As the crow flies

Meetin People

So I just finished staying at the Beachouse, this backpacker resort place. The beach was second rate as I read, but it was still okay and they had a hammock between two palm trees.

The best part of the beachouse was the central area where everyone gathered and could just hang out and talk. There were a lot of English people and Canadians there. I quite enjoy meeting new people. I have to go catch the bus now.

Edit:
Now I'll finish this post now that I have more time. If you're travelling by yourself than hostelling is the way to go, otherwise you would get lonely not having people to talk to. Some hostels promote socializing (I was going to put socialism, but then decided that wasn't the right word) more than others, it mainly depends on their location and the quality of their communal area.

At the beachouse I met this bloke from Brisbane Australia on a hike, and after that we did a few things together. That was cool that I found someone who wanted to do the same things as I did. In the past I just did what I wanted, no matter if I was alone or not.

I'm going on the Kiwi Experience Bus in NZ, so we'll see how conducive that is to meeting people.

Cheers.
