Jennifer Richardson

Jennifer has firsthand experience of the island’s culture, traditions, and natural beauty. One of Jennifer’s favorite experiences in Aruba was her first carnival season. “Seeing Arubans come together to celebrate, dance, craft, and sing has been transformative. There’s really nothing like Aruban hospitality — the ability to welcome people from all walks of life into the warm embrace of our dushi community.”

Jennifer also enjoys indulging in simple island pleasures, especially hiking in Aruba and enjoying Aruba's unique nature and landscape. One of her personal favorites is a sunrise hike in Arikok National Park. “You get to enjoy some peace and quiet with the most scenic views, all while getting a workout in!” These hikes are, of course, followed by a hearty pastechi breakfast — which she highly recommends everyone try.
