How & what to pack when staying in a hostel?
Usually you would pack your usual stuff, but there are some things to consider. First of all, travel light! Leave your laptop at home, it will only keep you looking for safe places to put it and electrical outlets to recharge it. And those extra pair of shoes and that extra sweater and the extra pair of pants could easily become a pain in the ass when your room is located on the 5th floor and the elevator does not exist. Hostels usually don’t come with baggage porters. Second, consider buying a good backpack. A backpack is by far the best way of getting your stuff from one place to another. Use some time finding one that’s comfortable and practical. As most hostels don’t have closets, your backpack will serve as that.
