Ella Hedekin grew up in San Diego. She moved to Texas to go to school at Baylor and then stayed in Waco for a couple years.<\/p>\n
Over the summer, she moved to Austin to take a job teaching third grade. She got a little place with a roommate in Hyde Park.<\/p>\n
So far, living in Austin has been great, but she\u2019s got a problem: There’s too much to do here!<\/p>\n
\u201cI have felt kind of like positively overwhelmed with how many things there are to do,” she said. “There’s so many fun places to go that I kind of get analysis paralysis, and I don’t know where to start.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not the worst problem to have, but when you\u2019re new to a place like Austin, it really can be hard to figure out what to do. What to see. Where to go. And where NOT to go.<\/p>\n
Of course, she’s been to some of the obvious places like Barton Springs and a bunch of restaurants. But she wants some guidance from people who\u2019ve been here more than a minute.<\/p>\n
So she came to ATXplained with a question: As a newbie in Austin, where do you start?<\/p>\n
So \u2014 we\u2019re turning to you, dear reader.<\/p>\n
