Traveling alone, will you stay in a youth hostel or a hotel?

This is my own personal experience and cognition.

If you are a boy, ok, I think you can live anywhere, provided the environment is OK, because boys have better endurance or sense of security.

If you are a girl, hotel style is a better choice. It is more standardized and safer here, and now the security monitoring of the hotel is also perfect. The most important thing for girls to travel is safety.

Of course, if you have a boyfriend or a male friend, that's another choice.
