About the host
Hosted by Shannon Taylor
Hello from Austin, TX! I am a longtime Austin resident (going on 22 years). I'm THRILLED to share my unique home with you. I'm an avid adventurer with a home base firmly in Austin. My home is truly one of a kind in Austin. So much of the city has been torn down for new growth - that's why I adore my quirky historic abode on the east side. There is so much to do in Austin. My favorite coffee shop is just around the corner. There are 14 taco restaurants within walking distance and too many restaurants to name. Something new pops up every week. Come check it out!
