Bon Biní, Bienvenido, Welkom, Welcome, Benvenuto, Wilkommen! I'm Elton, from the island of Curaçao (Southern Caribbean) where I was born, raised and currently living. I grew up in a local neighbourhood just west of Otrobanda in Willemstad. I speak Papiamentu, Dutch, Spanish, English, regular Italian and a little German. Curaçao is a small but unique Island.

Wow, what an experience!
Brilliant that you met so many great people through couchsurfing. I didn't know that you were a geography teacher--when you return, you're going to amaze your students with your own photos and impressions and inspire them to travel. I love how you are so graceful and accepting of others staring at you and taking your photo--you are a celebrity! This photo is the most amazing I've seen in forever!
