Traveling around the country, around the globe or just around the community can offer a wide range of experiences. Choosing different travel arrangements and accommodations is one of the easiest ways to change the experience. Hotels and hostels each give a different perspective of a region and can be used to expand the experience or stretch the budget.
Choosing Hostels
Hostels were originally designed to be a cut rate alternative for those youths eager to travel the globe. They offered few - if any - amenities and usually were designed in a dorm like situation with multiple beads per space. Today's hostels can run the range of those from the good ole days to ones that are designed with higher standards and more amenities.
No matter where the hostel falls in that range there are some things that you will probably encounter when staying at a hostel.
* Hostels are still the choice accommodations for the younger generation so these are the travelers that you are likely to meet when staying at a hostel.
* Hostels may offer more private rooms but they are still a more social and less formal atmosphere than other more traditional accommodations.
* Hostels are definitely a do it yourself alternative to travel.
* Younger clientele usually means a little more noise so find some where else to stay if you are looking for a little peace and quiet.
Choosing Hotels
Hotels tend to offer more private accommodations for travelers including a private room for sleeping and bathing. Travel has become such a world wide experience that there are typically hotels of some level available in any location but they will be more costly then the less private option of a hostel.
* Hotels can be the better choice for women or others traveling alone because the security is often better in the hotels.
* Anyone NOT seeking adventure should consider a hotel where a concierge can help you find what you are looking for in the area.
* Families will probably want to look for hotel accommodations because many hostels do not take children.
Hostels and hotels both offer great benefits to travelers and can be found in just about any location around the world. Choosing the right accommodations will be largely determined by your needs and your budget.

How to Kill a Relationship
Relationship Killers: 8 Things You Should Never Say
We are all going to fight sometimes in our Relationships, but whether we fight fair is another story. Avoid these phrases and you'll be one step closer to a happier, healthier relationship.
Are the following phrases part of your vocabulary when dealing with the love of your life? Get rid of these fighting words from your love lingo and you’ll reap the rewards. Don’t do this, and your relationship just might meet the grim reaper!
“Then I guess we shouldn’t be dating!” You wouldn’t tell your boss you’re quitting your job unless you meant it, would you? But sometimes, in a tough relationship, people are tempted to pull out the nuclear option just to get the other person off their backs: “If you don’t like the way I season meat, then you’ll never understand me! We should just break up now!”
Save your breakup talk for when you truly want to end a relationship, not as a rhetorical weapon. Otherwise, you will risk your match taking you up on the offer and leaving you crying over beer for one.
“Why can’t you be just like my ex?” We all have people that have taught us what we do and don’t like in Relationships. But the person you’re being with now wants to feel special, not like the sequel to a bad romantic comedy. Don’t make it sound as though you’re living in the past. Tell your current love specifically how you feel and what you want, but in the context of the present time.
“I’m just too tired from working hard all day to help you with that.” Of course, you’re not lying – you most probably did get exhausted from rushing around and dealing with your boss all day. But now, when most men and women have taxing jobs outside the home, this is the lamest excuse in the book. Remember, the man or woman you love is probably as exhausted as you, and even if they’re not, they shouldn’t have to pick up your dirty socks, move a couch by themselves, or take the kids to soccer practice just because you did a little work. If you’re really tired, ask your spouse to trade or defer chores. Or better yet, just do whatever it is quickly, so you can have time to relax and enjoy each other’s time together.
