Hostelling
Hostelling International is a phrase many people do not
understand its meaning. Hostelling is simply a way of travel
through hostels and on a shoe string ie "cheap travel" have you
ever thought of it? Having worked in this proffesion for the
last 15 years,i have come to understand the real need for a
break out of school,college,university or work to get out and
see the world to adventure beat the stress and enjoy life. Many
people ignore the fact that travel is but a school out of
school,it helps one to expand knowledge on understanding the
basis for which time off from every daily activity is the
catalyst to good health. One as well gets to understand where
the world is going even at this time of advanced technology,its
people and their cultural,religious and more so political
belives which i do belive contributes to the growth and
development of countries and people,the destiny for a better
globe lies within everyone of us. I happened to travel through
Eastern Europe through hostelling and i can assure you that
hostelling is such a beautiful thing that any one who cares
about tommorow and the future of the planet for the un born
should travel the hostelling way an experience that will leave
long after we will be gone. Why do i say so,i was in a train in
paris heading down to a small town called Chearbough,seated next
to an english man heading to the same direction,we got to know
one another and somehow discovered that we had some
commonalities in our travel interests and kind of were going to
stay in the same place. I was a total stranger in this country
and new no one,only this strange young man who seemed to be a
friend but i was alittle suspecious whether he was real but had
to take the benefit of doubt as he seemed honest,it was my first
time so does him. As we headed down just about our destiny he
asked me if we could go for some refreshments after we got in to
our hostel an ideal i welcomed as i am an outgoing person,the
journey was good and arrived sometime at eight thirty in the
evening,we took a cub to the hostel from the train station. We
were well recived by the hostel staff who were friendly and very
informative, after checking in we went strait to our rooms and
got organised for the evening outing. In the process we meet
with several other young people who had as well checked in
earlier in the day and were interested in joining us so out we
went to a local pub where we had dinner actually we had snacks
and several drinks.across the road was a club where they were
playing music and we all decided to go dancing the team became
sizeable and a fun one. Every one was a stanger to the other but
in a short while we behaved like people who knew each other
years ago but was for a moment ,this is owed to the Chearbough
youth hostel for providing a hostel where people from all
corners of the globe could meet socialise and make friends staff
did play a very important role in advising us where to go and
for what which seemed valuable to us. It happend as miracle that
we managed to organise ourselves in so short a time and of
course with some help of the locals who give hints on a plan a
to visit the famous lee st Mount mitchell a very wonderful place
we had sea food for lunch as is the speciality. I do support the
work of Hostelling International globally ,its the only great
way that can make one feel at home far away from home and more
so make friendship,learn of different cultures,values,food,way
of life more so a way to develop and promote peace and
international understanding. Do plan to visit kenya and see the
beauty of it lots to see and do. KARIBU------------ WELCOME
