Have boundaries

People who work in hostels are normally very outgoing and friendly, and sometimes they actually live at the hostel and are backpackers themselves. Make sure you don’t bother them with work-related questions when they are not working, taking their break, or if you run into them elsewhere. They will appreciate it.

Be pleasant

They will be there, working, when you check-in, when you get up in the morning, and when you come back after having a few drinks. Don’t forget to say hello, ask how they’re doing, and be generally pleasant.

Don’t forget to invite

Are you going out right at the end of a shift? If the hostel worker seems nice, invite them to join your group for a drink. Setting up a game at the hostel? See if they want to join. The staff usually loves to be counted for fun activities they don’t need to organize.

The Staff

The biggest benefit of staying at a backpackers’ hostel is the staff. These are people who know the city better than everyone; they are there to offer tips on how to enjoy the city on a budget, give vouchers for tours and bars, and direct you to the tourist activities you’re most interested in.

Be friendly with the hostel staff and your city stay will be a 5-star experience, even in a shared dormitory.

Walk Around With a Crowd

While staying alone gives you privacy, it may get lonely. Most hostels have common areas where you can meet other travelers. This normally ends up in a group of like-minded people having a great time together.

Make International Friends

How would you like to stay with friends whenever you travel? Hostel buddies often keep in touch and visit each other years later.
