Does anyone have any tips for moving to the valley at a young age? I'm very young, not from the US and looking to move to the valley to be around more ambitious people. Any tips or things I should know? Neighbourhoods to consider? Areas to be in? What to avoid? How to meet people? Hidden gems?

Maybe your question is worth its own thread. Your biggest hurdle will be immigrating to the US. As far as I know the best way to manage that would be to finish your studies in the US. If you're from Canada I believe getting a visa is easier. Many cities/countries have good startup cultures nowadays, and SV is no longer the only option to get started!

Thank you for this. I appreciate your input. I started a thread [ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39205494 ]. I am from Canada and do have US family.

Not a book, and a bit self promotional, but I have a small photo series I worked on https://mkaz.com/silicon-valley/ Also, look for Silicon Valley '07 by Gabriele Basilico, it's a photo book - not a huge coffee table book but pretty good with about 80-100 photos from 2007

I like your photos, but you should use small thumbnail images, instead of having the browser scale the full size images to thumbnail size.
