Accommodation for 'real travellers.' A place where adventurous souls unite, to discuss how to avoid going back to their homelands. Hostels differ from hotels in that they cater for more fun, less pretentious peeps. The 'S' in hostel stands for sociable or sexy, which accurately describes the type of travellers who stay there.
Dull person: "I'd never stay in a hostel."
Real traveller: "You're missing out."
Dull person: "On what exactly?"
Real traveller: "The people. The vibe. The energy. The savings. The stories. The events. The friendships. The memories. The adventures." etc. etc.
