2019 Curaçao tips
Esther Jacobs2022-08-29T12:57:25+02:00Since 1994, the Dutch Caribbean island of Curacao has had a special place in my heart. Every now and then I organize workshops or retreats on the island.

Bahamas (1996, 2008)
Esther Jacobs2022-08-27T17:55:42+02:00A humbling hurricane experience… In 1996 I had briefly visited the Bahamas by boat and on jet ski with some friends from Miami. We enjoyed the sun, sea and fun. In 2008, however, I was about to have a completely different experience… In the [...]
