My name is Cade Spencer and I'm a hairdresser. I recently have been interested in exploring new places and have been avidly travelling around.

I've had an exhilarating experience, as I found new friends, tried great authentic dishes, danced to amazing local bands and explored some fascinating sites.
Apart from the amazing scenery, vibrant culture and partying atmosphere, another draw for me was the lower accommodation costs, especially when compared to some hotels that can be quite pricey. I chanced upon some really fun hostels with the service and arrangements suiting my pocket, budget and convenience.
Experiencing Cartagena in a hostel truly made my journey even more memorable. I’ve had the chance to have unconstrained conversations with locals, get the opportunity to explore internal places and heard inspiring stories, each time after returning from my expeditions.
