10 Things To Do In San Antonio January 2023

Finding things to do in San Antonio is a fun little adventure for visitors and long-time residents. In my opinion, the great thing about living in San Antonio is that there are always fun, educational, and purely recreational events in San Antonio and suburban areas around San Antonio. Each month I put together a short list of some of those events and share them on my Youtube, Facebook, and website. Hopefully, that’s enough to help you get your calendar squared away with some ideas. If you enjoyed an event on the list or one you think others would enjoy, let me know in the comments.

Event #4

Do you have a passion for animals? Well so does Filipe Deandrade.
“Filmmaker Filipe DeAndrade believes animals saved his life—and he wants to return the favor. Raised in poverty, surrounded by addiction and abuse, he felt voiceless. He related to animals, because they too were voiceless, and he fell in love with photography as a way to tell their stories. Now the star of Nat Geo’sdigital series Untamed works to save the animals that saved him. In this presentation, DeAndrade will talk about finding your passion in life and living it with intent. Along the way, he’ll bring you face to face with lions, sharks, snakes, jaguars, jumping spiders, whales, and one of the rarest animals in the world—a hawk moth caterpillar that resembles a venomous snake.”
