Great point Jerome! I am missing the hostel life these days… hope they are back in action soon!

Earplugs are a definite must have for travel that saves a whole lot of discomfort and grumpiness!
I love the tip about making friends, not just from my very active socializing side, but from a useful aspect too. You never know who will come through for you on the days that you forget one of these precious commodities.

You can always do a private room in a hostel: best of both worlds!

I need privacy when going to sleep for the night. Yes, it is more affordable to stay at a hostel. But I would rather pay a little more to have my own room. But after reading this I kinda want to get the experience.

I basically eat all hours of the day 😉 But I agree, I can’t go to bed hungry or I can’t fall asleep!

I wanted to share a problem and fix I had with waking up every few hours in the night. Your last tip about snacks made me think of it. If you exercise, you may NEED a small snack before bed. This is what happened to me. I didn’t know it, but my body was waking me up saying “give me food”. Sounds crazy, but it’s true! I started eating a small snack before bed and I hardly ever wake up anymore.

I sleep with an eye mask pretty much every night now 🙂 I think it just tells my body, hey, it’s time to sleep!

When I first started travelling I had no idea about earplugs and sleeping masks + how much they can help (especially when sleeping in a dorm). Now I almost can’t imagine my life without them. And sometimes when the noise problem is really bad (loud snoring for example!) I put on my sleep headphones and no noise will disturb me haha.
