SARA SAMSON WRITER/STYLIST Island Time in Curaçao, PG. 60 I live in Calgary. Describe Curaçao in five words Historic, unexpected, Dutch, relaxed and windy. My favourite part of Curaçao is The historic, up-andcoming Pietermaai neighbourhood. I fell in love with its Caribbean-European vibe. Oddest moment while on assignment Watching my art director eat iguana. I couldn’t eat it. Where next Mexico, to escape the last of winter— I’m thinking Cabo—and London in the spring.

ASSIGNMENT HIGHLIGHT “Working with the local models, photographer and makeup artist—they were all so knowledgeable and passionate about the island.”

I live in Toronto. Oddest encounter while on assignment A roadrunner in Palm Springs. We were surprised to learn that they really do go “beepbeep.” Must-pack item for family travel Professor Noggin’s educational card games about nature, science, history, and geography; you’ll all learn a lot. Don’t leave without Taking a group photo.

I live in Curaçao. If I were not a photographer I would be A helicopter pilot. Travel photo tip Play with the morning and late afternoon light. My favourite part of Curaçao is West Point. It has quiet, beautiful bays and a different look than the rest of the island.

For brunch Restaurant & Café Gouverneur de Rouville; it has great views of Sint Annabaai (Anna Bay).

I live in Orlando. Something few people know about me is I’m in heaven dining at a chef’s table.

Goodbye, menu. When friends come to town I take them to The Osprey Tavern in Baldwin Park.

Insider tip There’s theme park Orlando and there’s real Orlando.

The latter deserves a slice of your vacation time.
