Disclaimer:<\/b> We apologise for being very very stereotypical! There is no offence or sassyness intended. But be honest, we’ve all met a few of these travellers during our hostel stays.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How many of these guys do you recognise? And which one are you?!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. The party animal<\/h2>\n

(Read in David Attenborough voice)<\/p>\n

The party animal will often be seen grazing in bed into the early afternoon. You may hear moans and groans of regret from decisions they made the prior night. Once finally awake, they slowly head towards a watering whole (the hostel kitchen!) Here, other members of the herd (hostel) remind the party animal of their hilarious antics! As the evening sets in, the party animal gets their speakers and puts on some classic tunes. They crack open some form of cheap alcohol and persuade everyone to play drinking games. They are true entertainers and a great laugh to have around the hostel<\/p>\n

Strengths:<\/b> Strong music playlists, including all the party starters such as Vengaboys and Sean Paul<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/b>\u00a0No chance of an early morning excursion<\/p>\n

Trademark: <\/b>Obsessed with beer-pong<\/p>\n

\"hostel<\/p>\n

2. The spiritual hipsters<\/h2>\n

These guys really embrace the freedom of travel! You\u2019ll probably find them wearing baggy yet seriously comfy MC Hammer pants, usually featuring elephant print! You’ll enjoy real deep chats with these travellers, they see the beauty in the world and will help you appreciate just how amazing travelling is.<\/p>\n

Strengths:<\/b>\u00a0Deep chats about how amazing dogs and travel are<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/b>\u00a0Healthy smoothies. They can’t resist them<\/p>\n

Trademark:<\/b>Handmade bracelets\/anklets from every country they’ve ever visited<\/p>\n

\"hostel<\/p>\n

3. The \u201cI quit my job\u201d traveller<\/h2>\n

This person will be seen embracing the travelling life, enjoying every adrenaline activity in their way, letting their hair down after realising there’s so much more to life than work. They don’t really plan ahead, they live in the moment. Everything is pretty impulsive, on a whim, letting off steam from the job they hated… and as a result, they often don’t ration their dollar so well! This means their travels are usually similar to fireworks: Amazing, explosive, but over pretty soon.<\/p>\n

Strengths:<\/b>\u00a0Will probably get the first round in<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/b>\u00a0Budgeting<\/p>\n

Trademark: <\/b>Here for good time, not a long time<\/p>\n

\"hostel<\/p>\n

4. The phone addict<\/h2>\n

They’ve come away to see the world, but unfortunately they’re living way too much of their adventures through a screen! They should be out meeting new people, but they get heavily distracted by their phone, whatsapping friends and family back home and trying to make them jealous with hourly updates on Instagram! They’ll take between 500-1000 selfies a day, making the most of all the “cute” filters available!<\/p>\n

Strengths:<\/b>\u00a0Documenting your travels like your personal videographer<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/b>\u00a0Goes AWOL on nights out to face-time someone from back home<\/p>\n

Trademark:\u00a0<\/b> Has a minimum of 2 portable chargers<\/p>\n

\"hostel<\/p>\n

5. The annoying couple<\/h2>\n

This brave couple decided to go travelling TOGETHER! Prepare yourself for all extremities of emotions when these guys are around. Ups and downs, smiles and frowns, love and hate… you’ll see it all. Make yourself scarce when any arguments start (you do not want to be dragged in to that!) and avoid being near when they finally make up; Their PDA is awks!<\/p>\n

Strengths:<\/b>\u00a0Classic entertainment<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/b> There’s the odd ‘weird’ moment when sharing a dorm with a couple<\/p>\n

Trademark:<\/b>Expect at least one blazing argument over a jealous partner getting on ‘too well’ with a new hostel mate<\/p>\n

\"hostel<\/p>\n

6. The know-it-all<\/h2>\n

This person has been everywhere, and as a result they have an opinion on EVERYTHING! Every beach, restaurant or bar you’ve visited, so have they. It almost feels like they are trying to sabotage your awesome stories by trying to better them. But they’re arent that bad, don’t stress – Yes it can be annoying, but they mean no harm!<\/p>\n

