san francisco: travel through the quaint neighborhood streets of the upper haight and head further up passed buena vista park to roosevelt way and museum way to discover a large rock formation at corona heights. as you ascend the hill, you will be greeted with spectacular views of the city. be sure to snap a photo or two while you're there, but don't drop your camera/iphone.
san francisco: make your way up the sweeping hills of the city to presidio st and pacific st where you'll find an entrance back down into san francisco's presidio. walk down and around, through the trees and about the greens on paved ways and ad hoc paths. there's a ton of secluded bits to explore. when you start running into tourists and too many people, you have my permission to get out of there immediately.
take a ride to your nearest beach on a less desirable day - the foggier, the moodier, the overcastier the better. enjoy exploring the eerie atmosphere, get lost in your solitude and consider the stark contrast of the beach on a sunny day. if i were you, i would avoid swimming, drowning and falling off cliffs. no one will find you.
whenever you wander about, take a moment to find reflections in unexpected places and unconventional surfaces. consider how objects and faces transform and take color depending on the type of surface you're looking at. i'd refrain from becoming too curious around water, especially if you're really interested in staying dry.
book yourself an adventure to distant lands exclusively by yourself. the further, the better. take lots of photos, meet lots of people, and break lots of your own personal rules. i'd like to suggest the beautiful city of amsterdam as the location of your solo adventure. it's clean, friendly and full of activities. if you aren't very resourceful, are a little bit shy, or unwilling to try something new, then you'll probably have a really, really bad time. don't die!
san francisco: take a trip over to clarion alley between mission and valencia to find the clarion alley mural project. every wall space in covered in amazing murals that differ from one another immensely. pick your favorite mural and take a picture. my favorite? the pixel unicorns shooting deadly laser beams out of their multicolored hoofs.
