Jamaica is one of the most democratic places on earth. Jamaicans, we, suffer from what I called the North American mirror affect. We see only the goodness in the US and Canada and compare ourselves daily. Happy you found your happy place on my beloved island. Enjoy.
I agree completely!!! Many Jamaicans only come to learn this once they have already gone and moved to these other places seeing that the grass is not always greener. There's work that needs to be done but it's not worth being detrimental to the emotional and mental well being.
I left Jamaica when I was 20 for a "better life" in Florida. Bwoy was I wrong! Right now Jamaica represents STRESS RELIEF. Very few feelings can be compared to what I feel when the plane is landing in Montego Bay and I see the mountains, the clear blue water and the sound of patois (patwa) when I get to the terminal and start to re-live the things that make Jamaica what it is. Tonic for the soul.
One way Jamaica influenced my life is that I realized there was a whole country with people who value the same things as I did. For the first time in my life, I felt totally a peace and among friends, even though we were strangers 💖
That woman sitting at the computer smoking, looking miserable looks nothing like you now. That is almost a completely different person. You are phenomenal and I am glad you found your personal equilibrium. Not many people do.
Well as a Jamaican I learnt when I moved to Europe how we undervalue our resources and even take them for granted... The greatest of which is SUNSHINE!! Nice one Irena
Irina I really believe that you are destroying the negative narrative of Jamaica. Their is good and bad everwhere but for so long Jamaica have had some people who would only dwell on the negatives. Its good to see actual research and numbers and of course good editing and production.
That is why people need to travel so they can see that Jamaica is a great place to lived compare to a lot of other countries. Really love this video 🇯🇲🇯🇲
Jamaica is my favourite place in the world and I love love all the green, turquoise and colors that is making me very happy and inspired. And it is filled with a warm and kind people with the best sense of humor!
I like the food. It is healthy. In Canada all the food is full of sugar, salt and hormones. It makes me feel sick. In Jamaica I feel physically better. I can’t wait to go back!
I feel you with that depression thing. I’m from Finland and I have been very depressed last 13 years of my life. When I started dancehall I have found some joy in my life again. I hope I can visit Jamaica someday. Thank you for these videos ❤️
I missed the kindness that comes natural from the people,example I was driving to the beach when I got a flat tire within second of that happening cars were stopping to help me. If it happens to me in Canada where I live it can take hours before someone stop to check on me thank god for roadside assistance lol.
Amen! I can empathise with u. I was going up Spur Tree hill in car with my Dad; car started to overheat n lose power. Very quickly a kind man came to assist - I offered him $$; but he refused saying he works at Alpart n make $$! I was shocked. Another time I took Dad to lunch at Vegas restaurant on Crane Rd., near Blk Rvr., had a flat tire - the Chef n others changed z tire in a few mins. Again, on Middle Qtrs road, car broke down. JCF pushed car to safety n called wrecker quickly all with smiles. 😁
I am a Jamaican and I live in Switzerland. I do videos on traveling and my experiences living in Switzerland. I never believed in depression until living here. 2019 is blurry in my memory because of depression. I am slowly transition back home bit by bit. Thanks Irene
Irena, PM (Minster of Tourism😁), I am happy for you. I am glad that my little country made such a big impact on your life. Keep enjoying and loving life and keep representing Jamaica. Big Up! 👊🏿💪🏿♥️
Irina this was a powerful post. I feel you on so many levels. Life in Cda comes w a multitude of blessings however your touch points on mental health, infections, colds, lack of light and colour, exhaustion, burnout from long hours and commute - these elements are real in the Northern hemisphere so I totally feel you on that. Smoking too. I started when I was 11. Quit on and off over the yrs but again smoke regularly - half pack a day. So, if I can share one very personal story w you about what Jamaica has done for me (as a reg visitor who stays & lives w locals) is the love and healing I rec'd after my mother was murdered in 2019. I left Cda a mos after to stay in JA and try to pause and catch my breath. The protection and