Finally, the day of Kevin’s trip to Austin, Texas has arrived. His flight departs in the morning from London Gatwick and around ten hours later they touch down in Texas.

Sebastian, having arrived a few days earlier, awaits his friend at the airport. After checking in to their hotel, they hit the streets and Sebastian shows Kevin around. Kevin quickly realizes that although we think we know everything about America, in reality, we know nothing. But will the Austin experience hold up to the massive expectations built over the previous weeks in London? Or was it just much ado about nothing and Kevin will be left unimpressed?

Reminding us to think big, and dream even bigger, Kevin is shown all around the city and finds out the real truth about what Austin is really like.

“When making a life choice it’s very important to go and see something for how it is, rather than just listening to what other people tell you about it.”
