It was yet again another great day in Sydney and an even better day to be having a free beach BBQ! It was a record 31 degrees and the perfect setting for a free beach BBQ with our two Sydney Backpackers Hostels, Westend Backpackers and Maze Backpackers.

There are many free activities hosted throughout the week. Westend backpackers hostel is one of the cheapest youth hostels in Sydneys central business district.

It was a wonderful Saturday on the beach and an even better night at the Gaff. The Gaff’s second annual white party was a huge success!!! It was the simplest of themes and worked out really well. When the lights went off and the black lights came on it was a sight to remember!

The party lasted until the early hours in the morning and when some of the Sydney Backpackers left, the sun was out high in the sky. It is lucky that we had an angel with us to make sure we all made it back to our youh hostels safely. Yet again another successful fancy dress theme party at Westend Backpackers Sydney!

FREE Bubbles for the ladies? Yes it’s absolutely true, every Friday from 5.30pm - 6.30pm there’s FREE BUBBLES for the ladies at Nomads Fat Camel Backpackers Hostel and Bar.

Don’t worry guys there’s something for you too! If anyone brings 10 work mates with them we’ll give them a $20 bar tab, and make sure you bring along your business cards to The Fat Camel Backpackers Bar because at 8pm we’ll be holding a draw to see who wins a $100 bar tab!!

Thank God It’s Friday!!!

It was yet again another free event put on by Westend Backpackers Hostel, one of Sydney’s premiere youth hostels. Westend Backpackers Hostel Sydney offers free activities everyday of the week and with its central location it is just a short bus ride to the beach.  

The sun was shining there were whales in the ocean the scenery could not have been better.  The free BBQ for 70 people went as planned but there were a few unexpected guests in the ocean!!! Two whales were seen frolicking in the ocean less than 50 meters from the shore!!! It was an unbelieveable sight and was part of yet again a great day on the beach in Sydney.

Well hello extremely loyal readers… We felt as though our Sydney Backpackers were getting bored, so youth hostel staff at Nomads Maze Backpackers Hostel and Nomads Westend Backpackers Hostel decided to throw a Spandex party…

The posters were all over Nomads Maze Hostel and read, SPANDEX PARTY FRIDAY NIGHT - Free Wine for an hour at 8pm and two for one drinks at the bar! The tighter and brighter, the better! SPANDEX- THE ART OF LOOKING GOOD WHILST WEARING THE TIGHTEST CLOTHES POSSIBLE!!

So we were fairly merry, to say the least, especially as The Maze Backpackers drank 45 litres!!!! Here are some of the most ridiculous pictures from the night, and i think you’ll find that the pictures tell their own story!!!

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. 

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!

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!!!

The old Entertainment Managers reunite at one of the “HOTTEST” nights that Maze Backpackers Hostel Sydney has to offer!!

It was all about the entertainment guys on friday night at this Nomads Hostel…… with the old entertainment guy, Paul MacNamara,  returning to his long lost friend and partner in crime Matthew Polowyk (entertainment manager) of Nomads Westend Backpackers Hostel!! 

The friendly staff and backpackers of Sydney Youth Hostels The Maze and Nomads Westend also happened to be celebrating the 4th of July…. although some of the backpackers happened to be doing it in their own ’special’ ways.

Toga seemed to be the main theme at the youth hostels on Pitt Street with many of the backpackers adorning their bedsheets and strutting from the hostel, heads held high following Paul and Matt who were dressed rather less respectably than the rest of the Nomads Hostel backpackers…

With Matt, the Nomads Westend Backpackers Hostel entertainer flaunting himself dressed as the naked cowboy, who runs around New York City with just a guitar, and Paul The Maze backpackers hostels entertainer mixing it up as a white Apollo Creed(Rocky 1, 2 + 3) FACT!! 

The night was a fantastic party although it was just a warm up for the upcoming spandex party…!! Organised by these two Sydney Backpackers Hostels and to be held at Scubar!! Its all about the spandex baby!!!
