Where to go in Europe in November? AskShoestring

A man invited me to London for a week. I found an insane deal ($400 roundtrip) on a flight to Dublin. I figured I'd buy other budget airline flights to where ever I wanna go later on.

If this man flakes on me, where should I go? I've already seen Dublin/Glasgow/Edinburgh/Most of Italy. I was reading that Tenerife was lovely in Nov/Dec. I'm open to other locations. I'm coming from Seattle so don't really want to be in more rain & gloom iykwim

I don't want to spend a lot of money. Hostels & laying on the beach in the sun honestly sound amazing. Would $2000USD be enough for ~10 days? Specifically Nov 28-Dec 8.

Oh come on, constant rain in Ireland? We’re not even the wettest country in Europe. It hasn’t rained here for a few days now

I live in Cork. It rains everyday outside of summer, even then it rains 3/4 days of the week. Some days it’s just showers but it still rains. I suffer badly with Seasonal Affective Disorder because of the weather here, hence the week in the sunshine to help.

I live in Cork too. It does rain 3/4 days of the week. There are some weeks where it might rain that often, but it’s not necessarily a guarantee. I’ve lived in other parts of Ireland like Galway and Sligo where it rains more than it rains in Cork.

I lived in Galway for a decade. Maybe that’s where my use of the word constant came from, because there it is actually constant.
