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.

Smart Stay Host...

7 years

Hello! Wayne from the UK but living in Poland! (Yes I Brexited early!) :D

We opened Smart Stay Hostel Gdynia last year and have been learning along the way, sometimes painfully! :/ Nothing too major and we ended with a sucessful first year.

Basically, I joined the club here to read about others experiences so we can improve and give our guests the best stay possible.

It's coming to the start of the new season now and we want to start off in the right direction, stresses and strains of building Smart Stay Hostel were last year, this year, we are going one way, Skywards!! ;)

Looking forward to reading about many of your experiences and maybe offering some of my own.

Good luck for 2017 everyone!

Wayne (Smart Stay Hostel Gdynia)

Hi guys,

My name is Daniel. Currently I run my own online marketing company, called More Hot Leads, but it has always been a dream of mine to run a hostel ever since I started traveling way back in 2004. Looking to start putting aside some money in the next year or 2 for this goal. Excited to be part of this forum!

If any of you need any online marketing advice, I would be happy to help.

My website is www.morehotleads.com and my skype is dmoscovitch.

Cheers!

Daniel

GraideRetreat

Hi everyone!

I am Diana. Living in Belgium. A future lucky owner of a Graide Retreat Hostel To Be )

I own an old farmbuilding, lost in Belgian Ardennes. Beautiful rural and woodland places (+) but off the beaten track (-).

I have been restoring this house for several years, using only the local and authenic techniques (clay, stones etc). Now I see how well it preserves the spirit of the building.

My dream is to create a 15-20-bed Retreat Hostel. A place where people can get far into the Ardennes, into the nature and ... into themselves in an intimate way. A place to stop )

I would like to have there a place for quientness, for retreats too, for hikes, for natural rites too )

It needs around 40K of initial investments to restore the building and to set it on a selfsustainable track.

Definitely I will go for croundfunding.

So, if you have experience to share and an advice to give - I am taking it.

Hi,

I am Tara, looking for a complete shift in career. I was a teacher and now a government admin who works in education, but I walked the Camino Primitivo a few years back and loved the idea of that journey. Thinking of opening a hostel in Spain someday, maybe soon. Still feel I have lot to learn though. However, ready to jump in if opportunity presents itself.

Thanks for the welcome!
