Donate to HI USA

HI USA brings together countless travelers from over 100 countries in conversation and intercultural exchange every day. As a non-profit organization, we re-invest every dollar we make into making transformational travel experiences more accessible to all.

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.
