88: Ticket 2 | You Booked a Hostel for the First Time - NOW WHAT?

Have you always wanted to try a hostel, but didn't know what to expect? Do you want to meet others while traveling across the globe? Are you a budget backpacker looking for ways to keep saving money?

This episode is your one-stop shop to perfecting the art of staying in hostels... and no, it does not happen overnight, it may not even happen in 1 year. Hostels are not what they were 20, 25, 30 years ago. These days they are more like boutique hotels that can bunk 8 or 12 people at one large room at a time!

So many perks of hostels can now include free breakfast, curtains/lockers/personal lights in each bunks, pools and spas, tours and activities, bars/gyms/restaurants on-site, coworking spaces, yoga and biking classes, movie theaters, laundry rooms, and even cafes on the ground floor! We also cover a bit of hostel culture in the USA and how it's growing and accommodating the new working traveler.

If you find this episode helpful, share it with someone who wants to try a hostel for their first time!
