Celebrating 15 Years of San Antonio Enthusiasm
June 2025 marks a milestone for the San Antonio Tourist as it celebrates its Quinceañera, welcoming 15 years of vibrant storytelling and exploration of one of Texas's most cherished cities. Founded by Dr. Denise Barkis Richter, the blog invites both residents and visitors to venture beyond the historical Alamo and the bustling River Walk, showcasing the less-trodden paths of San Antonio.
From Passion Project to Local Resource
Dr. Richter's journey into blogging began in 2010, inspired by her love for her adopted city, San Antonio. Initially sharing her experiences during academic travels, she transformed her passion into a comprehensive guide with “San Antonio’s Passport to Fun,” released in 2023. This guide features 101 activities to explore the city's colorful culture, delicious cuisine, and rich history. The blog now boasts over 245 posts, all designed to enrich the experience of anyone looking to enjoy San Antonio to its fullest.
