ABOUT US
It all started with an idea in 2023, when founder Paulo Duarte managed to bring together some independent Hostels on the West Coast of Portugal, in small Cities and Towns, which were not that well known among backpackers yet, but with authentic and fantastic experiences to offer. Then, very quickly, other independent hostels from other locations in Europe joined, making what we have today, the largest community of Independent Hostels in Europe.
Independent Hostels, as they are generally small, provide authentic and amazing experiences for their guests and have a fantastic social environment, which is not the case in chain hostels.
Our main goal is to help backpackers discover authentic Europe on a budget.
With the growth of our community of autentic Hostels in genuine towns, we are able to provide the entire backpacker community realy true experiences, that would otherwise be difficult to obtain with just a few clicks.
