Based on our research of hostel users and needs we utilized various methods to synthesize the data to create a meaningful experience for our target users: budget conscious Americans traveling from the US to multiple locations in Europe, who want to find information about potential hostels to stay at. These users may plan everything in advance or want more flexibility, and they are concerned to varying degrees about privacy, security, amenities offered, and the quality of the hostel. We developed these ideas through a mood board, mental models, and personas.
