Backpackers Lodge for Bloggers

I generally try to stay in backpackers' lodges when I travel and don't have friends to bunk with.

The nice thing about backpackers' lodges is that you can mingle with other young people from different countries with different ideas.

The problem is that I'm starting to feel a little bit older, am travelling mostly on business and find myself not wanting to mingle as much with the raucous beer-drinking Aussies as I used to.

Wouldn't it be great though, if we had a few backpackers around the country that were focused on new media travellers? You know, the young "big idea" types who would prize a lounge with plenty power plugs, good coffee and Wi-Fi over a common room with a pool table and DSTV?

Please leave a comment if you think it's a good idea, know of something similar anywhere or if you have any ideas to add!
