Irgendwo auf dieser Welt ist eine Insel, auf der seit 60 Jahren kein Mensch war. Eine andere, auf der 300 Menschen mit Pfeil und Bogen schießen, wenn du dich näherst. Und eine dritte, auf der pro Quadratmeter eine giftige Schlange wartet.Jochen hat eine Liste mitgebracht.Aber zuerst kommt er entspannt rein. War bei der Thai Massage. Michi kommt aus dem Pilates. Der Geruch eines Thai Massagesalons reicht schon. Sofort ist man weg.Dann geht es um Rick Rubin, den Mann hinter Johnny Cash, den Red Hot Chili Peppers, HipHop und Slayer. Und um ein Buch über Kreativität, das Jochen nicht nacheinander liest, sondern immer wieder aufschlägt. Warum Erfolg Glückssache ist, wie man zu sich selbst findet in der Kunst - und warum das eigentlich eine gute Nachricht ist.Zudem: Georgien allein als Frau, ein Kurztrip nach Südfrankreich und die Weekender-Card.

Hostel owners should not think they own Ghana just because they have built hostels. The law will take its course. - Frederick Opoku, Acting Rent Commissioner.

Core ConceptBuy when others are scared: Michael bought post-2008 and during COVID, using fear-driven discounts to build a $20M portfolio.STRs → Hostels: Started with Airbnbs in Hawaii, then pivoted to hostels due to regulation limits and desire for a more scalable, centralized operation.Hostel strategy: Not “cheapest bed” but best social experience—design-forward common areas, events, and strong community vibe.Economics: Same-size room can earn more per night with bunks (e.g., $480 vs. $200), plus partial occupancy still produces strong revenue.Returns & risk: Targets ~20%+ IRR, 2–3x equity multiple, but with higher risk, longer holds (5–10 years), and heavier operations vs. multifamily.Big lesson: Don't do your first hospitality deal solo—partner or get a mentor/mastermind to avoid costly mistakes.Portfolio fit: Hospitality offers a hybrid of strong cash flow + equity upside if you can execute on both real estate and the operating business.

IMMERSIVE - The Soundscapes of Oaxaca, Mexico - Colourful Streets, The Zocalo, Busy Markets + A Local Food TourOaxaca, Mexico, had been on my travel list for years, and in 2024, I finally got the chance to experience it for myself. In this immersive soundscape episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I take you with me through the colourful streets, lively markets, rooftop cafés and buzzing Zócalo of one of the most atmospheric cities I've ever visited.This episode is all about slowing down and soaking in the vibe of Oaxaca through sound, food and real-time reactions. You'll hear church bells echo through courtyards, market vendors shouting across packed stalls, sizzling street food being cooked fresh in front of me and the energy of locals and travellers filling the city streets from morning until night.I wander through the historic centre trying incredible coffee, exploring famous landmarks like the Oaxaca Cathedral and Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzmán, before diving headfirst into Oaxaca's legendary food scene. From tlayudas and mole to mezcal tastings and local market snacks, this city absolutely lived up to every bit of hype I had built up in my head over the years.Honestly, this became one of my favourite cities I visited during my Central America and Mexico trip. The colours felt brighter, the food tasted richer and the atmosphere was unlike anywhere else I've travelled before. Oaxaca gave me that rare feeling where a destination genuinely exceeds your expectations.So put your headphones in and come walk the streets of Oaxaca with me.

Nach dem Remake ist vor dem Remake. Quasi. Zumindest, wenn wir uns das 2006er Prequel namens THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE BEGINNING anschauen. Der Film hatte nicht die Klasse von Nispels Remake, weiß aber trotzdem zu gefallen, vor allem mit seiner hyperbrutalen Gewaltdarstellung holte der Film die in der Zwischenzeit durch Filme wie SAW und HOSTEL wiedergeborene Splatterfangemeinde ab. Wie uns der Film gefallen hat, erfahrt ihr in Folge 424.

In this interview from the 2026 IHIF EMEA conference, CoStar News Hotels' Terence Baker speaks with Navneet Bali, founder and CEO of LyvInn Hotels, who explains his goal of gearing his hostel-hotel brand toward the growing number of young, IT-savvy European travelers.

