Kiwi moving to SF

My job has seconded me to SF for 2 years. I’m moving from Sydney, Australia and although nervous, I am super excited for a new life in SF.

I’m 31 M, recently single. I currently live in Coogee in Sydney (one of the city beaches in the east).

I’m hoping to get some advice on where I should live. I’ve been looking at Haight, Duboce Triangle, Cow Hollow, NOPA. I am able to spend up to $4200 per month in rent. My office is in Telegraph Hill, so not the easiest with public transport.

A bit about me:

• I enjoy being social, I won’t have a big crew in SF when I land, so I’ll be trying hard to make new friends
• I love walking, road biking, drinking very basic beers haha, and don’t mind a boogie every now and then
• I’m keen to get join a social netball or touch rugby team, too
• I’m also eager to volunteer. I volunteer with a dog adoption agency here in Sydney, but would love to find something that helps the elderly or helps homeless get back onto their feet.

Thanks! I can’t wait to be in your beautiful city!
