James (Instructor)
James has been with Buddha View for 5 years now and hails from Australia. James isn't really sure what he's doing here... or how he even got here, or why he has to go on yet another visa run. When you talk to James, please talk slowly and don't use long words. What he lacks in intelligence he makes up for in.... erm.. er... eh..... |

Massimo Italian/Spanish Instructor and Pizza Chef
ITALIANO :Istruttore Italiano nel team Bhudda View. Nato a Bassono Del Grappa dopo aver viaggiato il mondo facendo i piu diversi lavori : dal cuoco all’istruttore di windsurf all’animatore turistico alla fine ha trovato la sua vocazione nell’insegnamento della subacquea; lavoro nel quale pone tutta la sua energia e simpatia. Tipico italiano con la fissa per il buon cibo e il buon vino ma anche con la buona apparenza. Tutti lo prendiamo un po in giro per il suo forte accento quando parla inglese.
ESPANOL : Instructor Italiano en el Team Bhudda View. Despues de haber dado la vuelta por el mundo durante 6 anos y aver vivido 2 anos en la isla de Teneriffe y 7 meses en Mexico, habla y comprende perfectamente el idioma y tiene todo los cursos en espanol e italiano poniendole toda su energia y simpatia. Todavia todos le toman el pelo por su apariencia y fuerte acento Italiano cuando habla ingles y como todos los italiano: obsesionado con la buena comida y el buen vino. |
