Unfortunately, we sometimes hear annoying things that happen to interns in Curaçao and you will undoubtedly hear them in the Netherlands. The question we often get from young people or parents is whether an internship in Curaçao is dangerous. The answer we immediately give is: ?No, it is not dangerous?. It is only how you behave as an intern on Curaçao that partly determines how your time here on the island will go.
Of course you always experience situations or cases that you can do nothing about, but the most sad and extreme events often arise from unwanted situations. Think of quarrels that get out of hand, going along with complete strangers or walking alone in the evening after going out. These are of course situations in which you should not end up and which fortunately you can control yourself.
Curacao is just as safe as a big city.
We always compare Curaçao with a large city such as Amsterdam or Rotterdam. Here you also have neighborhoods that you should not go to and you should not walk alone on the street at night. In addition, as a child you have been taught that you should not get into the car with complete strangers, so why do it on Curaçao?
We believe that an internship on Curaçao is safe and certainly not dangerous. Of course you also have less violent crime such as theft. This is of course also very annoying, but this type of crime can be overseen. We therefore advise everyone not to put things in sight and not to show off all your belongings. You are no longer so interesting to thieves.
