It’s a love or hate relationship with hostels, it’s never in-between. I personally love hostels and for the last 10 ++ years I have stayed in more hostels than hotels. Research shows that though millennials may not have as much money as other travelers, they do spend more of their disposable income and stay on
Brussels the capital of Flanders, Belgium and Europe Union, is easily accessible from France, Germany, Luxembourg and Netherlands. After having had a fun weekend in Strasbourg, I opted to make a stop in Belgium and it turned out to be a great idea. Brussels started life as a fortress, then developed into a market square
Flooded Patio at Lantana Boutique Hotel, Hoi An Hoi An is one of the most dreamy quaint towns that most travelers who have traveled in South East Asia immediately fall in love with.
