The Accident That Changed My Life — and Led Me Back to Curaçao
When Grace Winklaar’s life took an unexpected turn after a devastating accident, she lost more than just her ability to walk the streets of Curaçao — she lost her way of connecting with travelers face to face. But through faith, solitude, and a fierce love for her island, she found a new calling: to guide others through story. This emotional post shares how pain, purpose, and a leap of faith led to the creation of her digital Curaçao guide — a love letter to her island, and an invitation to explore it with heart.
From the Island Journal is Grace Winklaar’s personal space to share the soul of Curaçao — beyond the beaches and tourist stops. Through honest stories, local insights, and life lessons, Grace invites you to experience the island like family. Get ready for food, faith, culture, and connection — all through the eyes of a proud local.
