To celebrate our 10 year anniversary, we are running a series of great competitions over the next 12 months! For this competition, we asked you to tell us your best travel story from the last decade and we've learned that you certainly have a few tales to tell! The entries detailed your most memorable, enjoyable, terrifying, moving, and inspiring travel experiences over the last 10 years. We received a huge number of entries and Hostelworld.com would like to say a big thanks to everyone who entered and shared their travel highlight with us.

After a lot of deliberation, the Hostelworld team finally decided on the winning story. We would like to congratulate Kim Heeramun from the UK who wins first prize of a €500 travel voucher for her story.
