      Looking good guys. Keep up the energy! I can't wait to see the finished product! I may just end up pursuing my own little trek across Europe bouncing from Hostel to Hostel based on this show. So finish it up so I can watch it already! YEA!

      I used to sit in the Circus hostel in Berlin just for the free wifi even though I was staying in a squat somewhere else.

      This looks to be a very interesting show. I would love to see someplace like Revision3 pick it up after the pilot is finished.

      Very cool project. Hostels are the best way to travel to be sure...and so many good stories to be told!

      Good luck!

      p.s. if you ever get a chance, check out the "Treehouse" hostels in Olympos, Turkey. They'd make an interesting episode.
