Follow my blog with Bloglovin (Apparently I have to post somewhere that I am on Bloglovin now. So here it is.) Alright so total disclosure: I’ve been back from Australia for five years (lol, I know). But I found this list in my old drafts and it brought back great memories – and also I …
My favorite hostels around the world, plus what makes a great hostel and what places have the worst hostels.
