“Texas is a state of mind. Texas is an obsession. Above all, Texas is a nation in every sense of the word.”
– John Steinbeck

HELLO

I’m Ketki, the founder of Enchanting Texas Travel Blog, and I’m here to help you plan the most amazing trip to the Lone Star State.

I am living in Texas since 2014 with my husband and two kids. We have spent an extensive amount of time personally exploring several Texas tourist attractions.

We have been to the Rio Grande Valley, hiked in Big Bend, love birding along the Gulf Coast, have visited most Texas beaches, and frequently road trip the Hill Country.

Our family has explored the Texas Panhandle and our kids have seen the dinosaur footprints in Glen Rose.

I am an expert at planning a variety of Texas trips from summer city breaks to romantic holidays for couples.

Let Enchanting Texas be your Texas Travel guide and show you how to see the best attractions and sights of Texas. Create epic memories in the Lone Star State and plan to come back again and again.