Sänger und Songwriter BERQ ist zu Gast im Podcast Music Made in Germany: Neu und Frisch mit Julian Eckhartt – und das Gespräch wird schnell persönlicher als gedacht. Wir sprechen über seine Reise nach Costa Rica, das Gefühl, plötzlich „Reisen“ wirklich neu zu entdecken, und darüber, wie es ist, auch fernab von Deutschland erkannt zu werden. Gleichzeitig gibt BERQ ehrliche Einblicke in seinen Alltag als Künstler – zwischen Studio, Songwriting und der Vorbereitung auf kommende Live-Shows. Besonders spannend: BERQ spricht offen darüber, dass er sich selbst nie als klassischen Bühnenmenschen gesehen hat und wie er sich erst nach und nach an das Performen vor Publikum gewöhnt hat. Außerdem geht es um kreative Prozesse, Schreibblockaden und den Druck, wenn Ideen einfach mal ausbleiben. Warum 90 Prozent manchmal nicht reichen, wie seine Songs entstehen und weshalb er Inspiration oft in alten Texten und ungewöhnlichen Worten findet – all das hört ihr in dieser Folge. Eine ehrliche, unterhaltsame Episode über Kreativität, Selbstzweifel und den Weg, seinen eigenen Sound zu finden.

Sharing my experiences staying at a hostels in Europe.

„Brich aus der Norm aus. Verändere Deinen lyf-Style“ Der Reiseradio Talk über eine Hotelmarke mit neuer Philosophie Podcast: lyf-style and Co-Living Banken und Business – Skyline von Frankfurt am Main – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD „Der neue Weg dazu zu gehören“ Vangelis Porikis – Head of Corporate Services & lyf Europe – Foto: The Ascott Limited Hotels Das ist mal eine Ansage. Neue Generationen wollen offensichtlich andere Hotels. Gleichwohl schätzen Angehörige von „Generation X“ und „Generation Z“ weiterhin Hotels und deren Service. Das ergab eine, in den letzten Wochen veröffentlichte, Untersuchung und Umfrage bei der Zielgruppe. Nur meinen die Angehörigen dieser Generationen dasselbe wie andere, wenn sie von Hotels reden? Das ist für Hotelbetreiber und Hotelgruppen auf der einen Seite beruhigend und gleichzeitig auch herausfordernd. Denn es stellt sich die Frage, wie das gewünschte Angebot den aussehen soll. Es gibt inzwischen schon einige Angebote und dazugehörige Marken, die versuchen, diese neue Hotelphilosophie umzusetzen. Herausfinden, was begehrt ist Eventuell aber gibt es sogar genau das, was jüngere Kundschaft will, bereits als Produkt? Darüber rede ich mit Vangelis Porikis, Head of Corporate Services & lyf Europe bei der Hotelgruppe The Ascott Limited. lyf oder “live your freedom”  Eine Abkürzung in Schen Lifestyle wird zum Produktnamen. Die Hotelgruppe „The Ascott Limited“, zuhause in Singapur, hat sowohl Namen als auch Konzept entwickelt und präsentiert mit dem „lyf-East Frankfurt“ das erste Haus in Deutschland. Der Ursprung ist in Asien und auch in Australien gibt es schon erfolgreich laufende Häuser der Marke. Lyf – East Frankfurt und sein „Quartier“ Anziehungspunkt Ostend Franfurt: EZB – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Das Haus liegt im seit einigen Jahren immer stärker angesagten Frankfurt Ostend. Der Stadtteil war früher geprägt durch Industriebetriebe, kleine Fabriken, den Osthafen der Stadt und die dort angesiedelte Großmarkthalle. Alles hat seine Zeit. Die Fabriken verschwanden. Die Großmarkthalle ist jetzt der Eingangsbereich der Europäischen Zentralbank. In die Fabriklofts zogen Werbe- und PR-Agenturen, Autohäuser gefragter Marken, von BMW über Mercedes-Benz und Audi bis Tesla. Ich schätze mal, das ist ein guter Platz, um sich anzusiedeln. Konkurrenz Der Wandel des Frankfurter Ostends brachte auch Restaurants und Hotels ins Viertel. Hier findet man neben anderen: 25 hours, Scandic, Hampton by Hilton, Innside, Motel One, moxy, B&B, A&O Hotels & Hostels. Junge Marken, alle mit einem besonderen Konzept. Folglich geht es im Hotel-TALK auch um die Unterschiede, die Philosophie und – es geht ja ums Verkaufen der Produkte – den USP (Unique Selling Point = Alleinstellungsmerkmal). Hier passt das lyf zu 100 Prozent in die Landschaft. Und dort sticht auch seine Fassade aufs Feinste heraus. Besonders überzeugend sieht das am Abend aus. Modern, stylisch und trotzdem einladend. lyf East Frankfurt: Hier geht’s lang – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann /ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD USP und Markencharakter Ich lese in der Markencharakterisierung über die Zielgruppe: lyf is for the go-getters, the dreamers, the trend-setters and those with a thirst for authenticity. Aha, aber was ist eine Hotelmarke für Macher, Träumer, Trendsetter und alle mit einem Durst auf Authentizität? Was damit gemeint ist erzählt Vangelis Porikis im Podcast. Co-Living Panoptikum: Für Meetings und Konferenzen – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD lyf sei ein Co-Living-Konzept, das es digitalen Nomaden, Technopreneuren, Kreativen und Autodidakten ermöglicht, “ihre Freiheit” in einer dynamischen Umgebung zu leben. Die Zimmer sind gemütlich, klein aber völlig ohne Schnick-Schnack. Letzterem kann man in dem Co-Living-Bereichen begegnen. Dazu gehört nicht nur die Co-Working Zone (Connect), sondern auch ein Konferenzraum (Panoptikum), zwei Co-Living-Küchen (Bond), in denen man als Gast eigene Mahlzeiten zubereiten kann, ein Event- und Wohnraum (Huddle) und für alle Aktiven mit Burn einen gut ausgestatteten Fitnessraum im Keller. Alle Räume lassen sich wahlweise für Zusammenkünfte, Seminare oder auch Partys exklusiv buchen. Dazu kommt noch, für sonnige Nachmittage eine Dachterrasse mit Sitzgelegenheiten. Private-Living Gemütlich – Praktisch – Klein: Mein Zimmer im lyf East Frankfurt – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Die Zimmer sind ziemlich klein, bieten aber ALLES was man braucht. Vielleicht ist die „Enge“ dort gleichzeitig eine Aufforderung sich innerhalb des Hauses dem CO-Living zu widmen. Bauliche Struktur Hotelfassade mit den Social-Living Bereichen am Abend – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Das architektonische Geheimnis liegt in der Unterteilung der durch die Glasfront lichtdurchfluteten Gemeinschaftsräume im vorderen Teil des Hauses und (auch akustisch) abgetrennt die Zimmer. Seitenbereich des Hotels mit den Zimmern – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Diese Kombination bietet insbesondere für Gäste, die länger bleiben Rückzugsmöglichkeiten im Zimmer auf der einen und die Möglichkeit sozialer Kontakte in den Gemeinschaftsbereichen. Gastronomisches Angebot Restaurant “leuchtendroter” – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD  Hier hat man sich Partner ins Boot geholt für das Restaurant „Leuchtendroter“. Hier wird abends vegane Küche zelebriert (gehobene Preise!). Die Betreiber sind auch zuständig für das Frühstückangebot, wahlweise am „Kiosk“ in der Eingangshalle oder als Frühstücksbüffet im Restaurant.

