¡Saludos amigos!
I am Adam, 33 years old Poland born muchacho, who has been working in hospitality industry for 6 years, right now I am running a restaurant in the remote part of Saona Island also trying to help as much as possible people and animals here.
The restaurant is part of our tour company which is run by Isidro (Dominican), Peter (Polish) and myself. The company is Isidro's baby project focusing on providing unique experience for tourists visiting Guaragua National Park as well as fishing village in Saona Island called Mano Juan.
I am the one who will host you on the island but you will also meet Isidro and Peter on regular basis :)
In our place there are 2 cats, 2-5dogs (they live pretty independent lives here) :P :P
We employ in the restaurant three staff members:
Albania - a head chef / full-time
Alina - a sous Chef / full-time
