Bunking in a hostel is one of the most cheerful experiences you will have in your life, especially if you are travelling alone. Here’s why you should opt for that backpacker’s hostel.
Become A Social Butterfly
Hostels are the best place to find that travel buddy you have been looking for. Hippie, existentialist, eccentrically glamorous, gorgeous 20-year-old solo female traveller, the dude who has been traveling for three months, the 60-year-old who was in Woodstock, and more. Yes, you can find all types of people here.
Go Dutch
Yes, sharing is caring and also means going Dutch. Especially when you travelling on a shoestring budget, this could be it.
Get A Date
Of course, you are bound to get attracted to one of the travellers you are sharing your room with.
Jam Sessions
There is always someone who plays a chichi instrument, a didgeridoo, ukulele or the clichéd guitar. Get jamming with musicians from all around the world! Make music and spread the love!
Stay For Free
Yes, this is possible. Get an offbeat job at the hostel where you only have to work a few hours in a day, and you can have the rest of the day to yourself to explore the town or the city you are in. Wash dishes, clean the rooms or become the evening DJ, and couch at the hostel for free!
Wherever you stay, just make sure to have loads of fun… because that is what counts in the end.
