going on 2015

On December 31st, around 11am in the morning, in Curacao, the New Year's celebrations get going. Most other countries start a bit later - at least with the fireworks part. But here we tend to do things differently. And this is one spectacular day on this tiny island.

The crates, filled with fireworks, come out, the roads end up red and everyone is in a festive mood. I usually start at my mother's shop and then drive to numerous other companies enjoying the festivities and fireworks.

In the evening it is time for family, more fireworks and naturally, a good bottle of champagne to ring in the New Year.

2014 was a wonderful year - filled with surprises. I never expected to write a book - and well, here it is now - Curacao: Banda Ariba, due to some very sweet Divas. We visited Dubai, flew a few times to Amsterdam, hopped on a jet to New York, enjoyed the world cup in Hamburg, took the Blue Turtle out for many relaxing rides and spent another amazing year with my loved ones. I can only be thankful. :)

Have a splendid day today. I wish you the best for 2015 - may it be filled with laughter.

Thank you for visiting this year - see you in 2015. xx Pris

2014

As this year comes to a close I want to thank you for visiting and for going on this journey with me. It is an absolute honor.

I wish you a beautiful, exciting, healthy, adventure-filled new year. May it be filled with memorable journeys, laughter and dreams.

In 2014 I would like to travel the world once again. Experience big city lights and small village kindness, connect in languages I don't speak, laugh every day at lunch with my grandmother, mother and aunt and wake up knowing that every day is a new beginning; that every experience is part of an amazing journey. 

My dreams will be bigger, my expectations more defined and my goals achieved - because I will work hard to achieve them.

In 2014 I wish once more for the health and happiness of my family and friends. That we may all share many (chaotic) very happy moments. That we all push ourselves to be even better than we were before. To cherish the details of today.

Have a memorable year.
