Side Hustle for Students Abroad 🎒

I was scrolling through my saved spots on Google Maps and realized—after years living in Berkeley and SF, I’ve explored almost every corner of this compact yet amazing area 🗺️❤️. There are so many cafés, restaurants, museums, beautiful architecture, parks, and hidden gems for city walks and hiking trails—all marked densely across the map! Here’s a seaside SF city walk route I tried recently: Start with a gentle climb at Fort Mason, then stroll along the coast 🚶‍♀️🌊. Stop by the pier to watch the sea lions, visit the famous Wave Organ to experience its acoustic vibes 🎶, and end at the Palace of Fine Arts. Relax on the grass there and watch the seagulls “washing their feet” 🦆😄. Catch the bus back from Aquatic Cove—I was even lucky enough to catch some leftover Independence Day fireworks! 🎇 (Allow 3-4 hours to fully enjoy this walk.) Since I was little, friends and family always told me: “You love exploring and sharing stories so much—you should be a tour guide!” Well, I ended up studying architecture instead 🏛️📐—which is also great! Now I have the perfect excuse to travel: studying buildings, houses, public spaces, parks, museums… learning about history, culture, and local environments. It’s academic. It’s official. It’s the perfect cover for adventure 😉 Maybe it’s time to finally start that side hustle as a guide! Update (Nov 04, 2024): Recently, many people have been reaching out—thank you! 🙌 Currently, I’m only available on weekends. Weekdays are packed with school 🏫. #TravelTheWorld #SFGuide #Berkeley #UCBerkeley #USATourGuide #BayArea #WestCoastStudies
