Clink Hostels

Founder and owner of Clink Hostels

I found my calling in the Youth Travel business as a result of backpacking around the world. When my sister and I had the opportunity to open a 170-bedded hostel in the King’s Cross area of London, we jumped at the chance. For me, it combined all the things I enjoy-meeting people, travelling and creating a sense of community - a social hub.

Clink Hostels was born in 2007, when the business expanded significantly with the opening of a second London hostel of 700 beds. In August 2015 ClinkNOORD opened with 800 beds in Amsterdam. And we have a clear strategy for expansion.

Backpackers are always searching for that ‘something different’ - a new place, a new concept, a new way of looking at the world - they are early adopters, risk-takers and brave. They are a constant source of inspiration and the reason I love the industry that I am in!
