**What is life like living in San Francisco?** 

San Francisco’s climate, surrounding landscape, and lively atmosphere are what draw people to the city. There is never a dull moment!

For those who like outdoor activities, you can find people surfing, mountain biking, trail running, hiking, and sea kayaking. For those who love to eat, there are hole-in-the-wall restaurants, Michelin star ones, and everything in between. You can find almost any ethnic food in town.

There are abundant local events including street fairs, concerts, theaters, and parades. Of course, one can simply take a deep breath and relax in the Golden Gate Park or by Ocean Beach.

If you want to go wine tasting, you can easily travel to Sonoma or Napa Valley. The closest ski area is only 3 hours away from San Francisco. The possibilities are endless!
