Hostel Territory

So we've set off to Barcelona to live the dream and open our very own hostel. We're keeping this journal online to keep everyone updated of our progress, adventures and mishaps navigating Barcelona's booming tourism industry, Spanish bureaucracy, and daily life in Catalunya.

So we concluded our third round of hiring, and found two great candidates.....or so we thought. One of our picks was Alfonso, an Italian guy who had studied tourism and moved here from London. He works his first shift today. The second was Frank, a German guy studying tourism here in Barcelona. Frank was going away this weekend, so he agreed to come on Wednesday afternoon to do his training and start work next week. Or so we thought. He never showed up for training and hasn't responded to numerous phone calls and emails. Bizarre! Who does that? Especially in a place with 18% unemployment!

Fortunately, we had a lot of great candidates, so filling his spot should not be too difficult.
