This sounds so familiar I feel as if you have written my story. It will be interesting to hear you feelings after a few months.
Jamaica is a vibe. It's paradise on earth. American film star once described the island as more beautiful than any woman. It's my happy place❤
Thanks for verbalizing our thoughts so eloquently.
Another commenter said it, thank you for so eloquently expressing how so many of my family members and myself feels. I moved away in my early teens, I’m a grown woman now with so much accomplished and nothing fills my soul like being home. At one point I didn’t think I could move back because of cost of living but when I closed out the naysayers and actually did my research I knew it was doable. I’ll be moving back in a few years and I CANNOT WAIT!! I love my country, my people, my culture, even the stray dogs and cats running around in the neighborhood 😂😂. Anyway I could on but thank you for sharing and best wishes to you.
You go brother! I’m right behind you. There’s nowhere like home, Jamaica.
You from st Ann’s bay like me Jamaica 🇯🇲 is paradise
New subscriber here! Much respect for living out your life on your own terms. Jamaica my home is simply magic!
Just so beautiful. I can’t wait to go back… very soon 🤞🏾!! Thanks for sharing this video of our beautiful island 🇯🇲🇺🇸❤️🙏🏽🌺🌻
This is so beautifully done! I maybe biased because some of your experiences are similar to my first return after 10 years in Canada also subsequent trips...the St. Ann is also my area..although i grew up more in the hills...near Moneague...please keep us posted with more experiences

Your story my story his story .this is exactly how I feel there is something about this little Island that words cannot explain Material things can never fill the empty hearts or space in my life
New subscriber. Needing to hear your truth and seeing. I am hooked from the onset. 😊
I can relate to every word you have said. I miss Jamaica so much! 😢 Lord willing one day I shall return. 🙏
Jamaica is like haven below
I had to subscribe . You are so real. I really hope I will be as brave as you are to go back. So afraid of the crime.
Good luck brother ❤
Jamaica is lovely
With a bit of patience, Jamaica is definitely a wonderful place. I
Why didnt you use your voice ..it would be more authentic.. believable... I love Jamaica most of us do as thats where we were born grew up played from sun up to sun down with friends. Catching fish in the creek in St Elizabeth the best summer vacation . its still the best summer holiday i ever had..
Why is there a bot voice telling ur story?🙄
That is not how Jamaican talk . It would come across more meaningful if you talk patwa . lol 😂
What a load of propaganda. Jamaica is a nice place brother but you are over doing it. No insult to Jamaica I would say the same thing about any other country that you go about over dramatizing in this way and not even using your own natural speaking voice. It makes me wonder if there is a shred of realness still existing in this world

I appreciate your perspective and understand where you're coming from. I didn't mean to come off as overly dramatic or insincere. Jamaica, like any place, has its positives and negatives, and I was just trying to highlight the good aspects. It's easy to get carried away sometimes, especially when you're passionate about something. However this is my experience, born and raised in the Jamaican countryside for 16 years, against the backdrop of 30 years living in London England.
