    This was a fun interview to do, of these two young Canadian girls who left life and moved to Jamaica. I remember before they made their move they had been reading my blog and had so many questions after I’d made my move to Jamaica in 2011. So it was great to be asking them…

    An American in Jamaica Submitted by April D. Thompson So it didn’t quite go down like the title suggests. In fact, I didn’t even tell my mother I was moving to Jamaica until after I actually arrived. Not that I don’t love her, but she, like many others, just wouldn’t understand. I’m a firm believer…

    I’m flying out tomorrow, back to Canada to visit my son for his birthday. This first two months living in Jamaica was always meant to be a test run because one never knows if they’re going to love something until they try it. I’m the most diehard Jamaica fanatic I know and I still knew…

    This wasn’t my first experience with a power cut in Jamaica but it was definitely the best one. Last night almost all of Ocho Rios and surrounding areas had a power outage and it turned into one of my most memorable nights in this country.
