“Let us toast to animal pleasures, to escapism, to rain on the roof and instant coffee, to unemployment insurance and library cards, to absinthe and good-hearted landlords, to music and warm bodies and contraceptives… and to the “good life”, whatever it is and wherever it happens to be.”

Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman

55 Cities is a celebration of the people, places and experiences that make up our world through the art of storytelling.

Our goal is to unite people through shared experiences, facilitating that connection through art, vocation, travel, food and always some amount of unforeseen circumstance. 

We want these stories to inspire you to be curious. To get out of your comfort zone and experience the people and cultures that make up your city and your world.  

These are our stories. Don’t forget to join in the conversation and share your thoughts, stories and ideas frequently through the comments.

Thanks for joining us.
