St James, Jamaica
Moving clockwise from Hanover we now enter the parish of St James, Jamaica. Pretty much every single Jamaica tourist in the world has been to St James because they all land in Montego Bay. Although I’m not a big fan of the Montego Bay area I have made some awesome discoveries there, along with the…

Hanover, Jamaica
Continuing on in my parish project, one of my readers suggested I move clockwise from where I started with Westmoreland. That would take us to Hanover. This post will be short because I haven’t spent much time in Hanover but as I found out with Westmoreland, word travels and readers have much to add.

The Journey of a Thousand Frustrations….
….Begins with a missing road sign… This journey is proof that what is second nature to a Jamaican is absolute chaos to a foreigner who’s never done it. Getting to the south coast of Jamaica was easy because I took the obvious coastal route from Montego Bay, spent a night in Negril because my flight…

Christmas at the Trenchtown Reading Center
By Naomi Isabel Unlike every other Christmas where I would of course be with my two amazing children I made the choice to bring Christmas to the children of the Trenchtown reading center. The day I arrived to do the market shopping there was no one at the center yet so I got taken by…
