Postcards from Curaçao – The Complete Series
Curaçao is a World Class Dive Vacation Destination
But these experiences alone can also be said about so many other world class destinations too, such as our better-known sister Bonaire. As true as this statement is, it is also true that as a community, “Curacao is clearly distinguishing ourselves from these other world class destinations by focusing on not only the blue factors but also highlighting the topside richness of our island where you can experience the essence of Curacao through the culture, language, music, and history.” says, Jeremiah Peek, General Manager of Ocean Encounters.
Jeremiah went on to say, “The fact is that Curaçao is one of the most unique islands in the Dutch Caribbean, if not the world, that offers everyone who visits something different because it bridges all the gaps, intrigues all the senses and allows you all the freedom to experience it, on your own terms. I guess that is why we say that all you need is to dive in and feel it for yourself”.

Finding Light in Uncertain Times
At the very beginning of this journey, we wrote: “It has been said that we should be patient in a storm and focus on the sunshine after.” During the long and uncertain days of the global COVID-19 pandemic, we all felt the strain of isolation and uncertainty. But instead of dwelling on the obvious challenges, we chose to focus on something positive—sharing weekly reminders of Curaçao’s beauty with you.
A Journey for You—and for Us
What started as a simple way to bring you moments of joy quickly became a source of inspiration for us, too. Living on this vibrant coral rock in the Dutch Caribbean is a privilege, but as with anything familiar, it’s easy to lose sight of its wonder. Through these postcards, we were reminded just how lucky we are to call Curaçao home—and of our shared responsibility to protect it for generations to come.
Your Support Meant Everything
We were truly overwhelmed by the incredible feedback we received from you each week. Hearing that these postcards brought you joy, tranquility, and a longing to return to Curaçao made every effort worthwhile. Your messages—via email and Facebook—meant more than any statistic ever could.
