    Hi, found your channel and immediately subscribed 😊. I’m from Jamaica and living in the US since the 80’s. Recently took my husband who was born in Ohio to the Moon Palace in Ocho Rios and he literally didn’t want to leave. He absolutely loved it! Love your place, best decision you made to move. Hope I can also move back to my roots soon. Best of luck and thanks for sharing.

    Your video just popped up and I am happy it did. I have a rental in St. Ann and I always say I would rent it to expats who just wants to experience Jamaica for 3 or 4 months. I am expat myself now so I know hard it is and that's why I am always open to accept expats.

    Hi Mocha, happy Sunday. I think the hardest part was finding a place you like. The easy part is taking your time and making yours. Not sure why anyone would have an issue with how much you are paying for rent it’s wayyyy cheaper than in the states. You’re doing this for you not for ppl, so ppl will always have things to say. I love your new place, just the view alone sold me. Enjoy your new home, take your time putting it together. Mocha I was part of your community for returnees, I have been having a difficult time finding an international remote position. Should I email you?

    Hello, I came across your channel and wanted to commend you on your move. I was an expat there for a long time and what I found helpful is connecting w other Americans or Canadians there . I found my first place just talking to a lady at the market. I'm not that sociable at that time so just the energy spent making phone calls for utilities, driving license, tax cards and stuff was a lot for me , because my time isn't their time .🤣🤣 Learning patience was key ! I loved it had kids there no regrets . I wish you the best !!

    Most people don’t have time or to be on the ground .. 7:12 expats also do not know any of the areas.
    I live in Fort Lauderdale. I can’t tell how many time tourists think Miami , palm beach , Orlando are close by .. 😊 or want to visit so many states in 2 days. The concept of large are small the country is … and road/traffic, walk score etc. requires some experience.
    Simple offer that professional services . It’s a niche service.. but you are trusted more than a realtor
    There are many rentals not on the Jamaica mls realtor listing.
    Online is extremely $$$ high
