As I spent 7 months travelling through Europe on and off, I have stayed in my fair share of hostels. I know the idea of staying in a hostel is absolutely horrifying for many (say, most of my gal pals at home), but some hostels are truly awesome and they can be a great way to make your dollar spread further when travelling.

Hostel Hunting in Europe

Europe, although (arguably) smaller in land mass compared to Australia, consists of so many different countries, cities and cultures that it would take years if you wanted to experience it all properly. As a result, planning a three week trip and trying to get the perfect itinerary can be very daunting. Three weeks isn't a particularly long time but you'd be surprised at how much you can see in just a few short weeks.
Traveling isn't always smooth sailing. Things don't always go to plan. You usually learn this the hard way. We sure did. During our six week trip around Europe, we had more than one too many things go wrong. At times, it seemed like the end of the world and that we were doomed to be stuck in Europe forever, or that we wouldn't survive to see the day where we would make it home. Looking back though, these misfortunes just make for hilariously good stories and what's a good story if it isn't shared? Here's just a few of the catastrophes that we encountered during our travels.

I've finally arrived back at Warwick after my
first European backpacking adventure! After backpacking for three weeks, there
are definitely things that I have learnt along the way. I know that three weeks isn't a particularly long time but 11 cities in 22 days is
no easy feat for a backpacking beginner. I've come back with the desire to travel more, to see more of
the world, to experience more cultures and to meet more people. I can't even
put into words the experiences that I have had during these short
three weeks. This experience has given me a newfound confidence in myself and
in what I can achieve and endure.
