I realized pretty quickly after staying in dorm style hostel rooms that it was not for me. People are disrespectful and entitled. I prefer hostels that only offer private rooms, and Pensions. Easy to find those here in Spain at a good price too. ❤
I appreciate you girl! I just came across a TH-cam of a black solo traveler with straight hair and I was thinking.... idk if it's gonna go like that for me with my type 4 natural lol I appreciate your advice!
Hellooo 👋🏾❤️ I started out wearing my natural hair however it was so time consuming. I have a lot of hair, so anytime I sweat I have to blow dry my scalp. Currently I have mini braids and that’s what works for me. Honestly any kind of braids and/or twist are the best hairstyles for black women while traveling. Just something to consider before your journey. Thank you for watching! 😊
Thanks for the informative video! I'm gonna start solo traveling in May 2024. You're so pretty, I love your natural hair, and you're wearing my favorite color: pink/fuschia! You look like the actress Tempest Bledsoe.
Idk what exactly happened with the previous guest. It can hard to prove that someone is staring at you while you are laying down/ sleeping. After I spoke to the manager, I didn't see him anymore.
@@sweetchariot - That’s true. I already know hostels aren’t for me. I didn’t like “dorm life” in college.🤷🏽♀️ I definitely would be seeking the private room options!🤣
For me I’m 31 so I feel like everybody there is super young and also I work remotely and need a quiet place for that. Hostels don’t seem right for that.
Right, it's absolutely not the place for those who work remotely. Some people can make it work. However, it can become stressful and then lead to burnout over time.
Asked for what? I'm not the first nor the last woman to stay in a coed room. It obviously works for some women (mainly white wome) because coed/ mixed dorms are offered every where. Before traveling I saw so many videos that glorified hostels even staying coed rooms. I should be able to have the same comfortable experience. Now that's not too much to ask for.
You're so pretty! And not Dragonball Z giving life lessons lol I'm glad the hostel thing worked out. i can't imagine how creepy it is to realize someone's watching you
"And I don't like horror movies." I love it!!! Keep traveling and having adventures. Praying for your continued safety.

Hostels can be fun. I have met some amazing people in hostels. I wish you had talked about Cuenca more.
Good for you! I have already uploaded a video about my overall experience in Cuenca.
I really appreciate this video. I’ve been debating on hostels… I think I might do it :)
Thank you for watching! ❤️ Yesss definitely try them out. It can be a great way to travel.
Lmaoo you are so funny u said ‘all I can think about was Jeffrey dahmer’ 😂😂😂😂
😩😩 And that was around the time the Dahmer series came out on Netflix. Lol I was up all night!
Black woman? Check! From Alabama? Check! Solo traveler? Check! Loves anime? Check! I’m so glad I found your channel

Kudos to the manager? Why? Someone had already complained about the man’s behavior yet the manager allowed him to stay there.

@@SpeakSteph 😂 same!
Hostels seem to be okay if you're traveling with someone else not solo. I definitely need a private room, there's weirdos everwhere.
Yeah staying a hostel while traveling with a friend is much better for me.
For me I’m 31 so I feel like everybody there is super young and also I work remotely and need a quiet place for that. Hostels don’t seem right for that.

Coed room? Girl, you asked for it.

Right!! Thank you for watching ❤️ I love me some anime.
