I lived in London and worked at a Soho pub for 3 months during my Uni days. This city is energetic and full of life. You can feel the history all around you.

By far, my favourite city in the world.

Don’t go alone and longing for a far away love. Torture

I was born here but my family emigrated to Canada when I was 3. I’ve been back several times and have been able to see another side to this working class town. Any music fan needs to see Manchester to appreciate how struggle has influenced some of the best bands of our time. Granted, the Hacienda is gone and the rave scene is not what it was 10 years ago but there is something about this city that continues to inspire. It may not be pretty but it is real.
