I thought I should start writing about something easy and something that I was super positive about in these dark times of social distancing and pandemic craziness. So I'm here to write about my excellent experience in early March at the Goodmorning Solo Traveller Hostel in Lisbon, Portugal. When I first booked my plane ticket across the Atlantic to visit Portugal, I immediately went on Hostel World to book my private rooms ASAP.

While I visited Budapest and Vienna, I ended up staying at the Wombat's Hostel in each city, so I thought I should leave a Wombat's Hostel review in case you're visiting those cities in the future.

I’d stayed in hostels in Amsterdam and Seattle previously and I’d always had delightful experiences. Plus: they’re cheap and when you're traveling for almost two weeks, cheap is appealing.
