At our traditional Nigerian wedding in October 2016

We met at Cigar Bar in Jackson Square San Francisco in 2012. Tom was hosting a client happy hour and Bola walked in. Our lives were changed forever. We are young professionals working in hospitality and tech. We are financing our purchase with our own hard earned savings! We committed 5 years ago to this journey to buy a house and never let that stop us from starting new businesses, going to grad school, and taking dozens of trips seeing family and living life to its fullest. We are hard workers, fiscally responsible, and excited about this journey to find our forever home.

Bola Akinsanya

Head of Global Scaled Operations, Airbnb Experiences

Born in Nigeria, I’ve been lucky to call many places home including New York, Alabama, Georgia, and San Francisco for the last 8 years. I am an avid traveler. Over the last 15 years, I have explored 20+ countries including: Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Slovenia, Belgium, France, Italy, Ireland, UK, Spain, Portugal, and many, many, more!

While I love to wander and explore the world, nowhere has ever felt like home quite like San Francisco. The fog welcomed me with open arms and beauty of rolling hills and colorful houses tied me down.

Tom and I are urban hiking fanatics. We call them #walkabouts and pick a new neighborhood every weekend to explore. We regularly cover 10 miles in a given outing and reward ourselves with brunch, dinners, coffees, and other bits where we land. Golden Gate Park is my second home and Ocean Beach provides the calm needed after exhaustive work travels.

I started cycling about a year ago and it has given me the mobility to explore even more of the city, simplify my commute, and venture outside of the city.

Tom Stankiewicz

Director at Foursquare

Polish by birth and Portuguese by culture, I grew up close to the Cape in Massachusetts. I moved to San Francisco right after college at the age of 21. My brother lived here at the time and I came out for the first time a year before moving. After my first visit, I knew this is where I would be spending the rest of my life. I spent the first 12 years in North Beach and have been here 17 years. I’ve been moving further west the last 5 years and have enjoyed being in the Sunset District and all the neighborhoods north and south.

I’ve been in advertising for 15 years, but also took a swing at launching my own financial firm 3 years ago. I returned to advertising little over a year ago to explore my growing interest in data, measurement, and analytics.

Golf is the second love of my life and I try to get out as regularly as possible. San Francisco and the Bay Area offer top notch courses and it’s something I take full advantage of. Sports are a big part of my life! Football, baseball, basketball, hockey, you name it!

We love live music and traveling to see some of our favorite bands.

Scenic views of Ocean Beach over the years mixed with photos of us around the world. We currently rent an apartment on 16th avenue and make the trek to the beach regularly. From moon Jellyfish season in September to foggy rainbows and epic sunsets year round, San Francisco is magic.
