Background Checks

About HI
We love travelling.

To us, travel isn't just about going places, it's also about meeting people, discovering cultures, eating new food and most of all, learning how people do things differently than we do back home.

We believe that through hostelling, we become more conscious about the world around us; and we can even make the world a better place.

Our mission is to build a community of conscious travellers who share a greater understanding of people, places and cultures through our network of hostels and people.
