Mine are: a coworking space, library, cafe, and a hospital (food allergy). If those aren’t close to where I’m staying, I won’t consider going there.

I’ve created a small tool (completely free, not self promotion) that only shows me hostels with my must-haves at most half a mile away.

As an example, here’s all the hostels in Germany vs just the ones that meet my requirements:

All the hostels in Germany

Filtered down to the best/most ideal hostels for me

This is what an actual city (Dresden here) looks like; yellow=cafe, blue=coworking, black=hostel, brown=library, red=hospital

It's an interesting way to quickly get an idea of where I could go next. I’d like to improve this tool and make it useful for others as well though, hence this post.

So, what are your “must-haves” when evaluating where to go as a DN? I’m sure I’ve missed some obvious deal-breakers and would love your input.

(If you want to try it out for yourself, here’s the link: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1Dwo)

completely free, not self promotion

For the future: The first doesn't imply the second. In some countries, if I donate to you based on your "free" work, if it's in the same line of work you do for your main job (e.g. developer) it still counts as income.

But still, tools like these are very useful and I thank you for sharing your efforts!
