Is it really possible to make interesting friends and travel with a hostel?

This one is really possible! Because I've experienced it myself, and we're still in touch! I always felt that it was a miracle that we could meet in the dark, and it was our fate.

That time I went to the Northeast to play, the distance was far away, the budget was relatively high, and it coincided with the Chinese New Year, so I couldn't find anyone to accompany me, but I just wanted to go, and finally insisted on sponsoring my sister to pull her to accompany me on the journey. But the two little girls went to the Northeast to say that they were really a little scared, and we took the train for more than 30 hours to go, and we chatted with the people on the train along the way.

I like to live in hostels, I like the atmosphere of hostels, I like a group of young people, regardless of familiarity and strangeness, they can talk and talk freely. I like the decoration style of the hostel, I like the design concept of the hostel, in fact, my favorite is the ** of the hostel! It's definitely in line with people like me who don't have a high income, but want to go out and surf.

I also gave priority to the hostel on this trip to the Northeast, and the main purpose was to go to the snow country with me after thinking of it. It is still a long distance from Harbin to check the information and go to the snow town, mainly there is still a den of bandits. As soon as I saw these introductions, I was still a little scared, and the fierceness of the Northeast people has always been a deep-rooted impression of me, and I have always had a little fear of the Northeast people.

In Harbin, we booked the Harbin Hash International Youth Hostel, and arranged a relaxed itinerary, went to the Songhua River for a walk, and then went to the Russian town to play, and did not go to Yabuli if I didn't know how to ski. Youth hostels all over the country are the same, so I will meet like-minded friends, and sure enough, on the first night of staying, I met the extremely kind Sister Xiaofei. They also came to the Northeast to play together, and they are also from Guangdong like us.

It's really a fellow who sees a fellow with tears in his eyes, and it's a big bear hug right away! If you ask about the itinerary, they are almost the same, they arrived a day earlier than us, and there are snow towns on the itinerary, and they hit it off to go to the snow country together to see the legendary place with the most special snow.

Xiaofei's sister and his male best friend originally wanted to avoid relatives urging them to marry during the Chinese New Year, so they simply plotted to escape. had to admire her IQ and fled to the northernmost tip of China, where her "annoying" mother and the three aunts and six mothers-in-law who "the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch are in a hurry" can't help her.

I have always felt that whether it is a hostel or the kind of people who travel together on the hornet's nest network, there will be some people who really love traveling, there is nothing bad about it, I will choose to trust them unconditionally! It's like a friend to them, and I'm not just traveling with people in the hostel, but I'm still in touch with a lot of people, and I'm going to play together when I have a favorite place!

Let's start with the point of view, I think of course you can make friends who are like-minded and then travel together, because making friends depends on luck, in case you are lucky enough to meet like-minded friends, then you may travel together, although I haven't encountered it yet, but I don't deny the existence of this kind of thing.

Of course, it may also be because I have lived in a hostel a relatively small number of times, to be honest, I have only stayed in a hostel twice, I just wanted to live in a hostel because I read some articles written on the Internet, those articles say that I lived in a hostel and then made like-minded friends, but we must know that they generally have this kind of experience people have lived in hostels many times, if you ask them how many times they have met like-minded friends, or how many times they have not met many times, they will definitely tell you that most of the time they will not meet.

Because this kind of meeting like-minded friends, and then traveling together, is really not so easy to happen, unlike going to live in a hotel, going to that city can live in a hotel, just find a hotel to live in, these are inevitable events, as long as you do it, you can do it. And finding interesting friends, but also like-minded, and then travel together, this thing requires a certain probability, not a certain happening, just like I have stayed in two hostels and have not met such interesting friends.

The two hostels I stayed in were in Nanjing, and the other was in Xi'an, the reason why I chose to live in a hostel, one was to save money, and the other was to verify the kind of like-minded friends I saw on the Internet, but unfortunately, I didn't meet like-minded friends, they didn't come back when I went back to the dormitory, they didn't get up when I got up, and they didn't have the opportunity to make friends at all, and then the second time I said a few words to each other, but I always felt that the words were not speculative for more than half a sentence, And after a few words, we started to do our own things.

