I'm an Introvert and like to keep to myself so what's your honest thoughts on sleeping with strangers in the same room? Would you recommend it for an Introvert? I can talk but I don't like to initiate much.

@@HonorGuard117 I found it to be good for my introvert tendencies while traveling, because if I stayed somewhere alone, I think I could accidentally end up not talking to anyone at all for days. lol There is often a good mix of people in a room who are chatty and those who are quiet-so I think there can be some nice balance there. Where I've stayed, people understood that when you go lay down, that means you are done socializing for the time being. : )

@@nauticaltwist9088 I'm going to be staying in a hostel in LA but I have some social anxiety and feeling like I won't fit in or being awkward. I don't want to talk too much either but afraid I'll be looked at funny. Is it ok to keep to myself???

@@HonorGuard117 I think I understand. I get social anxiety too. But whether we are introverted or extroverted, we all have some concern about fitting in or not, so maybe many are looking at each other funny because we worry about that lol. Personally, I think it's perfectly okay to keep to myself a lot of the time; however, I often remind myself to not allow fears to limit potential connections.

update! just to get a taste, I spent 2 nights at a hostel last week and it was great. It was wayyy out of my comfort zone but I couldn't be more thankful that I did it. Even tho I'm introverted af, I always ended up talking to a bunch of people and had great conversations and overall a good experience. I feel so much more confident to go out and do stuff on my own now!

Lets go to Barcelona 😁

@@jojox1904 i'm so happy to hear that!! thank you for sharing your experience :) i'm very introverted as well but hearing that has really motivated me

@@SuperPancake20 I 100% recommend it. Even if you just book a hostel for 2 nights in a city not far from your hometown just to get a taste, so you don't even have a lot to lose EVEN in case it happens to be aweful (which it probably won't) 😂 I had a great experience and it really made me wanna go solo travel and stay in hostels again, so yup I highly recommend 😌

I'm exactly the same! I'm currently planning a week in June for Barcelona and I'm thinking about staying at a hostel. With it being my first international/first solo trip, and with my crippling social anxiety I'm really nervous, but I really want to grow and get out of my comfort zone this year. I hope things go well for you as you travel and branch out as well!

Couldn’t have said it any better

Lol I get ya

@Sonny Boone >.>

@Leonidas Easton

I’d suggest not doing that, people could be allergic to things in the spray and not like the smell. That would be inconsiderate if it stinks up the room

@Dee R yeah I know a few people allergic to coconut, I just think you should accept that risk if you are staying in hostels. It’s an unspoken rule to not spray things

I do my first hostel in 2 days

@@chrisbowyer7525 how was it

@@teodorapirvu284 hey! It didn’t happen. I canceled my trip to Porto due to the weather. 😐

Ahh glad to hear you had a great time 😊😁😁

My pleasure 🙏🏽

Ohh that’s amazing!! So proud of you for making this decision!!!! If I can help you in any way just send me a message or email!! And you will love it after the 2nd day 😊😁🙏🏽

The last hostel I went to in Croatia, I was in a room with women over the age of 50. Many older people are now choosing hostels

Yes i have the same question myself. I'm 63 and intend to try using hostels In London. I think personally it should be fine. I have no problem around younger people. I too would much in and be friendly.

I think it's really dependent on your personality! I've been traveling for while and met everyone from teenagers on their first trips, to retired mothers coming out to go to a convention. My experience with hostels is small, but I've been socializing with strangers on vacation for years since I solo travel. If the vibe is right, you'll do well with any age group. From personal experience, young women are often on guard when it comes to strange men, so take that into consideration if they keep you at a distance. Especially if they are solo traveling. Also, and someone can correct me on this if they want, but I have heard that some people find the friendliness of Americans surprising and unusual so I wouldn't take it too hard if people were hesitant to match you on your level.

I have seen 60 year olds in hostels yeh. I am 49 and like hostels as it's dirt cheap and you always meet people. Just enter into it with a positive attitude and you will be fine.

Hopefully again soon one day 🙏🏽

Never do multiple! I put mine on vibration on my fitness bracelet.

Almost every bed is too short for me!! Hahaha

You should make a blog with a title - life above two meters Haha

@@TheZhozephine Haha! Awesome blog title idea!!

Thank you!!! 😊🙏🏽

Some guys have all the luck

Stab them in their sleep

@@vegetalover1009 ........ you are joking right .......... you are funny ....

I always make some noise to wake them up and then I go back to sleep. With my job we always had 6 bunk beds that were full of workmates.

Ahh I can understand that, depending on where you are and if they have lockers or not, that might be a great idea 🙏🏽

And they can live right next door to you for years and you'd never know.

Hi, thanks for let me know. I have no idea back then! And to be honest, I still don’t know

I usually put it under/ in my pillow, in my little bag on the bed with me, or in my shoe 🙏🏽

thanks so much for the reply and tips keep up the good work @@LukeLifeCharms

In airbnb you can book a room alone, a whole flat alone, a boat alone, a mansion alone and so on.

Ah thank you. And I put it in the locker inside a book or a little bag. 🙏🏽

Yesss 🔥🔥

However long you need to🙂

It varies, so give you like 12 max
