Besides doing thorough research on a safe, comfortable hostel, here are some tips for making your stay as comfortable as possible.

Just last week in my Having It All When Your Budget Is Limited, I mentioned that traveling is a huge priority of mine for 2015. Well, just a few days ago I booked a trip to Belize. {insert scream and Madonna's "La Isla Bonita"}.
I previously traveled to Belize a few years ago and when Secret Flying {check them out for last minute deals} had a flight for less than $350, I jumped on it. Besides saving on flights, I also save major cash by traveling light, because who really has time to pay for checked baggage fees?!
Check out how to go on on a week long trip and pack a single carry-on. Yes, it's absolutely possible to pack light and even have room in your bag to bring back souvenirs.
