The dynamics of living in a hostel are very interesting. People circulate through pretty quickly. The turn over rate for rooms is two days to a little over a week. Short stays mostly. I've been here a week and many people have come and gone, but a few that I have gotten to know will leave in the next few days. And all the while new people are coming and are leaving. I'm a constant though. And there are a few others, like shima and sedat, which is great, but it's weird to watch travelers come and go. The great thing is meeting all these different people and hearing about where they have been. I think it will have a great effect on me being as I admire many of these brave people for the things they have done. It makes my journey seem maybe a bit inconsequential in comparison, but I think it's really more about what you choose to take from it. And, since this is really my first swing at traveling or traveling independently I guess, I am okay with that. It doesn't need to be crazy or dangerous or risky as long as I am happy with it.
It is a step away from the bubbles that I have been living in all my life and that is really what I am looking for.
