Then when the crowds are less, the water seems sooo cold. But it was beautiful and unique enough that I moved to Austin in part because of it!
One thing that surprised me about Austin is that there are wild flowers everywhere nearly year round! Coming from California, I had only heard about the Texas tumbleweeds in Amarillo from my dad. I had no idea that Austin was so gorgeous or that the rain mostly comes at night and leaves behind just flowers!
Next time you’re in ATX reach out! I’d love to host and be a friendly face in the city.”