Den Hotelplanern ist es wichtig, das Haus auch für die ganze Nachbarschaft zu öffnen. Im „Neighborhood-Gedanken“ spiegelt sich die Philosophie, das Hotel als integralen Bestandteil des Stadtviertels zu sehen. Für die Gäste auch Kontakt zu den Menschen der Umgebung zu bekommen und umgekehrt. Dies geschieht mit unterschiedlichsten Veranstaltungen im Haus, von Lesungen, über Konzerte, bis hin zu Yoga-Stunden und Kursen. Das „vegane Ostend“ trifft sich auch regelmäßig im Restaurant. Am Abend meiner Übernachtung, gab es dort nicht einen einzigen freien Platz. Preise Nach der Führung durchs Hotel: Rezeption heisst “Say Hi!” – Foto: ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Wenn man, wie ich mit Kleingruppe, in der absoluten Nebensaison (Freitag im Januar) übernachtet, trifft auf günstige Übernachtungspreise ab 58 Euro pro Doppelzimmer. Wenn Frankfurt voll ist (Messe, Konzerte etc.) sind die Zimmerpreise, am Markt orientiert, natürlich höher. Vangelis Porikis betont aber, dass man durch die östliche Randlage (trotz guter ÖPNV-Anbindung) immer etwas günstiger sein könne. Völlig überzogene Zimmerpreise, die die Konkurrenz durchaus aufrufe, lehne er aber ab. Der weitere lyf-Weg Der Ausbau der Hotelzahl ist in Europa erst im Aufbau. Bisher gibt es nur drei Hotels (Wien, Paris, Frankfurt) und damit erst ein Haus in Deutschland. Absicht sei es aber, die Marke zu verankern und die Hotelzahl bis 2030 auf mindestens  30 Hotels wachsen zu lassen. Eine echte Herausforderung.

