Famous Hostels Ambassador: Italy to Switzerland
We last heard from Famous Hostels Ambassador, Stephen ‘Beaver’ Harris as he left Rome on a delayed train to Rimini - here’s what he’s been getting up to since on his epic journey around all 51 Famous Hostels in 28 countries, from Amsterdam to Zagreb.
Leaving Rome for Sunflower Hostel, Rimini
