Manchester is a great city, all the benefits of London without the housing nightmare.
This is what I keep hearing!
Word up!
Shhhh - we don't need more people finding out
I have been a southerner stuck up north . It is hard to get back home .
Well bloody said 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿❤❤❤
I’m a Londoner but spent 6 years studying and having the time of my life in Manchester. It’s the only city I say I would live in other than London!
I'm so happy that you are blessed to be surrounded by such good people! Love your videos and all that you have accomplished- keep going girl!! :)
Thank you soo much for the love! ❤️
Yesss I LOVE this 💕
I personally had to extend my trip when I visited Manchester because it was such a vibe ✨
just found your channel and have been binge watching all your london and UK vlogs. THANK YOU FOR DOCUMENTING IT ALL! its been a dream of mine to move to London, and i think running across your channel is definitely a sign to start saving and make a move!! please never stop vlogging ❤️❤️
this makes me so happy, thank you!! 😊💕
I grew up in Manchester and towards my mid teens between Manchester and London. Our Saturday hangout was the Arndale ❤️ I was lucky enough to be a part of the musical revolution in the late 80’s, early 90’s. The nightlife in Manchester was something else and The Hacienda was the place to be, with people coming from all over the world. It’s definitely one of my favourite places to live, along with London and Chester, which was a beautiful place to live, kinda between Liverpool and Manchester. I haven’t been back to Manchester, since the late 90’s (moved to Canada in 2k) but would LOVE to go back, I want to visit the Trafford Centre there. Thanks for always easing my homesickness, for the UK, with your videos 😘 There are so many beautiful places in England/UK you have yet to discover. Keep on keeping on!
Saying hi from Seattle! Such a great vlog, thanks for sharing. I visited England (mostly London) back in 2004. Me and my bestie so want to visit Manchester. Looks like an amazing and interesting city to learn about and enjoy spending time in.
Hell, I don't even live in England and that guy has me considering moving to Manchester! I'm sold! 😂😂😂
I love it 🤣
I loveee your vids keep living your best life Paige !!!
Yayyy thank you!!
I absolutely love this video...it's official Manchester will be my graduation gift to myself!! ❤❤
This was a great vlog! Got me wanting to visit Manchester myself.
Londoner living in Brum.
I think if you are considering it, that’s a sign that you should look further into the pros and cons….don’t underestimate the use of a good ole pro/con list….London is where you started but it’s not the only place to where you can bloom!!!
I don’t know if I could ever really leave London but we’ll see! 😆💕
God bless for this comment ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love how willing people are to be on your channel especially when theyre so insightful
I really appreciate it as well!!
Great trip. Loved the time with Sylvie’s friends. They mentioned Salford as part of Manchester which is where my mum is originally from. Great city so rebuilt after massive bombings during WWII- reverted from industrial north. Haven’t been since I was back with my family while in university. Well worth going to visit but too far away from london to live lol. Wonderful ending to a fantastic road trip!
Thanks so much for watching!
Out of all the cities you've visited recently (Liverpool, Birmingham), Manchester by far is my favorite - it just has certain vibe to it. It was good also to see Slyviee(sp) uni classmate and gf - he gave plenty of history and other significant stories about Manchester, especially the apt/flat pricing. Hey, did you attend any of the African activities that was going on in the city? As always thanks so much for taking us (fans) along with u during your city-to-city tour of England.
Great video Paige, where you choose to live will be your choice, we can only hope it's right choice good luck !!!!👍
Thanks for watching Mary!
Thanks again for sharing, I am enjoying them all. Bring back memories. Jealous wish I back I there **waiting for the pandemic to end to visit🖤💚💛
takes me back to my uni days! miss that place. If only it was closer to london, I'd have loved to live there
I lived in Manchester for 2 years, and I'm strongly considering moving back. It's a fantastic city.
That man is the perfect salesman, what an amazing encounter!
😊😊
That couple seems cool as hell.
Do they have social media?
I've been to Manchester a few times and really liked it.
It's a big city but nothing like London, the centre is quite quite compact.
