Bonaire is still unhurried and unspoiled
I am Soekarsi Phelipa, 31 years old. I’m a policy-advisor for work permits at DEZA, Department of Economic Affairs and Labor Office. I offer advice and assistance for all the work permit petitions submitted on Bonaire. I have worked here for almost five years now, after returning from Holland where I lived for seven years.
I was born in the hospital in Curacao and I came home to Bonaire when I was just two weeks old. I have called Bonaire my home all my life.
I enjoy playing tennis and have played tennis in Bonaire since I was six years old. From 16 to 18 years old, I was the Bonaire Champion. I represented the Island in the Netherlands Antilles Selection. I also helped to restart the JCI organization (The Junior Chamber International) here in Bonaire, in 2003. I still am an active member. I also like to swim.
My favorite places in Bonaire...Bonaire has too many nice spots to mention just three. Bonaire is still unhurried and unspoiled and I feel fairly secure here compared to the other islands.
