In 2013 André Leonardo (the founder of Mid-Atlantic Hostel) went on an extreme mission around the world to meet entrepreneurs and exciting new business ideas.

He travelled during one year alone to the 4 corners of the world taking only a backpack and a camera. He went to 23 countries during this journey, from US and Canada to Australia, Japan, India or Kenya. With very little money he slept at hostels, airports, train and bus stations, used couchsurfing and has seen the world with no filters, as it really is. He gathered inspiring entrepreneurship stories throughout his 126-thousand-kilometer journey.

From that experience he dreamed about building his own hostel at his hometown to show this amazing paradise in the middle of the Atlantic to everyone that, just like him, loves to travel, experience and see the world as it really is.

He went from the Middle of the Atlantic to there world. Now it’s time to open the doors of the Middle of the Atlantic to all the world.
