    Of the cities I have actually been to which are solely in Europe, although have plans to change that next year with a visit to USA, I would have to pick Florence.

    It’s beautiful, full of classic places, architecture and art and don’t get me started on the food and the ice cream.

    There are some magic places. That’s one of my favourites aswell. Have you heard of windy gap.

    Skiddaw is a horrible climb but when you get to the top and your above the clouds it’s like your in an airplane big your walking around.

    Vienna the best city I’ve been to. Beautiful, historical, great food, nice people. It’s pricey but only one that really stands out.

    Honolulu, Los Angeles, Amsterdam and Rome of those that I have been to.

    Worst - Philadelphia. A ghetto.

    New York was an amazing place which I enjoyed. Toronto was also fantastic and because I went for the UFC, met Stipe Miocic, I think it will always live long in the memory. Special mention to Seville too, food was amazing and it was a great couples location.

    But I'd have to go Santa Monica. Probably just the whole laid back vibe suited me down to the ground. Definitely doing a fly drive of the west coast drive from San Fran to San Diego in years to come.

    A problem with the entirity of England this. Completely overcrowded.

    During WW2, the Americans described the UK as a can of sardines, on my last visit I got it 100%. Everywhere is always packed with people no matter the day or the hour.

    Going to Scotland or Wales is like a break.

    Venice Beach on the other hand is a **** hole.

    The PCH1 drive from LA drive is something that everyone needs to do.

    Port Louis is phenomenal. The sights, sounds and smells are amazing. The Mauritian people are the friendliest people I ever encountered.

    In the UK, my favourite city is Durham. I absolutely love the place. I have been to other similar cities and none of them quite compare.

    Drove that in a white stretch limo once. It was the same limo an oscar winning cinematographer used the week before for the Oscars.
