Hostel Forum Blog

As a true travel enthusiast, you don’t care much about accommodation, as long as it’s a relatively decent place to crash? Finding a place to stay is of minor importance, as you’re too busy chasing adventure, excitement, stories to tell grandchildren one day? Well, you can have all that AND a cool place to spend the night. Hostel is the word you’re looking for and here’s why:

With its ancient streets, landmarks such as St Donatus’ Church and Roman Forum, modern attractions Greetings to the Sun and Sea Organ, Zadar is a city with plenty to explore. Still, Zadar isn’t the only place in the region where human presence dates back for centuries, even millennia. There are several towns, villages and other locations near Zadar that have quite an interesting story to tell, so here are a few I-bet-you-didn’t-know’s about the cultural historical sights in Zadar region. 

The view of the sun slowly setting in the horizon as the soothing colours paint a unique image in the sky - it’s such an awe-inspiring, romantic moment to witness. Even if you don’t have that special person by your side, a beautiful sunset can give you a feeling of warmth and feel you with inspiration. You’re not into sunsets and think they’re just cheesy and for girls? Well, that might just be because you haven’t seen the most amazing sunset in the world. 

Infected with the running virus? Love the enthusiasm that never leaves you when you run? Can’t do without the strength, discipline and self-confidence that gets a boost with every training and every race? Feel like disconnecting from everyday petty worries and want to surround yourself by positive people? Well, in that case, have a look at the list of reasons why you should definitely participate in Wings for Life race in Zadar, a city that runs this spring and also happens to be Europe’s top destination this year:

Some hostels are, well, not so great. Many others are good, while some are even better. And then there’s Boutique Hostel Forum. In our hostel there’s no room for false modesty (simply because we know just how absolutely fabulous our place is), but there are plenty of rooms of different shapes, sizes and colours for any guest that might come through our front door. It’s totally awesome, and that’s a fact. 

Run, baby, run! But not to escape from anything, but rather to experience something. So, run by the calm sea, to enjoy the morning stillness. Or with the colourful night sky when the sun begins to set. Run because you want to or to rise to the challenge. To get back into shape or, even better, run for a good cause. Do it for yourself and because everybody will be doing it. In Zadar (region). This spring.

Flip-flops. The most relevant item for a holiday by the sea. Whether you go to the beach, wander around lovely Dalmatian cities and towns or go out at night, just let your summer footwear lead you to where fun is. And there sure is plenty of exciting ways to have a great time in Dalmatia, particularly in summer. So, here are a few suggestions to give you something to think about, particularly if you already can’t wait for a sunny holiday to come:

Close your eyes. Think of the sea and the clear blue sky above. It’s warm, but not scorching hot. You’re sitting on a outdoor terrace of a bar, enjoying some coffee that comes with rays of sunshine and a view of a few ancient buildings. Your curiosity is awoken by a genuine interaction between locals right before your eyes. You don’t get a word they’re saying, but who cares? 

Excitement. Adventure. Exhaustion. Petty fights. Making up. Laughter. Movement. Sharing. That’s what travelling with friends is all about. If you haven’t tried it, it’s high time you do so. And if you have already, then you know what great fun it generally is. You can easily expect the unexpected to happen, which is part of the charm, but do give your journey some thought. After all, you want to have the time of your life...
