El Paso Texas Travel Guide

This is an El Paso Texas travel guide from 2021. We walk around the downtown El Paso area, then head over to the border crossing with Juarez. We also go up to the El Paso lookout where you can see all of the El Paso Borderplex region into Mexico. Have you been to El Paso Texas or do you plan to visit?

    Thanks for a tour of a city where I was born, grew up and worked for 57 years; then to move away in 2009 to East Texas. The place has changed quite a lot since moving away. The only thing to remain the same is the colorful culture, the warm people who live there and the great food. The climate can’t be beat. Lots of history there; a gem of a city.

Even the BBQ and steakhouses are a let down. And the sushi here..what a joke.. el paso is seriously slacking in the food scene.. people are nice tho..

    Ah yes, my homey went to the the best parts of EP but didn’t show us the action at Dreams and other fine establishments the city is so well known for.

    I may end up moving to El Paso. Looks awesome and the weather seems perfect. Plus I'm sure there's lots of fine Hispanic women.

    Is 20-22k enough to move there from iowa as a single man?

    I would say yes. 20k saved up is more than most Americans have. 40% of Americans have no savings at all.
