Thank you! I always try to be as honest as I can. I think it is important to share the good and the bad and not just pretty perfect travel stories. You should definitely try volunteering in hostel! It is experience everyone should have. 🙂

I’d like to give it a go at some point! Will start scouring workaway for some opportunities 🙂 thanks Viivi

Hello! Firstly thank you for saying those amazing things about my blog and reblogging my post. It really made my day. Secondly your story is so inspiring. I have always dreamed about starting my own hostel but I am not yet ready for that. Maybe someday in the future…

I think everyone should be like you and do what makes them happy.

I checked out your hostel and it looks cool! So many languages on your website. I don’t want to sound rude but I have one advice for you. Some of the photos from your hostel are a little too dark so it doesn’t make that good first impression.

I hope all good for you and your hostel! 🙂

I just found your blog and it was love at first sight: awesome post!
I am an amateur blogger (since Aug 2014: chaoticpharmacology.com) – I’m also a professor of pharmacology in a Colombian university (since 2003) who became – recently – a pharmascold (a person who fights obsessively against pharmaceutical companies – my major motivation to become a blogger). Nonetheless, I became a bit bored a few months ago, so I decided to open a hostel —> I love it!! I’m even thinking – seriously – about quitting my “serious” job in the university, I’ll take some months to decide, a hostel is not easy to manage, but I’m happier working in my own hostel than repeating the same lectures year after year – until my retirement or death! (I prefer the thrill of changing my career and quitting things that make me unhappy or bored).

About one of the bad points: “Sharing the room with bunch of strangers” — I agree (my solution was leaving the hostel – I rented a small room in a few meters away of the hostel – it was a very good decision)

Cheers!!

Jorge

Yes there is many sites in internet where hostel owners are trying to find travellers to work for them and they will get free accommodation. It’s easy and fun. You will meet interesting people and get insiders tips to the city from other workers 🙂
