From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

A 'poshtel', for those of you who hadn’t guessed, means posh hostel. Luxury hostel accommodation was identified at this month's World Travel Market 2014 as a key trend for next year, so it looks like the gap yah might be back.

The term is used to describe hostels that mix luxury with affordable, and the basic necessities of any travelling citizen: free Wi-Fi, modern design and of course, en-suite facilities. Gone are the days of sharing with a dozen others and vying for the bathroom.

Travel site Trivago has compiled their top 10 poshtels in Europe. From a Jameson bottle chandelier, to a private cinema room or a restored 19th century palace, you won't have to slum it on your travels - and rooms start from just £19.
