I always dreamy of visiting Paris but couldn’t due to financial issues and work commitments. But I recently took a break from my work and am planning to utilize it in the best way possible by visiting Paris. I already applied for a France Schengen Visa and I am pretty sure I’ll get it in a few days. Meanwhile, I’ll go through your blog to finalize a Backpacker Hostel as it will make my French getaway even more affordable. I’ll also look for local restaurants that serve authentic food so that I can have a great time in France.
Definitely on the pricier-side for hostels. However, these are really sharp! I would much rather stay at a hostel than at a regular hotel, even if the prices are the same. It’s always more fun to meet other people who are on the same wavelength as myself 🙂
Agree with your Brock! The people you meet in hostels are all worth it! I think these hostels are for more flashpacker kind of traveler! HA! But these are all the top reviewed hostels online! =)
Where are you traveling now?
Flashpacker lol.
Unfortunately, I’m not. I am new to this the travel/backpacker blog-sphere. I am in the midst of rearranging my lifestyle to break free and document the process. I have to shut down a few things, first. Takes time. But, it wont be too long and I’ll hit the dusty trail 😛
