    I’m heading to Jamaica in the morning so I’ll leave you all with this cute and fun post! In February I had the opportunity to go up to Chalky Hill, St Ann to visit some family of one of my best girls. It was a hilarious afternoon with all the kids up there! We didn’t…

    As I’ve mentioned before, my favorite people in Jamaica are the kids. Even moreso, Jamaican school children in uniform. I LOVE that kids have to wear uniforms to school there! This day I was walking along a quiet road in the hills of St Mary when I came upon a primary school. I went into…

    Not much to say about this video except that it’s one of my favorite ones I ever took! I went to the library in Ocho Rios one day and these kids were just playing and singing in the yard right beside the library.  I pulled out my camera and they didn’t seem to mind!  You…

    On our way back from Nine Mile we decided to stop at a friend’s roadside bar in Coultart, near Claremont in the parish of St Ann. The girl I was traveling with used to live in this area and the bar was owned by her friend, nicknamed “Steaka”. Steaka has quite the little village in…

    This is just a fun post since I was going through my pictures since 2003 and started to notice a pattern! There is no shortage of over-friendly, affectionate Jamaicans! From young to old, they just wanna spread some love LOL! This youngster was too cute. His name is Fabian and he had to work to…

    Besides the fact that they’re cuter than all other kids put together, the one thing I will say about Jamaican children is BRING CANDY! If you plan on getting out into communities and interacting with Jamaican families, BRING CANDY! I go prepared with those huge bags of lollipops you can buy for a couple bucks…

    I’ve met a few Jamaican celebrities in my travels even though I have no proof of meeting any of them LOL. In 2003 (my first trip) I got to be up close and personal with Sean Paul in the VIP tent at one of his shows. The reason is because I won this trip specifically…

    Singing Jamaicans If there’s one thing I know about Jamaicans, they are NOT shy! They’re all up for performing any time, whether it be dancing, singing or any other form of putting themselves out there. I love this about them. What I’ve also learned is that even though 99% of them can dance like there’s…

    Hey everyone! I’m fresh off the plane back from Jamaica again and I’m running off 3 hours of sleep in the last 24 hours. I’ve been anxious to post something after 2 weeks away, and ever since I met this character 1.5 weeks ago I knew he’d be my first post when I got home.…

    Hang with locals I called this post “part 1” in case any of the other crazy things I’ve done pop into my mind. I’ll be sure to post them if they do. But for now I can think of one or two ways to meet Jamaican locals that stand out in my head. Being a…
