Yeah, we're on the same page. Unfortunately, our friend of a friend, Drew, is not. He, despite being in his 30s, loves staying in hostels. Partially because they're cheap, but also Drew feels like it's the easiest way to meet interesting people when solo traveling, which he does a lot of.

Yeah. I've stayed in a hostel exactly once, I have to admit, in London for two nights. And I said, never again. I was 19. I was like, I'm good. Not Drew. Not Drew.

For this year's vacation, he is backpacking through South and Central America for two whole months and staying in hostels the entire time. Wow. First, he's going to Havana, then to Mexico City, before ending his trip in Cartagena.

Isn't it?

In two months, Drew found his hostels through his absolute favorite app, the Hostel World app. This is a real app, by the way. It has a 4.9 rating on the Apple Store, Sam, which surprised me. I don't know why.

Not only can you find and book hostels through the Hostel World app, you can also connect with other Hostel World users nearby and meet up for excursions and even DM people.

Same. Same. But it appeals to Drew because his motto for this trip is basically do it for the plot.

So I am not like a do it for the plot ass bitch. Like I love a five year plan.

The plot is me living in comfort. Come on. Yeah. Yeah. So one more important thing to know about Drew, besides the fact that he is a do-it-for-the-plot-ass bitch, is that our friend of a friend has what I call boyfriend energy.

So flirting comes as naturally to Drew as breathing. He holds really good eye contact. When he's talking to you, it feels like you're the only person in the room. He knows how to ask follow-up questions. Like when he makes you laugh, he like touches your arm a little bit.
