We Want to Be a Part of It... New York, New York!

If anyone is still out there, Lauren and my adventures in Hostel Territory continue in spite of our radio silence.  While we haven't posted in a while, we continue to operate our hostels in Barcelona (remotely) and have moved on to a new project in New York City.  This all started a year and a half ago when Lauren and I were finishing up our respective MBA programs - she in Philly at Wharton and I in France at INSEAD - and were struggling with the question of what to do next.  As luck would have it, an old friend of mine from undergrad contacted me with a keen interest in opening hostels in New York City.  Yada, yada, yada... fast forward to the future... Lauren and I are now a couple of months away from opening our first US-based hostel in LIC, Queens NYC, New York.

The America-based adventures have been of a different nature than the Spanish ones.  As we're a bit older, more experienced, and now operating in our native language, everyday situations aren't as comical as they were at the outset of this crazy ride.  However, our sense of humor and strange sister behavior ensure that our lives remain less than ordinary.  

You can check out the site for our first New York City Hostel here.  We estimate we are a month and a half from opening and are counting down the days until we get to once again welcome awesome guests from around the world.  In the meantime, we are busy with fun things like pastry tasting and wine selection for the bar that will be a part of this new project.
