Texas itself is located in the central-south of the USA, on the border with Mexico. It is the second largest state in the USA besides Alaska, so it’s pretty hard to miss!
Lubbock isn’t quite in the square corner in the left of Texas, but it’s almost there. It is considered to be northwesterly in the state, and is approximately 90 miles west of the New Mexico border.
The famous musician Buddy Holly also hailed from Lubbock, Texas. He was born there in 1936, and had a short but highly successful career before sadly passing away in a plane crash.
There are extensive vineyards in and around Lubbock which are the perfect place to visit on a date, to hold a wedding, or if you just generally love wine!
Lubbock is a fantastic place to live if you have a family, or if you’re looking for an academic job at Texas Tech. It’s also great if you’re looking to move closer to a city without having to pay big city prices for rent and property.
