Though I grew up in Hawaii, I’ve been working at TransPerfect’s San Francisco office for eight years now. After a year spent sailing in the South Pacific, I recently returned to this city and fell in love with it all over again. San Francisco has some extremely well-known tourist destinations that are definitely worth a visit, but I wanted to write a guide for those who desire to explore San Francisco like a local. The more layers you peel back, the quirkier this place gets; it’s weird, it’s dirty, it’s fantastic!
