Hostelling

Living out of a suitcase, sleeping on dead mattresses, hitting my head on the top bunk, the girl who lost her credit card so gets food out of dumpsters and looks like a hippy fairy, showering in tepid water in thongs, tearing thread-bare sheets, the sweet asian kid who wanted a photo with me 'cause I helped her find the shops, living off of the cheapest possible food, sharing stories about far-off lands with total strangers... yep, I'm in a hostel again.
