I'm pushing half a century soon and i'd like to do some more international travel. i used to rent a car and sleep in the back when i traveled previously, but that can make for some uncomfortable evenings. so for the bucks and does on here who don't want to spend $300 a night on a fine star hotel, let alone even 100, how do hostels work for middle-aged people? is it even a thing?

I’ve never been to one so I’d love to. I’ve hosted couch surfers before so I’d like to do that.

Basically you become hyper best friends with whoever you couch surf with because both sides are trying to get it to what they would have someone sleep over at. You end up getting the best insider killer tour and trip of wherever you go.

Go to a couch surfing meetup and talk with these people. These people live more of a life in a week than most do in a year. It’s stunning

That sounds very caffeinated to me. If they could slow the do more in a week than you've done in a year to maybe do more in 6 months than you do in a year, I'd probably be able to swing that.
