gamache / us-travel-checklist Goto Github PK

This is my fun little experiment to see if Github's crowd source model could be leveraged, given adequate exposure, for something as simple as a todo list.

There are many things I suck at, among them are:

• planning
• organization
• being touristy
• and most unfortunately, writting TODO lists.

Long story short, I'm travelling to San Fransisco for ~2 months (Aug/Sep) this year primarily, but by no means limited to, San Fransisco. I've been to the US before, spending the majority of my time in Las Vegas, NV. Looking for some fun stuff to do. The kinds of things the locals do that you don't read about in the travel guides.

Please open a pull request with your suggestion. I'll review it, and if it tickles my fancy, I'll add it below. I'll add updates in the form of mini-blogs, vlog, or photos.

TL;DR I'm an Australian web developer spending two Aug/Sep in the US, primarily but not limited San Fransisco. Looking for fun (non- touristy) stuff to do. I wonder if I can crowd source github for ideas.

Also please make my trip awesome by helping this go viral!

• Visit/tour the Google campus
• Skate around Golden Gate Park
• Catch a cable car in San Fransisco
• Drive (on the wrong side of the road)
• See Penn & Teller in Las Vegas
• See a band play (US rock bands don't often travel to Australia)
