Hotel accommodations are cheaper and modest vacation rooming. Hostels act as a social hub whereby one can meet people from all over the world. Due to hostels cheap prices, they are very popular for ones traveling on a low budget. This attracts a large number of guests from many different countries. These multicultural environments allow explorers to experience new cultures. Tourists also get to make new friends. Some form relationships that can last a lifetime while staying in hostel accommodations. Some relationships may be fleeting and only that lasts the duration of stay.
Traveling by yourself may be exciting. But it can get a little lonely at times and there is nothing like company to share your experiences with. You might head to hostel accommodation with your plans in mind already. Only to meet someone and then change your plans altogether. You may head somewhere new with someone new. Perhaps you may even drastically change which country to head to next with your newfound companion or fellow hostel backpackers.
Being spontaneous is key when traveling. Waking up every day knowing it is going to be different.
It is not any old company when in a hostel; everyone has something in common. This is because you are surrounded by people like you. Travelers with the craving for living life to the fullest. Perhaps you wish one day to go to South Korea and you meet someone in the hostel that already has. They give you tips on where to go and what to do, priceless and firsthand information. You can share stories, the crazy, the good and the bad. Every day is about learning something new. Hostels are like mini life universities.