care I received was spiritual even from the moment my feet entered Jamaican customs... the immigration officer asked why I was back in JA so soon and I told her the truth. She had tears in her eyes and explained for my benefit how the entry and duration requirements etc work. The kindness kept coming - from strangers who saw me sobbing throughout diff times of that mos long trip and spoke a kind word. To friends, airbnb hosts who nurtured me when I got I'll from the shock. I mean I can go on and on Irina, but to say JA literally put wind beneath my wings that trip and sent me home w strength to face days ahead is no exaggeration. So for me pers Jamaica has given me time and again humanity and grace. Jamaicans are as beautiful as their country 🙏 and I am very protective of them and their country. Grateful beyond words ✌️
I'm so sorry for your loss Kate, but so glad you found love, comfort, support, grace and kindness even in strangers in Jamaica and that doesn't surprise me. Jamaica get's a very bad press even from its own people overseas, but the positives outweigh the negatives and Jamaican's on the whole are warm, friendly, kind and funny people and the majority want to live in peace and it's always the minority of bad people who spoil it for the majority. My parents are Jamaican and I live in London UK, but I'm going to get my citizenship soon because one has procrastinated far too long on that subject. I don't care what they say, I LOVE JAMAICA and it loves me back, it's good for me and my health, mentally too. May the good Lord bless you and keep you and bring you back again soon. Blessings!🙏🏾🇯🇲
@@KayKay-l2t Thank you so much Karen for your kind words. Yes, I agree with you- I have experienced far more positives and grace in JA than what is sometimes projected by the diaspora. I hope you do get your citizenship and buy a little pce of the rock for yourself to enjoy. Stay blessed 🙌
@@giniolamy Isn't it odd, that some Jamaican tend to say, Jamaica is the only place in the world that has this or that? I never quite understand that as its not true!
Irene I'm glad you posted this video. I'm jamaican born but live in Canada for 46 years. I'm 54 years old. Whenever I don't take a trip home I get really depressed and miserable. I have a house now in Jamaica and can't wait for covid to be over so I can spend time home doing my gardening. I even loose weight and my skin glows. The hair braiding from my prospective is a western society way of thinking. Jamaica/ west indies don't care. They often braid other people hair from other countries.
You are so right! As soon as you landed in Jamaica and coming off that plane you can feel the difference of being stress free. It’s only a pity those men who are causing Jamaica to have a bad reputation, to love their women and treat them with love and respect instead of killing them off like birds and causing others to be scared of coming home.
I will be honest with you. There are a lot of people here in JA who make one situation into a major problem. I wont lie corruption exists but you either have to find it or bump into it. So don't follow most naysayers. In regards to your top 5, you around the computer in Ukraine always smoking vs now is really a big difference. Its always refreshing to hear your family is actually enjoying living here. Things most Jamaicans see as problems are insignificant in your eyes and that gives me a new meaning to the saying. "Seeing the world through someone else's eyes"
Irina, your hair is beautiful, I love it. Millions of women from all races would love to have your hair. Embrace your hair, love your hair, give God Yahweh many thanks and praise for your beautiful hair. Well done.🌹🥀🌷🌺🌸🏵️🌻🌼💐⛱️🏖️🌅🌄⭐🌟🌍🍋🍌🍍🍊🍑🍉🍎🍒🍓🥑🌽🍆🍶🍹🍸🍷🍻🥂🍾
Baby when she released that mane I almost fell off my chair!! 🤣🤣🤣 I had no idea she was hiding all that hair in a bun. It’s like she became a different woman & I’m here for it 😍
My sister I love you your family for moving here to our island home making it your own. Thank you for these vlogs you do so us Jamaicans can see how beautiful our island paradise is
Irena This video has given true meaning to the ad run by the Ja Tourist Board .. "Come to Jamaica and you'll feel alright " I think they should now do a new ad...."Come to Jamaica and you'll be able to kick the habit." Glad you have not experienced the corrupt government workers. Some of the policemen have ripped off motorists and small businesses. The wharf workers are also corrupt, they are known to rip off poor people who have to clear their goods. I wish everyone in Ja will see your videos and realize that things are not as bad as they think.
