Austin 🟰 Nostalgia

It’s where I went to college, built lifelong friendships, and even worked under Texas legend Bob Bullock at the Texas Comptroller’s Office. Austin isn’t just a city—it’s a vibe.

From the electric music 🎵 scene to mouthwatering food, a booming economy, and yes… the world-famous Congress Avenue Bridge bats (1.5 million strong every summer evening!), Austin delivers.

The highlight of this trip?

Cheering on the Texas Longhorns at the iconic Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium this past Saturday. The energy was electric, the crowd was wild, and yes, Matthew McConaughey was leading the crowd in cheers. Hook ‘em!

If Austin is calling your name, let me plan your stay at the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel Austin—a perfect lakeside escape in the heart of downtown. DM me for insider tips, exclusive rates, and VIP perks.

Trust me, Austin is always worth the visit. 🤘

Whether you’re seeking effortless luxury with a genuine touch or a getaway where you can completely unwind, Palm Heights is worth considering for your next escape.

Love when I read testimonials from my travel clients ✈︎✈︎✈︎✈︎✈︎

Successful 40th birthday group booking at the Ojai Valley Inn… here’s what one of the guests had to say after her stay …

“Ojai Valley Inn was AH-mazing! Thank you Rob for booking our killer rooms- I have stayed here several times but NEVER with rooms like this (perks of going through Mindblown Travel ☆♡)!
The balcony was HUGE + the views were spectacular.

It was awesome having free breakfast + a resort credit, too … that bought my poolside lobster + shrimp salads (so good that I had it twice)!

My sister had her big 4-0 weekend here + Rob took care of all the bookings for us… the perks were SO appreciated ✷✷ッ”
