Nope, generally still hang out with a beer or two and relax. Don't really go to the same hostel all the time so never use to the same story over and over. Worst is I just have some local beers and chill on the sofa.
Do it anyways, OP
I feel the same when I go at parties, the idea of meeting people that are always the same, wear the same clothes, with the same haircut, talking always about the same things really bores me (inb4 i'm an edgy prick). But if I spend the night at home watching netflix and smoking weed, the day after I feel like I've wasted my time and that maybe, going out the night after would have been super fun.
By experience, I can tell you that a couple of beers makes every conversation funnier and more interesting
Why not bring up novel topics yourself if others aren't doing it?

This is hell. I usually try to have someone for the day but can't stand the evenings in groups anymore.
I'm normie as fuck but those stereotypical cool open minded progressive party minded people are insufferable.

no, but i never stay in hostels, and i always go with my wife, family, or a friend.
>book a single room at hostel (still cheaper than real hotels)
>don't talk to any of the backpackers
>do talk to businessmen and maintenance staff directly outside of the hostel
>everything went better than expected
I just booked hostels because they cheap and I didn't want to pay more for a hotel. I spend most of trips outdoors anyway, rather than in my room socialising.
Do people actually socialise in hostels? Never experienced it
Yep, so now this is me:
>skip the hostel
>book an airbnb whole apartment
>get on tinder and find my new friend for the night

This guy knows what's up
The hostel scene can be great fun, but after you've seen the same thing a hundred times it gets a little old.
First red pill is stopping staying in dorms and staying in private rooms in hostels instead.
AirBnB is the next level of travelling red pill. Just getting into it.
Is there an even deeper travelpill?

Man that's the whole point of a hostel if you're on your own.
You socialise in the common area or bar or whatever. Last time I was in KL, I was in the bathroom and some guy in there said "hey there's a few of us going out if you want to come", went with them and had an amazing night, still have all those guys on Facebook
Though to be fair, last time I was Salzburg there was no fun - the hostel owners screen the Sound of Music there every night, so for a good chunk of the evening all the girls and their fucked bfs disappear to watch it, which killed the atmosphere
Got to be lucky I guess
