The Traveling Dan # 2: Debunking the Myths of Hostels with Michelle McBryde

August 12, 2014 By: Daniel Parlegreco

Hostel Rocket Michelle McBryde

With the launch of the highly publicized company Hostel Rocket, I reached out to the CEO Michelle McBryde. While the hostel world has a ton of competition, I truly believe after talking to Michelle that Hostel Rocket is going to bring something new to the game.

Michelle brings a great energy to the hostel business. In addition to that, she has loads of experience when it comes to what travelers need and want when it comes to accommodations.

Michelle has owned and operated hostels in the past in addition to staying at hundreds over the years of traveling.

On this episode you will hear:

  • The growth of hostels around the world, even in the US!
  • Why in some cases hostels are nicer then hotels, especially for budget travelers
  • Why hostel operators actually care about our money
  • A hostel in Morocco that has spa treatments!
  • What Hostel Rocket is bringing that separates it from the competition
  • What Hostel Rocket’s plans for the future are
