The Covid-19 lockdown has thrown us all into a world where we conduct all our work meetings – and lots of social ones too – remotely. We’ve all had to learn a new etiquette to do this effectively, but it turns out, us riders have an advantage when it comes to picking up the best way to navigate virtual meetings. Who knew?
Read on to find out four ways being around horses prepares you for virtual meetings…
1. You are accustomed to picking up and giving non-verbal cues. We all know the person who insists on saying “yes” to acknowledge they have heard or a disagreeing “no” is a menace in a virtual meeting – the mic moves across to them, cutting out the speaker, and everyone misses the next 10 seconds as the sound catches up again. But as horse riders, we are used to non-verbal communication. So we found it easy to adjust – we just smile and nod when we want to acknowledge something or look a bit anxious when it sounds worrying. It’s just the same as using nice soft body language to show your horse everything is ok or using the reins and body to slow down because there’s something that needs attention…
2. You are familiar with taking it in turns. It’s tedious, but sometimes, there’s no other way to conduct a video meeting than by each person expressing their view in turn. You know, just like you do in a group lesson when everyone has a go at the jumps in turn… we’ve got this. Remember, don’t be greedy and do extra jumps/talking and never start jumping/talking before the person before you has finished.
3. You are used to being embarrassed. Whether it’s your five-year-old popping in to tell you about her latest toilet trip, an X-rated book in the background of your picture or the fact you hadn’t quite got dressed because you didn’t realise video was essential for this session, virtual meetings offer numerous opportunities to embarrass yourself. But that’s nothing unusual for us riders. Horses are always finding ways to embarrass us, from peeing when you halt in a dressage test to throwing themselves in the mud when you don’t have time to bath them before a lesson or dumping you in front of a new partner you want to impress.

4. You are well practised at speaking slowly and clearly. We’ve found that years of saying soothingly “Waaaaalk” when lungeing has fitted us well for the steady pace required when speaking on a virtual meeting. Just try to avoid the slightly more panicked tone you adopt when you see your horse eating something he shouldn’t or destroying a fence…

Atlanta is known for gorgeous homes and architecture and it’s always a treat to get invited to the showhouses in town, one of the perks of being a blogger. I’ve been going to the Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Southeastern Designer Showhouse for all 5 years now and it’s always a highlight this time of year. The house opening was delayed this year due to Covid, but I’m glad to see it finally open.
This year’s house is an 11,000 s.f. renovated Buckhead estate with California transitional design by Benecki. Linda McArthur Architect, Cole Construction, Melanie Turner Interiors and SOURCE serves as this year’s showhouse.

