Hostels provide budget oriented, sociable accommodation where guests can rent a bed, sometimes a bunk bed, in a dormitory and share a bathroom, lounge and sometimes a kitchen. Rooms can be mixed or single-sex, although private rooms may also be available. Hostels are generally cheaper for both the operator and the occupants; many hostels have long-term residents whom they employ as desk clerks or housekeeping staff in exchange for free accommodation.
In a few countries, such as the UK, Ireland, India, and Australia, the word hostel sometimes also refers to establishments providing longer-term accommodation (often to specific classes of clientèle such as nurses, students, drug addicts, court defendants on bail) where the hostels are sometimes run by Housing Associations and charities. In the rest of the world, the word hostel refers only to properties offering accommodation to travellers or backpackers.
Within the 'traveller' category, another distinction can be drawn between hostels which are members of Hostelling International (HI), a UK-based, non-profit organization encouraging outdoor activities and cultural exchange for the young (formerly the IYHA), and independently operated hostels. Hostels for travellers are sometimes called backpackers' hostels, particularly in Australia and New Zealand (often abbreviated to just "backpackers").
Europe, To Love Travel, Move To Family Hotel, Hang Out, Leave When I Want
This type of travel is impossible in Europe now, because there is a shortage of rooms, overpriced, a bad value for the money, and the reservation systems force you to leave. Travel is now is never the days of Frommer's, Europe on 5 and 10 dollars a day: Arthur Frommer.

What Makes You Angry Is Your Master
The electricity went off, there are these micro bugs fluttering up against the light of my computer screen. There are rooster crowing, large truck noises, I am in a new country, a new culture, this is the real world.
