The Yellow Hostel in Rome – My 1st Day and a Hookup Story

September 20, 2018 by Mike Leave a Comment

The yellow hostel rome front desk

Again with my all too honest travel stories.The first time I ever stayed in a hostel was in Rome.  Plenty of websites had said that The Yellow was the best party hostel in Rome, so I was back and forth with the idea.  This was going to be my first time doing solo travel, and my first time in a hostel.  I wasn’t sure what to expect.Pricewise, The Yellow is on par with most of the hostels in Rome.  It is cheaper than the boujie ones for sure.  I figured I could book the room and if I panicked beforehand I could always cancel.Getting to The YellowIn terms of arriving at the hostel, this is ridiculously easy to get to.  Odds are you’re going to be taking the train into Rome.  From Roma Termini train station, it’s only about 4 blocks north.There isn’t too much to see on … [Read more...]

Things to Do in Prague (Solo Backpacker’s Ultimate Guide)

Prague Things to Do - Solo Backpacker Travel Guide -Trouveler.com

Earlier this year I went to Prague for my first time.  I did a solo backpacking trip that included Barcelona, Rome/The Vatican, Prague, and London.  I think my biggest regret from that entire trip is that I didn't plan spend more time in Prague.  I didn't realize that there were so many things to do in Prague with so many attractions!  And it is cheap!I was only there for 2 and a half days, but I really powered through and saw as many points of interest and sights as possible.  I believe I saw the best things to do in Prague, but there is still so much more I researched (most mentioned below) that I'll be heading back soon to see.Prague is a dream city for a budget traveler.  For example, I stayed in a $12 hostel the first night and a luxury 5-star hotel the second night for about … [Read more...]

The New Day Bag I REALLY Want for Backpacking

August 4, 2018 by Mike Leave a Comment

Errant Backpack - The Best Day Pack for Backpackers?

It sounds a little obvious, but having a good backpack is one of the key things to keep in mind when backpacking.  You'll need a large bag that you can keep most of your stuff in that you'll hopefully be able to fit into overhead compartments on an airplane.  After that, you'll need a smaller day bag to carry around while you are out exploring and need a few things on hand.Currently I have the Osprey Farpoint 55 travel backpack set.  It comes with large backpack that just fits into overhead bins along with a day bag that zips and clips onto that bag.  Let me preface this whole post about another bag by saying I LOVE my Farpoint 55.  It maxes out the amount of space I can fit stuff into carry-on luggage and also has the convenient bag connector.  The main reason I got this bag was … [Read more...]

The Time I Got an Erotic Massage in Prague

The time I got an erotic massage in Prague - Honest solo travel stories

This is probably the first post I'm going to make here that is going to set me up for serious judgement, but I'm just being honest about the things I do when I travel.  Happy ending massages aren't on my normal itinerary, but something I wanted to try out in a place that it is legal and full of gorgeous women.I did look this up before I went to the Czech Republic as an option, but it kind of happened out of nighttime boredom.I was only in Prague for a couple of days.  The first day I got there in the afternoon on a flight from Rome.  When I checked into my hostel I tried to find a time that I could do laundry, but the only time I could do it was 8pm that evening.   I was in desperate need for some clean tee shirts so I just took that time and went out exploring.That day I … [Read more...]

Solo Traveling Date in London | The One that Got Away

SOLO TRAVEL STORY - My Tinder Date in London with a beautiful Ukrainian woman

This is my first time writing a more personal travel story so bear with me :)I’m willing to bet that most, definitely not all, solo travelers are single.  One of the reasons you are able to hop on a plane and travel to faraway places is because you have more free time and don’t have to think about someone else’s plans when you disappear.I’ve been single for a while now making it really easy to get up and go on a random trip here or there.  That isn’t to say that I don’t want a relationship or someone to come on these trips with me.  When I’m home I do try and date, mainly through the dating apps like most people do now.The dating apps have become a bit of a game in a way.  It is something that is done to pass time.  Sometimes I you just go on to see who likes you with no … [Read more...]
