Everything, Except a Beach
Manchester sits in the North West of England, UK and has been my home since I arrived for University 7 years ago. Whilst I grew up in the neighbouring county, and was born abroad, Manchester is where I have made my fondest memories and subsequently my darkest too. As a multicultural city, without the London price tag, it is known globally for football (Manchester United and City), music (Oasis, Joy Division, the Bee Gees), science and innovation (Graphene and Alan Turing) and it's own mayor, Andy Burnham, was crowned 'the King of the North' after advocating relentlessly with the British government during the pandemic to assist the more deprived and neglected north of England.
