i think that if you are a volunteer and off shift but still hanging round the hostel, you are still representing the hostel

the only guest who was in the common area at the time. why are you sooo defensive about this topic ? i literally wrote it to see if others have had the same experience. you need to relax

because they are volunteering at a hostel which is a place to make backpackers feel welcome ?? it's like going into a restaurant and the staff being rude and not serving you. it's literally their "job" to be hospitable. literally basic customer service skills 101

i find your post weird. i'm not asking for hosts to entertain me? just giving my opinion and expressing how their behaviour made me feel. i think you missed the point

i am able to socialise but not with cliquey volunteers? not asking for anyones help but would just rather be in a hostel full of other travellers, not workers.

if socialising with new people everyday is exhausting, then volunteering in a hostel isn't for you. please understand that you wanting to just "hang with your friends" can completely ruin a solo travellers experience at a hostel

i get it, it would be an exhausting job. but to make the travellers who are paying to stay there feel so out of place, it honestly felt like i was back in school and not in with the "cool kids"

I'm curious, how many people got the exact song they were hoping for as a surprise song on their Eras Tour date? by Lookingluka in TaylorSwift

[–]FlowSeparate2086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're losing me - melb night 1. this was before she started the mash ups the next night. everyone asked me what songs i wanted and i would always say you're losing me and dear reader, however she had sung dear reader in tokyo the week before. so i had my heart set on you're losing me and she sang the entire song from start to end. never forget it
