California - time of my life

pending four months in San Francisco and California was more than just a professional experience—it was a time of personal growth, discovery, and fulfillment. I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area with other young professionals, surrounded by entrepreneurs, tech innovators, and creative minds. I explored Silicon Valley, Berkeley and Stanford, the startup world, gaining insights that shaped my thinking and career. But this time was about more than just work. California gave me space to breathe, to reflect, and to reconnect with myself. The open roads took me north to Vancouver, south to Los Angeles, and into the heart of the state’s stunning landscapes. Long drives along the Pacific Coast, the towering redwoods, the energy of new people, and the warmth of the sun all gave me a very deep personal fulfillment—one that still stays with me. Unfortunately the San Francisco I once knew — the city of my dreams — has changed during the last years, I feel a sens of regret.
