Every year, it’s the same question that strikes everybody, and that’s where do we go for vacations? Traveling can be easy if everybody is putting in their valuable expertise in organizing a good journey, but not oftentimes the best planning takes you to the best destinations. We tend not to capture the true essence of a place, but rely on other travelers’ thoughts before embarking on a trip. Best advices on travel would probably come from travelers not able to get rid of a particular place that urges them to go back again and again. How about visiting an island with flavors of two countries spreading distinctively? While in Curacao, you’re definitely bound to feel the cultures of both the Dutch and the colorful West Indies.

Life in Curacao is more to that with outstanding cosmopolitan cultures and an exceedingly good capital City in Willemstad. Curacao mostly depicts dazzling Caribbean colors coupled with shades of colonial architecture.

Curacao celebrated its 1st independence in 2010 when they dismantled Netherland Antilles. As you stroll through the place, you could still find similarities matching Dutch lifestyle with flavors of West Indies spread properly too.
