Marco arrived at our Toronto Hostel’s door from Germany in the summer of 2011.
He quickly became a well-known emember of the hostel’s social scene due to his gregarious, thoughtful and helpful nature.
He wanted to see more of our country so he rented a car with the idea of driving to Halifax, Nova Scotia, over 1200 kms northeast to the coast of Canada.
He met Monja (also from Germany) who was also traveling and working. She jumped at the chance to drive to the coast and share fuel and food expenses.
If they had opted to travel by bus, it would have entailed a numbing 30 hour plus, non-stop ride.
This is merely another example that here at the Canadiana, friends can be made quickly and easily.
Of all the hostels in Toronto, no one is here alone for very long.
