Hostels have played a very important role in the traveling world for a very long time. In spite of the fact that we have more options such as Airbnb, Bread and Breakfasts, and Couchsurfing, if you want to solo travel you cannot skip hostels. Especially if you want to travel for long hostels are a must. They are far more than just a place to sleep and party. They will add many things to your journey in ways you cannot imagine.
