About Me

My name is Elise Bertino and I invite you to discover the magic of Aruba through my eyes and experiences. My journey with this captivating island began in 2002, when my family went on our first Aruba vacation. Little did I know that this initial visit would spark a lifelong love affair with Aruba that continues to deepen with each passing year.

On that first visit, my family knew that Aruba was somewhere they would continue to return. They purchased timeshares at the Marriott Surf Club and the rest is history! Every visit to this paradise brought new adventures, lifelong friendships, cherished memories, and a sense of belonging that transformed Aruba into a home away from home. The welcoming locals, breathtaking landscapes, and vibrant culture of Aruba captivated my heart, drawing me back time and time again.

Having introduced numerous friends and family members to the wonders of Aruba over the years, my passion for this island paradise only intensifies with each shared experience. As an avid traveler who now has the flexibility to work from home, I am blessed to spend more time on this beautiful island that holds a special place in my heart. I have explored Aruba on family vacations, solo adventures, wedding celebrations, and memorable trips with friends, giving me the opportunity to wander across the entire island and discover its captivating treasures.

In the native language of Aruba, Papiamento, my go-to phrase is "Biba Dushi," which translates to "living a sweet life" or "living the good life." I even got a tattoo as a daily reminder how sweet this life really is!

Aruba has not only become a destination on the map for me but a destination that embodies a sense of belonging, joy, and adventure. Join me on this virtual exploration of Aruba, where I'll guide you through the hidden gems, must-see attractions, and cultural delights that make this island a one-of-a-kind destination. Let's uncover the beauty of Aruba together and embark on a journey that promises unforgettable experiences and cherished moments.