Of course with the rain you saw, you seem to have caught Manchester on a good weather day ;o)
Manchester gets about 150 days a year where it rains vs just over 100 in London and the total amount of rainfall is about double in Manchester
But umbrellas are cheap and there's plenty to do inside.
Wow!!
I love your positive attitude and yes I can see you living in Manchester. 😀
Great video. Manchester is an amazing city and a creative powerhouse. Glad you had a good time 😀
Thanks so much 😊
That Manchester couple were soooo sweet
Manny can't compete with London for activities as London's the capitol & about 4 times the size but it's a close second UK wise but if you did relocate you could still make regular commutes to London (2hrs by train) and book a hotel if needed and it would still work out much cheaper.
Definitely a place to consider!
Omg you should 100% move to Manchester. I'm a proud Mancunian and it is such a great city to live in xx
I really like it there!
I love Manchester, it checks so many boxes. Post Covid it will be back to all its glory.
I have family in Manchester. Manchester reminds me of Baltimore/Philly especially downtown. Its quiet and reminds me of suburban Maryland town. I am glad you are exploring England. I love England!
I used to say the same. It has a vibe and yet you have space to be still.
Downtown Brooklyn the gentrification areas looks similar to Manchester.. I would visit or the countryside of the U.K..
I live near Manchester. You said some Very nice things about us. Thank you very much!!
I like hustle and bustle… it’s like a car in the driveway even if you’re not going anywhere!
I love Manchester can't wait to go back!
Same!!
Manny is a vibeee
Ok, I live in Las Vegas and I want to study at this school in Ealing. But watching this I'm now sold to move to Manchester right after! Also your friends are the sweetest!!
Thames valley uni
I can't wait to be living in Manchester UK next month 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
I'm really surprised you guys never spent any time in the Spinningfields and First Street districts of the city (both up just off Deansgate where the new big skyscrapers are). Be sure to hit them next time. The same for Media City and the Trafford Centre (a 20 minute tram journey). 👍🍺
Peace. ☮️✌️
Looks like alot of fun. A energetic city. I like it.
“Hey y’all welcome back to my channel” *screaming* with Paige everytime lol
Enjoyed the vlog ! Manchester is such an interesting city xD
😊😊💗
Great vlog! You need to come back again you missed so much, fright island, hatch, spinningfields and salford quays are a must visit next time your back!! FYI fright island is best in the evening
I’ll definitely be back! I tried to make a reservation at Freight Island but they were all booked up 😓
@@PaigeMariah aww gutted for you! Make sure to book there ahead when traveling back, check out 20 stories to! Lovely cocktail on Manchester’s tallest rooftop bar
I'm moving here from London next month!❤
Do it Paige!! ❤️
😆😆
I'm so glad you visited Manchester. I'm from London and love Manchester. Such a cool vibe
I love Manchester planning to move there too
I used to work on Deansgate
Manchester was a fantastic city years ago ,it sounds Brilliant now ,if was a young man I'd be looking at jobs in Manchester, right now .
You should definitely move to Manchester. Northerns are generally more friendly than the southerners 😂😂
Slightly cheaper too , but I think London has more nightlife etc
Ok, Minneapolis to Manchester, that guy is convincing me to move there. Those two were so friendly! Also, love Manchester, only been there once, but when I'm home in the UK next, we're going!
Haha love it!
I'll be moving to Sheffield, South Yorkshire from Minneapolis, MN and Manchester is about an hour away from where my fiancé and I will live, re-thinking moving to Manchester! Haha love your videos, it is getting me excited about my move!
Haha I love it! Good luck with your move 😊
You should reconsider, especially coming from America. Sheffield can't compare to Manchester (Manchester is MUCH better for everything!!).. and this is coming from soneone who lives in Sheffield!
Now the weather is lush you should do St Ives 😍
I’ll add it to my list!!
I'm really liking Manchester and Liverpool. I've done my time living in Los Angeles and Manhattan and it was fun back in my youth. A Manchester or Liverpool offers a balance to life. You can enjoy the fun activities including great shopping but at the same time purchase a nice large affordable house. I call that winning. And the UK is small not like America that requires substantial travel time to visit a place like London or Manhattan type place.
