If you’ve travelled, you’ll know that dorm rooms can be one of two things: a place to meet new friends and get the well-deserved rest you’ve earn’t having trekked over 100 miles in the last couple of days…Or…they can be full of noisy, snoring nightmares that you want to hurl water bottles at in the death of night with genuine intent to murder, or to at least stop them humping that stranger they met in the bar so enthusiastically…