Few destinations in the world bring in the crowds like Barcelona. It’s one of the most incredible cities not just in Spain, but in the entire world, home to a buzzing nightlife, delectable food scene, and tons of stunning architecture.
No matter what your budget or reason for visiting, you’ll be able to enjoy this sprawling, picturesque city and its laid-back pace of life.
I’ve been visiting Barcelona for a decade and have stayed in dozens upon dozens of hostels over the years. There are a lot of things to consider when selecting a hostel. The top four when picking the best hostel in Barcelona are:
To help you plan your trip, here is my list of the hostels in Barcelona that I like the most. If you don’t want to read the longer list below, the following hostels are the best in each category:
Best Hostel for Budget Travelers: Hostel One Ramblas or Hostel One Paralelo
Best Hostel for Families: St. Christopher’s Inn
Best Hostel for Digital Nomads: Sleep Green
Best Hostel for Partying: Kabul Party Hostel
Best Hostel for Solo Female Travelers: Yeah Hostel
Best Overall Hostel: St. Christopher’s Inn
Want the specifics of each hostel? Here’s my comprehensive list of the best hostels in Barcelona:
Price Legend (per night)
This is one of my favorite hostels in Europe. Located right near La Rambla, it’s a social and lively hostel with a huge bar/outdoor right next door. They organize daily events and the beds are cozy pods with curtains so you can actually get a decent sleep. It’s clean, comfy, and one of the best hostels in the city.
St. Christopher’s at a Glance:
Beds from 35 EUR a night, rooms from 170 EUR per night.
—> Book your stay at St. Christopher’s Inn!
This is a fun party hostel that’s great for solo travelers. They organize nightly events and activities, host free dinners every night, and work hard to make sure everyone is having fun. While it is a lively hostel, they also have separate commons rooms for chilling out and working, as well as a movie room with Netflix in case you just want to relax. The dorms are also capped at 8 beds so you’re never crammed in with a ton of people either (which is a big plus in my book).
Hostel One Paralelo at a Glance:
Beds from 20 EUR a night, rooms from 54 EUR per night.
—> Book your stay at Hostel One Paralelo!
Kabul is my favorite hostel in the city (and is tied for my favorite hostel in all of Europe. It’s a full-on party hostel, so don’t come here looking for peace and quiet.
They organize nightly events and pub crawls. Surprisingly, the dorms are clean and the beds are comfy — which is rare for party hostels. What makes Kabul so great is the common area. It takes up a whole floor of the building and comprises a café, bar, internet kiosk, and a pool table. It’s super social and really easy to meet people here. Just don’ expect to get much sleep!
Kabul Party Hostel at a Glance:
Beds from 32 EUR a night, rooms from 82 EUR per night.
—> Book your stay at Kabul Party Hostel!
This is another social hostel with amazing staff that go above and beyond to make sure you have a memorable trip. The hostel serves free breakfast, has lots of common areas (with ping pong and board games), and they organize all kinds of events too. They can also get you discounts to some of the city’s nightclubs in case you’re looking to enjoy Barcelona’s famous nightlife. They also have a kichen in case you want to cook your own meals and guests get electronic wristbands so the hostel is safe and secure. They also have female-only dorms too.
HelloBCN at a Glance:
Beds from 28 EUR a night, rooms from 100 EUR per night.
—> Book your stay at HelloBCN!
Like the other Hostel One location on this list, Ramblas is social hostel where it’s easy to have fun. They organize daily walking tours and nights out so there is always something to do (which makes it easy to meet new people). Free dinners are held daily, breakfast is super cheap (3 EUR), and the beds are really comfortable. It’s also close to a metro stop so you can easily get around the city. The staff here are awesome and go above and beyond to make sure you have a great stay.
Hostel One Ramblas at a Glance:
Beds from 20 EUR a night.
—> Book your stay at Hostel One Ramblas!
Another fun and interactive hostel that organizes daily walking tours, cooking classes, and has free tapas every Thursday. It’s super social. They have a chill patio with lots of space to hang out and lounge and have free dinners every night as well. It’s a bustling, communal hostel that makes you feel like you’re at home with friends. They keep it super clean too!
360 Hostel Barcelona at a Glance:
Beds from 35 EUR a night.
—> Book your stay at 360 Hostel Barcelona Arts & Culture!
This hostel has a real family vibe to it. They offer free breakfast every morning and host communal dinners every night. They have a spacious outdoor terrace, a chill common area with video games, and they also organize a few walking tours of different parts of the city as well. They have free coffee and tea too. To top it all off, the showers have great water pressure — something I appreciate!
Fabrizzio’s Petit at a Glance:
Beds from 46 EUR a night, rooms from 129 EUR per night.
—> Book your stay at Fabrizzio’s Petit!
This is an energetic hostel with a cool interior design (there is lots of art and murals on the walls). They organize daily walking tours and pub crawls and have a bar on-site so you can chill out and enjoy a drink with your fellow travelers (you also get a free drink with your stay). They have some quiter areas too for when you want to relax. Everything is clean and modern, which makes it feel almost like a hotel — but with the socializing and fun of a hostel. You can also attend thier daily communal dinners (10 EUR) which are super delicious and a great way to meet people.
Yeah Hostel at a Glance:
Beds from 42 EUR a night, rooms from 146 EUR per night.
—> Book your stay at Yeah Hostel!
This is a really cool hostel. They have instruments and a stage for playing music, an indoor skate ramp, and the hostel is covered in cool murals and art. They organize nightly parties and pub crawls, have a huge spacious kitchen for cooking your own food, and a chill outdoor lounge for relaxing and hanging out. Located right near the city center (it’s just a few minutes from La Sagrada Familia), it’s definitely one of the coolest hostels in the city.
Sant Jordi Hostels Sagrada Familia at a Glance:
Beds from 24 EUR a night, rooms from 39 EUR per night.
—> Book your stay at Sant Jordi Hostels Sagrada Familia!
What separates this unique hostel from the rest is that it offers a free bike tour of the city every morning (you can also rent a bike for 7 EUR per day). They also have free dinners and sangria nights too, which keeps the atmosphere lively and energetic. It’s just 5 mintues from La Sagrada Familia and La Rambla too so it’s a super convenient location. Free coffee and tea are available all day, which is a nice little bonus if you just want to relax and chill (or do some work). And the beds are litle cubbies with curtains so you have some added privacy (which I appreciate).
Bed & Bike Barcelona at a Glance:
Beds from 25 EUR a night, rooms from 74 EUR per night.
—> Book your stay at Bed & Bike Barcelona!
This laid-back youth hostel is a good choice for younger travelers (dorms are only available to travelers under 48). They host Mediterranean-themed dinners, plan nightly pub crawls, and offer daily free walking tours as well. There is always something fun going on to help you meet people and enjoy the city. They have an outdoor courtyard, movie room, and a chill common area with video games as well. It’s also one of the more budget-friendly hostels too!
Mediterranean Youth Hostel at a Glance:
Beds from 28 EUR a night.
—> Book your stay at Mediterranean Youth Hostel!
This is the most sustainable and eco-friendly hostel in the city. It’s a quiet, laid-back hostel which is great for anyone looking for a less rowdy stay in Barcelona. They have a fully-equipped kitchen for cooking your own meals and lots of common areas for hanging out and meeting other travelers. It’s not the most social place, making it a good choice for digital nomads looking to get some work done or travelers looking to do their own thing.
Sleep Green Eco Hostel at a Glance:
Beds from 35 EUR.
—> Book your stay at Sleep Green!

