I did it again. I wandered off the usual tourist areas while exploring the area around my youth hostel.

During my exploration of the other side of the river in Arequipa (Peru), I found out where and how the taxi drivers wash their cars. I was somehow surprised, yet how else should they wash their cars?

Youth Hostels - Checklist: Requirements and Questions
Here is my simple checklist of the most important aspects of a youth hostel. There are requirements and questions to ask myself before choosing one.
Requirements for a youth hostel
- Own (free) secure locker - for safety and peace of mind: credit card, camera, mp3 player, keys, money, etc.
- Warm water
- Staff - authentic, honest and experienced
Questions for deciding on a youth hostel
- Location - How far is the city center? How far is the bus station?
- Duration - How long will I stay there ideally?
- Price - important or not? What I am willing to pay for x?
- Mentality and offers - Do I want to relax or party? Do I want to do “canned” tours or explore on my own? With whom I wanna hang out?
