what is up YouTube it is day two in New
York City
and the weather is it's pretty wet it's
pretty miserable that's why I'm hiding
under this umbrella I'm staying at a
place called Hostelling International
New York City the staff told me this is
one of the biggest hospitals in all of
the United States and yeah I thought
this would be a good day to show you
around a bit let's go oh yeah one more
thing I think most you know I just left
Mexico this is so funny there's a place
right across the street called Casa
McKenna just to show you you can leave
Mexico but it never leaves you let's go
inside okay the rain is actually stopped
which is awesome because I can show you
this common space area that they have
all of these are rooms isn't that crazy
yeah this is an absolutely enormous
hostel the last hostel I showed you guys
in Puerto Vallarta was a tiny one well
not too tiny but it probably had you
know 30 or 40 guests this place I
imagine has at least a few hundred
guests and big hostels can have pros and
cons I mean one of the cons is when you
first get there it's kind of
overwhelming because there's a lot of
people but one of the big pros about
being a place like this is that they
organize a lot of events a lot of free
activities a lot of things to bring
people together now I got to be
completely transparent with you guys
this video I'm making is an exchange for
a free stay at this hostel there's no
requirements for what I have to say in
this video but that was the agreement
do a little bit of promotion in exchange
for a bed good for them good for me but
even if I wasn't doing that
I probably would have been staying in a
hostel like this because I mean New York
City is an expensive place guys and any
way that you can keep that cost down is
a good choice okay guys welcome to my
room
this isn't actually my room my room is a
bit messy so I talked to the staff and
they gave me an empty room to show you
but yeah an empty room is probably
better than showing you how messy I am
when I travel anyway this is what the
dorm room looks like top bunk bottom
bunk reading lamp
one outlet two outlets USB charger USB
charger that is actually very modern for
a hostel most hostels have what most
hospitals have like this and I think
some of the rooms in this hostel might
not have that set up like this one but
you got privacy curtains so if you you
know need privacy don't do anything too
private because you're still sharing a
room with other people but you know if
you need to change clothes or you just
want some privacy when you're sleeping
or resting it's good to have these okay
what else do we have what else do we
have clean towel
clean sheets clean blanket because it is
freezing outside in January what else
what else
oh yeah the lockers very important for
traveler so I travel with a big camera
bag so one thing that one thing that
sometimes bothers me about hostels is
they have these very small lockers but
these ones look big these ones look like
like this is my camera bag and
yeah like some hostels this literally
takes up the whole Locker but here
plenty of space if you are traveler
who's new to hostels I would recommend
bringing a little padlock with you
I think Hostelling International rents
padlocks but yeah like it's always you
never know at hostels if you're gonna
get those or not so get a small and
strong padlock and it's the best
investment you'll ever make anyway guys
this tour would not be complete without
showing you the bathrooms because I know
a lot of people like to know if there's
clean bathrooms when they stay someplace
but I don't know if there's anyone
inside and I'm kind of weird about
taking my camera in a bathroom so I'm
gonna try and do it but only if there's
no one inside
okay we're good come on
[Music]
not too bad huh oh my God look at that
sky it's always better after the rain
isn't it anyway guys that's it that's my
little look at Hostelling International
New York City the sky looks incredible
right now - the rain has stopped and
yeah
I think I'm gonna end this video with a
little Kasey nice that style time lapse
so hope you enjoy this and I'll see you
next time
