How you got to Aruba: What motivated you to move to Aruba and what has your experience been like working in this destination?
I previously lived on other Caribbean islands for several years before returning to my home country, Chile. After a few years of working there, I realized how much I missed the Caribbean—especially the warm weather and the laid-back island lifestyle. I started exploring opportunities, and when a position opened in Aruba, I decided to seize the chance and return to the Caribbean.
