Description
Hello Dear Hosts:
My name is Andres David, or you can call me Dibash, my nickname. I am from the Galapagos Islands, in Ecuador, South America, and my goal is to travel around Asia.
I do consider myself an eclectic person, friendly and open minded.
I have had many kinds of jobs and duties in my life, so I have worked on many fields, in restaurants, hostels, resorts, schools. Thus, I will be very glad to help you in whatever you need. By the way, I do get a long with kids too, because I have been a Primary School teacher some time ago, teaching mainly chess to the little kids.
Also, I am a painter and a Spanish-writer, and I will be glad to assist you in translating or teaching you Spanish. And, last but not least, since I have been working with tourists from all around the world, I am very able to speak/write in English fluently.
Hope to meet you soon!
Greetz.
Dibash.
