Rare take of the day: I love living in travel hostels.

Obviously isn't for everyone, and there are definitely downsides (difficult to build deep relationships as most people are just passing through, can feel crowded at times, etc.)

But if you're a natural people-watcher/studier like me, they offer so much psychological stimulation that it can be rather addicting. You get a constant flow of information on the different patterns humanity is going through on a global level.

I know that someday I'll get sick of it and finally settle into building out my own place with a family, but for now, I really crave that hyper-social atmosphere. It fits so well with my fascination with people, and observing how different societal segments are handling the craziness of the world.

Depends on the hostel! Some are OK if you get a good mix. The amenities can make up for the lack of privacy. Most of hostel guests are a bit young for me (I'm over 50 but they all thought I was 35). I've also done the night train in a bunker car with 3 other women thing before too (Italy).
