Warning: Hostel beds aren't the steal they were before.
I remember when you could roll into any city and grab a cheap bunk. Now, popular spots are booked solid months in advance, and prices have shot up! It feels like travel was way simpler back then.
Rental cars in Phoenix were fully booked by spring for summer trips. This push to plan everything months out is changing how we travel. It feels like the era of impulsive getaways is pretty much over.