Greetings try to get your TRN and bank account Jamaican ID out the way, Montego Bay mandeville Ocho Rios Falmouth Portland Hanover and uptown Kingston is some really nice place to live.
Jamaica is a very fun place to live, I’m happy Jamaica can change your life. I wise this video goes viral so that all Jamaicans can see that we are not as bad as they say we are
Thanks for sharing!! As a Jamaican living overseas for over 30 years, I’m definitely planning on returning home because there’s no place like Jamaica. Whenever I do visit which I do twice per year, I get that calming peaceful spirit. I miss being in Jamaica everyday, that’s all I talk about and my plans are place for returning. 🇯🇲
I've also been living overseas for over 30 yrs and feel the exact same as you do. Whenever I return home to JA for vacation, I get that peaceful, serene feeling just stepping off the plane. Everything about JA makes me feel happy on the inside... it's like you have a permanent smile on your face...:) I'm actually working on my plan to move back to JA permanently. Can't wait!
I have to return at times to watch your videos. Very few on other platforms are making much sense. When I need a proper and educational watch I tune in to your channel by default. Super content, even when it is a story about yourself, you manage to place the way Jamaica has made a positive difference in your life, even while many Jamaicans are constantly criticizing the land of their birth.
Thanks Irie for this very insightful vlog...I just spoke to a member of the diaspora last evening and told him that Jamaica is it for me. I am extremely happy and comfortable here. I can get to a mountain, river , beach, city all in 30 minutes either way.
My first visit to Jamaica was in 1988. I remember getting off the bus and feeling a sense of peace come over me I had never felt . Love your videos and we love to highlight Jamaica on our channel as well . One Love ❤️
I am a Jamaica form ( Portland) Most beautiful parish in JA.😃 I live in the United States.. I have been following your videos (blogs) for sometime now , and I must say I love them it’s also a part of the reason why am making preparations to return home after being gone for a long time .. all the best on all you do much love
Thank you for your post u made me see my country in a different light. What I love most about Jamaica 🇯🇲 is people we make light of everything and we know how to have fun
Irina, this is a great video, so much personal relevance for me.....I came to America in my 20’s, worked hard for many years but things have changed. In the winter season I am depressed with the cold, eat more, I am more sleepier and my blood pressure is higher. My desk job is so stressful, I have constant neck pain. After much thought, there is really nothing left for me in America anymore. I am working on a 15 month transition plan back to Jamaica; I hope I make it.
This may sound strange, coming from someone who left Jamaica at 16, and is now almost 55, but Jamaica's influence on me has a Youth growing up is STILL GUIDING me today. This is in terms of COMMUNUTY TOETHERNESS, and looking out for one another. I grew up in s very small Country (Rural) Village in St. Ann (near Ochi). And everyone was like Family and treated each other that way. Yes, you had your bickering here and there, but overall, it was a Tight Knit community. And even with changes in the Community since I was a kid, I still see that Community Togetherness whenever I go back home. As I have grown, and lived in various types of Communities, traveled the World, and across rhe USA, I find that this sense of "Community" that I grew up with, Helped me to easily adapt, and become Friends with those I meet.
I am Jamaican and glad to know you are enjoying the beautiful country with your family and highlighting the good and bad of Jamaica 🇯🇲in a educational way, nuff.blessings
I love how you highlighted the issue with the cockpit country and compared to Ukraine. You help us to see from another perspective in such a simple way. I really appreciate you vlogs. Jamaican living in the UK.
