Travelling to SFO for next 6 months. Client in San Jose. What nature places can I explore after work? I can leave early and have a car. Anyone else in the Sam's boat?

I do most of my exploring on weekends since driving around takes time. Traffic sucks and under the best conditions, assume 1.5-2 hours to drive from SJ to SF. During the week, you can do dinner in different areas in SF and in the Peninsula to explore. Half Moon Bay is nice and has good restaurants, and there are some good wineries around Cupertino/the Santa Cruz mountains. Santa Cruz itself is a fun beach town. I’m relatively new to the area tho so I‘m still figuring things out myself. Happy to meet up as well. Also there is a major climate difference between South Bay (SJ) and SF- be prepared to dress accordingly and carry layers.

Send me your email and I can send some tips. Need to remember where we’ve been that was good.

There are a ton of great trails on highway 1, that you can explore in the evening.

I've lived here for years, happy to give restaurant recs. as far as outdoor space, depends on what you want to see/do and how far you're willing to go. Lots of great hikes in Saratoga area. Are you able to disclose which part of SJ you're staying?

Fave place to hike is Rancho San Antonio off of 280 north of Cupertino. Different levels and safe for solo/female hikes. Appropriate for early morning or after work too.

I recently joined TW some months back and I dont know why I think have made a wrong choice for myself. I am feeling like I am lost. I am not able to fit in in this high expectations environment. I am used to working in a place where we always worked by taking help from others and here it is sort of assumed that we would be knowing everything right from day 1. Also there is no pairing in my project. Any suggestions on what should be done would be welcome.

Is it really that important ?
