HI-San Diego is partnering with REI's three San Diego locations to present
World Travel on a Budget..
Whether you are planning your first trip abroad or just wanting to hone your travel
skills, our volunteers will provide plenty of tips and tricks to help you get started
on your next adventure.
All workshops are FREE and open to all, starting at 7pm:

- Prowl the streets of the Gaslamp Quarter with hostellers from around the world on Wednesday, August 26, as we open the doors to our Downtown hostel for Breakfast For Dinner and Pub Crawl. You will find out interesting facts about hostelling and hostellers on our scavenger hunt, and then join our hosteller group as we visit the diverse pubs of the Gaslamp Quarter. Don't forget to wear your PJs!
- Want a quieter celebration? The gang at the Point Loma Hostel will be firing up the grill for a BBQ on Friday, August 28! The hostel, noted for its friendly atmosphere, will host the BBQ and Open House for hostellers and community members. Don't be surprised to see someone bring out the guitar to strum as everyone toasts marshmallows over the fire pit.
- Bring the whole family on Saturday, August 29, as we celebrate our Anniversary with an Ice Cream Social at the William Heath Davis House. We are blocking off Island Avenue, between 4th and 5th for an afternoon of live music, a raffle and silent auction and ice cream! The party will include opportunities to learn about hostelling's past and to take a peek at hostelling's future.
