    Destination: Curacao Like a Local

    Curacao Like A Local Island Rhythms & Colorful Strolls: Curaçao’s Art, Soul, and Sea Today, I’m taking you to an island that’s got rhythm, soul, flavor—and some of the bluest water I’ve ever seen. Welcome to Curaçao: a gem of the southern Caribbean, where each corner holds something special. This island is filled with wanderment and my show gets you ready to explore it all… Speaking of exploring—I just got back from diving into this vibrant destination, and let me tell you, it’s more than just a pretty beach. Picture colorful street murals splashed across historic Dutch architecture, artists painting in open courtyards, and plates full of stewed goat, fried plantains, and seafood so fresh it’s practically still swimming. You know how I feel about trying local cuisine—yes, please! While I cooled off in the sparkling turquoise sea, I also indulged in a little R&R at the stunning Marriott Curaçao Beach Resort. This elegant property sits right on the ocean, and from my room, I could walk directly onto the beach. A cozy patio let me enjoy the sunset with my toes in the sand. The breeze, the view, the service… yes, I was spoiled. Marriott Curacao Beach Resort has so many amenities - it's a premium six-acre beachfront resort in the lower Caribbean (out of the hurricane belt!). Just 15 minutes from the airport and 5 minutes from the downtown district, you're in your room and ready to start relaxing in no time. Come with all your travel buddies because with 336 modern, spacious rooms and suites there is room for everyone. You may want to skip the beach (can't believe I'm actually saying that) and enjoy the 2 pools, one of which is adults-only. After a day of touring you're ready for dinner and there are 5 on-site dining concepts for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And, top off the evening with live entertainment most evenings But Curaçao is more than picture-perfect—it’s full of history, warmth, and a relaxed vibe that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. So grab a drink, kick off your shoes, and come along—because for this trip, I called on my local friend Tirzah, owner of Lokalish by I Am Tirzah. We chatted while her adorable pups Ozzie and Louie played nearby, and we mapped out the perfect day to take in Curaçao’s thriving street art and cultural scene. Here's a list of tips and info to help you plan one of my favorite parts of visiting Curacao, the street art. Curaçao Street Art + Culture Walk Itinerary Estimated Time: 3–4 hours Route: Starts in Scharloo, ends in Otrobanda Best Time to Go: Morning to early afternoon Start: Scharloo Abou – Street Art Central Start Point: Van Raderstraat & Bitterstraat Mural Stops: “Three O’Clock Romance” – Francis Sling “Nos Ta Un Só” – Garrick Marchena “Eyes of Curaçao” – Blend Creative Coffee Break: La Reina Coffee – Don’t miss their iced tamarind tea, smoothies, or baked treats. I'm always looking for a taste of local cuisine. Eat like a local with Old Market vendors. Walk to Marshe Bieuw (Old Market) Route: 10-minute walk via Kaya Kaya Street Snack/Lunch Stop: Marshe Bieuw – Dig into traditional dishes like goat stew, funchi (cornmeal), or grilled fish. A local go-to spot! Cross the Queen Emma Floating Bridge Take in breathtaking waterfront views and grab a few photos.

