11 Ways The Bay Area Is Really F*ing Cool!
San Francisco Travel

The Bay Area is known as one of the most unique places in the world. Its beautiful landscapes and adventurous lifestyles make the place seem like it is straight out of a dream. People from the Bay can all agree that there is definitely no place like home. Here are some reasons the Bay Area is really f*ing cool!

1. Culture

The cultural diversity in the Bay Area is prevalent in almost everything. The numerous festivals are inclusive of various different cultures adding to the uniqueness of the Bay. In addition, the food in the Bay Area is so diverse, you can eat food from pretty much anywhere in the world in one day. After leaving the Bay Area, culture shock is never something you have to worry about… You are the culture shock!

2. Music


The Bay Area is the home to some of the best music in the world. Every year we host killer festivals such as Outside Lands and BFD which feature various well-known artists from around the world. On top of having a really strong music festival game, the Bay has been the home of many artists including Zendaya, G-Eazy, Kehlani, and Green Day!

3. Boba Tea

It’s a fact. We have some of the best tea. Every single complex in the Bay Area has at least one boba tea place and each place has its’ own identity. Bay Area citizens are definitely conditioned to become boba tea aficionados.

4. LGBTQ

It’s no secret that the Bay Area has been heavily involved with the advancement of LGBTQ+ rights for a long time. In addition to the work done by Harvey Milk and the Castro District, we have one of the biggest pride events in the country. San Francisco is also the home to the first public high school in the country to offer a class in LGBT history and many cities in the Bay have painted rainbow crosswalks onto their streets.

5. Ice Cream

Not gonna lie, we have some of the best ice cream. Ghirardelli, Fenton’s Creamery, It’s Its! You can never get bored of the ice cream yummy-ness in the Bay.

6. Education

In addition to having many high ranked high schools and four-year colleges, we have Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley which are both ranked to be among the best in the world!

7. Technology

The Bay Area is known to have the headquarters to many of the most influential companies in the world. Twitter, Yelp, Google, Facebook, Apple, and many more. It is definitely really cool being from a place where the future is being invented every single day.

8. Interstate 280 to San Francisco

Our views are to die for. The sights on Interstate 280 make the ride from San Jose to San Francisco a magical one. And let’s not forget the Flintstone house on the way!

9. Highway 17 to Santa Cruz

Highway 17 is definitely another beautiful ride. Although the sights are beautiful, its curves make the highway one of the most dangerous routes in the state, giving it the nicknames “Killer 17” and “Blood Alley”. Evidently, driving along on highway 17 is definitely a thrill to die for!

10. Full House


Of course, there is nothing cooler than not only watching, but actually understanding, the Tanner lifestyle.

11. Sports:

We take our sports very seriously. Having some of the best sports teams in the country really brings out the competitive side of Bay Area sports fans.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
