Looking for somewhere to stay in Manchester

Hi, My name is Chaise. Im Australian but i've travelled all over so I cant necessarily say I'm from one place.

Once I finish school I'm planning on travelling to england to persue bartending or just working in pubs until I find a job I want to do for the rest of my life.

I'm looking for somewhere to stay not just in manchester but aywhere in england with a good football/pub life (im trying to get more into football) and I'd love to make friends with people who are happy to show me around the place just to help me settle in. I dont need much and I'm not picky at all with my living situation as long as I have a roof over my head, a fridge, and some chill roomates. I am very tidy and dont have many posessions and I am also happy with whatever animals someone might own. My music taste is mostly 90s and 2000s rock and metal but I listen to almost anything, plus I own headpbones if it's not your vibe.

To be honest I'm looking for connections and friends to travel around with on holidays and bake for as well because these are my biggest hobbies. Plus I am working on speaking french so if anyone with that skill is interested in living with me that would be super cool.
