These about hostels in North America

Hi,

I'm Thibault, a french student from Grenoble. I start this discussion to find people to interview for my thesis focused on hostels. With two friends, we choose to study this problematic : Determine whether the development of the hostel model in California could become the next disruption in the local hospitality industry. 

I would like to have a quick skype interview with hostel owner or people involved in this sector. If anyone is available to answer a few questions, that would be amazing.

Best regards

Thibault, Emilie & Olivier
