Doro Travels: Top 5 Things To Do in Austin, Texas

I have loved Austin ever since I binge watched Season 6 of Queer Eye. I loved the culture, the fashion, and the energy. Being a budding tech hub doesn’t hurt its case either ;)

I took a 12 day vacation to Texas in July/ August of 2022 and visited Austin, San Antonio, and Houston - I feel like 4 days per city was a good amount of time as it left me wanting more!

Austin is truly the perfect city for a young professional with an abundance of restaurants, nightlife, activities (indoors and outdoors), and entertainment. You can get by on foot and with car share if you’re taking a vacation here, which is fantastic.

Vancouver: Top 5 Boutique Fitness Studios

Movement has been a part of my life since I was 5, but we had a complicated relationship growing up together. 

I danced for 8 years when I was younger: ballet, jazz, musical theater, and modern. However, I stopped dancing in 2008 because I prioritized my high school studies and didn’t feel like I belonged in that environment as my physical appearance/ build changed once puberty hit. It took me a while - 4 years, actually - to feel comfortable in a studio again.

I took my first group fitness class in 2018 and was completely hooked. I loved the energy and community that came with a group ride in a dark room, the collective burn on the Megaformer, and the collective exhale in a yoga class.

My favourite boutique fitness studios in Vancouver are Jaybird, Lagree West, Spin Society, The Bar Method, and Core Community: read on to find out why!
