Built by travelers, for travelers.
Founded by a team of explorers, creatives, and hospitality lovers, our hostel was born from the desire to create something different: a place where people don’t just stay, they live, connect, and grow.
Inspired by 127 countries around the world.
After exploring 127 countries, we realized what truly makes a place unforgettable: the people you meet, the energy you feel, and the freedom to just be. That’s exactly what we set out to create here — a home for travelers, built by travelers.
A home for travelers, inspired by 127 countries and one wild dream. This place was built to remind you that the world is meant to be explored, connections are meant to be made, and life is meant to be lived fully.
