I was going to resume travel tales, but it sounds like a lot of you are in the process of planning your own trips, so advice would be more timely than pretty pictures. So, let’s talk hostels.

The best way to book hostels is online. I used Hostelworld - you can read reviews, sort by ratings or price. I also asked readers - the suggestions they gave were the most useful. If I haven’t visited the city you’re headed to (and thus not given a thumbs up on a hostel there), drop me a line. I’ll put it out there for readers to chime in.
