Craving adventure? Wanting to discover a new-to-you spot in the Lone Star State? Dreaming of days (and nights) spent discovering new spots you’ve never visited before? You’ve got wanderlust! That desire to hit the road and enjoy the journey just means you need to use your PTO and travel! The only question is… Where will you wind up?

Picking a destination for vacation is (at least!) half the battle for most travelers. It can be tricky to find something that is affordable and not too crowded, that can accommodate travel groups of all ages and sizes and provide enough to do that no one says “I’m bored!” five minutes in. Whether you want to revisit a favorite destination but maybe discover new gems or hit up a place you’ve never visited before, it can be a challenge to figure out which destination is going to be the right fit for you. And, because Texas is so big, it can be hard to know where to even start looking! If you’re ready to be inspired to travel the Lone Star State, discovering new spaces and maybe uncovering some soon-to-be-favorite spots, check out these Texas travel influencers, who are sure to have you packing your bags in no time.
