Hiker Sessions - "Huckleberry's Hostel" (One year later)

In this episode of Hiker Sessions, I sat down with good friend of the show Huckleberry, the owner of Huckleberry's Hostel, and he reflects on his first year of operation. We discuss the differences between being a hiker and a hostel owner, the mental and physical challenges he faced, and the importance of camaraderie among hikers. Huckleberry shares his insights on managing a hostel year-round, the surprises he encountered, and his plans for future improvements. The conversation also touches on the financial aspects of running a hostel, the importance of guest etiquette, and the need for respect in shared spaces. I hope you enjoy the episode!Huckleberry's Social Media:Instagram: @huckleberryshostelFacebook: @huckleberryshostelWebsite: https://www.huckleberryshostel.com/#sloggyhikes #hikersessions #atclassof2024 #appalachiantrail #baxterstatepark #katahdin #springermountain #hikemaine #optoutside #senchidesigns @hyperlite_mountain_gear @senchi.designs #hope #resilience #inspiration #hikerhostel #hostellife #hostel @huckleberryshostel #mcafeeknob #virginiatriplecrown #catawba
