What Makes Hosteling International Unique?
Episode 4
Sunday, 2 December, 2018

Hostels are often a budget traveler's go-to choice for accommodations around the world. Not only do they provide us with the basic necessities for life on the road, but also the chance to meet — and learn from — other like-minded travelers from all corners of the planet. If you're a frequent traveler, you've probably already encountered Hostelling International. At first glance, HI appears to simply be a large international chain of youth hostels, but the reality is much more fascinating. In this final episode of Season 2 of HI! Japan, I sit down with HI CEO Darren Barker to get some insight into the history - and future - of this fascinating, mission driven organization. For even more, be sure to check out the accompanying article. HI! Japan is a podcast presented by Hosteling International Japan and their network of over 200 hostels across Japan. The podcast is produced and hosted by Jeremy Enns at Counterweight Creative With help from Japan World Link
