[imangelalala]

I have lived in Austin for 3 years now and Laura just introduced me to a cool new place! I can have an adventure in my own city. She is great at finding the exciting bits of everything and explaining them to get others excited. She is personable and lovely and would make a great travel intern. Thanks Laura :D

[SlexAxton]

[ayedghanem]

Querida Laura, excelente option que escogiste! jamas habia escuchado de este lugar y me parece estupendo! Me recuerda al lugar que fuimos a explorar ese dia en las afueras de Lyon, Francia. que experiencia! suerte! besos!

[maxattack82]

hey, way to show the true and unique austin - bold move! hope you get the internship!

[jennalee90210]

Tuck! This is awesome, i would expect you to find something out of the ordinary!! You would be perfect for this position, so hopefully you are selected!! Best of luck!

[popeyesofa]

awesome video tour! i would like to watch you travel the world. you are entrancing and i feel like i am traveling with you when i see your videos!

- a fan who knew you when,

julie

[annamj20]

Tuck. This is spectacular!! Leave it to you to find the local, off the beaten path treasures! My fingers are all crossed.

STA - I can think of no one better to travel for you than Laura. Traveling with her around London and England for part of last summer was fantastic! We found the nooks and crannies of the city that are generally skipped over, but show the true personality of an area. She is the most curious, creative, upbeat, positive, outgoing person I know! You won't be disappointed!

[alexu80]

look at that poise and charisma! is there anyone more perfect for this job????

[slavish1]

awesome! hope you get the job! can't think of anyone better...

[SnowFace87]

I just went there a few weeks ago, and I agree! This is one of the most unique places in the WORLD, not just Austin! Great choice Laura, and excellent hosting skills!

[longhornangel]

so awesome! ive lived in austin most my life and never been... that super inspired me to go! i am missing out!

[vgicras]

La vidéo de Laura Tucker est de loin ma préférer. Je trouve quelle explore un endroit unique dAustin, qui représente parfaitement la culture Keep Austin Weird. Au lieu de faire comme les autres participants qui présentent des restaurants, elle a choisi un endroit très spécial. Cest ce type dendroit quun touriste vieux découvrir lors dun voyage pour vraiment avoir un sensé de la culture de lendroit. Merveilleux travail de la par de Laura!

[jennyhusband]

wow!! Laura, I wouldnt want to hear from anyone else form STA travel. you are the girl, beautiful, charming, and incredibly well traveled.

[ithinkicanyes]

Tuck! Freaking perfect...... great choice. When visitors come to town this is the first place I choose to take them. Its a snap-shot of this kinds of minds that are attracted to Austin. Thanks for leading us around with your bright eyes and your curious mind. You truly live our city...... whether biking, swimming, exploring or.... eating :), I can always trust you to know what nooks and crannies to uncover...

-Tooley

[bvhoopster]

Sweet video Laura! You definitely look like you're hosting a Discovery Channel show.  If you get a hold of production-quality equipment, this type of video could easily be made into an awesome show. You definitely have a special gift for this type of thing...no doubt about it.

[kuanggggg]

Laura has a lot of potential... with her curiosity and track-record for off-the-beaten-path adventures, surely, the outcome must be good. I can't wait to follow her STA travels around the world; she will surely find the deeper treasures of Ireland, Russia, India... wherever.

[TheSoupsie]

How did I live in Austin for 4 years and never know about this place? Way to find the true secrets of the city and share them with us! Please keep documenting your sweet finds!

[miltonwong]

Great choice of a little known but vital part of what makes Austin unique and a great place to visit. This is a girl that I want to watch go around the world, that I want to hear tell me about what makes her destinations exciting, that has a real and genuine connection with the audience. None of the other contestants can approach her sincerity, accessibility, and enthusiasm.

[martimanship]

This is Marti's boyfriend, Matt, and that is some crazy stuff!!!! It was a little hard to hear you at the end of the video but in all this is a really cool video!! They need to make that place a tour destination!!

