A native Tasmanian, Stuart (El Jefe) travelled extensively in the Middle East, South and Central America before seeing the opportunity to live the good life in Panama City. After taking over ownership of Mamallena a couple of years ago Stuart realized the need for a 'Real Backpackers Hostel' in Panama and moved Mamallena to its current location in September 2008.
Stuart can often be seen in the bars and clubs around Panama and has all the advice and recommendations that you could possibly need. |
Luke has been traveling, working and basically bumming around for the last 10 years. After spending the summer in Greece punishing his liver, he came to Panama in September to help in the relocation of Mamallena. Normally seen with a mop in his hand, Luke can occasionally be spotted out on the town. |

Roxanna has been a faithful Mamallena employee for the last 2 years and as our Front of House expert Roxanna ensures everything is in working order to make your stay exceptional. |
Marialina has been with us for 2 years now and is the pretty face that greets you when returning from the bars and clubs at 4am or when arriving bleary-eyed for a long journey on a night bus. Normally seen behind the reception desk studying for her Tourism degree, occasionally you will see Marialina jiving away on a dance floor or two. |

Gato is perhaps the most popular member of our staff and sometimes the hardset working, although when you see him sleeping in a pot plant or, at times, inside the occasional backpack you might find it hard to believe. Normally under house arrest, El Gato can often be seen playing in the street, climbing trees or just being his usual crazy self. |
