Transforming Hostel Experiences Nathan St Cyr & Michael Russell

Discover how howzithostel has successfully transformed to cater to 18 to 30-year-olds, with a special focus on experiential travel and solo female travelers. By implementing strategic pricing and community-building efforts, we’ve shifted our demographic from an older age group to a vibrant, younger crowd seeking Instagrammable moments.

Our guests can stay for up to 14 days and must provide proof of travel. We offer a range of onsite and offsite experiences, such as waterfall tours, providing great value and unforgettable memories. We also prioritize the safety and confidence of solo female travelers with measures like security cameras and key locks.

Join us as we share how our hostel creates an exciting, secure environment for young adventurers and solo female travelers, offering unique experiences and fostering a strong sense of community.
