Hostels & Hippy

Welcome to Hostels & Hippy, TILT’s regular feature exploring the colourful, inclusive world of hostels, backpacking culture, and alternative travel.

From accessible city hostels with modern design to eco-friendly beach retreats and community-led hippy hangouts, we spotlight spaces where creativity, connection, and diversity thrive.

Each edition highlights destinations and experiences that prove budget-friendly travel doesn’t mean compromising on comfort, style, or inclusivity.

Whether you’re chasing music festivals, exploring art hubs, or simply seeking soulful encounters on the road, Hostels & Hippy celebrates the freedom of travel at its most vibrant — where every traveller is welcomed, and every story matters.