Very nice video.
Paige can we start a poll of what next city do we want Paige and crew to visit? Lol
I'm voting for either Brighton or Edinburgh Scotland.
Love it! I’m actually on my way back from Brighton right now 😉
@@PaigeMariah Awesome.
Girl all that for under $1200 month!!! I'm currently scoping out 2 bedrooms for $4k/month in Boston!! I might move to Manchester lol!!
😆😆😆
Sounds like a plan.
Ha! My life too Sis. Got to the point, I had to move North of Boston...ugh!
@@PaigeMariah it looks like London is doing a night time forest walk off of the Harry Potter named the : Forbidden Forest Experience 😁 when it comes out officially please consider doing a vlog 🥰
Rental in the city all over is always more expensive! I understand how & why many folks here in U.S are opting to live in RVs!! No rent, utilities etc.. I think having children can be more difficult to do so.. Rent & some mortgages are too high period! Salaries low!!
I'm so jelous that it's raining over there. I love the cold and rain but here (in Israel, hi :)) it's constantly hot and dry. I wish I could visit the UK again but Covid is a bummer
Wow! Hopefully you can visit again sooner than later
The only caveat is that the North West of the U.K. which includes Manchester and Liverpool has the jet stream nearby most of the year so it has much more rain and cloudy skies than the South East of England ( London).
Manchester Caribbean Carnival is a vibe too.
When exactly is this?
@@momonaturale Its in August. But due to covid it wont be on again until 2022.
@@SoFrolushes 😔 ok I'll definitely be apart of it next year.
Lol don’t set these people up for disappointment. Manchester carnival is probably one of the worst. Manchester City centre is fun, but once you get into the residential areas there isn’t much going on,
@@momonaturale There are some websites that list Caribbean Carnivals around the UK. Hopefully they will update 2022 season
The music out of Manchester is fantastic. Check out Children Of Zeus from Manchester UK. Also from London, Emmavie. The music coming out of the UK is game changer.
Yes you should!
I’m actually moving to Manchester from the US and this video has got me even more excited now to move 🤣
Good luck. If you wanna see what Manchester is really like check out Charles veitch or Fritz media on YT
Shopping and good food .Nothing better than that
🙌🏼
Talking about prices - I rented a two double bedroom apartment, two bathrooms, separate kitchen, living area large enough for 2 sofas and a dining table to sit 6 people…oh and I had a garage and a balcony with water views. Price, £875 per month - I eventually ended up buying the flat from the landlord when he decided to sell it.
I grew up near Manchester! Fun city.
Loved it!
I'm trying to move to the UK! Manchester is Lit!
Ayeeee
I'm definitely going to have to visit Manchester again in the future, so many people fall in love with the city, but I hated it when I visited back in 2016! I think I might've just had a bad experience because I definitely missed out on whatever it is that makes people fall in love :D
I'm Manchester born and bred. May I just say that you just seem to drift through life like a dream. Beautiful.
Haha aww thank you! 😅
Manchester is my favourite city in the UK!
Afflecks was a diamond in the ruff awesome place
You’re making me miss Manchester😢
There was an old curry house in Eccles, Manchester, back in 1976 that served cheap but tasty fare. I urge you to try it out. It is so famous, you can ask any local. Make sure to check out the areas of Moss Side and Whalley Range for a bit of diverse culture rather than just the city center. But if you are stuck in the center, the Rylands museum and the Free Trade Hall are worth a stop. Go for it!
Are you talking abot the Taj Mahal?
@@speedtriplerider7853 Good grief! How amazing. Right first time! We are both time travellers.
I've been trying to figure out why Alex looks SO familiar...but now I'm thinking she reminds me of Storm Reid and not someone I know personally 😁
Paige (through you) I like "Mannie"I haven't seen everywhere there but what you have shared I vote YES.
😊😊
Nice! Have you ever thought of visiting Sheffield? I'm just asking because that is where I was born, it's not too far from Manchester.
