What financial insights does Paul RYKEN provide from his trip to Curaçao?

Travel style matters: I base costs on a budget-conscious couple travelling independently, staying mostly in self-catered accommodation and tracking every expense.

Save on food: Stay somewhere with a kitchen, eat out once a day (often lunch for better deals), share large portions, and avoid convenience stores in favour of cheaper supermarkets.

Accommodation hacks: Compare multiple booking platforms, watch for hidden fees (tourist taxes, cleaning), travel outside peak season if you can, or stay slightly away from main tourist areas with good public transport.

Connectivity costs: I mostly used accommodation Wi‑Fi, but today I’d recommend an eSIM like Airalo to avoid roaming charges and be online as soon as you land.
