About the host
Hosted by Teo Rachael-Homann
I'm a native Austinite and a recent graduate of UTSA. Being from Austin, I take immense satisfaction in sharing the city's best aspects with our guests.
My favorite thing about hosting is hearing about the wonderful experiences our guests have had and how they've come to appreciate this beautiful area.
We're eagerly looking forward to hosting you and making your trip to Austin truly memorable.
