Slowtravel through vibrant big Cities of the World

Hello beautiful people, better said hey GIRLS.
I am planning to slow travel for quite a time:)! I have already seen many places on this planet, but most of them were more exotic once, backpacking style. I have been to most countries in South-East Asia, Central and South America, also lived (Germany, Barcelona) and travelled in Europe. Now I would love to explore big exiting vibrant cities of the WORLD, maybe as well find a new gorgeous place to live.
With this post I intent to find lifeloving, not too complicated welltravelled GIRLS (sorry guys, nothing against you, but I would love to have girl talks, go to fashion shows, exhibitions, find girlfriends for life), who would love to go on this trip (part of the trip) with me. Also if u live in the city I am going to visit and are open to hang out, share stories and laughters, please dont hesitate to reach out to me:)
It cannot be fancy boutique hotels (would love to, but is out of my budget and probably not authentic enough for my taste), but also cannot be couchsurfing or hostels. As I am planning to slow travel, renting cute flats would be probably the best option.
Nothing is booked, so dates and actually also places are flexible, as traveling itself somehow always show u the way:);)
But approximate plan looks like this:
London Protected content
Paris 29 August- 9 September
New York 10 Sep-10 Oct
Montreal 10 Oct Protected content
Mexico City 25 Oct Protected content
Cape town 10Nov- 30Nov
Sidney 1Dec-31Dec
Melbourne 1Jan- 30Jan
Singapore 1Feb-15Feb
Hong Kong 15 Feb-28 Feb
Taipei 1Mar-15Mar
Shanghai 15 Mar-31Mar
Seoul 1Apr-15 Apr
Tokyo 15Apr-15 May

Looking forward to ur direct messages!
Thank u ALL in advance!
P.S. I would love to have some insider tips as well on what to see, try, what to avoid to make my stay more authentic, less touristy, maybe some special events happening while I am visiting.
