I’m back from 🇨🇼AND with tips. I got so many DMs t I’m back from 🇨🇼AND with tips. I got so many DMs that you guys are either going to Curacao or interested in visiting. One of my tools when planning trips is watching YouTube videos of the destination and then after I go I pay it forward and add tips of my own. 

For example…I love a local experience. I’m always going to hit up the markets or find the authentic cuisine restaurants.

Did you know Queen Emma bridge is closed until the end of September? No worries! There’s a FREE ferry that takes you across and runs about every 10 minutes. Go get your souvenirs and a good meal.

Why did I choose Lemon Beach club? It’s adults only and I wanted to relax on my cabana from 10am - 6pm with no kids around. 😅

Why did I choose to rent a car? 🚘 It was very reasonable and well worth it. $322 for 5 days from thrifty car rental at the airport. One shuttle ride from the airport to my hotel would have been $40. No Ubers in Curacao.

These tips and everything I did in 5 days is condensed into a 16 minute YouTube video on the @chiataglance YouTube channel. Are you heading to Curacao or interested in heading there? Save this post to help you plan your next trip. Where am I headed next? 🇯🇵
