Strangers don't have to be scary part THREE of my solo travel adventures that only happened because I met strangers at a hostel 🥹 Of course, I will never promise you won't have a bad or weird hostel experience, you never know what type of people you will get. But I WILL promise if you put yourself out there you will meet friends during your backpacking trip that make you feel like you've known them forever 🫶🏼 MORE QUICK HOSTEL TIPS ⬇️ - Bring earbuds and a sleeping mask if you're a light sleeper, as people will come back in at different hours of the night. - Get to know the hostel owner. Hostel owners in tend to know each other, so they can give you good tips on hostel choices in your next destination! - Respect others: Remember that you're sharing a space with other travelers.
