Have you recently returned from a meaningful trip and are looking to share your experience with others? Or perhaps you'd like to revisit an adventure from years past? Hostelling International- Northwest Portland is looking for presenters for our monthly Travel Stories Nights in Portland. Twice a month, world travelers share their travel tales and photos with hostel guests and community members in an informal slide show at both Portland hostels.
We are looking for people who have a passion for travel and love to share their travel tales and photos. You will put together a 20- to 30-minute slideshow, and be ready for questions during or after the presentation. Our Travel Stories Nights take place on 2nd Monday of each month at the HI-Portland, Northwest Hostel
Email Kristal at volunteer@nwportlandhostel.com for more information.

We are excited to hear your travel story!

The Hostelling International - Portland, Northwest Hostel is affiliated with Hostelling International USA, a nonprofit organization with the mission "to help all, especially the young, gain a greater understanding of the world and its people through hostelling."

To fulfill this mission, we provide educational and recreational opportunities for people of all ages and nationalities through low-cost, high-quality accommodations and activities. Through formal programming as well as informal socializing among hostellers, we promote international awareness and understanding. The HI-Portland, Northwest Hostel was established in 1998 as a 34-bed hostel. Since then, we have expanded and now have a total of 74 dorm beds and 20 private rooms.

Hostelling International USA (registered as American Youth Hostels, Inc.) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership organization founded in 1934 to promote international understanding of the world and its people through hostelling. HI-USA is an organization driven by its mission of promoting global understanding through educational travel. Hostels, by design, are facilities that encourage interaction among their inhabitants. Common rooms, shared kitchen facilities, and small dormitory accommodations provide an environment that leads to valuable lessons in cooperative living. The very essence of the hostelling experience nurtures intercultural exchange, and it is in this context that all program content is implemented and enhanced.
