Hostel Experiences
Hostel Experiences are fun, humor filled, skills based common room events designed for student and twenty something travelers. The goal is simple. Help guests connect naturally, get clear on what they want from this journey, and leave feeling more steady, present, and open to the moments that make travel unforgettable.
About Shana
I am Shana Bloom, a licensed mental health counselor and life coach. I have spent over a decade working with teens and twenty somethings in schools and private practice, supporting transitions, confidence building, and finding direction.
Why I do this:
-
I love working with teens and twenty somethings who are living out their dreams in real time.
-
I have spent over a decade supporting this age group through transitions, confidence building, and finding direction.
-
I backpacked when I was younger, so I understand that travel can be exhilarating, challenging, and sometimes lonely, and I want travelers to feel supported while they build memories that last.
What hostels get:
Community
A simple, welcoming format that helps guests meet naturally, so the hostel feels warmer, friendlier, and more alive.

Built in shareable moments that spark tags, stories, reels, and reviews, plus consistent user generated content that keeps your hostel showing up online.
Confidence
Stronger social proof that helps future travelers trust the vibe, feel like they belong, and book with confidence.
What travelers get:
Connection
Simple tools to meet people in a low pressure way, so the common room feels easier and more human.
Clarity
A clearer sense of what they want from this journey, plus a Roadmap that helps them notice their own breadcrumbs and nudges along the way.
