Where are you at in your life stage?
Lots of change in my life right now - recent empty nester and new to my neighborhood. I'm closing in on retirement and working as a consultant. I now have free time to do some of the things I enjoy.
How's your life?
Life is great, and I'm excited about finally having the time to do what I enjoy.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Being outside keeps me sane - hiking, biking, paddleboarding, walking my Great Dane. I've also enjoyed rediscovering reading for fun. To wind down, I love to cook while enjoying a glass of wine.
What is most important to you right now?
I'd love to meet some new like-minded people. I enjoy meeting new people, and working remotely and as a consultant limits my ability.
Anything you recently found interesting?
The world is such a strange place right now. The news never fails to surprise me.

Hi -I ride a Trek hybrid bike. I'm not a huge bike rider but enjoy it. How do you like Banker's Hill, and where were you prior to moving there?

Where are you at in your life stage?
Focused on work-life balance, taking advantage of all the great outdoor activities available in the San Diego area, exploring new interests.
How's your life?
My life is good atm. But…..I do not know many people in San Diego. I moved from the New York City area a few years ago. I lean toward the introverted end of the spectrum. I have a girlfriend, but it would be nice to meet others — particularly other 40+ year old people who have moved here in the last few years and are seeking social connections.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Per the above — work life balance. The great weather in San Diego and spending time outdoors. Spending time with friends and family. But…I don’t really have any local friends (other than girlfriend).
What is most important to you right now?
I guess the things I have mentioned in the above responses. As mentioned, I moved to the San Diego area a few years ago, from the east coast. I am introvert-leaning. Would like a few quality social connections in San Diego.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I find too many things interesting to list them all here. But, to name a few: AI, the hiking trails around San Diego, the evolving San Diego restaurant scene, Bourbon, biking, live music concerts/performances.

Hi I like to bike and golf and eat good food. I may be too old at 60+. Let me know.

Where are you at in your life stage?
I just turned 30, and I moved to San Diego from the Bay Area in 2021. I am also trying to find a sense of community where I can connect with like-minded folks and have adventures around the city. I'm currently focusing on some hobbies, both new and old. I'm trying to explore to find purpose in life!
How's your life?
My life is okay right now! I have some great physical and artistic hobbies I like to partake in, which keeps me busy. I am in between jobs (thanks layoffs!) trying to find my next move, so that has been a bit stressful. I would love to put myself in new scenarios to expand my horizons.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Reading books (I have a goal of 26 this year), running (training for an upcoming half marathon), acting, ice skating, singing (not well, heh), and skateboarding.
What is most important to you right now?
Finding a community! :)
Anything you recently found interesting?
I recently went whale watching and didn't know there were so so many vast whales and dolphins in San Diego's beaches! :D The dolphins were super cute and friendly! :)

Where are you at in your life stage?
I’m somewhere between quarter life crisis and on top of the world. My 30th birthday is next week & life keeps getting more interesting. I relocated to San Diego almost 6 years ago, the biggest challenge has been making genuine connections since leaving home.
How's your life?
I’ve got some good things going for me. I have a supportive and loving husband, the means to experience things that bring me joy (traveling, eating, sitting on patios drinking wine), my job is mostly good. The thing that keeps nagging at me is my lack of connection here in Southern California, and generally, actually. I don’t really have a family. I miss having close friends near by.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Good food, reality TV & getting outside.
What is most important to you right now?
Health & happiness. My marriage. Growth. Meaningful connections.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I recently listened Trejo, by Danny Trejo, on audible. I didn’t know what I expected when I bought the book, but wow, I was immediately hooked. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a good laugh but also a compelling story.

Where are you at in your life stage?
Currently funemployed! Took some time to travel, now just building up my life in San Diego and trying to find my favorite spots. Also trying to learn how to swim...but it is harder than I expect every single time.
How's your life?
Saying yes to interesting and scary opportunities has been exciting and fruitful and I'm always interested in improving at things I'm bad at. Nevertheless, life is relentless and every day I am exhausted :)))
What helps you keep your sanity?
Climbing, bachata, and Peep Show
What is most important to you right now?
Establishing a solid friend group in SD and exploring home
Anything you recently found interesting?
I find the concept of dropshipping really fascinating (don't worry I'm not going to do it)

He / Him

San Diego, CA

Where are you at in your life stage?
I’m content, happy, learning gratitude, acceptance. I’ve learned to prioritize happiness, well I’m still learning. I’m 42, I feel the same as I always have, just a little wiser. Making connections is a little difficult for me due to my job. I do think shared experiences are more memorable so I’m hoping to meet some good people here for either intelligent conversation, outdoor activities, or both.
How's your life?
My life is good, I’m very fortunate. My work rotation is 4 weeks on / 4 weeks off. So I’m either gone, or in San Diego with lots of time. I work internationally and have for most of my career. My younger brother and his family who I’m very close to are moving to Miami, so that’s a big change for me.
What helps you keep your sanity?
The gym, family, having a job that I enjoy, walks, plants, fostering dogs, surfing, snorkeling La Jolla, swimming to the sea caverns.
What is most important to you right now?
Mental and physical health. Being present, going to the beach. Enjoying my life.
Anything you recently found interesting?
3 Body Problem, thinking about the concepts and science in the show, and the Dark Forest hypothesis.

Congrats on prioritizing yourself and your happiness!
