Traveling to Oz
Hey there.. 34 y/o single american guy going to Oz. Trying to figure
out: 1) How hard to meet a group of folks to hang out with, party, see sights, whatever? Are there any places that single travelers (or solo travelers, whatever) go? 2) Hostel or motel? Pro's, cons? What do you do w/ your luggage in a hostel? Queensland is my destination.. for a week. Sydney/Melbourne for a week. Thanks all!!! Dave |

In article , Stimp says...
As for luggage, I've never had any problems with my backpack in a hostel... just leave the bag under your bed generally. Also get some good small padlocks. YHA hostels generally have lockers in the rooms. And lockers outside for those times after you've checked out but your plane isn't leaving for a while but you still want to explore a bit more. Motels may be more comfortable and secure, but they are fairly arid. There's nothing to match the atmosphere in a good hotel, and everyone has advice on what's good and what's cheap. Pete, fan of hostels |
