Forgot to answer your question here. Yes I'm fluent in Spanish. Depends on the country regarding finding those who can speak English, South America less English is known, Panama, and Costa Rica is almost bilingual. Touristy parts of Mexico and Guatemala no problem. Nicaragua is hit and miss. As a general rule. If you need help and ask enough people eventually someone will speak enough English for you to get by that applies all throughout the world and especially Asia (not mainland China). In fact in Korea and other parts of Asia sometimes they will randomly try to start talking with you in English to show off to their friends.
Sorry to go on and on. I just have so much information in my head, and now I have an outlet to share it ....here on steemit.
You mentioned you are a Professional Poker Player, Wow. I've always admired people who could turn that into a living! Impressed! I certainly don't have the ability to do that. Anyway, again I'm glad I can answer your questions. Don't ever hesitate to ask. Have a great night!
