Aruba, One Happy Island

Have you ever had the pleasure of visiting the Caribbean? Because if you have an opportunity, know it, it is AMAZING.

Always start your trip with insurance, you never know what might happen to you, do you? My first trip to the Caribbean was a short while ago, and in fact it was the best investment I ever made.

The island of Aruba is bathed entirely by the Caribbean Sea, as this has crystal clear waters and no waves; the island is very calm, with little policing, happy people, but the local cuisine is not as attractive as in other countries. We stayed on the island for 7 days, and it was enough for us to enjoy all the beaches until we got sick.

One of my secrets for traveling cheap is to buy food and prepare it at the hotel, if your room has the resources to keep the food in good condition (we don’t want to be sick, right ?!).

The city center is quite small, but the prices are attractive, and there is always a souvenir for that friend that we like that fits in the suitcase and that, for sure, he / she will love.

Hi @alloliveira

Thanks for sharing! Aruba seems to have endless paradise beaches and such an amazingly clear water. How did you decide to travel to Aruba? Did you know anything about the place beforehand or was it a complete surprise?

What else can you tell us about Aruba? What was your favorite thing? Any tips you can share for other Local Guides traveling for the first time?
