Hello travel besties! After years of staying in hostels, I wanted to share some of my best tips for choosing the right hostel. They're not as scary (or dirty) as people think, and hostels are indeed safer than horror movies would have you believe. These are hostel tips that are great for solo travelers and even hints on things to pack for a hostel. I hope you enjoy all my hostel tips and tricks and everything I think you need to know about booking a hostel.
