Travel and THE MOMENT



If travel is about anything, it is about living in the moment. When you're bouncing around from place to place, you often times only have one chance in which to experience a place or person.

At www.minihostels.com we encourage all of our travelers to embrace the moments of travel and to always remember that even on a bad day, there is something to learn and explore about yourself. Each place you go, gives you one chance to experience that place - so make the best out of all of your travel experiences!

(And do that, with MiniHostels!)
