I give to HI USA because the world needs more kindness, compassion, and understanding. There’s nothing quite like a hostel experience to encourage one to get comfortable with people who are different than them, and our world needs that more than ever right now.

Alexandra Escobar, Donor

I am a loyal supporter of HI USA and actively participate in growing activities such as the Explore the World Travel Scholarship program, (as well as) development of the hostels in Richmond and New Orleans. I thank HI USA for its quest to inspire international understanding and tolerance in the world!
