Arubavinnie
Hi! I’m Arubavinnie and Aruba is my passion. I’ve been coming to Aruba annually since 1983 when I visited for the first time and the island enthralled me with her charms and beauty. Since then, the Aruba Tourism Authority has officially awarded me the title of Honorary Ambassador of Good Will, along with my beautiful wife Karen and vivacious daughter Kristina. Our love for the Island grows deeper every year to the extent that we need to share it with as many people as possible. I believe our love for each other grows every year as a result of our time spent together in our favorite place on earth. If you truly love something, the best thing you can do, and what brings you joy, is to share it with others. That’s what prompted me to create this website.
Born and raised in New York City, I moved to Boston when I met the girl of my dreams, Karen, over 40 years ago. In 1995 we were blessed with our daughter Kristina who grew up with Aruba as her second home and who has been introducing her friends to Aruba’s many attributes. We offer varying perspectives that will benefit all ages. Share your interests with us and we will direct you to those things that will make your time in Aruba the best. Let us take you on a virtual tour of the Island and hopefully you will fall in love too!
Karen
Hi! I’m Karen. When we first visited the island, we absolutely loved it; especially the beautiful warm aqua sea where I could float on my raft while sipping a refreshing mojito! Despite continuing to visit most of the other Caribbean Islands in search of the perfect vacation destination, we found ourselves repeatedly drawn back to this happy little island where we’d spend a week at various beautiful hotel properties. When our daughter Kristina was 4 months old she made first trip to the island. We decided to stay longer at one of thetimeshare properties where we could eat in or dine out, enjoy the extensive activities offered and make many new friends. Our family has returned to our “home away from home” every year since introducing family and friends to all the island had to offer. What I enjoy most about Aruba is its family friendly, safe and welcoming attitude of the people that call Aruba home. Let us share some of our tips and insights into making your trip to Aruba one to remember!
Kristina
Hi! I’m Kristina and I’m the lucky daughter of two kind and life-loving parents. I’ve been to our beautiful island every year since I’ve been 3 months old, and spent almost a year of my life on the island during that time. I have always considered Aruba my second home. Aruba makes me feel safe, rejuvenated and loved. If I had to sum up the island in one word, it would be family. I have some of my most-cherished family moments on the island with my parents, we have Arubians whom we consider family there, and we love bringing new family members to the island to experience the shared joy. I’ve also brought my friends over the years, and Aruba proves to be a the perfect combination of fun and party. I am the videographer and website manager for Arubavinnie, and am elated for you to experience Aruba’s beauty. Plan a trip with us and I am 100% certain you won’t regret it. We are excited for you to become part of the Aruban family!
