I like your idea! I too have been interested in staying in a different city (NYC) to check out the tech-scene before considering relocating there. Though I've been to NYC probably 10+ times to visit family, I have yet to see if it's a place "tech-worthy" enough to consider making a home there (in the sense of having enough job opportunities, like-minded folk, etc).

I found this digital.nyc site which has a lot of resources. Perhaps SF has a similar site.

There's lots to see and do in the Bay Area (everywhere, not just SF). Do you have an itinerary in mind? Here's just a few of the things you can do:

  - Hiking (tons of places with great trails e.g. Mt Tamalpais)  
  - Food  
  - Museums  
  - https://www.san-francisco-theater.com/  
  - Napa/Sonoma  
  - etc. etc.
And if you have a list of companies to visit, that can fill up your days pretty quickly.

What would you recommend to do? Go to meetups / what else? is there a website where I can see all cool events in SF for next week?

I think you may be looking for something like this, but for SF. Does anyone know if something like this exists? http://www.digital.nyc/events

Are you worried that you'll be bored? You certainly shouldn't be.

Worried that you have other things fighting for your attention that might be better uses of your time? That's a more personal question.
