Amacebiso ngesixeko
Ukuhamba-hamba
What’s the best way to get around?
Mostly driving: I suggest uber or lyft. The house is in a great location though, a 15-20 Minute walk from a number of very popular areas. However in the summer it can get very hot and taking a Uber is more advisable.
Amasiko nenkcubeko
What are people like?
Texans are friendly! They want to know where you come from and why you’re here and to start a conversation with you!
Izinto omele uzipakishe
What should I pack
Check the weather before you leave to pack appropriate clothes but also know it’s not very accurate. Texas weather is very changeable. You might want to bring a range of clothes
