 Youth Hostels are usually a popular selection amongst students traveling on their gap year as it's generally the cheapest accommodation on offer.
Youth Hostels
Staying in a youth hostel is an excellent way to meet other travelers. Frequently they can offer you advice on things to see and places to go which you may not find out through books and brochures. Youth hostels also tend to have more of a party atmosphere and often have organized entertainment or nights out. There you can find friends and enjoy your stay. If you are traveling alone, you could also meet a travel companion to continue your gap year travels with and experience the country you are visiting together.
