So ultimately I think it would be awesome to own my own hostel. i definately think it would be alot of fun and something that i could do well at. there are lots of places that i could see myself opening one up.

the truth however, is that ive never worked at a hostel. ive stayed at alot which is important but u never really know all the behind the scene stuff just by staying at a hostel. i was wondering who out there has worked at a hostel? what was the experience like? how did the hostel pay you and was it in general a good or bad experience?

i'm considering taking the next year and traveling and working at some different hostels to see how it goes for me. i'm not totally sure how it will work since i'm a u.s. citizen and while i'd be willing to work at u.s. hostels i'd also like to get the experience of working in a hostel abroad.


does anyone else out there have the dream of opening up their own hostel? has anyone actually done or tried to do it?

i'm just looking for any info possible.

thank alot.