  • Destination: Nova Scotia and Jekyll Island Adventures

    Destination: Nova Scotia and Jekyll Island Adventures
    2025/03/11
    Destination: Nova Scotia and Jekyll Island Adventures History, Adventure and Cuisine Nova Scotia and Jekyll Island adventures are waiting for you. I can take you on a journey to the world’s most captivating destinations! Today, we’re heading to the stunning province of Nova Scotia, Canada and Jekyll Island, Georgia for adventures, history and cuisine. Known for its rugged coastline, breathtaking landscapes, and rich maritime history, Nova Scotia is an outdoor lover’s paradise. Whether you're into hiking, whale watching, or just soaking in the salty sea air, there’s something for everyone in this coastal gem. It is truly an outdoor playground. Nova Scotia and Jekyll Island adventures are on a long, long list. So, let’s start with hiking and Coastal Adventures along the beautiful shores of Nova Scotia. One of the best ways to experience Nova Scotia is on foot. The province boasts hundreds of scenic trails, but if you’re looking for the ultimate hike, the Skyline Trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park should be at the top of your list. With sweeping views of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, this easy-to-moderate trail offers a chance to spot bald eagles, and even whales from the cliffs above. For those who prefer a mix of history and nature, the Old Town Lunenburg is a must-visit. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site… I love finding these historic sites and this is one of the best-preserved examples of a British colonial settlement and offers colorful 18th-century architecture, along with charming waterfront trails. I think everyone loves to see whales in their natural habitat and whale Watching in Nova Scotia is certainly a highlight. You can also get out on the water for sporting activities. Nova Scotia is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, making it a haven for marine life. Hop on a boat in the Bay of Fundy, home to some of the world’s highest tides and an excellent place to spot humpback, minke, and even the rare North Atlantic right whale. There in the Bay of Fundy an astonishing 160 billion tons of seawater flow in and out every day, creating dramatic tidal shifts up to 50 feet. When you visit, it is a magnificent site to see the drastic change in water level as the tides change. This unique environment not only supports diverse marine life but also offers incredible experiences like tidal bore rafting on the Shubenacadie River, where visitors can ride the powerful incoming tides in a thrilling adventure. Kayaking along the coastline is another unforgettable experience—paddle through sea caves, past rugged cliffs, and alongside playful seals. It’s all there…. All you need to do is bring along you desire to have a grand adventure. This is one you can definitely share with family and friends back home. You may even have a chance to brag a bit about this one. Speaking of being out on the water. There are tasty bites that come from the waters too. What’s top of the list is Lobster! After a day of adventure, there’s no better way to refuel than with some fresh Nova Scotia seafood—especially lobster! For an authentic experience, head to The Shore Club in Hubbards, where they’ve been serving traditional lobster suppers since 1936. If you’re in Halifax, don’t miss The Five Fishermen, known for its rich seafood history and legendary lobster dishes. But, my favorite and I highly recommend this experience of eating, driving to the area and seeing the climate and weather change right before your eyes. Come for a casual but equally delicious meal, at Hall’s Harbour Lobster Pound where you’ll enjoy a classic maritime experience - you can choose your own lobster fresh from the tank and enjoy it overlooking the Bay of Fundy. Afterwards, walk around the small town and check out the area. You’ll thank me for this one… for sure. Traveling along the shore has always been fascinating … to see small towns and fishing villages, a more relaxed way of life…. But, our great fascination is with lighthouses. And,

  • Destination: Canada Black Loyalists and American Revolutionary War

    Destination: Canada Black Loyalists and American Revolutionary War
    2025/02/27
    Canada Black Loyalists and American Revolutionary War Canada Black Loyalists and American Revolutionary War have a very unique Black history connection. Our history dates before time of Harriet Tubman and her march to freedom The underground railroad’s path to Canada is well known and documented. From 1820 to 1861, Those seeking to find freedom would go north to Canada on the Underground Railroad’s secret network - a path helping those enslaved find freedom. Did you know, that more than 30 years before the underground railroad, Blacks immigrated to Canada. Here’s the story, where we learn more about the things we thought we already knew. The American Revolution which started in 1775, was not just a war for American colony’s independence—it was also a fight for freedom for thousands of enslaved Blacks. Both the Patriots - the Americans and British - the Loyalists used enslaved people in their armies, it was the British who offered a path to freedom for those who were - loyal to the British military. Many were able to escape their enslaves in Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia, joining to support the British. With the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783, the war ended. And, now it was time for the British to hold true to their promise of freedom. New York was the last British held port and it became the place of gathering for those who had fought with the British. For more than 3000 British loyalist, both black and white, it was the location to get their names on an important ledger. There were two ledgers created, one for the Americans listing those who had escaped their enslavers, with the documentation to help with compensation for their loss. For the British, it was the list of those who would embark on a journey to a British held land…. The journey to freedom, to a new life, to a choice to be valued as human beings. This list became known as the Book of Negroes, listing if they were a slave or free, indentured servant, age, their enslaver, their work, also listed was their ship’s name, and the port they would enter in their new home - nova scotia. One settlement is Birchtown, the location where today you can visit the Black Loyalitst Heritage center where you’ll be immersed in the history, bravery, courage and fortitude of the Black Loyalist. The museum features exhibits the names and stories of thousands who escaped the bounds of slavery to freedom. Ready to plan your trip to Nova Scotia?
