What You Get
Nothing beats heading out on an epic travel adventure with just a few of your belongings in a backpack and a bucket list of places to see and things to do. That's what drives Hostelling International and our 3.3 million members around the world (over 22,000 of them in Canada!). Be a part of this global community.
We're not going to tell you how to travel—we'll just help you save money along the way so you can travel more and longer. Whether you're travelling just for fun, volunteering or studying abroad, an HI membership gets you access to a community of likeminded adventure-seekers wherever you end up.
Travelling with an HI Membership means:
- Saving a minimum of 10% at 3,300 hostels in 64 countries
- Being part of a global community of travelers
- Thousands of travel discounts in Canada and worldwide
Travel Far and Save Lots
You can start tapping into Hostelling International's huge network of discounts the moment you get your membership card and keep saving while you travel and long after you get back.
