In the life of a young adult, hostel life plays a very important role in building up experience for tackling real problems. Hostel life is the phase where an individual learns how to become self-dependent where they face several problems like financial instability, emotional breakdowns, and many more. Things that a hostel life teaches us will always be by our side till the end of the corporate race. But this is not about the nostalgia of any engineering or medical institutes where you have to struggle with messy foods. It is about creating memories with new people while travelling.
The concept of tourist hostels was very old but very few people are used to considering them as an option for accommodation while travelling. But with the increasing popularity of social media, hostel brands have started gaining more attention than hotels. Solo travelers, group travelers, and even students who are travelling for short-term educational purposes now prefer hostels. If you are a regular follower of the travel industry you must have some ideas about the hostel brands like goStop, Zostel, Backpackers, and Hostellers. These are the top hostel brands in India and offer an affordable stay with some mind-blowing experiences. Will not talk about the affordability part in this blog and let’s focus on the mind-blowing experiences. The number of new people you are going to meet in a hostel depends on the duration of your stay. If you have just begun your solo travelling journey you are recommended to spend not less than four days in a particular destination or else managing the plan will become difficult. In that case, you will be able to meet new people every day. You can see mainly three types of people in a hostel, firstly who travel, secondly the remote employees, and thirdly the people who come to sleep. Mostly you can see the remote employees who spend most of their time in front of their laptops and they might feel disturbed when you are on your bed lights in the morning. The people who just sleep will not care about any kind of disturbance because they have the whole day to rest. Those who are travelers will actively crack conversation with you and will also make plans. If you are travelling solo, it will be a great idea to make a hostel friend and spend your day as the cost will be shared and both will be benefited. But in the evening the scene is something different, you will be able to meet those people who stay behind their bed curtains the whole day and the people who are chilling after an eight hour shift. If you give priority to enjoying real-life moments rather than analyzing the social media story views you posted the whole day, you will find the real essence of hostel life. You can see people doing jamming sessions together, dancing, and playing some games. They don’t even know each other very well but for a few moments, they enjoy themselves like a family.
If you get a chance someday while staying in a hostel, try to sit on the terrace holding a beer can and converse with two other travelers like you who are from different states, and different cities, and have different stories.
