Well that's certainly something to consider then. We have done hostels and not done the social thing but thats easier to do when you have private rooms in the hostels.. when you stay in dorms that social chit chat is harder to avoid.
We use them a lot though as it allows us to actually see and do things we couldn't do if we stayed in hotels. We've always enjoyed the experience and not felt we missed out by having the chaper accomodation - quite the opposite in fact.

When I think hostel and chatting with fellow travelers, instead of getting great conversation I always think I'll end up like this guy

Ah, I love traveling with my sister. ::)
I sent her 4 possible tours with a few options each for trips and she turned her nose up at every single one and never once made an offer to do the research herself.
Then she said, "Oh that trip's too long, I only have X amount of days this year because I'm going on this trip and that trip and you know, October's better for me."
I held my temper and very nicely wrote back that perhaps we should wait for 2012 then, when she has more time and we can go earlier in the year.
I didn't tell her that I would be damned if I was going to be rushed through a trip to Italy because SHE didn't have enough days and to take a chance on cold and rain later in the year because that time was more convenient for HER. >:( >:( >:( >:( Last trip we waited later than I wanted to and ended up in Paris in the rain and cold. I want to see Italy when it's warm.
I'm more than happy to go on my own without her and I might just do that.

Well certainly that would give you the option to do it as cheap or expensive as YOU want to.

Yes, I've said many times that I'd much rather be on my own traveling than with someone that isn't travel-compatible with me. For instance, I don't enjoy having itineraries set in stone, just a general plan...and I like to be able to nap when I want to...
