City Guides

Take a crafty tour of the cities and hometowns of our members to discover their favorite shops, restaurants and inspiring hang-outs

Bristol, England •

The best thing about living in Bristol is its independent spirit and its funky street art which has transformed parts of the city into a huge outdoor art gallery. Street artist Banksy started off in Bristol and the city continues this legacy by welcoming street art and street art festivals such as See No Evil and UpFest.



Glasgow, Scotland •

The best thing about Glasgow is it is a big little city. Everything is so accessible and easy to get to. Even though it's a city, it's cheap to live in. The streets are full of people, but you're likely to bump into a friend along the way. There are so many events and activities to take part in all at your doorstep.



Mexico City, Mexico •
Newcastle, England •

Newcastle is underrated. We don't get swarms of tourists in Newcastle because everyone outside of it thinks of mining, Billy Elliott and Geordie Shore (yes, it's a rip-off of Jersey Shore) when they hear Newcastle. It's literally student heaven. In comparison to most (or all) other student towns and cities rents are cheap, going out is cheap, living is cheap in general and there's a fantastic underground alternative scene happening. Culturally Newcastle satisfies all my needs: independent cinemas, theatres, two Universities, eco-shops, etc. - It may not have the sightseeing quality that London or Edinburgh have, but it's got charm and it's unique. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else and I hope the creative scene keeps on striving without attracting too much attention that might spoil the city.
