“A Cultural Exchange”. That’s pretty much describes one of the nice things about our hostel. (Among many, I hasten to add!)
We have hosted travelers from all over the world from Bulgaria to Bora Bora. At our Toronto hostel you are likely to meet a future “life-long friend” from another community, culture and country.
It happens with great regularity, right here, in downtown Toronto! For instance” we have randomly selected some comments from a Facebook site started a year or so ago by a former guest from Germany.
It already has almost a thousand members! Check out some of the comments posted just since Christmas 2009!
Bec Maddocks Thanks for the awesome experience! I am planning a trip back asap! It was great meeting all the other Aussies; it was a little reminder of home! Can’t wait to come back.
Alfa Omega Hi Everybody, I have been hosted several times at Canadiana Backpackers Inn. I am going traveling again to Toronto Next 28th March and I would like to know about events for that time. I am Carlos from Celaya, Gto. México. I hope to receive information about it and about guests in that time in order to make friends.
Stuart Neild Sh*t hot place to stay! Made friends for life here and met a hot Swedish girl! Also met: Ectic (sic) Saffas! Mad Aussies; Crazy Scots; Stinking English (Pearcey and Simon)
; Drunk Irish; OoH La La French; and some quality Canadians. (Along with half of south America and one dude who said he was from Guyana but I am sure he was from Jamaica.)
