Following the news that Bristol has the highest rate of young people moving there of anywhere in the UK, Sham Ahmed showed BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat around his home city.
The 25-year-old photographer, youth worker and proud Bristolian took a tour of some of his favourite spots including St Nick’s Market, Wapping Wharf and St Mark’s Road.

Islington in north London came top of the places to live if you are under 26, according to BBC analysis.
Melton in Leicestershire is at the bottom of the list, which considered variables including access to mental health care, average rent prices and levels of unemployment.
The data also looks at the number of bars, pubs, clubs and music events, as well as access to sports facilities and 4G.
While rent prices in Bristol are relatively high, it has the highest rate of inward youth migration in the UK.
“Every corner that you go to has history about it, has some sort of culture about it, and has something unique,” Sham told Newsbeat.
He added: “It’s just so mixed when it comes to culture.”
