5. The Farm Hostel, Bali, Indonesia

View this post on Instagram

The Farm Canggu Undeniably one of the best hostels I’ve stayed so far and one to mark down on your Bali guide my friends! It wasn’t about the comfort or amenities (which btw were ) but mostly the overall welcoming feeling from the local staff that makes you part of the “Farm family” as soon as you step in and no matter how long you stay! I’m still to this day, so happy I randomly chose this hostel on a last minute decision (thanks to @hostelworld ) I know my trip wouldn’t been the same without this experience Thanks @thefarmhostel for having me I’ll be back for sure!

My favorite thing in Morocco has been exploring all the beautiful riads. It’s been so much fun mixing and matching patterns to the Moroccan designs like this dress by @myjewellery ! ★ ★ ★ Do you guys pack more neutrals or patterns when traveling?

11. Fauzi Azar Inn, Nazareth, Israel

View this post on Instagram

This collaboratively-run inn by @abrahamhostels is tucked away in the Old City of Nazareth. Because of a combination of factors — the far-sighted cultural and social initiatives of its staff and volunteers, and the unexpected friendships that formed between them and guests over the course of cooking workshops, Arabic classes and late-night conversations on the porch overlooking the city until we all eventually went our separate ways — whenever I’ll think of the word “respite” I have a feeling this special place will always come to mind. Also. The Ottoman architecture. It’s something I’ve dreamed about since I was a strange child.
