Same with hostels by the way. Back in the day when I did most of my (basically tramp style) backpacking there were all these cheap nice hostels where you basically couldn't complain and also would not because you knew these were not run with a commercial mindset.

These days not so much, but I guess I am becoming an old cynic 😑

That's better than being a young cynic

IIUC 'in the heart of every cynic lies a disappointed idealist', in any case the relation between the two is worth keeping an eye out for

Reminds me of a tweet I saw once:

Unlike you jaded pessimists I still have the ability to feel optimistic about something even after a lifetime of disappointment. And you know why? Because I’m stupid.
