    Everyone always wants to know how people move to Jamaica, manage to stay long term and survive.  This is another post in what I hope becomes a bigger category of success stories. I virtually met (through this blog) and have been chatting with a woman named Sarah for quite some time now.  When she saw…

    It’s Good Friday in the world today and I’m packing my bags again to leave late on Easter Sunday night.  I’m setting out on a do-over of last year’s move to Jamaica, only this time I won’t be fending for myself so much.  It’s interesting this time though, there’s not my usual excitement in the…

    Ain’t it funny how the universe works. After a semi-failed attempt to relocate to Jamaica at this EXACT SAME TIME last year, and subsequent 9 months of not being able to set foot on the island, several months of unemployment, and random other road blocks….the planets have aligned and BAM!!! All you fans in my…

    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…

    Running A Business In Jamaica Not only have these interviews been educational, they have been enlightening for me and hopefully for all you Jamaica lovers too. The best way to learn about living in Jamaica or running a business in Jamaica is to go straight to the source and talk to people who have already…

    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…

    The book is released! Less than a week ago I published the compilation of my entire Jamaica story starting from my discovery to my obsession to my move and what happened with it all. This blog post is a recap of how the book came together and why. In July of 2010 I wrote three…

    Since I’m in Canada for a few weeks and I’m lacking Jamaica stuff to write about I thought I’d turn it over to my readers to give me something to write about.  I asked the fans in my FACEBOOK GROUP to ask me any question and I would answer in a blog post.  So here’s…

    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…