There's a teacher who makes videos and lives in Jamaica. He has videos on the Cockpit Country and I think he gives regular updates on the status of the situation
I agree with you anytime i visit home i never use any lotion or facial moisturizer as soon as i return to the usa my skin dry out , i finally realized it's the water 🇯🇲
Great episode, Irina! Reminded me how in December 2003 I flew to Jamaica because I felt so depressed in Ukraine! Some of the friends said I’m crazy and advised me not to go to Jamaica because it’s dangerous. I didn’t believe so and I said: “Even if it was dangerous over there I’d still go because I heard there’s lots of smiling people and sunshine” 😉
Aliona your last sentence is very powerful and emotive, meaning it touched and held me in awe. You intend to go somewhere far, because there are smiles along with sunshine there, even if it's dangerous. Wow, Just wow. Tell that man to take you home now, you need Jamaica more than you know.
@@alionalopez6330 Trust me. One problem you will not have is quality education in Jamaica. The Prep Schools (private) are typically at the highest of standards. The good thing about Jamaica, when private or public schools, they all wear uniforms, and sit the same exams to matriculate to High School, and the same exams to University.
Ministry Of Tourism...here is your new Ambassador of Expats...or Ambassador of Relocation to Jamaica...job..to get foreigners to relocate to Jamaica...here name is Irene..from Irie Jamaica....say thank you. Edit I am never leaving Jamaica.
I absolutely love this video, the realness, the humor, Irina you had me laughing from the start of the video. Now my son is asking me when are we moving to Jamaica I think he’s been watching too much of your videos
Jamaicans are always finding ways to enjoying their selves regardless of their situations it could be hurricanes, earthquakes, covid what ever the situation is they will take it as a joke 😂.
Irena I realize that this was done in Jan, however it was a beautiful video. I was born in the blue mountain hills of Portland and it was the Jamaican way of thinking that saved my life. Remember now, I came here as a child but that Jamaican teaching and attitude will never leaves you. I went blind in the SARS outbreak for ten years because SARS hit Canada in 2003, working on the frontlines as a critical care nurse. I lost everything to my name and went down to 51 pounds and covered in bedsores. Many people would have killed themself but the Jamaican in me made me fought back....it made me strong and I went back to university and got two masters degree with the help of a service dog named Nefertiti. I only survive because of the Jamaican drive that was instill in me as a young child. By the way your skin looks great and cigarette smoking is not something Jamaican women do. I am happy for you. love light and kindness from Canada
Seeing this a day late. Thank you for highlighting the positives about OUR Country, (you are one of us). Jamaica’s motto “Out of many ONE people”. I didn’t value Jamaica so much until I started traveling, and I travel extensively because of my job. Glad that Jamaica has changed your life. One love from NYC.
Great Vlog as usual Irina!!! You were beautiful before you moved to Jamaica but you are like a Shining Star 🌟 now that you are living in Jamaica 🇯🇲 Take care of yourself!! Stay Safe!! Looking forward to your next Vlog!! 😃👍🏽
Love your Hair! That's natural beauty! Embrace it for that is you... God's gift to you! So many good gems for others to see both locally in Jamaica and in cold weather countries. Jamaica is truly a Paradise and she should always be appreciated and protected. "The Land of Wood and Water."
