Who we are

Most stories start with a voice. BHostel started with a feeling—of being lost, in-between, and not quite home.

Born from a solo trip and a deep need to connect, BHostel began as an idea in the quiet corners of hostels around the world. Creator and host Bryant Perkins didn’t just want to tell travel stories—he wanted to explore the human ones. What happens when strangers share a room, a meal, or a moment that reshapes them? What if the most important part of travel wasn’t where you go, but how you feel while getting there?

This is the soul of BHostel: a podcast that gives sound to silence, purpose to pause, and voice to the quiet truths that live between bedsheets and border crossings.

BHostel shares real hostel stories from travelers around the world. If you've ever backpacked, couch surfed, or dreamed of a one-way ticket — this podcast brings you into the rooms where it all happens.
