About Hostelling International Canada
We speak different languages, but we're all in this together. Hostels were designed to lower the barriers to travel, because we believe travel fosters a deeper understanding of people, places, and the world around. It's our mission to promote a community of global citizens who have the wisdom and humanity to make the world a better place, and that's what makes hostels the first choice for experienced travelers.
In hostels, you're more likely to meet someone from the other side of the world than someone from your hometown. Our shared kitchens, dining rooms and lounges ensure plenty of opportunities to connect with other travelers, and with hostel events and programs ranging from casual outings to rich cultural activities we help you get to know the destination as we do, beyond what you'll find in guidebooks.
The best part is you don't have to travel far or study abroad to experience hostels for yourself. Our affordable hostels are located in converted mansions, reinvented lighthouses and historic buildings reclaimed in the spirit of discovery and community all across the country.
Hostelling International USA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership organization founded in 1934 to promote international understanding of the world and its people through hostelling.
