Kansas, USA, is known as the heartland of America, and for good reason -- it's located in the exact center of the country. The midwestern state used to be referred to as a flyover state, but it's quickly becoming popular amongst budget travelers due to its gorgeous scenery, sports teams, foodie culture, and craft breweries. Those who've been visiting Kansas for a long time also know it's the birthplace of BBQ and Kansas City Blues and Jazz.
Most hostels in Kansas, USA, can be found in Kansas City, which actually goes across state lines into Missouri as well. It's the only city in The United States of America that goes across two states, but keep in mind it's not the capital of Kansas -- that would be Topeka! With many young adults calling the city home, boutique hostels in Kansas, USA, are starting to pop up across the city, and will hopefully become popular soon in other parts of the state.
Kansas is a relatively affordable place for travelers to visit, as most of the great outdoors are free to explore and local dining establishments can be very affordable. The costs of Kansas, USA hostels can vary, whether it's an upscale spot that offers unique decor or more of a simple place to stay the night.
Kansas is wonderful to visit in the summer when you can experience the famous sunflower fields. Visit the amusement park Worlds of Fun and adjacent Oceans of Fun for a memorable and exciting day.

College fans will love to watch a basketball at Kansas University, which is known for inventing modern basketball. If you prefer college football, head out to Kansas State to watch a game out in the country.
Kansas take their BBQ very seriously, so be sure to ask the staff at your Kansas, USA hostel where their favorite spot is and get around to trying them all. In Kansas City, Gates never fails but some of the more obscure places out in the Kansas countryside are equally delicious.
