Backpackers should buy
cheap travel insurance if they plan to save money by staying in hostels while on their trip.
Walletpop.com reports that hostels are one of the best ways for travellers to save money while exploring the globe, and there are around 20,000 to choose from scattered across the world. They normally offer a full range of accommodation for a variety of different budgets, from shared dormitories to private rooms with ensuite facilities.
Dormitories are frequently the cheapest option as they normally involve bunking in a room with several strangers, and while this may not appeal to everyone it can be a great way for backpackers to meet other people who are probably looking for similar experiences on their trip.
Hostels normally provide cooking facilities to offer travellers the chance to save more money by avoiding potentially expensive restaurant food. This not only saves money but also provides an opportunity for more socialising in communal kitchens.
Online travel insurance is always recommended for backpackers planning a stay in a communal hostel.