Im jamaican born and bred I really love your perception of our country when compared to yours we do live in paradise I've always been appreciative of what we have despite the bad coverage we get all the time but now I'm gonna learn to embrace my homeland even more we are truly bless
Insightful, nice to see the things Jamaicans take for granted all the bad people go through in life there are other folks that goes through worst,Welcome to Jam Rock Irene.😘
I watch your videos when I am home sick. Makes me realise that where I am now is not my home. I look forward to going home for good soon. Thank you 👊🏾🇯🇲
I am from holland we have the same problems here as in ukrain (no corruption) but smoking ,depressions. I can imagine that your life is so mutch better in jamaica. Love to watch your videos so i can see the real jamaica ( not the tourist part) I am planning to go to jamaica in 2022 for 3 weeks and travel over the island. So thanks for the videos they show the real jamaica it’s very helpful Keep up the good work
Yes those "Coffee Houses" in the district is crazy. Spent some time there working on Arena Blvd, and staying at the Renaissance Hotel close to the district. Smoking depression is real. I never smoked, but i appreciate that people do not walk around smoking on the street. Even when its illegal in Jamaica, you go to some corners and the smoke from nostrils looks like chimneys :) ...AJAX fan
Hello and good day again I'm going through your videos that I missed this is absolutely 100% correct. Now granted I am bald I do not have a frizzy hair problem. But my wife does the fact that she can do what you need to do with it very easily is a joyous occasion for everybody. Irina thank you for these videos what you explain here is fantastic. I will never be able to thank you enough. Honestly I never had the courage to respond to these videos because I felt like I wasn't qualified but I can tell you after visiting the country 12 times and buying a home there you are so spot on. I hope everybody pays attention to this!
Awesome thought provoking perspective.The grass always seems to be greener on the other side.We as a nation have many to be grateful for and yet have many more rooms for improvements.Thanks for sharing your perspective
Jamaica is paradise on earth I always say this I wish if all Jamaica could get the chance to travel and see the world and then they would appreciated what they have.
Irina! Thank you for Highlighting the positives and negatives of Jamaica 🇯🇲 Your views are well balance and facts about JamRock💯 All Jamaicans must cherish the Rock. Build Jamaica! Land we Love 🎇🎉🏡🇯🇲💯
Once again your teaching have been so masterful and informative, each video continues to deepen my appreciation of beautiful Jamaica. Looking forward to the next one. Thank you so much
First to say is that i love the natural beauty of jamaica and that influence me to stay here and live here..... and I'm happy to hear that you got over your bad habits lol your funny lol welcome to our one love one heart family in the land of wood and water lol
I love how Irina is always happy and positive! It's a dream of my that I will never achieve.. Respect tebe Irinocka! Sciastje I liubvi tebe I semje tvojej!
After spending time overseas from time to time, Jamaica is my favorite place to be whether it's summer or winter. Positive vibration year- round is very important to my wellness.
Thank you to choose Jamaica as one of the best country in the world thank you with the great motivation and the strength of you to choose Jamaica you will come home much respect to you 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💜💜💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏💜💜💙🇯🇲
✨☀️🇯🇲☀️✨ ✨Jamaica is a PURE PARADISE✨ I’ve been going to Jamaica since 1994 and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT💗 I know I will be relocating to Jamaica soon. I feel it in my bones! I watch you videos often sometimes 2-3x, and watching this particular video my inner voice said, “Look how everything fell into place for Irina, everything came together for her, not how she planned but just how it needed to be.” ✨I gotta feeling that same thing will happen for me, I just have to take the leap of faith✨ Thank you for your inspiring videos, Irina 💋
My godness- I love your beautiful full hair and I am thrilled you are able to find the products in JA to keep your hair shiny and soft. As for the US, ignore the haters because the US has no place to judge anyone in other countries about acceptance of ones self. US put every one in categories and get treated as such so most of us just carry on and ignore the silly structures in place to make some feel better about themselves. Seriously though, I was entertained watching the flashback vids in Ukraine post life - your craving for a cigarette had me in stitches. Yes smoking is not something you will see the people partake in for sure. As for the corruption bit, I commend your experiences and sharing it with us putting the myth of brides etc at rest. Yes indeed, there may be times when you may have to bribe to get things moving along a little quicker but in most cases, business is conducted the legal way. Thanks again for another great vid showcasing your passion, high energy, positivity and creativity! One Love!
