Update

Stef and I shared this single bed for 7 nights in London. It was pretty cozy and surprisingly comfortable.

This is our host  Zev and his awesome art.

This was dinner on our first night and yes, it was delicious. 

In Berlin, I did the whole stay-in-a-hostel-be-a-tourist thing. It was heaps of fun. 

However, I think you get so much more out of traveling if you are lucky enough to have friends already living in the city. You get to really experience what life is like in that particular corner of the world. It's so much more cozier than staying at a hostel.

In London, Zev was absolutely amazing and set us up with a map, directions and favorite places to visit. He pointed us to the nearest grocery store (Tesco!), let us use his kitchen and fridge, and left us his keys when we needed it.

Now, I'm in Dublin. Stef and I are staying with Kristine - a good high school friend of mine. She's been studying here for 3 years already. She has the cutest little apartment right near the center. More on that later...

Tomorrow, we're heading out of Dublin to explore Howth - a picturesque coastal line.
