During my SOBO ’21 thru-hike, I enjoyed the experience of each and every hostel I stayed in. Each one has its own personality… a flavor, and each was a gamble. I loved the adventure of not knowing who I would meet, how much money I would spend, and how long I would end up staying (based on the first two factors).
It became my passion to own a hostel and I found the perfect one for me in Uncle Johnny’s. I cherish the history of UJ; I like the town of Erwin more and more; and I love being the owner of UJ.
Many crazy, good times are ahead of Uncle Johnny’s and I will share thousands of unique experiences with NOBOs, SOBOs, Flip-Floppers, and Section/Day hikers for decades to come.
