Carmen and I splurged ($16 per night) in this crazy hostel in Ubud. We had a talk about money/ consumerism/ treating yourself and decided to try to mindfully spend our money on special things that we will especially remember and enjoy. Less cheap garbage purchases and more savoringggg (yum)
This hostel was actually crazy though.
Pool, free yoga, free breakfast, extravagant showers, movie night, and amazing bunks with curtains, duvets, lights, outlets. Really fun to treat ourselves but definitely out of our element of scrappy smelly travel buddies.
Ft. Italian date night
p.s. hostels/ hotels like these are the largest culprits of cultural appropriation fyi. Everything is a learning experience man
