Unit 39 A Good Way to Travel
M: Traveling is a good hobby. If you have very
little money, backpacking is a good way to
travel. Many students like to backpack. They
can travel cheaply. They can travel to many
places. These travelers carry their belongings in
large backpacks. They are called backpackers.
Backpackers take buses or trains to save
money. They camp outdoors to sleep. If they
stay in a city, they may go to a hostel. A hostel
is like a hotel. Hotels are not cheap. Hostels are
very cheap. Travelers often share rooms at hostels.
There are only a few toilets and baths. People
share them, too.
Hostels are a good place to meet other
travelers. You can make friends. They can tell
you about fun things to do in the area. Many
hostels have kitchens. These kitchens have
stoves. Some have toasters. You can buy your
food from a store. Then, you can cook at the
hostel. This is cheaper than eating out. Just
remember to clean up when you are done!
