Backpacker Video of the Week

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

This week’s backpacker video is Hostel, an amateur backpacking show. I came across an episode on YouTube, and thought it was well done. It wasn’t glossy and overproduced. It felt real. It was shot in Montreal, and it seems like the creators are trying to market it out on YouTube.

Youth travel backpacker show . Follow Phife and Kevin as they travel the world and explore the subculture of youth backpacking and hosteling equipped with only $50 a day and a desire to party!

I couldn’t help but pick up on the girl that comments around 2:55 about how she’s on month 10 of a trip around the world. It’s less what she said, than her tone. It sounded as though she was tired of saying it. I can sort of relate. I’m getting a bit tired of the term “around the world” and I haven’t even left yet!

What do you think – do Phife and Kevin have a potential hit on their hands?

Good choice it does have that raw real feel.. I know you have been talking about around the world for a while now, but step out side your shoes and think about some of us who wont be able to get around the world till there kids are off to college or married.. Plus once you get on the road it will be all different you wont be just talking about your trip you will be on it :grin:
