I was very fortunate to travel out of my country once. I stayed in a hostel because it was the only affordable option, but I fell in love with the atmosphere. I realized one day, my country could open up and travelers would come looking for hostels and not find any.

So I began working on Song of Travel – an affordable hostel with a social atmosphere and a social mission. We opened in November 2015 – the fourth hostel in our country, the first hostel in Inle Lake, and the first 100% locally-owned and 100% sustainably-operated hostel.

Give you the opportunity to meet like-minded travelers, become part of local life, and to connect to Inle Lake, our culture, and our people.
