Curacao is lifestyle! Did you know that the famous Chichi<\/a> was created and made popular by Berliner Serena Israel, who was \u201cstranded\u201d on Curacao? Or that Nena Sanchez is responsible for the colorful Caribbean pictures \u2013 also a popular souvenir<\/a>?<\/p>\n
The lifestyle is colorful, which is reflected in the colorful houses and facades. The art and culture scene is colorful, creative and diverse. Numerous artists with different painting styles have immortalized themselves all over the island, be it with wall paintings, painted pictures with typical motifs from and about the island or even sculptures. Exploring this local ingenuity is curious and, above all, fun.<\/p>\n
If you spot someone painting a wall, you can easily and casually start a conversation. The artists have interesting stories to tell about their lives and those on the island. This also applies to Shirley from Suriname, who produces typically Caribbean, hand-made beach signs<\/a> as well as other wonderful things made from driftwood and calabashes – entirely according to your wishes and specifications.<\/p>\n
Curacaoenaars are open, warm and lovable people. Their joy for life is incredibly contagious and welcomes you wherever you go. Where else in the world will the Coast Guard wave at you from a passing boat while you sit on the waterfront at Iguana Caf\u00e9<\/a> in Punda? Where has a police officer ever waved at you from a bicycle while you were taking a photo of him? You are unsure whether you can drive the one-way street in the wrong direction with an e-scooter<\/a>. Then they call out to you: \u201cGo \u2013 this is Curacao!\u201d Here in Germany, people run the risk of getting seriously punished.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>Lifestyle is all the things that make up life and especially your vacation on Curacao. Do it like the locals: Don’t plan your trip<\/a> from start to finish – it won’t work anyway. Just let yourself go, be open and free – then the island will come to you. Just do something that you have never done before, for example, like we did, an e-scooter tour with Pablo through the districts of Willemstad. In addition to colorful houses in a wide variety of designs, you can marvel at one piece of wall art after another.<\/p>\n
What is life without music and dance? This is also omnipresent on Curacao – such as the spontaneous dancing in the street during the Punda Vibes or the local radio stations<\/a>. For example, a local at Plasa Bieu noticed that we spoke German and then sang the song \u201cLife is life\u201d by Opus loudly to get in touch with us. Although \u2013 the band actually comes from Austria. That’s true, it’s our neighboring country and after all we live over 8000 km away. Music is always part of the game for the locals. It is also carried to the beach<\/a>, just like a grill<\/a> or cooler<\/a>. The latter always stays in the shade, primarily under a palapa. If necessary, a parasol will also do.<\/p>\n
You will encounter the Caribbean way of life everywhere. People are free and you can feel that way too. There are also no body cult restrictions on Curacao like in Europe. As you will quickly notice, the ideal of beauty<\/a> is different. The Antilleans also love to dress up, be it for a walk through the city, a visit to a restaurant or bar<\/a> or even for going to church on Sundays. The shape of your body\u00a0doesn\u2019t matter and you show what you have and wear what you want. A friend and businessman once told us that he could never imagine having to put his feet in closed shoes every day.<\/p>\n
Everything is possible in Curacao \u2013 enjoy the Caribbean freedom!<\/p>\n<\/div>

Quiz Question<\/h2>What kind of cactus is that on the Relaxed Curacao logo?<\/div><\/div>
Answer<\/h2>
Perhaps you have already read our article about columnar cacti<\/a>. Then you know that the cactus on our logo is a Kadushi cactus.<\/p>\n
Recognizable feature: The cactus branches out from a single stem. This cactus is also edible and can be found in the local dish Dushi Kadushi soup.<\/p>\n
We chose the Dushi Kadushi for our logo because columnar cacti characterize the typical landscape of Curacao. The dry climate<\/a> offers optimal growing conditions. Cacti often stand on top of hills, behind them only the blue sky, the yellow sun and the turquoise blue sea. Our logo was created from this image of the island of Curacao that we still had in our heads at home.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>
