1. Basically. hostels provide a friendly social environment where you can meet backpackers from all over the world. But Nicole says it way better…
Youth hostels are so much fun, I’m such a cultured bitch!!

2. In hostels, you’ll meet like-minded people who share the same passions as you…
So my favourite thing about Ecuador is actually in one of the hostels we stayed in, while I was in bed every night, everyone else (30+ people from 20 different countries around the world) stayed up to chant “FUCK DONALD TRUMP” at 2 AM

3. Hostels provide cheap, nutritious delicious AND mysterious food!
One thing that kinda kicks ass about hostels are the cheap and tasty dinners they offer. Is it tapas or paella? No. Was it only 5€ and bottomless? Yes. #Barcelona pic.twitter.com/3vSCn2PHrJ

4. Hostels provide insights, ideas and experiences you wouldn’t find elsewhere…
Love seeing what people eat in hostels; guy in the corner eating 6 kiwis, someone making pancakes at almost 10 o’clock and the two guys trying really hard to make a pot noodle #hostellife

I asked this guy in my hostel how long he is going to travel for and he said “4 or 5 years, I’m evading a loan back home”

6. Hostels can enhance your creativity…
No bowls left in the hostel kitchen so I had to get creative

Things that become normal when travelling: Eating Coco Pops for dinner, out of a mixing bowl, sharing a spoon. #hostellife #travel

7. Hostels help you to become a more patient person…
There’s always that one person in a hostel dorm that has for some reason packed every single item of clothing in a separate plastic bag and proceeds to spend 99% of their time endlessly rustling….

8. You can find love in hostels. And if it doesn’t work out, move on with a positive attitude and a good sense of humour…
I fell in love with a Russian this afternoon. She’s leaving tonight. I told her to slow down she’s Russian. She didn’t get it. #HostelLife

9. Hostels will provide some of the happiest/most random memories of your life…
Happiness is the array of salad dressings on the free shelf. Just never tell me how long they’ve been there. #hostellife #backpacking
