I'm a travel adventurer and love travelling solo as it allows me to find some hidden gems and explore the world from a unique perspective. I love staying at hostels and it feel it is such an underrated accommodation type and can offer a wonderful experience not just for solo travelers but families travelling with kids too. I regularly post reviews on google maps so do check that out but love to connect with people and help them plan a unique travel adventure.
