Craig talks about six different hostel booking sites, doing a full review of five of them: gomio, HI hostels, hostelz, hostelworld and hostelbookers. He looks at booking features, hostel listings and other services provided by the sites.
In this episode of the Indie Travel Podcast, Craig and Linda Martin share ten things to look for when choosing a hostel from a hostel-booking site. In brief: price, rating, atmosphere, location, affiliation, dorm size and gender, extras, facilities and exclusions.
In this edition of the Indie Travel Podcast, Craig and Linda talk about being a guest - an important part of world travel. If you manage to do a RTW trip without staying in someone’s house, something is very wrong; experience the people as well as the places! In this show we talk about approaching friends and acquaintances to ask if you can stay with them; preparing to get there; arriving (both expectedly and unexpectedly!); courtesy and helping in the home; leaving gifts; and following up after you’ve left.
After a weekend in Venice, Craig and Linda pass on some of the not-so-nice experiences and how to avoid them. Our rules to help avoid being ripped off in heavily touristed areas, like Venice.
