In a segway to next weeks postings, I am here to give a brief introduction about Youth Hostels and why I feel they are the best places to stay while you are traveling.
When it comes to cheap accommodations while traveling, nothing is cheaper than youth hostels. Youth hostels are hotels targeted towards young people who are traveling around an area. When you stay at a hostel, most times you will be staying in a "dorm" or a large room with many bunk beds. Some hostels have you crammed in like a can of sardines, while others have private and semi-private rooms. Hostels are cheap, common, and allow you to meet other travelers who you can make connections with and go exploring with.
When many people think of hostels they think of sketchy and grimy places where you will most likely be robbed or mugged. While I cannot say that does not happen, it is not the norm. Please check back next week as I give a more in depth look at hostels and give you reasons as to why you should stay at one at some point in your life.
