Travel days are always stressful days. Not only do I need to get to my new spot, but I have to figure out where the local staples like grocery stores are, and I also get work-related things done.
Before getting to Perth, I hadn鈥檛 heard of Fremantle. It鈥檚 a nearby city that is apparently 鈥渢he place鈥� to stay if you鈥檙e in these parts, but due to ignorance, I had booked a hostel in Perth City. It had good ratings, was centrally located and was cheap, so I thought, what could go wrong?
Once I got there, I was shell-shocked and hit with a blast of reality. I never write bad reviews or trash talk businesses, but travelers need to be warned about this place. It was disgusting.
