The Oregon division of the
International Youth Hostel Fed­
eration (IYHF), part of the
Hostelling International Club, is
giving Oregonians a less expen­
sive option for world travel.
Hostelling International-
American Youth Hostels(HI-
AYH) is the American part of
IYHF. HI-AYH is a nonprofit
organization that was created to
promote international under­
standing through its hostels and
educational travel programs.
Members can stay at any of
over 5,000 hostels in more than
70 countries worldwide. The
cost for staying in the hostels is,
on average, $10-15, with a few
exceptions like New York hos­
tels that cost $22 and London,
which costs $30.
The hostels are dormitory­
type accommodations with sepa­
rate sleeping quarters for men
and women. Also, most provide
self-service kitchens and/or caf­
eterias, dining areas and com­
mon rooms for relaxing. The
local hostels also put on activi­
ties including from walking
tours, barbecues and movies.
The yearly joining fee for
IYHF is $25 for people over the
age of 18. Besides use of the
hostels themselves, you also get
access to discounts on Alamo
Rent-a-Car, 25-30 percent off
Budget and Avis car rentals,
savings throughout the U.S. and
Canada in cafes, comedy clubs,
ferry boats, etc. and other rate
cuts all over the world in trav­
eling expenses.
You will also get a local
newsletter with information
about activities and events put
on for HI-AYH members, such
as workshops on budget travel,
sailing instruction and cycling
trips.
The Oregon division of HI-
AYH is just starting their news­
letter and is having some trouble
because of lack of staffing.
However, the next newsletter
should be out sometime in the
next couple of months.
