I don't have much of a social life or plans for spring break
So I'm thinking about doing an 8 hour drive to my state capital, Austin Texas, where ive never been which is a completely different world than where I am
I've never traveled often, much less such a long trip alone. There's a possibility I'll be moving there in the fall too
Are there any general guidelines for traveling alone? How do I not feel alienated/weirded out once I'm there? How can I immerse myself in the culture?
I'll be taking my reliable 150k mile car, never taken it on such a long trip before though, I don't know what I'd do if I broke down in the middle of nowhere
I don't have a ton of money, I'd like to be as frugal as possible, I've got about a grand but I don't wanna spend it all there , maybe half at max

OP here, actually I may consider grayhound

<8 hour drive to Austin
Damn, do you live in the pan handle?

West Texas more like it

Greyhound is miserable for long trips, just drive.

OP here
After lurking around for a while I guess this is mickey mouse travel compared to most of you guys traveling halfway around the world,
In that case, has anyone been to Austin? What would you recommend doing/checking out?
>>
>>1220610
I've never been and am going in a few months but a buddy of mine said to check out all the bars and what not on sixth street
>>
>>1220610
I've been. The river/lake whatever is cool. And 6th St has tons of bars and people if you're into that sort of thing. I dunno what else to say lol it's just a city, like any other.

>>1220610
I live in Austin and am raised here. There's a ton of shit to do in Austin especially considering that the city itself isn't terribly large.
Let me know what you're into and I can give you recommendations

Stay at the firehouse hostel, best atmosphere of anywhere I've stayed in the world.
Pick up girls at whole foods (it works trust me)
>>
Guess I should also mention that I'm pretty autistic, and never been anywhere far alone

Even though I'm a native? I thought hostels were mostly for foreigners
