How many of you have stayed at a hostel? You are probably aware that there are all kinds and qualities of hostels. This is one of the reasons for being sure they are members of Hostelling International, so you know they meet the high standards of a national group.
There are two peripheral missions of Hostelling International. One is to promote the issue of a commemorative U.S. Postage Stamp in the year 2009. This would be to recognize 100 years of hostelling. Many other nationals have already issued such a stamp.
The other is an educational program called Opening Minds, where we do a powerpoint program on World Travel 101, and Women Travelling Solo. As the president of the Alaska Council, I have done a few of these, which have been well received.
We encourage people of all ages to try staying at a hostel on your next trip.