Oliver Winter, CEO von A&O Hostels (K#628) Wie funktioniert das Geschäft mit den Hostels? In dieser Episode des Kassenzone.de-Podcasts spreche ich mit Oliver Winter, dem CEO von A&O Hostels, einem der führenden Hostel-Betreiber in Europa. A&O Hostels betreibt mittlerweile 44 Standorte in 30 Städten und bietet mehr als 30.000 Betten an. Wir tauchen ein in die Entwicklung des Unternehmens, das ursprünglich als Backpacker-Hostel startete und sich heute als eine Mischung aus Budget-Hotel und Jugendherberge versteht. Oliver erläutert, wie A&O eine Vielzahl von Zielgruppen anzieht – von Schulklassen über junge Reisende bis hin zu Geschäftsreisenden und Handwerkern, die auf der Suche nach kostenwirksamen Übernachtungsmöglichkeiten sind. Wir sprechen über die verschiedenen Zimmerkonzepte, die A&O anbietet, einschließlich der Mehrbettzimmer, die ein zentrales Element des Hostels darstellen und als kostengünstige Übernachtungsmöglichkeiten für jüngere Gäste dienen. Zudem diskutieren wir, wie die Preisgestaltung in der Branche funktioniert und wie A&O durch die Automatisierung von Prozessen und die Nutzung ehemaliger Gebäude Kosten sparen kann, um wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben. Oliver hebt hervor, wie wichtig es ist, ein sicheres, sauberes und preiswertes Übernachtungserlebnis in teuren Städten zu bieten. Das Gespräch berührt auch die Herausforderungen, vor denen die Hostels in Zeiten von Corona standen, einschließlich Kostensenkungsmaßnahmen und der Anpassung an veränderte Marktbedingungen. Oliver beleuchtet, wie A&O in der Lage war, sich während der Pandemie neu zu orientieren und flexiblere Buchungsprozesse einzuführen. Obwohl sich die Branche verändert hat, glaubt er fest an die Zukunft des Reisens und die anhaltende Nachfrage nach Hostel-Angeboten, insbesondere bei jungen Menschen Partner in der Folge: https://linktr.ee/kassenzone Community: https://kassenzone.de/discord Feedback zum Podcast?

The Munsons gather to sarcastically temper our excitement as we dive into the career of the impossibly handsome Jay Hernandez—a task made nearly impossible as we spend most of the episode reconciling with just how damn good-looking he is and why Hollywood repeatedly cast him as “the hot guy.” Given his history in sports films, we're genuinely shocked he's never shown up in a basketball movie, though we admit it's tough for anyone to stand out in a sports ensemble. We dig into his remarkably average box office snapshot and wonder whether his Munson Meter score will land just as squarely in the middle. His filmography spans a surprisingly wide range of projects, but does he have the acting range to match? We debate his ability to play menacing (we're not convinced) and note his clear love for playing Marines. We revisit our first watches of Hostel to see if it holds up two decades later, and after covering Quarantine, we dive into the larger philosophy of found-footage films and how the format can be done well. We also question his decision to join Suicide Squad, why his character turned out so flat, and the logic behind teaming up with David Ayer again afterward. Finally, we look ahead at what's next for Hernandez post-Magnum P.I.—will he get locked into steady TV roles, or is a future full of producing credits waiting for him? How does he rank on the Munson Meter? Listen to find out.

