Hosteling.US is a grassroots attempt at promoting USA hostels to travelers who are not aware that USA has awesome hostels. It is run by two hostel operators who love hostels and just want to build awareness around how cool USA hostels are.
Received an email from Hosteling.US without ever interacting with their website, nor signing up for any related emailing lists. Comes off as a scam or generally a data farm as the links contained in the email were not all secure https and the email itself was unsolicited. The address which it was sent from was "@thehostelcollective.com via squarespace-mail.com" even though that is not a legitimate squarespace domain and there is no reference to the relationship between "The Hostel Collective" and "Hosteling.US".
