Father Bull Restaurant & Jerk Center
By Naomi Isabel It seem that a lot of our memories from travels revolve around food. Think Jamaica and we think mouth watering charcoal smelling chicken and the freshest of bread so soft that you can practically dissolve its fluffiness in your mouth.

I Found a Lost Girl In Jamaica
She’s been there this whole time…. As if I haven’t discovered enough magical moments in Jamaica, I have now found my lost inner girl because of this motorbike tour of the south coast. Everything I do on the island seems to be a fortuitous random happening and had I not jumped into this guy’s…

Lovers Leap – St Elizabeth, Jamaica
Lovers Leap on Jamaica’s south coast is one of those natural wonders kind of like Niagara Falls – you can’t even understand it’s magnitude until you’ve been there and seen it. Pictures and video do it NO justice whatsoever. I had to go discover it for myself. This was another fabulous road trip made possible…
