The year after I graduated college was almost completely spent… on the run. I strapped a backpack to my back and set out for the road with 3 pairs of pants and a dream. I scurried from country to country, solo traveling and loving it. I even worked at a hostel for a stint. It was one of the most thrilling and illuminating years of my life. It expanded my mindset in ways I could have never anticipated. Needless to say, I became one with the travel lifestyle. Not to brag, but I think I have it down pat. I can sail through airports effortlessly, easily find my way around in a new city, and look good (well, maybe a little unwashed) while doing so. Hostel culture is its own beast, and if you lean into it, it's an incredibly rewarding environment. You can meet people from all over the world, and do it cheaply. Just beware of the top bunk.
