Check out Villahostels in a brief history of backpacker hostels through the eyes of those who made them famous. ❤️

From the aftermath of war and a continent in need of reconstruction, to today’s hyper-connected lives where phones are an extension of who we are, these spaces have helped shape the world as we know it.

🌊 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗢𝗰𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲
📍 Nice, France | 🗓️ 9–13 June

The UN Ocean Conference in Nice has officially begun, with a drone display over the bay of Nice 🌍💙

Over 10,000 participants — including world leaders, scientists, youth, and activists — are gathering in France for the largest ocean conference ever held.

🌐 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹?
To accelerate global action to protect 30% of the world’s oceans by 2030 — and to turn the tide on climate and marine biodiversity loss.

🇫🇷 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗲?
Perched on the Mediterranean coast, Nice lies at the frontline of climate impacts. From rising sea levels to declining marine life, this city is a symbol of both the ocean’s fragility and our power to act. France’s legacy in climate leadership makes it a natural host for this crucial moment.

🎬 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵: 𝗢𝗰𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝘆 𝗦𝗶𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗱 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵
At 99 years old, the legendary naturalist calls this his most important documentary yet — a powerful call to action for our blue planet. The film gives the context to the themes around the conference, and Attenborough's hope that the ocean can be protected at this historic event.
