Introduce Yourself

Josh started this discussion 17 years 11 months ago

Hi,

I worked in hostels for many years and realized that there weren't many resources for people who run hostels or who want to open a hostel. I hope that you enjoy the site and find it useful. If you have any suggestions on how to make the site better, please let me know. My goal is to create a resource that will promote hostels and hostelling, especially in places where hostelling is not as common (e.g., here in the USA). Post in this section to introduce yourself to the other forum users.

Hello everyone,

I am sorry I haven't introduced myself before, but I've been reading and writing some threads here. My name is Esther, I am 26 and I run a hostel in Buzios, Brazil. My partners in the business are my husband and his uncle. We've opened on Junuary, 2009 and I am totally loving the job. When the hostel is full, the money is good. When the hostel is kind of empty, I get time to meet the most interesting people.

I'll keep posting so you will know more about me. Oh... And I have to say: congratulations on the work on HM. Greatest source of good information I've ever seen.

Cheers!

Hi again you all, i was writing on this board some month ago as a receptionist of the Plusflorence in Italy and now, starting from next month, I'll be so lucky to write as one of the managers of the PlusPrague in Czech Republic. So, I need your suggestions more than before :-)

Nice to meet you again.

Thank you: they're probably fools, asking me to be interested in making more money is as foolish as pretending fishes to speak. But life is sometimes strange :)

I don´t think so. I think they have identified you as a non-fool. Congrats to that. Good hostel managers are very hard to find, and if you find one within your staff it´s even better.

My name is Rik and I am a quasi international vagabond. Many of you are more experienced than I and many not. If you want to know a bit about me, I am at www.earth-world.org
I am interested in opening a world class international hostel in Indianapolis, IN.
If you are local and interested in making this work, not afraid of working for free for a year or so and have the same vision as I, contact me at

hi all, i'm very happy to have found this site and have enjoyed reading some comments that u have all written.

My name is Harry and i'm in the UK, I'm currently looking at purchasing a Hostel and am very nervous (that's an understatement)...lol

The occupancy level has declined over the past 2 years. I just want to know if any current owners have had increased or decreased occupany levels over the last year or so, due to the current economic climate.

Is it a good time to buy ????

Many thanx
