The year was 2016. Sam Chen's final days as a bachelor were nearing an end. So why not celebrate them is style in Austin, TX? With this photo comes two tales.
The first is that I had not flown on a plane since I was 2 years old. So this was going to be a relatively new experience for me. Let's just say the way down didn't go so well as the connecting flight (40 min away from Austin) was nearly cancelled and I had to chill in the airport for 4 hours not knowing if I was getting to Austin that night. Thankfully I did. Also I was finishing up my last year of college and finals were less than 2 weeks away, so I did what many students in my position would not...which was not use that weekend to study and fly to another state.
The second story is that out of all the people you see in this photo, I only knew three of them. The rest were strangers. But by the end of this adventure I could call them friends. We explored Austin, ate some delicious food from the food truck court, ran into an old friend, and as raced some high speed go-karts. And this was also the first real moment where I knew I was destined to travel. Austin was short and sweet, but the memories are forever.
