5 Reasons Why We're Moving to Boulder
/I absolutely love San Francisco. I love it so much that I've never left it. So why have I decided to pack up and move? Because I want to experience what it's like to live outside of my hometown and I can't think of a better place than Boulder.
After both of my visits I came back home thinking, "Boulder is a place I could move to." So I'm doing it! I'm packing up my bags and moving to Boulder for 2 months. Here's why I've decided Boulder is a great first stop for me.
Coffee shops
Pearl street alone has an abundance of coffee shops. It seems as if there is one on every block. Most of them are pretty low key and I'd be happy to call any of them my office for the day.
Try: Ozo Coffee on Pearl
Rocky Mountain National Park
The park is absolutely beautiful. It's an easy hour drive from Boulder and gives you access to beautiful landscapes. Summer hiking is stunning and back country snowshoeing trips are an absolute must.

Local Hiking
There are tons of local hiking trails right in the city. I'm super excited to hike the Flatirons and not even have to leave the city. And since I'll be working part-time, I'll be able to visit the trails during the week and hopefully avoid the crowds.
Try: Flatirons 1-2 trail
Tech
Boulder has a tech scene. It may not be huge, but there's a good presence. It was fun to walk around Pearl Street and see startup signs next to the local restaurants and coffee shops. It's also great because that means that Boulder has coworking spaces.

Food
There's a lot of variety of food here. And you can pick if you want to indulge and grab tasty burger and fries or go healthy and choose a Paleo friendly meal.

San Francisco is a really hard city to leave, but I'm ready to move to Boulder. I'm excited to try something new, especially in a city that has so much to offer.
I'd love to hear what you loved about Boulder!
