'Lesson learned': Couple ruin hundreds of dollars worth of clothing with hostel request gone wrong

This couple managed to ruin a bunch of their clothing while traveling.

There's some good travel advice about how to ensure you'll always have a clean outfit with you. If you're flying, you should pack your clothes in your checked luggage, but make sure to leave at least one pair of clothing in your carry-on luggage, too. That way if your luggage gets lost or you're not able to get that suitcase right away, you'll still have a fresh set of clothes for the next day. 

This couple had a similar issue involving their clothing. They entrusted a bunch of "expensive high-tech hiking clothes" to strangers at the hostel they were staying at. I hope they left at least a few sets of clothing out of that wash cycle, because otherwise, they'll have to add a big shopping trip into their vacation. 

Although it seems like a miscommunication with hostel staffers, this traveler left this information in the hostel's review. At least they gave their trip a 7/10… not that any of it was really the hostel's fault in the first place. 

After you check out this interesting hostel review/laundry disaster, read about the freelance artists who revealed their worst clients, like one poor soul who "had a guy try to pay me with pottery."
