Description
Hi everyone,
I’m Marlon, 35 years old, originally from Barranquilla, Colombia, and I’ve been living in Mexico for six years.
In 2018, I traveled through India and Vietnam to explore their incredible cuisine. A year later, I opened my own small Asian restaurant in the beautiful town of Puerto Escondido.
I’m an active person who loves free diving, boxing, and salsa dancing – feel free to join me anytime!
As a chef, I’m passionate about great food, so there will always be something delicious for you to try.
I’ve volunteered in many different projects, met amazing people, and now I’d like to offer this opportunity to someone else.
It’s important that you speak at least basic Spanish to communicate effectively, as I only speak very little English.

Hola a todos,
soy Marlon, tengo 35 años, soy de Barranquilla, Colombia, y llevo seis años viviendo en México.
En 2018 viajé por India y Vietnam para conocer su gastronomía. Un año después abrí mi pequeño restaurante asiático en el hermoso Puerto Escondido.
Soy una persona muy activa: practico apnea, boxeo y baile de salsa. ¡Estás más que invitado a unirte!
Como chef, me apasiona la buena comida, así que siempre habrá algo delicioso para probar.
He trabajado como voluntario en muchos proyectos diferentes, conocí a personas increíbles y ahora quiero ofrecerle esta oportunidad a alguien. Es importante que hables un inglés básico, ya que será necesario para comunicarte con los clientes.
