They call him "Driver of the Stars," but Jerimiah would be the first to tell you he's just a man who loves his island and knows its roads like the lines on his hands. In a world of GPS and Google Maps, Jerimiah navigates by memory, by story, and by the kind of intuition that only comes from a lifetime of koriendo these sun-soaked streets.
More Than Just Transportation
When you step into Jerimiah's immaculate vehicle, you're not just getting a ride—you're getting a mobile concierge, a cultural ambassador, and sometimes, a therapist who prescribes beach therapy and trankilidad.
"Every guest has a story," Jerimiah says, adjusting his rearview mirror with the precision of a ship's captain setting course. "My job isn't just to get them from point A to point B. It's to understand what kind of journey they need."
The Navigator's Secret Knowledge
Ask Jerimiah about the best beach, and he won't give you just one answer. He'll ask: "Are you looking for waves or whispers? Crowds or solitude? Sunset or sunrise?" Because in Jerimiah's world, every beach has its moment, every road has its story, and every journey should match your mood.
"The tourists, they always want to go to the same five places. But Curaçao? She has a hundred secrets. My job is to match the right secret with the right soul."
This is the difference between a driver and Jerimiah. He doesn't just know where the flamingos gather at dawn (though he does). He knows which bakery opens earliest for fresh pan bati, where the locals go for authentic kabritu stoba, and exactly which unmarked road leads to that hidden cove where the water is so clear you can see your future.
Why Jerimiah Is Family
When Tommy Coconut was looking for someone to ensure our guests' journeys were as memorable as their destinations, we didn't post a job listing. We asked the island: "Who would you trust with your grandmother, your children, and your secrets?" Every finger pointed to Jerimiah.
He's the one who remembers that Mrs. Johnson from last year loves to stop at the fruit stand for fresh sorsaka. He's the one who keeps a cooler of cold water in the trunk during hot season. He's the one who will take the long way just to show you the sunset from that perfect cliff, timing it so you arrive exactly when the sky explodes in gold.
Every Mile Is a Memory
Jerimiah doesn't believe in rushing. "The Americans, they always want to go fast, fast, fast," he says with a gentle laugh. "But in Curaçao, we know: the journey is the destination. Why race past paradise?"
This philosophy extends to everything he does. He'll stop if you want to photograph that perfect view. He'll wait patiently while you buy fresh coconut water from a roadside vendor. He'll turn the music down when you want to hear the waves, and turn it up when you need to feel the island rhythm in your bones.
The Star Treatment
They say everyone is famous in a small town, but in Jerimiah's vehicle, everyone truly is a star. He treats each guest like visiting royalty—not with stiff formality, but with the genuine warmth of someone who believes every person deserves to feel special.
This is why we call him Driver of the Stars. Not because he chauffeurs celebrities (though he has stories he'll never tell), but because he makes everyone feel like one. In Jerimiah's care, you're not just another tourist. You're family exploring their island home, with the best guide imaginable at the wheel.
"When my guests leave, I want them to remember more than just where we went. I want them to remember how Curaçao made them feel. That's the dushi way."
