    Another Hidden Talent in Jamaica “If you ever see her, If you ever meet her, If you ever get a chance to sit down and talk to her….” Those are lyrics from a Chris Brown song that popped into my head as I was starting this blog post. It fits perfectly with how we discovered…

    My Tribute to Asafa Powell Well Jamaica just won again and we never had any doubt that they’d bring home gold from the London 2012 Olympics. I’m just as proud as everyone to see the men’s 100m runners took it home! HOWEVER….I’m disappointed to say the very least, in the sportsmanship of Usain Bolt and…

    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…

    You all know that movie called “The Help” right? If you don’t know it I suggest you see it because it’s one of the most powerful movies I’ve watched and if I was alive in those days I would have surely been that white girl. I’d be the one who’s more interested in knowing more…

    Jamaica is full of  fun people. It’s human nature that people just want to be heard or connect in some way and if you just take the time to sit and talk to the average Jamaican on an average day you WILL connect. One of my examples is “Mikey”. He lives in the same neighborhood…

    This morning I was sitting here thinking that since I can’t go to Jamaica for a while I should start writing about my own city and the adventures one could have here, but then I realized that there would be no adventures because I’m normal in Calgary.  There is nothing different about me in my…

    Sometimes when I’m bored I go for lunch at Margaritaville because they have good internet and good nachos. I met a cool old guy who sort of works there and entertains people with his craft making. It’s really quite fun to watch him make his hummingbirds – he does it with such finesse! I sat…

    On a day in November I was driving from Negril to Ocho Rios the hard way – meaning cutting clean through the middle of the island hills instead of sticking to the main roads and going the fast way. We planned to have NO plan that day and just drive, and stop where ever we…

    This is just a fun and refreshing post. No real story to it but I captured some awesome pictures of kids on my trip in July. As I’ve said in previous posts Jamaican children are some of my favorite photo subjects. They’re all so cute and SO WILLING to pose! Okay maybe not all are…

    I wrote about this experience a long time ago but it was lost in some technical difficulties I had on the blog last year. But I just thought of it and really wanted to rewrite and share it again. There are no photos of the actual medicine man and surrounding area, it just didn’t feel…
