Something I would never do, but would like to here some stories

Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
Anyone ever stayed in a hostel?

Me and a buddy went to the movies and a projector broke. So we went in to the movie Hostel.
I'll never forget them cutting off the toes and fingers. That shit was messed up.
No, since I've never had the urge to bang some dirty hippie chick.

One time in Budapest, I stayed in a hostel where everyone shared travel tips over breakfast, and it was actually fun. The downside? Sharing a room with strangers can be hit or miss, especially if someone decides to party all night while you’re trying to sleep.
That said, as I’ve gotten older, I lean more toward comfort. These days, I’d rather invest in business class flights and better accommodations to make the whole trip feel like more of a treat.

Hostels can be a fantastic option, especially if you're traveling on a budget or looking to meet new people. They’re often social hubs, with shared spaces and events, but the experience can vary depending on the location and type of hostel. If you’re someone who values privacy or extra comfort, splurging on business class flights for your trip can balance out the more minimalist hostel experience—luxury in the air and adventure on the ground! Have you picked a specific destination yet? Some hostels are surprisingly luxurious these days
