Why people run hostels

Interesting read. :)

The only part I didn't 100% with it was this:

Hostels can be inns, budget bed and breakfasts, farms, residences, retreat centres, hospitality homes, camps campgrounds, or houseboats. There’s an ice house hostel, a school bus hostel, a tepee hostel, an old jail, a hostel in rail cars, renovated motels, historic buildings, revamped hotels, a Presbyterian camp, an eco-centre, a white water rapids hostel; the list goes on.
