I finally found a way to work from hostels without losing my mind

Grabbed my noise-cancelling headphones and a sleep mask on the third week of a six month trip through Southeast Asia. Realized pretty fast that the only way I could focus on client work was to book a private room every fourth night, just to reset. One time I tried to take a video call from the common area and some guy started blending a smoothie right behind me, full blast, for like ten minutes. Now I just tell people I work from "hostels" but really I'm just sitting in the cheapest cafe with decent wifi nearby. It's not glamorous but at least I don't have to pretend I'm being productive while someone's snoring in the bunk above me.
