Oh man! That is SO similar to our story. I saw your comment on our blog (www.hostelterritory.blogspot.com) I actually contacted Ryan almost two years ago about a post on Craigs List looking for writers. We played email tag, and then things got too busy with our hostel business. I'm glad to see your blog is doing so well.
You guys should check out Monvinic, the new wine bar/restaurant/appreciation center in Barcelona. It's right next to our hostel, so drop me a line if you ever stop by!
