Hi from Sion!
This small but important town on the route between Italy and France is where I counted the eighth anniversary of the Pipeaway blog.
It was 2017 spring in Kyoto, Japan, in some rented Airbnb studio, when I hit ‘publish’.
Over the years, while I chased stories and destinations around the world, I stayed in a variety of accommodations, from luxury hotels to people’s private homes (Couchsurfing horror stories, always looking fondly at you!).
Currently, I am a plant-sitter, taking care of a home in the owner’s absence, under constant stress whether I will kill an orchid or not.
But there is one type of accommodation you just cannot beat – hostels.
Some of the most affordable places to stay come together with socializing adventures. And humans are a neverending source of inspiration for any traveler interested in exploring the world.
For Pipeaway’s eighth anniversary, I prepared another extraordinary listicle – on the most bizarre hostel experiences of my journeys.
I kid you not (it’s too early for April Fools’ Day), this sleep-talker (guilty!) met extreme snorers, stinkers, pissers, poopers, and all sorts of other wild characters in dormitories. And I can still call hostel stays a fun experience!
Please read the article and let me know if you have experienced anything similar. I’d love to hear your bizarre anecdotes; respond to this email or, even better, leave them in the article’s comments so everyone can learn about them.
Have a less bizarre week!
