A Smurfing good time was had by all the backpackers at Nomads Westend Backpackers Hostel, Sydney the other night. This Sydney Youth Hostel is one of the premiere hostels in Sydney throwing the best fancy dressed theme nights.

The theme this time was SMURFS and with free wine and with free blue body paint everyone was up for getting painted and having a great time… There were a bunch of Smurfs that wandered down to The Gaff from Nomads Westend Backpackers Hostel, showing their true colours. A smurfing great time was had by all the smurfs, with some of the naughty backpackers not getting back until the sun was once again shining high in the sky..

Theme nights are a regular thing here at this centrally located Sydney backpackers hostel. So if you want to find out more email Nomads Westend or stay tuned for the Ms Westend Competition which will feature all the guys in drag competing for the bragging rights and the title of Ms. Westend. 

Yes it’s true, there really is so much going on at The Fat Camel Backpackers Hostel and Bar that it’s hard to keep up with it all.

If you need to recover from the All Blacks afterparty on Saturday the 2nd August, why not spend the afternoon in the Fat Camel Bar listening to Zoh Zoh a traditional African drumming and dance band.

They’re absolutely fantastic so make sure you get here by 2pm so that you don’t miss out!

The Auckland Backpackers Bar will be open from midday on the Sunday and Zoh Zoh will be there to entertain you from 2pm until 5pm!

Nomads Industry Backpackers Hostel in Melbourne offers such a unique backpacking experience that some backpackers find it impossible to leave….

Rob considers himself quite the ladies man but his smooth talk falls on deaf ears come Friday nights at Industry Bar and Lounge when he attempts to chat up the ladies while scantily clad in his favourite pink number…

It was the weekend just gone, before World Youth Week and at this Sydney Backpackers Hostel our GLORIOUS bosses at  the centrally located Nomads Maze Youth Hostel decided to give a few of the hostel staff a long weekend holiday…!! (piss up!)

So the day started with Zorbing, to refresh us after the “most comfortable coach travel that money can buy” LOL… It seems that the management at our Sydney Backpackers don’t want to fork out the money to fly me and my colleagues 1st class!!!

We organised our trip with the help of our knowledgable colleagues at the Maze Backpackers reception and travel desk (we won’t ever recommend something we haven’t done ourselves, so you can be assured of great advice). 

Well the Zorbing went down a storm, as you can see from the pictures courtesy of this youth hostel staff members camera, which (luckily) happens to be waterproof…. (thank god or it would have cost me a years wages!) we even managed to make a video of the Zorb from the inside which looks absolutely amazing.

Really good value for money and really good fun and definitely worth the coach trip from our Sydney Backpackers Hostel.

What made the trip for me personally, was the next trip that the generous Maze Backpackers Hostel and Nomads Westend Backpackers Hostel (situated across the road from us in central Sydney) kindly organised for myself, two of our cleaners and one of the receptionists!

- The place to stay, by the way, is The Arts Factory Backpackers Lodge (Byron Bay). It’s a fantastic place set in 5 acres of subtropical “jungle”, with a range of accommodation from Island Bungalows, teepees, dorms or private rooms! 

To find out more about our trip, which included a visit to world famous Nimbin, just pop into any one of our Nomads Hostels like ours - Nomads Maze Backpackers Hostel, central Sydney, rated “one of the Best Hostels in Australia” by ‘Pool Shark’ Richard Roper.

SAD TIMES AT NOMADS MAZE BACKPACKERS HOSTEL - so we are throwing a Smurf Party in their honour!!

At The Maze Backpackers Accommodation, Sydney we think of ourselves as a welcoming community, and some of the most warming were in fact the Paddys’ and they are one of the longest serving groups at our Sydney youth hostel.

Having been at this Centrally located Backpackers Hostel for almost a year they’ve left a fair few marks….

I know I should be writing about the hostel and what we do and where we go out, but this is why you should stay at our Nomads Maze Backpackers in Sydney… We like to think we attract the friendliest and nicest backpackers out there.

Be part of the Nomads Family and come and visit us at Nomads Maze Backpackers Hostel in central Sydney to see why our Irish friends stayed with us for so long!

Nomads Industry backpackers were tied up in knots last night as they joined in the Mad Ass games run by our bright and bubbly entertainer Katie-Jo.

The party action kicked off around 8 PM with James Brown cranked on the sound system and the outrageously cheap drinks helping to break the ice for the games to come.

The Nomads Industry Backpackers Hostel guests bent over backwards in a game of limbo with Ollie proving to be the most agile backpacker winning himself a FREE Great Ocean Road tour with Bunyip Tours.

Next a tangled game of Twister had onlookers howling in laughter as the Melbourne backpackers got up close and personal; hands, feet and faces venturing where they never dared before…

Despite the stiff competition Ollie was once again crowned Twister champion this time scoring himself a Bunyip Tour of Wilsons Promontory.

Come join us next Wednesday for more crazy fun and games at  Melbourne’s funnest backpackers hostel and you too could walk away with FREE day tours.

Don’t forget that Nomads Fat Camel Backpackers Hostel Auckland has 4 strippers coming this Thursday 10th July. We have a few tickets still available so call us quick on 0800 220 198.

We’re also very excited to be talking with Zoh Zoh a traditional African drumming and dance band who will be playing in the Fat Camel Bar that Thursday. So while all the ladies are upstairs meeting firemen and sailors, the men won’t feel too left out!

It seems that there has been a questioning of the gender of certain members of Nomads backpackers hostels Sydney!

We are sorry to tell our loyal readers that we must now finally be recognised as two of the premier party hostels in the country due to the success of our far from straight long termers!! In case you dont remember they are Nomads Westend Backpackers Hostel and Nomads Maze Backpackers Hostel located in Central Sydney on Pitt Street.

Now I can talk about what really happens in these two party hostels in the city….

Tuesday was World Bar night, and in almost typical fashion, we had a cross dressing night…. Frrreeee Champpaaggnnee… people!! There is method to this Nomad’s Hostel’s Entertainers absolute and utter madness…. free wine warmed up the night and as the photos of some of the guys show, we had a blast. 

With the backpackers lapping up the goon provided by The Maze Backpackers Hostel we decided to catch the Party Bus straight through the cross (which is where you shouldn’t stay by the way!!BORING) past burger fuel (AMAZING -orgasmic- burgers!!) and to The World Bar.. Everyone from the Nomads Backpackers Hostel went straight in and got their drinks and were soon ushered towards The Karaoke Room to hear me and friends sing ………………Gloria Gaynor

          …….I Will Survive

It turns out that, Maze Backpackers are NOT shy, in fact, far from it…

The imfamous World Bar Teapots were in fashion last night, especially due to the fact that both the Nomads Property’s in Sydney - The Maze and Westend give us loads of discount vouchers, like $10 teapots..!

  Thats right, we loooovvve $10 Teapots

And then by the end of the night the sexy looking lads succumbed to their masculine tendancies!! Heres a couple of pictures from taken from the eyes of our Nomads bosses!!! argh….. ugly tree springs to mind!!

And the kiss from that lovely, young sober lady there, will end this little chapter of the average day at Nomads Maze Backpackers Hostel with the entertaining and obviously stimulating STAFF!!!
