You’re probably thinking “aren’t hostels for young people?”

It makes sense.

After all, they were first called “Youth Hostels”.

But that changed a few years back;

Now, most are just called hostels and welcome old and young alike.

They are great places for budget-conscious travelers who want a safe and clean place to sleep, store and cook food, and opportunities to meet old and young travelers from around the country and the world out on life-changing adventures.

The conversations alone make a stay at a hostel worthwhile;

Can’t say you get that everywhere.