Matt Dillon is Jack in The House that Jack Built (2018), a seriously mean movie. Great Horror movies can often be a bummer. Vicious, unrelenting, and cruel films that deny us the happy ending and the victorious fist pump. Many horror fans, and a couple of the podcasters for The Scariest Things in particular, seek these films out. We are crossing bridges too far. No punch pulling. Beware and behold Episode 205: Mean Horror. The caveats associated with the “recommendations” presented in this episode have caveats of their own. These are the films that may make you regret your movie selection decisions. Grim. Brutal. Emotionally taxing. These movies have merit, but these aren’t movies meant to be enjoyed. Quite the opposite, actually. These movies strip your soul and make you ponder the darkness in society. Often, these movies are human-on-human horror, delivering cruelty that only we can inflict on ourselves. Just know we will be following up soon with the salve for the emotional wounds that come with our “Feel Good” episode to help you recover. Here are the criteria we used in picking our movies. The movie does not require compliance with all the listed criteria, but if the movie contains many of these themes, then it would qualify for our selections. Bad things happen to innocent people. Repeatedly. The protagonists often don’t survive the movie. Evil wins. The ending is a bummer. There is little humor in the movie. Typically, people would not describe this movie as “fun.” The movie may be pervasively depressing and nihilistic. There is little hope in the movie. The movie has an emotional impact. Note that this is not a reflection of the quality of the movies. Many of them are very good and critically appreciated. They also don’t need to be gory to be mean, though they often are. The Podcast: Episode 205: Mean Horror With those caveats and warnings: brace yourselves. It’s time for MEAN HORROR. For similar content, check our Bridge Too Far Infographics.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Oliver Winter, CEO and Founder of a&o Hostels, for an inspiring conversation about his entrepreneurial journey, from traveling on a shoestring budget to building one of the largest hostel brands in the world. We talk about his focus on being a cost leader, not a price leader, and how that translates to a guest experience that works for small pockets while still serving the needs of his guests. Oliver also shares his passion for sustainability and how his company has been able to move from an 18-kilogram per guest carbon footprint to just a 3.8-kilogram per guest carbon footprint. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How Oliver turned his personal travel experiences into founding one of the largest hostel brands in Europe Why being a cost leader (rather than just a price leader) shapes a&o Hostels' unique value proposition and guest experience What makes the hostel guest experience distinctive, especially in terms of shared spaces, social atmosphere, and accommodation variety How a&o Hostels attracts diverse customer segments―from student groups to families, digital nomads, and backpackers―and the distribution strategies that work for them Why sustainability became a central focus for a&o Hostels, and how they've reduced their carbon footprint by over 80% per guest overnight What's next for a&o Hostels, including the big announcement of a new luxury budget brand to extend their reach and serve evolving traveler needs Creating Value Without Compromise One of the cornerstone philosophies for a&o Hostels is being a "cost leader," not just a "price leader." This means that they streamline operations and get rid of unnecessary frills while keeping the essentials, like comfort and safety, readily accessible. The hostels boast large capacities (an average of 800 beds per location), centralized operations, and shared facilities, striking a balance between affordability and a vibrant, social guest experience. Rather than confining the traveler's experience to private rooms, a&o focuses on engaging common areas, such as 24/7 bars, kids' zones, and flexible working spaces. These communal amenities give great opportunities for people to connect, appealing to families, digital nomads, student groups, and backpackers. The model values shared spaces over luxury and, in doing so, builds community. Evolving Guest Profiles and Modern Distribution Channels a&o Hostels caters to a wide range of guests, with profiles shifting based on season and day of the week. Midweek guests are often student groups and school tours, while weekends and holidays attract families and independent travelers. The brand is found on major OTAs like Booking.com and Expedia, but has also cultivated a strong direct booking channel via their own website. The flexibility in room types, from single or twin rooms for teachers and families to dorm-style accommodations for groups, further enhances their accessibility. This adaptable approach enables a&o to welcome anyone from school-aged travelers to budget-conscious business guests. Sustainability as a Core Company Value Beginning in 2015, Oliver and his team took a pioneering approach by closely tracking and reducing their carbon footprint per guest. Initially, a&o's footprint was already lower than average (18kg CO₂e per overnight stay, compared to 25kg at home), primarily thanks to shared spaces and efficient building use. But instead of settling, a&o set their sights higher. Through targeted operational changes—reducing waste, switching to renewable energy contracts, limiting disposables, and leveraging automation—they slashed their footprint by 80% to just 3.8kg per guest. What's more, many sustainability initiatives actually resulted in cost savings, debunking the myth that going green is always expensive.

Both of Dan's stories come from Thailand. Thailand has a LOT of supernatural stories!  We begin in Bangkok where we explore an abandoned and supposedly haunted skyscraper.  Then, we'll head to one of Thailand's biggest college campuses, Chiang Mai University, to examine a few of the resident spirits there. And learn a bit about the relationship between Thai culture and the spirit world along the way.  Then, Lynze has three very different stories this week. We begin in a hospital with a patient who raises hell in life... and maybe in death. Then, we head to Nevada to hear one persons harrowing tale of being chased in the dark. We wrap up this week in Sweden where a young man hopes to get lucky with a new love interest but goes home with something far more interesting! Scared To Death LIVE! 5th Annual Halloween Show!  https://www.moment.co/scaredtodeath/scaredtodeath-true-tales-of-hallows-eve-5Do you want to get all of our episodes a WEEK early, ad free?