To put it bluntly, going to live in a hostel is just a way to travel, if money allows, most people will still choose to live in a hotel, after all, it will be more convenient to live alone, and you can also take a bath in the hotel, and the hostel wants several people to live together, first of all, some people will not be used to it, and some people have no sense of security, afraid of being stolen, because the environment of the hostel is not as good as living in a hotel, so when the economy is enough, people will still choose to live in a hotel. , because the guesthouse is comfortable and safe.

Of course, if you can meet like-minded friends who can travel together, then this experience is of course beautiful, but the probability of this thing happening is not very large, if you want, you can often stay in the hostel to try, I don't want to, so I only stayed in the hostel twice.

When it comes to making friends, I feel like my friends and I are quite lucky to have met interesting people in hostels. Whether you can really make interesting friends depends on everyone's personality and opportunities, if you are good at communication, you should also take the initiative to invite people with the same destination, if you don't like to talk to strangers very much, it is estimated that you will be a little more subtle, and may not be able to send an invitation.

When I went to play with my friends, I was exhausted from shopping during the day, and every time I saw the bed, I just wanted to lie down and rest, I didn't want to talk or move, so I rarely communicated with strangers, and besides, we went out with our companions, so I didn't think about inviting anyone to play with. It was quite magical, a few people seemed to hear us ask the proprietress about the nearby snack street and night view, maybe they heard the introduction, so they invited us through the proprietress to join us, and then they knew that they were also students and went together.

Maybe it's because I'm a student, so I don't have a lot of topic exchanges, and it's quite fun. After a lot of communication, I happily decided to travel together the next day, and we were able to meet classmates and fellow villagers in the same area in a strange city, which was quite magical. They helped us a lot, after all, it was not as easy for girls to go out and play as they thought.

For example, every time we get lost, we have to go back to the same place and then follow the route, which is super invincible and funny, but with them, we didn't miss the route at all, and we all arrived safely.

In fact, strangers who decide to travel together should also have a vigilant heart and use some methods to determine whether the other party's situation is really as they say. For example, we all got student IDs at that time. There may also be some people who will follow their own feelings, and if they like it, they can be together, so bold, after all, sometimes it feels like this thing can't be said.

Xingxin pity.

These problems may occur in youth hostels, such as roommates are more noisy, come back late, get up early, etc., because there is no guarantee that everyone will think about others, but there are very few people who steal, and generally there are more young people who go out to play, and few people will do this kind of thing. But your valuables still have to be carried or stored, this is common sense, no matter where you live, it's the same.

Therefore, living in a hostel requires a tolerant heart and a heart for the sake of others, the advantage of staying in a hostel is that it is cheap and can save a lot; The second is that you can communicate more with everyone, and generally those who live in the hostel are more like to travel or posture, which is much more interesting than a person in a hotel room.

If you haven't stayed before, you might as well give it a try and you might like it.

1. Cheap.

There are certain differences in prices according to different cities, generally ranging from 20 to 50 yuan, which is very suitable for students to travel on a budget.

2. The location is generally convenient.

Although not all of them are in excellent locations, but for the sake of price, hotel rooms of the same price range must be several rings away. And the people who come to stay in the hostel are traveling to play, not to mention that they come to other places for meetings, offices, and relatives, so the front desk is generally rich in information about local tourism, food, and routes.

3. Fully meet the needs of Xiao Wenqing.

If you don't have high requirements for room conditions, it is recommended to stay in a youth hostel.

When I went out to travel, I lived, four people in a room, but there were only two people in our room, and after a few days, one came and became three people... The one I live in is a mixed house, unless you are a couple, and you will arrange it for you if you ask to live together (Mu has seen it with your own eyes, but the boss has mentioned it) and many youth hostels have their own personalities and characteristics. What a quadrangle-style, archetypal, literary type...

