THE CIRCLE HOSTEL: YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME!

If you love to travel (like me) and if you're the kind who believes that you don't have to spend that much just to have a relaxing and enjoyable vacation, not to mention that meeting new friends excites you...well, The Circle Hostel is the right place for you.

I found out about The Circle last 2014 because at that time I really wanted to go to La Union and try surfing for my birthday.

Since I'm the kind of person that I really wanted everything planned, I booked a 3 day/2 nights stay in The Circle La Union. You can post your reservation on their website and just do a bank deposit in their account and you're good. Just present them your confirmation receipt.

The trip to La Union took probably around 6 hours.
Just tell the bus driver to drop you off at Moonleaf which is along the national highway.
From there, you can ask your way around The Circle.


The atmosphere in The Circle is so relax. As if you just got home or never left home.

The receptionist handed me my blanket, pillow case, bed sheet and escorted me to my bunk bed.
By the way, don't bother looking for an airocnditoned room, they don't have it in The Circle.



Going to the beach is easy. Just cross the street and enter via San Juan Surf School and in less than 5 minutes, you're there.

Time to get some tan!

They also say that when you go to The Circle, you get to meet and make friends with a lot of people. It's true! Coz in The Circle, there are no strangers.


In the morning, you don't have to bother buying for your breakfast. There's a free Pandesal for everybody including your choice of spread. Cool!


As one of The Circle's tradition, you can utilize the paints and brush and with some creativity, you can leave your mark in The Circle's pavements, walls, ceilings etc. (as long as you can reach for it, lol)

I met Neth during second day. She's also a backpacker like me. I asked here if she can accompany me to the beach and she undoubtedly said yes.
Since there are no waves suitable for surfing, we settled for Skimboarding. It looks easy, but it's not for me. Hahaha.


Three days in The Circle is really not enough but I can always come back!