Strengths:<\/b>\u00a0They will become your best friend if you ever get sick, as obviously they came prepared with a giant bag full of medication!<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Awkward dance moves, like a drunken Auntie at a wedding!<\/p>\n

Trademark: <\/b>Two words… “I know”<\/p>\n

\"hostel<\/p>\n

7. The newbie<\/h2>\n

This endearing fresh-faced go-getter is very new to travelling. They are a bit naive to backpacking at first, but they are quick to embrace their new life out of a bag and like a young pup, they get very excited by all new adventures.<\/p>\n

Strengths:<\/b>\u00a0Endearing energy and enthusiasm<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/b>\u00a0 Not being able to stay out past 1am<\/p>\n

Trademark: <\/b>The classic University hoody to prove that they have recently graduated<\/p>\n

\"hostel<\/p>\n

8. The wannabe musician<\/h2>\n

It’s hard to make it as a musician, but maybe travel could be the key to success (they think!) If the beautiful places you see and random stories you create don’t inspire you to make top tunes, what else will!
\nThis person will never be seen without their guitar. They will seize every opportunity possible to start a sing-song, loving the limelight and taking requests\u2026 which obviously get cheesier the more drunk you get!<\/p>\n

Strengths:<\/b>\u00a0Your personal jukebox, they’ll play (almost) whatever you want to hear<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/b> They refuse to play the ultimate crowd-pleasers (Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys etc.) due to fears of ruining their well-respected street cred<\/p>\n

Trademark: <\/b>The drunker they get the more they close their eyes when they sing! It’s the emotion!<\/p>\n

\"hostel<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9. The flash-packer<\/h2>\n

Think, a backpacker with a a much better budget! Although they are living out of a bag and sleeping on a bunk bed just like you, they try their best to style it out. State of the art rucksack, designer clothes, expensive sunglasses, camera, laptop and watch! Despite being a backpacker they can’t shake their materialistic desires! We are not sure where they are getting their money from, but they seem to be doing alright for themselves.<\/p>\n

Strengths:<\/strong>\u00a0Great laptop for film night in the dorm<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/strong>\u00a0Spends a looooong time getting ready<\/p>\n

Trademark: <\/b>Happy to pay that extra bit for the better coffee<\/p>\n

\"hostel<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10. The long-termer<\/h2>\n

This person really really loves travelling, like, to the point that they are almost scared to go home! (But they won’t admit it, of course.) It’s been such an amazing trip, they don’t want the magical-ness to end, so they’ll be do every random job they can to try and stay!<\/p>\n

Strengths:<\/b>\u00a0These super-friendly and sociable individuals know a lot of life hacks e.g. Happy hours and 2 for 1 meals<\/p>\n

Strengths:<\/b>\u00a0 Unable to join any excursions due to work commitments<\/p>\n

Trademark: <\/b> A LOT of Facebook friends!<\/p>\n

\"hostel<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

How many (out of 10) do you recognise?<\/p>\n

If it’s made you reminisce and miss travelling, start making new memories in any of these cheap and awesome European cities<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":136946,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"hw_related":"[{\"id\":113546,\"score\":0.763700000000000045474735088646411895751953125,\"hook\":\"\"},{\"id\":111357,\"score\":0.74650000000000005240252676230738870799541473388671875,\"hook\":\"\"},{\"id\":2813,\"score\":0.76919999999999999484856516573927365243434906005859375,\"hook\":\"\"},{\"id\":50874,\"score\":0.75890000000000001900701818158267997205257415771484375,\"hook\":\"\"},{\"id\":49189,\"score\":0.74860000000000004316547119742608629167079925537109375,\"hook\":\"\"},{\"id\":49498,\"score\":0.73080000000000000515143483426072634756565093994140625,\"hook\":\"\"}]","footnotes":""},"categories":[9473],"tags":[264361],"class_list":["post-98703","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-travel-tips","tag-where-to-stay","wpbf-post"],"yoast_head":"\n10 travellers you\u2019ve almost definitely met in a hostel - Hostelworld Travel Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Here are the 10 travellers you've probably met in a hostel.
