Pirate's Life Vacations

In celebration of the kids’ earning their SCUBA certification, we all woke up at 5am, drove to the other side of the island, checked in at Christoffel National Park to begin the hike up to the highest point in Curacao at 6:30am. It is rated “hard” on AllTrails, and the park won’t let you start the hike after 10am or without 2L of water per person. It was more difficult than any of us had anticipated. It’s definitely not for everyone, and the majority of the hike consisted of rock scrambling. AND.. I am afraid of heights. Of course, it was worth it. We can do hard things.

Today is World Elephant Day.

Why do travel professionals call themselves travel advisors, instead of travel agents?

The answer is pretty straightforward. With the advent of the internet and online booking engines, the profession has evolved.

Today, booking travel online is easy, so that’s only a very small part of what I do.

Creating a trip that is meaningful, personalized, and well-connected takes expertise, trusted relationships, and detail-oriented planning.

Over the years, I’ve built relationships with trusted destination specialists, local guides, and other on-the-ground partners around the world. My role as a travel advisor is to call on these and act as the liaison between my clients and the people who know a destination best.
