My name is Gedion, born and raised on the island of Curaçao, I am a Papiamentu native speaker who also speaks Dutch, which is the other official language in Curaçao in addition to English. In fact, a great majority in Curaçao also speaks Spanish, which is why I can teach Papiamentu from either one of these languages. Currently, I'm located in Asunción, Paraguay, working as a Freelancer, learning Guarani, practicing my Spanish and Portuguese and exploring the continent. Previously, I lived in Curaçao where I was born, the Netherlands where I studied, and Spain where I did a semester abroad and my internship. I'm passionate about languages, culture, philosophy, psychology, and baseball.
