    Description

    Welcome to Salcedo, Ecuador! 🇪🇨

    Hello! My name is William Rafael, but everyone can call me Rafael.

    I am an Ecuadorian teacher of Religious Education and Philosophy. I love meeting people from different countries, learning about their cultures, and sharing the traditions of Ecuador.

    My father, Rafael, still lives in Salcedo. He enjoys preparing delicious homemade bread, one of the simple traditions that makes our family life special.

    My sister Yolanda is married to Humberto, and they have a little son named Aarón, who has brought much happiness to our family.

    Over the years, our family has welcomed travelers from different parts of the world through Workaway. We have shared wonderful experiences, learned about different cultures, and created friendships that have lasted for many years.

    We enjoy the simple things in life: family conversations, traditional Ecuadorian food, nature, and sharing experiences with others.

    For us, cultural exchange is not just about accommodation. It is about learning from each other, sharing our traditions, and building genuine friendships.

    We would love to continue sharing our Ecuadorian hospitality with people from around the world.

    Welcome to Salcedo!
