Melbourne Backpackers Hostel Nomads Industry wishes Angie from Esplanade Backpackers Hostel in Cairns a very Happy Birthday today as she clocks in at 25.

Angie recently joined the Nomads Esplanade Cairns Backpackers Hostel Team after spending 5 months in Wellington at Nomads Capital Backpackers Hostel where she bought drunken chaos and uproarious laughter into the lives of all the staff and guests.

Angie left quite the legacy behind at Nomads Capital and tales of her drunken misadventures still echo in the hallways of this Wellington Backpackers Hostel. Angie, the reigning Queen of fancy dress, and her reception cronies would often wreak havoc on Blend Bar kitted out in some ridiculous attire as they chased boys in skirts and vodka with jaeger.

Sorely missed by her Wellington counterparts Angie is now leading the team at Nomads Esplanade Backpackers Hostel in Cairns where she is no doubt doing her utmost to lead those Cairns Backpackers into temptation..

If you’re cruising around Cairns today don’t forget to stop by Nomads Esplanade Backpackers Hostel to wish Angie a Happy Birthday and to partake in what is sure to be another raucous party Angie-styles.

A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Angie from all of the Nomads Industry Backpackers Hostel crew in Melbourne!

Melbourne Backpackers Hostel Nomads Industry turned a shade of orange last Wednesday to celebrate the Dutch Queens Day, a major public holiday back in the Netherlands and the perfect excuse for another massive party at our Melbourne Backpackers Youth Hostel.

The Dutch style party was led by our very own Melbourne Backpackers Hostel Dutch intern Sabine who made sure tradition was honored with crazy Dutch games, delicious Dutch treats and an hilarious attempt at the anthem by our many non-Dutch backpackers.

The Melbourne Backpackers Hostel Bar was a sea of orange as the glowing party goers grooved on the dance-floor to the disco beat and enjoyed their mega cheap Heineken.

Our orange party shakers laughed the night away and a fun filled evening was had by all, well worth the hideous hangovers plaguing many of the backpackers the following day.

Melbourne’s Craziest Backpackers Bar Industry Bar and Lounge experienced an hour of insanity Sunday afternoon when the Melbourne Backpackers Hostel Bar was flooded with hordes of students on the drunken leg of their pub crawl.

Our Melbourne Backpackers leisurely Sunday session was interrupted as the students stormed the bar, ‘Time Warp’ erupted on the sound system and madness ensued. No stranger to wild parties our Melbourne Hostel Backpackers couldn’t help getting caught up in the revelry and threw back a couple jagerbombs for good measure.

As the students crawled off to the next pub the Melbourne Hostel Backpackers reclaimed their bar and took a load off as they marveled at the astonishing antics of an intoxicated Australian youth.
