Nobody talks about this part of solo travel...
You spend hours worrying about:
❌ “What if I don’t make friends?”
❌ “What if everyone already knows each other?”
❌ “What if it’s awkward?”
Then someone asks:
“Where are you from?”
And somehow 3 days later you’re on a boat trip, sharing beers at sunset, and making plans to visit each other’s countries. 🌎
Hostel friendships are weird.
You meet strangers on Monday.
Share your life story on Tuesday.
And cry when they leave on Friday.
Tag that random hostel friend who became family. ❤️
