   I arrived in Miami last Tuesday, South Beach to be exact. I'm staying at Miami Beach International Hostel. I’d heard a lot of about this hostel in Miami. Two of my colleagues had stayed here and told me it was a great hostel. I was also told I’d remember the guys who run it, Jonathan and Barbara, from our hostel conference a couple of years ago.
