What is a youth hostel like? Is it safe for college students to travel and stay in youth hostels alone?

As an inevitable choice for young people to travel in poverty, youth hostels are generally safe, but certainly not as good as single rooms.

To sum up, the rooms in youth hostels are all multi-rooms, and several big beds are more expensive. Multiple rooms will be much cheaper than single rooms, divided into boys' rooms, girls' rooms and mixed rooms.

You can pay attention to several points: whether the rooms are mixed, whether there is a separate bathroom, whether there are cabinets, whether there are windows, and whether there is access control time.

Domestic youth travel is generally divided into boys and girls, and there is generally no visit time. Some foreign regions will have access control requirements.

If you understand the above questions, you will probably know something about where you want to live, just like a student dormitory, except that roommates are strangers and come and go. You may meet people who pray in your room in the morning, people who get drunk at night, people who get up early and come home late to catch up with their trip, and of course, people who open your eyes and open the door to the new world.

The conditions of youth travel are also good or bad, and some places even have their own tradition of putting sheets and quilts. This is the attitude of the old youth brigade. Some youth brigades will provide bedding comparable to that of hotels. Because most of the youth brigades are public toilets, there will be differences in hygiene. These must be evaluated and graded at the time of booking.

Living in youth travel will encounter many things that you are completely unexpected.

In China, the host stayed in the Youth Travel Service for the first time, socialized with foreigners and went to the scenic spots together. I found that speaking English doesn't have to be "authentic" to make others understand what I mean, which inspired me to travel abroad alone.

There are several nights when I chat with others from late at night to early in the morning and listen to people from different worlds telling their stories. Playing guitar and singing on the rooftop, drinking with strangers in the bar. I even met my travel companions who will go out to play together in the future.

Speaking of safety. If you plan to live in multiple rooms, bring as few valuables as possible. Generally, the youth travel service will provide cabinets in the room, some with locks, some without locks, and some will rent locks at the front desk. You can take a small lock and lock valuables in the cupboard. China's public security is generally good, so don't worry too much. Foreign countries need to be divided into regions, and some countries will be stolen and robbed when walking in the street. It's best not to bring too many valuables for fear of missing them.