I think you would love Manchester. It's a very fun city with loads of indie businesses and creative people. Then there's the nightlife, which is always good. Perhaps try it for six months when your lease runs out. Renting there is so much easier than in London, so you can be a little more spontaneous as there's greater availability of flats.
Thanks for this!!
Fun fact for y'all: Rev. Jessie Jackson was very impressed with Manchester. He also made this great quote about Manny: " London may be the capital of the UK, but Manchester is its soul".
You're not wrong, Jessie!
Just watched this video again. There is something very attractive about the UK mid size cities. Not too big but they offer more than enough options that you would find similar in a huge city. But being less busy the mid size city has less the stress and offer much better buying opportunities for homes. And to be honest I wouldn't even mind the shorter shopping hours in mid size cities. I would simply start out earlier. Because that's exactly how it works in American mid size large cities like Dallas. The only super late nite shopping malls in America are Orlando Florida and that's because we're the outlet mall central of America. We go until 11pm.
Manchester looks like a winner. I might have to check it out this year.
Being English really love ❤️ American
L worked in Manchester years ago and like most city's there's nice areas and not so nice. But it's like anywhere in the world if you got plenty of money it's ok but if you haven't got much it isnt
Oh Yess… you must move to Manchester!! That guy needs to be a
the spokesperson for this place… He sold me😝
😆😆 Love it!
So beautiful
Wow, a lot of Brits say American portions are large but those portions were massive!
If you’re referring to Home Sweet Home, I think it may have been American inspired 🤣
I live in Manchester!!!!
Bloody hell , I was staff at your Manchester accommodation for a long time . If walls could talk....
Hi Paige, my son lives there and goes to Uni !
Nice!!
If You’re Happy Then I’m Happy 😊.
Selfishly, an additional year in London vlog then a year in an "open" Manchester vlog would be subscribers 🔥. Plus, thinking of all that savings$ you could reinvest in your businesses and RothIRA/IRA and 😁
Ooooh I like the way you think lol
Why do I feel convinced to move to Manchester instead of London 😫 he really needs commission! This entire serious has really opened my eyes to what's outside of London! Can't wait for the Brighton video!
Manchester was voted the 3rd best City in the world. And you can see why, the place is full of History, culture and has a huge vibe. It is very diverse, there is 200 different languages spoken in Manchester and I know there are place all over the world that has terrible things like murders. Manchester including, but the people tend to be very polite.
amazing
Manchester is littt
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Paige, I'm not worried about whether you move to Manchester because I think you just FINALIZED my plans chile......LOL This whole vid made me Pout with jealousy again!!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
It is rainy, you can move to oxford, or south cambridge,, you are not too far from the action.
Cheaper places start in Buckinghamshire.
Manchester sounds like my type of city. Quaint yet thriving! However, I don't know if it's your vibe?!? Tfs
Quaint? 😲 I certainly wouldn't call Manchester quaint. Are you sure you're not thinking of Oxford or Cambridge?! 😂
Definitely not quaint
Quaint 😆 you having a laugh?
You should deffo move to manc!!!
Uhhh yeeessss!!!
I like how the person who told you about canal street, didn't tell you what it's about, it's also known as the gay village
The greatest city on earth, yeah I said it 🙂
Manchester is a a nice City.
It is!
I’m 19 & American but have dreams to move to the UK. Going in august to explore over there for the first time!
I’m a proud Mancunian … born and bred …. I’m so glad that you liked our city … in fact it’s 2 cities together as the city of Salford is just across the river Irwell … so 2 cities for the price of one …. 👍
I love that your pants give me a Chick-Fil- A vibe..
Canal Street is known as the gay quarter- more known for night life. Manchester also famous for music- The Stone Roses, Oasis, Happy Mondays, The Smiths, New Order etc,
Thanks for this info!
And the R&B group Cleopatra (Nice vlog Paige)
@@hophip236 not sure that’s something Manchester would want to boast about though 😂
I like the Manchester accent
Me too!