San Diego is an underrated destination. While visitors flock to San Francisco and Los Angeles, more often than not San Diego gets skipped over.
With incredible weather, awesome beaches, and tons of things to see and do (both in the city and nearby), San Diego is a destination that shouldn’t be overlooked.
I’ve been visiting the city for years and have stayed in many of the city’s hostels. There are a lot of things to consider when selecting a hostel. The top four when picking the best hostel in San Diego are:
To help you plan your trip, here is my list of the hostels in San Diego that I like the most. If you don’t want to read the longer list below, the following hostels are the best in each category:

San Diego is a fun, relaxing city with amazing food and even more amazing beaches. It’s like a smaller, better version of Los Angeles. Best of all, it’s also more affordable than both LA and San Francisco, which makes it a prime choice for road trippers and budget travelers looking to have some fun in the sun.

San Francisco is a beautiful, eclectic city. Balancing its hippy roots with its modern, techie scene, San Francisco is a cool, lively, energetic city bursting with history and tons of amazing food.

However, it’s also one of the most expensive in the country too!
Fortunately, the city has a growing hostel scene so you can find affordable accommodation during your visit. I’ve been visiting San Francisco for a decade and have stayed in dozens of hostels, hotels, and Airbnbs. Since the city is so expensive, hostels are your best bet here.

So I know this isn’t about horses… but I thought it would apply (and is important) because so many of us live on rural land.
Mountain View Wildlife Rehabilitation
People that call us and are concerned whether or not they should bring the found fawn in can look at this. My very first question is look at the ears. Are they straight? Or are they crumpled?
If straight , was the deer laying down or standing up?
This year every deer we have taken in has looked like this. The ears are crumpled and the deer was standing up and crying.
The crumpled ear tips mean that the fawn is dehydrated and mom is gone.
The baby needs help!!!
?????????
If you are EVER in question about wether or not you need to help the baby , this is the answer.
If you find one with these crumpled ears , get that baby help!
We always advise if you get the fawn and can’t get it to a rehabilitation facility right away, NEVER feed the fawn ANYTHING but unflavored pedialyte.
We use specialty milks made specific for deer and anything else may proved fatal or create more issues.
As always please donate to your rehab facility as rehabilitation specialists are not paid.
We run strictly on donations or what we pay out of pocket.
