Our hostel room in Vienna. We had no reservations and they didn't want to let us have this 4 person room because there were only the two of us. We begged for the room, said we didn't mind sharing if another 2 were to come later. We had 2 Swiss girls as room mates. At 20 euros a night per person, we could easily swing it. My colleagues wouldn't be caught dead traveling like this, they travel in style and expense, prefering luxury cruises. Americans are into luxury anything, its all over the TV and we get sold on it. Only the poor college students travel like this. Not so, this is how I've traveling the last 10 years and have at least 20 trips abroad. We do our laudry in sinks and hang them all over the room.
This was our room in Catania, Sicily. It had a great view of the ocean front. This was actually an apartment owned by the hostel people, this was where they sent people when the hostel is full.

This was our room in Trapani, Sicily, a few years ago. It was actually a self contained apartment. I love this place. We've stayed in all kinds of places during our travels. We even had a berth on a train during our recent trip, we left Budapest at 6 pm, the conductor came by, handed out pillows,sheets and blankets, we went to sleep and when we woke up at 7 am, we were in Zurich. Life has been an incredible journey and it didn't matter where we laid our head, as long as it was clean and safe. Mind you I've stayed in lovely places also but they are less interesting
