A Swarming In Parry Town
On a Random Day in Jamaica…. I LOVE days with no agenda. It leaves room for these most random and treasured moments to happen. This afternoon which turned into night began with having lunch with two Canadian friends in Ocho Rios. That lunch turned into the three of us driving up to one of our…

Meeting An Absolute Travel Addict
This post is WAY overdue but I was just reminded that I wanted to post about it when I was flipping through photos of my last 2-month stay in Jamaica. A while back I did a post about a girl kind of like me…picked up and moved her solo self to Kingston, Jamaica. You can…

Nash Lawson – He Really Does It All
I get a chance to meet many interesting people through my travels in Jamaica, but none that do quite as much as Nash Lawson aka DJ Turbo. He’s a DJ / Singer / Writer / Producer / Bar owner and I found him the same way I find everyone in Jamaica…..by accident. I’m always doing…

Caught on Someone’s Camera!
I guess after almost three years I should reveal a little part of my TRUE self when in Jamaica. I admit, I’m a party girl at heart – once or twice a week. Ask any foreign girl who’s ever partied with me in Jamaica and they’ll tell you they’ve seen me in some compromising situations…

Nathaniel Was Born With It
Jamaican Drummer Boy Nathaniel is two years old and doesn’t even speak yet, but he’s got coordination most adults don’t have. He comes by his talent naturally since his uncle and his mother are drummers so he’d been listening to beats even before he was born. As I sat and watched this little one I…

Local Talent in Ocho Rios
This was a random day lingering at Fishermans beach in Ocho Rios and these dudes just started up. They were all over me filming them and providing their contact info, everyone in Jamaica who has a talent wants to be a star so I told them I would put them on the internet. I enjoyed…

Busy Signal A Mi Artist!
This is a fun post to commemorate what a great thing my friend Dominique did while interviewing Busy Signal. I’ve been meaning to make this little video for a long time, but I get sidetracked easily. Busy is my #1 artist and she knows it because every time she writes about him on her site…

Bounty Killer Entertainment
So do you all remember the artist we met named PolkaDat? Well one evening we invited him and his friend over for dinner. I was in Jamaica with my son at the time and we linked up with another Canadian girl at the apartment she was renting in Ochi. These two guys did all the…

Jamaican Boys & Clarks
For those of you who don’t know, all the songs about Clarks (yes the shoes) sung by Vybz Kartel have pretty much taken over the island. For those of you who DO know, this post will totally make sense. One morning I was taking a shower in my guest house and out the bathroom window…
