What I love about San Francisco: I love San Francisco not only for the exciting excursions available within the city, such as the California Academy of Sciences, the Ferry Building and the DeYoung Museum, but for its proximity to the diverse destinations beyond the city including wineries, ski resorts, and beaches. In just a few hours, you can sample wine in Napa and Sonoma, ski at Tahoe or Kirkwood, or relax on a beach in Carmel or Monterey.

What I love about San Francisco: I have a passion for the arts, and I love that San Francisco has a multitude of venues to explore. You can spend an afternoon downtown at the SFMOA, stop into the de Young as you are walking through Golden Gate Park, or enjoy the breathtaking architecture and view overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Golden Gate Bridge from the San Francisco Legion of Honor. No matter which you choose, I hope you relish in the richness that this city has to offer.

What I love about San Francisco: As a fitness enthusiast, I love San Francisco because of its innumerable outdoor activities and farm fresh produce. You can go on a hike in Golden Gate Park, climb to the top of Twin Peaks, or walk along the Bay at Crissy Field. Once you’ve built up an appetite, you can grab a healthy bite to eat at one of the restaurants that gets organic products shipped in from local and neighboring communities.
