Over the span of my varied educational and employment history - having lived in Canada, Japan, Paris and now London - writing has always been my passion. In using language to engage passion and move people, I've been a journalist, travel blogger, and an educator.

Liz Devaney sees aparthotel sales as something a bit like gambling. "If you play blackjack and you get a 16 you might twist, but then you get an 18, you're getting to the wire now." For Aparthotels, it goes beyond the typical always-sell mentality that defines most hotels: it means balancing short term with longer-term business travellers.

In the late 18 th Century, a then-small town known as Manchester started using steam-powered machines to speed up the rate of its cotton production. Thanks to a variety of factors-from its existing textile production, its proximity to the coast, the high levels of coal and scientific advancements-it became the first industrial city.
