Danny Hamilton (our new Deputy Manager in Barnacles Quay Street Hostel in Galway) in a nutshell:
I am from Dublin and am 100% Irish except when the sun shines and I claim to be part Brazilian (you should see me with a football 
)
I have been 27 for 5 years now and plan to be for the foreseeable future.
I have travelled all over the world and can even remember a small portion of it.
I have lived in England, Scotland, Spain, Luxembourg, Cuba and Australia, working in bars, bricklaying, plumbing, orange picking, on pub crawls, football commentating, small parts in movies (two), tour guiding and now finally I have settled on hostel management…
I’m split on the favourite places between stunning country that is Croatia and the electricity of the life in Cuba.
The best hostel I have stayed in is the Glebe Village hostel in Sydney, such a nice place.
Interesting fact, I once told Cheryl Crow (pretty famous) that I hope she makes it as a singer someday, having no idea who she was when meeting her in the Quay’s bar right across from the hostel 
(We will need to snoop around to find those movies, right???)
