budget travel tip #2
Travelling is exciting and yet, tiring. All those walking around and being perpetually on the move could drain the energies of even the fittest globetrotter. Hence, the need to recharge by getting a good night’s sleep.
Problem is, this is sometimes impossible. Light sleepers are especially in danger of being constantly bothered by a snoring dorm mate or that loud din coming from the bar next door.
One can never tell what is in store for one when booking that cheap hostel. Apart from booking that nicer but more expensive hotel, the only way to get around this is to BRING EAR PLUGS.

Ear plugs are glorious inventions. They’re really helpful when living in a house full of fellow college students, or residing in a college town. Something I don’t remotely miss after 3 months away from it! :D