At that time, I was traveling to Beijing, and I wanted to live in a youth hostel with a courtyard, but because it was the peak tourist season, people had already filled up... Later, I found a little famous, and the conditions were poor, and I actually picked up the treasure and met a super hospitable boss. The young man who registered at the front desk was a former resident, and he belonged to the kind of person who quit his job to travel for a month or two after working for a period of time to save some money, and then look for a new job. . .

At that time, I had just returned from a trip to Xinjiang, and I was helping out in that youth hostel while looking for a job at Xinjiqiao... I was shocked by his life) <>

In fact, it is a bit similar to a student dormitory. I can meet a lot of people from all over the world, and youth hostels generally have public areas, and many people often gather there to chat, which is very happy! The owner of the place where I live is very nice, and he brought us dumplings from his own house to eat at night, and took us out to the night market.

Well, everyone else around is also quite welcoming, especially Hi Pete's unforgettable experience.

However, if the requirements for the room are relatively high, forget it, the general conditions of the youth hostel are not too good (dozens of dollars a night, how good can it be?). ), which is basically the same as the conditions of a university dormitory. There are two-person rooms, four-person rooms, six-person rooms or even eight-person rooms, ** are different, according to your own requirements.

Bathrooms are public, clean or not depends on the hostel itself, I live there is not very clean, but it's OK, acceptable.

Overall, it's good value for money and affordable, but not for people who are more demanding about the hygiene of the accommodation.

Generally, hostels are in the middle of the scenic area or a place where it is very convenient to go to the scenic area, and most of them are very distinctive. I used to go out and often like to go to the hostel, the most impressive Ji Xiankai is in the hostel in Edinburgh, the scenery is very good, I went with three friends to charter a small room on the top floor, the window is the scenery of the whole city, the castle is just across the street, and there are various sofas and books for public rest, it feels good and super cheap. <>

I have only been to one of the Chinese youth hostels in Dunhuang, it is very beautiful, at the foot of the scenic mountain, there are large courtyards and various fruit trees and sheep, there are hammocks in the huge courtyard to lie down casually, in the autumn afternoon, lie under the trees to bask in the sun and read books, one side is the desert and the other is the oasis, it is very beautiful. If you don't want to share with people, you can also rent a room by yourself, more than 300 a night ms, in the antique courtyard, the room is a huge kang (I'm a southerner, I've never seen it...). It feels super novel), and the retro coal fighting oil lamp, at night I feel like I have traveled directly back to the Tang Dynasty, and I don't even have a TV, so we chatted :

d In general, various recommendations.

When I go out, of course, it is mainly safety, whether it is a hostel or a hotel, as long as its security is good, I can choose to live in, but in general, I still choose to live in a hotel.

I haven't stayed in a hostel, but I've heard from a friend about it. Hostels generally live several people in one room, and the toilets and bathrooms are public, not in their own rooms, and because they are very cheap, basically all the students who stay are college students. My friend also said that the hostel is also good in terms of security.

However, as far as I was concerned, I didn't really want to go to a hostel as soon as I heard that it was a mixed house and that it only had public baths and toilets.

In my opinion, the first thing is to live together, living with a large group of people I don't know, and I don't know anything about each other's situation, and I don't dare to sleep in such a situation. Secondly, the toilet and bathroom are both public and not in the room, so I think it is difficult to ensure safety. Asking me to run outside to take a shower, and to run out of my room in the middle of the night if I wanted to go to the bathroom, seemed to me very unsafe, because I was not sure if anything dangerous would happen during such a period of time.

So, if I were to stay in a hostel, I would only be able to stay in the same room with someone I know and no other strangers, and have a separate bathroom and toilet.

The hotel is different, it has perfect protection measures, and there are more single and double rooms, you can book a room according to your own situation, and the most important thing is that it has a separate toilet and bathroom, so you don't have to run outside, which is very important in my opinion.