[martimanship]

LAURA!!!! This is awesome!!!! I love how crazy Austin is, and how they're so different from anywhere else! I've discovered so many places just this year that are extremely weird, but this one tops them all! I had no idea this place even existed! Now I wanna go there! :) Good job woman! And good luck!!! No one deserves to be an STA World Traveler like you do!!! Love ya tons!!! :)

[nabb27]

Wow! I never knew that place existed! I think I'm going to go out there next weekend. Thanks for sharing :)

[Squisha05]

So coool! I've been living here for a good while and only recently found out about this place! Its cool that you didn't go somewhere typical like 6th or Barton Springs. Sweet spot! p.s. nice enthusiasm. Be my tour guide, please?

[rreichle]

Very cool -- it reminds me of that Maison du Chaos that y'all went to in Lyon that I never got to go to!

[gmiller716]

excellent video! i am amazed at the amount of junk that has become this man's treasure! I think that you would be a great STA intern because you would show travelers the unique aspects of the places through which you are traveling! way to go, tuck!

[cheezer728]

I didn't know about this at all and I live in Austin - what a cool idea!

[piratefairy777]

That is awesome! I know what Im going to visit next time im down that way!

[jumo90210]

super cool video laura! i've been to a lot of the local austin attractions and never knew this was near south congress. and again you found another super cool song to go with it. also way to capture the SEGWAY while crossing the south congress bridge--austinites love their segway tours!

[cassyld]

I grew up here but never before had I seen the cathedral of junk, way to really pick something that stands out as unique in an already complex, individualistic city. You didn't do the obvious for this video, like review where to eat/drink/bike around, instead you revealed a hidden aspect. Looks like if you are the STA travel intern you would offer insight to cities that most travelers fail to ever locate.

[crzywhtboy08]

Dude, I would bask in that cathedral. Great presentation of that hidden treasure!

[utharvey]

so awesome and off the beaten path!  and free! and informative! nice job, laura. :)

[esinator87]

Great job Laura! I've been living here three years and I had no idea it existed. I hope they choose you for this opportunity; you deserve it!

[lacyrocksmysocks]

Awesome. Seriously. It is clear that you would be the best traveler for STA!!! It is in their best interest!

[ceo232]

VERY cool.... I LIVE here and I had NO idea!!! :) You SO captured the essence of Austin, and now I've GOT to go visit the cathedral of junk! Hopefully you'll be able to travel the world and capture the essence of the other places you go, too! I know you can, all you need is the opportunity! :) good luck!!! :)

[whokate707]

I live in Austin, I have to tell you; I think you nailed it. I love the Cathedral and Vince is crazy nice! In some strange way I am prouder to live in my lovely city. Good job!

[kristinmgoodwin]

Wow! I can't believe I have never been here before! Leave it to you to find the most crazy and cool stuff right here at home...and hopefully all over the world this summer :)

[spamchang]

You're a pro, and you definitely know Austin...Cathedral of Junk is pretty obscure to all but the locals, of whom you are one :) Good luck!

[swashbuckler18]

Great video Laura.... a true showing of "Keep Austin Weird." Long live the Cathedral and Vince the junk king! Good luck, Jose

[jenandkirsten]

this is amazing. you deserve this more than anyone i can think of. its just you. and this is a wonderful opportunity. GOOD LUCK!

[bohemianxchristian]

Tuck! Looking adventurous and charming, as usual. You definitely captured the spirit of the place! I can't imagine a better-suited globetrotter...or a more red-headed one.

Get out there, champ,

Kayla

[masterjodo1]

niiiiice music mix....sounds very austin in a way

[radicalnow]

JK LOL

[radicalnow]

You're pretty

boring.

Love, Steiner.

[gotmail211]

Of all the places that the final 10 applicants chose to showcase in their videos, this is by far the coolest one. Well done and good luck!
