To all travellers and hostelgoers: How old were you when you started traveling & staying in hostels? How old are you now, and do you still travel? How old would you consider " too old" to stay in a youth / party focused hostel?
first time i stayed in a hostel o was 17. hated it, 18 years later still haven't stayed in another one.
it wasn't the hostel's fault, or the people that were there-they were nice enough and it was a very nice, clean hostel in inverness, i just despise sharing my space with strangers.
but to each there own. :)

Started traveling alone once I was 14 (drove with a few friends all across switzerland from Zurich to Locarno on our Mopeds (those fucking things with 49CCM and can't officially go faster than 30 KPH well before a nice tuning)
Firs time in a Hostel was with 15 in London (that was the first time I got blackout drunk in my life)
Today I'm 32, still traveling around the world (greetings from Cusco) when ever I can and stay where ever I end up.
I enjoy to stay in a party hostels, camping or getting pampered in 5* Hotel as I can afford it.
I'm probably too old for party hostels, but I don't give a fuck I love to party so I stay there.
I started travelling at a young age, but with family and going to theme park and all around California and sometimes out of state. I started my real, travel adventure and stayed at hostels until I turned 19.
I am 20 and I am at the right age range to continue to stay in hostels. I just prefer them over hotels. Even if I had money to spend a few nights, I will always opt for the hostel since the experience of meeting new people in dorms and bars is something you can't get in a hotel.

Started travelling somewhat later due to financial and other reasons - at 26. Now closing in on 30.
Felt borderline old in certain party hostels. Still feeling young in other hostels - much depends on the destination. For example, even at 26 I was clearly older than average in an Australian party hostel, whereas I felt young to average in Romania and Georgia at 28. The more perceived barriers, the older the visitors.

Travelled Europe for 2 months when I was 34. Didn't feel out of place at all. I look a fair bit younger than I am though.

I was 19, oldest I was was 25
I'd say 30 is the absolute cutoff

Started at 22 im 27 now. Yes I do still travel and you stop visiting those hostels whenever you feel like you don't enjoy the ambiance anymore.
