This was an excellent video!
I consider myself to be an introvert and so I need hostels for their ability to force me to get out of my comfort zone. I like to meet new people, but initiating things is not very comfortable for me, so I like that in hostels many people will reach out and say hello, and it encourages me to get out of my shell. No doubt there is awkwardness at first, but the stories and interactions were worth it.
I've met some super interesting people in hostels.
And it can actually have a nice community-like feeling, depending on who is in the hostel and the time of day.

I appreciate you making this video as a Black person traveling the world. You didn’t speak to what it’s like for us specifically but I was more inclined to watch because of our shared background.

As an autistic person this triggers the shit out of me. Just having to sleep in a room with strangers that could kill me or even worse have a motor mouth who has an addiction to talking. Then the risk of having my shit stolen by for the crime of charging my phone. Yeah prefer a hotel more.

Going to be travelling alone for the first time and I booked a hostel.. I’m excited and nervous about it.. but this video gives me a peace of mind.

This motivated me so much! For this year I have planned to finally get rid of my social anxiety and travel on my own. I was still kinda nervous and not 100% sure I was actually gonna do it but this reassured me that I definitely HAVE to go out there on my own this summer :D

2:40 This is the primary reason why I've been apprehensive about staying in hostels. I'm a very paranoid person so it's nice to see that security is at least accounted for (obviously you would expect it to be that way, but anxiety is a rather irrational affliction).

I'm terrified of bed bugs. I'm staying in my first hostel in Berlin in a few weeks. I'm low key terrified. I made a anti bed bug spray mixed with water, peppermint oil, lavender oil and eucalyptus oil. I'm going to spray my bed and myself every night LOL

Agreed! That's been my experience with hostels as well. Honestly, pods with curtains and a pull out luggage storage is the gold standard for hostel rooms. If all hostels did that, the industry would definitely become more popular.

I'm not a solo traveler but I had a chat with my bestfriend over this past summer, and he said I would have a great time going solo. I have thought about it a lot, and finding this video really got me excited to plan something and stay in a hostel! Thanks for the tips and the info! Cheers!

Thank you for this video, I stumbled across it when I was looking for her a place to stay in San Antonio Texas, it's an unexpected travel and finances are really tight at the moment. I believe this is God way of saying" it will be alright, I am here". Thank you and God bless

Hey Luke because of you recommendation I'm staying at St, Christopher's in Barcelona. I tried to make a reservation for Paris in December unfortunately. I was sold out. As a solo traveler I tend to mix my accommodations which may sound crazy.. Hostel one city, hotel the next. As for this year in December Paris will be my first time..it's hotel for a few day and then hostel ..As usual Awesome tips.. and one more thing I've learned about hostels. Bring a power strip with multiple outlet and everyone will be your friend...lol

i loved your energy. I will do my first solo trip next year! That helped me a lot !

[MyLifeThai]

I've never stayed in a hostel, but I've seen the movie hostel. lol

[zedzed]

Great perspectives, and some solid tips! Messing up the bed is a definite hostel-hack :)

[thinkingoutloud]

Loved this! Good tips. Planning to stay in a hostel in Hawaii, hoping it is filled with people like YOU! Thanks!

[warrenf]

Thank you for your insights! My wife and I were thinking about using a hostel when we can travel again. It may not be for us, but I think it's worth a try!

First black man I have seen in hostel videos ! I just stayed at one in south beach Miami it was amazing

[mofimo]

My problem is I can't sleep when there's a bit sound. I've tried once to stay in hostle and I couldn't sleep all night. Actually it's a nice place cause we could interact with others and mostly of them are so friendly and interractive.

[AgnieszkaMPVlog]

This hostel looks very clean and safe! I admit that I rarely sleep in hostels, because I like to be alone... it's easier to relax... But I see that you have some privacy here, so it looks fine to me 😊🙌

Staying in a hostel for the first time starting tomorrow, thank you for the helpful and encouraging video!
