Aruba became my home. Now I get to share it with you.

I'm Helian, a photographer and content creator who's called Aruba home for the past eight years.

The longer I live here, the more I appreciate this island. Its peaceful atmosphere, the people, the opportunities, and the little things that make everyday life special, Aruba has given me so much, and sharing a little of that with others is one of the reasons I created this space.

It started with a camera.

I've loved photography since I was a kid, but it wasn't until 2021 that I bought my first camera, which I still have today. I started exploring Aruba through my lens, learning and discovering places I had never really noticed before. What began as a hobby eventually became my career. Through my work with GG Creative Productions, I had the opportunity to photograph weddings, work with well-known businesses, and meet incredible people from around the world. Over the years, I've delivered more than 400 photo galleries to families and couples, each with their own unique stories and memories. Photography has taught me that every person has a story worth capturing.

Why I created this space

Working with visitors from around the world made me realize something.

Working with visitors from around the world made me realize that many people come to Aruba with only a few days to explore, and planning the perfect trip isn't always easy. That's why I created this space: to share what I've learned from living on the island, discovering beautiful places, and connecting with travelers. From local tips and hidden gems to practical travel advice, my goal is to help you experience Aruba beyond the usual tourist spots and make the most of your time here.

A little more about me

Outside of photography, I'm a pretty laid-back guy who loves learning new things and exploring new ideas. I enjoy spending time with my wife and friends, playing video games, discovering new places, and anything involving music, technology, or creativity. I'm naturally curious, always working on something new, and I genuinely enjoy meeting people, hearing their stories, and making those around me feel comfortable.

Let's discover Aruba together.

My goal is simple: to help you feel a little more connected to Aruba before you even arrive. Through my travel guides, photography, and personal experiences, I hope to make planning your trip easier and inspire you to explore beyond the usual spots. Whether you're visiting for the first time or returning to the island, I want this space to feel like having a friend in Aruba who's happy to help. And if we ever cross paths on the island, don't hesitate to say hi!
