Explore the world. If you are working remotely, and don’t have anything tying you down, go crazy, get out and see the world and enjoy as much of it as you can.

Dating is great. Everybody’s single! If family is anywhere in tarot cards, I’d recommend moving elsewhere. The majority of SF is 20 years behind their biological prime for the type of relationship they are looking for. Sort of like going to college in your 40s.

It’s my 9-5, but afterwards I want to talk about anything else. I do read HN religiously though :) In my totally honest opinion, if you are shying away from the tech identity, then SF might be a bad choice. The city culture is, these days, totally…

Please dont send any techies to istanbul. We have enough problems already.
