Unique and Unusual Hostels
Traveling the world gets expensive. Hostels can help cut back some of that cost and lets you meet people and experience things that you likely wouldn’t see if you took the more conventional vacation approach. But a cheap hostel doesn’t have to be a dingy room you share with everybody else in the country. To get all of the benefits of hostel hopping while still experiencing quality digs, check out these truly unique hostels. 1. Jumbo Stay, Stockholm, Sweden If you’re in the middle of a long tour around the globe, climbing into a plane to spend the night is probably the last thing that you want to do. But this hostel will change your mind. This Boeing 747-200 Jumbo Jet has been converted into 26 rooms that give your plenty of room to stretch out and great views. The luxury suite up in the cockpit has an ensuite bathroom and the best view of all the planes coming and going out of Arlanda Airport, which is just a ten minute walk away. All of the rooms come with flat screen TVs and Wi-Fi. The on-board big screen displays all the arrivals and departures at the airport, perfect if you’re catching a flight the next day.

And at Anak Ranch, you can imitate them. You’ll find yourself in the middle of the Mongolian wilderness, which is desolate and yet somehow beautiful. The price of a room includes a tour by horseback, so mount up and see the country the way it was meant to be seen. Then head back for the night and enjoy some of the authentic, homegrown food they’ll serve up to you. And while your yurt was designed to break down and move pretty easily, it’s more than sturdy enough to withstand anything nature throws at it while you get a good night’s sleep to prep for tomorrow’s adventure.

Top 50 Best Party Cities in the World
THE 50 BEST PARTY CITIES IN THE WORLD Too many people have too many ideas about what makes for a good vacation spot – food, scenery, local history, arts and culture, etc. – but we here at Guyism know you care more about one thing than any other: the partying. Yes, we know you’re looking to have a good time without having to contend with snot nosed brats running around everywhere or grandpa with his camera taking pictures of every old brick in town. And on that note, and because we love you, we’re pleased to bring you this: the 50 best party cities in the world. 50 Chicago, USA Good beer, good food and lots and lots of young, successful people tends to equal fun, and so it’s no surprise that Chicago earns a spot on this list. In addition to the land based parties, Chicago’s location on Lake Michigan also means lots of boat parties and what better way to sweat out a hangover than by lying on the beach surrounded by girls in bikinis? 49 Pattaya, Thailand Pattaya isn’t the world’s top party place – although it does have a thriving nightlife scene – but what it is, is perhaps the most debauched place in the world. It has been referred to as “Sexual Disneyland” and has a reputation as a city that caters to every conceivable sexual appetite. It’s basically the city version of that freaky orgy scene in 300. 48 Lima, Peru By day, Lima is a great place to unwind and chill on its beautiful beaches. By night, Lima’s club scene comes alive, and will wear you out so that all that day lounging becomes necessary. The Miraflores area in particular is known for its club scene, with places like Gotica and Aura situated along the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean where you can get drunk just like Pizarro probably did back in the day. 47 Krakow, Poland Poland has become a hot spot in recent years behind the old Iron Curtain, and perhaps no place is more party-mad than Krakow. It’s got plenty of bars and nightclubs and the best part is that many of them stay open until the wee hours of the morning, especially in the town’s main square. Just try to avoid making any screen door on battleship jokes. 46 Copenhagen, Denmark It takes a while for Copenhagen to really come alive, but once it does – usually past midnight or so – it stays alive through the night. The people are friendly, and the best part for any young dude...
