5+ Things to know when visiting Jamaica for the first time

Visiting Jamaica was an interesting experience for me because my wife has family in Jamaica. I was raised in the Caribbean, so I had an understanding of the cuisine, fruits, country, and the language. Now, as far as the language in Jamaica the dialect is Patios (Pat-wa), which can be difficult to understand for those unfamiliar with Caribbean accents. There are a few things I would like to share with you if you are interested in visiting Jamaica!

As long as I can remember, I would always see the commercials on TV about Las Vegas and have always wanted to see the city for myself.

7+ Things to expect when visiting New Orleans during New Years Eve!

New Orleans is one of my favorite cities in the U.S. The city is full of culture and there’s a lot to do in town. My first time visiting New Orleans, my wife and some friends went to spend New Year’s Eve. It was a 4:45 hour drive from the panhandle of Florida. When we got to the city it… was… COLDDDDDDDDD. We were dressed and prepared for chilly weather, but it was colder than we expected. It was so cold outside that my fully charged phone died in 3 minutes. Besides the cold weather, here are 7 things to expect when visiting New Orleans during New Years Eve. Please feel free to share and subscribe!

Writing a book? Here are some tips to help you!

Writing a book can seem very difficult if you aren’t familiar with the process. Now I must admit, there are some tedious steps involved in writing a book, but it’s not anything to pull your hair out over. I remember when I first thought about writing a book. It was in March or April of 2016. I started off by researching what I needed to do. In that research I came across a few articles stating “Writing a book was a waste of time.” I read the articles and it instilled a lot of doubt. From that point I struggled with starting to write my book. I would begin to write and then think that it wasn’t good enough and ended up starting over and over and over again. Eventually, I began to get frustrated and I gave up completely. I didn’t believe in my writing and I wasn’t disciplined enough to keep at it. Have you experienced this before? If so, you are not alone. Well, it is now 2021 and I am happy to report that I am in the editing phase of my novel. Here are some tips that can help you get started and keep going with writing a book.

Traveling to Grand Cayman? Here are a few things to know.

I was raised in the U.S Virgin Islands and have travelled to Puerto Rico, Jamaica, and plan on visiting Saint Lucia and Dominica later this year, but Grand Cayman was the first British Territory that I’ve ever visited. In the Caribbean chain of islands there are a few islands that are very well known like the ones I listed above. Grand Cayman gets talked about but it’s most likely because some businessmen and women create shell companies in the Cayman Islands. Other than that, we really don’t hear much about Grand Cayman. I went to Grand Cayman on a vacation to see what it was like on the island. Here are some things to know about the island that I learned during my experience.
