As a result, he sprouted a place for all young people to exchange ideas and understand nature. Therefore, with the support of the government, youth hostels were born as a medium for young people from all over the world to get to know each other and get in touch with nature. As early as the turn of the century, a group of French students went hiking on holiday. They cross the countryside with food and cooking utensils, sleep in warehouses or in the open air at night, play guitar and sing folk songs. This lifestyle has aroused strong repercussions from all walks of life. Students call themselves "migratory birds" and use their own philosophy of life to become the core force of a broader youth movement. As a result, the lifestyle of youth hostels sprouted.