In my circle, we would call you an evangelist of the Jamaican gospel and this would be your conversion and transformation testimony. So powerful! I am happy your life changed and I am happy you were open minded enough to seek that change even if it meant relocating to somewhere new.... you inspire me. I really appreciate you sharing these videos. Keep up the good work!!! Love and blessings ❤
What i love about my country are the people. I have been driving from i was 18. These are 20 year old cars that had bad tyres. Every week the tyres puncture. IRIE, I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE CHAGE A CAR TYRE. The men dont hesitate to stop and help. I have had men give me there spare tyre because they discover that mine was flat. Lol. Told me to go straight to a specific tyre shop and he will pick up his spare later. When i was pregnant, wow. My bags were carried to the car etc. Thsts what i love. The people.
Thank you for the support and feedback! Not sure I can find your message there, lol! There are a lot of messages in FB, and I;m just finishing my email first 🤔 Any chance you can forward the message to jamaicawithirie@gmail.com? Thank you! And sorry for the inconvenience, I didn't realize there would be more messages coming than I can handle, lol.
Omg...same hair, smoking history, disdain for dry winter air......I love your honesty and down to earth humanity. Even though I am a generation older and raised in a completely different environment I can not agree and relate to your words more. Thank you for sharing.
It is difficult to explain to someone the joys and happiness you experience just by being in Jamaica because on paper most other developed countries have much more suitable amenities to facilitate growth and well-being. Such a lucky thing we tend not to live our lives on paper ($$$$$) Another well put together video. Thanks thanks thanks
I can so related to this episode I moved to London UK when I was 11 years old now almost 37 years old. I tell my self I will move back home I love the simple organic lifestyle.
hey I live some what close to you and for me your content is so unique and amazing. seeing Jamaica for your eye is a fresh look at my beautiful home.. A lot of us Jamaican do not know how amazing Jamaica is on till they travel and realize how much freedom we have here.. Thank you.. keep up the amazing work
Dwayne, so true. I never truly appreciated Jamaica until I moved away, and started travelling back home. I am fortunate to have the opportunity to travel down every 2-3 years (sometimes more often). And one day I hope to travel back and forth multiple times per year, spending a month or more at a time when I'm down there. The "Dream Is Real" for me on this one...
So happy you still luv our likke island in spite of the negativity that is being portrayed all over the world. In spite of the crime n violence here, I wouldn't live anywhere else, luv my country too much. I would never ever want to experience racism which I fear deeply. I would love to visit other countries but never to live there. I was born here and feel so comfortable in spite of the negativities. Thanks for sharing Irena..one luv💙🇯🇲
I get you...in winter my body does not seems to want to work...after having my twins and almost died giving birth and medical intervention saved me....my body feels like it's not my own...when in Jamaica I feel like myself but when in Canada it's a different feeling. My hair is more manageable in Jamaica 🇯🇲 as well. In Canada 🇨🇦my hair is always dry....I get you....keep smiling 😃and keep my little paradise alive
Another amazing video from Irina. You’re probably the only person on UA-cam that I don’t speed up because you always have such good research and information. I can see the transformation in your personality. Jamaicans are very resilient people. Another amazing video
Jamaica is one of the most democratic places on earth. Jamaicans, we, suffer from what I called the North American mirror affect. We see only the goodness in the US and Canada and compare ourselves daily. Happy you found your happy place on my beloved island. Enjoy.
Thank you
I agree completely!!! Many Jamaicans only come to learn this once they have already gone and moved to these other places seeing that the grass is not always greener. There's work that needs to be done but it's not worth being detrimental to the emotional and mental well being.
I love that juxtaposition and concept of the “North American mirror”. I will adopt that in my discourse from now on.
@@prestonmatthews725 absolutely. Feel free.

I left Jamaica when I was 20 for a "better life" in Florida. Bwoy was I wrong! Right now Jamaica represents STRESS RELIEF. Very few feelings can be compared to what I feel when the plane is landing in Montego Bay and I see the mountains, the clear blue water and the sound of patois (patwa) when I get to the terminal and start to re-live the things that make Jamaica what it is. Tonic for the soul.
I left when I was a teen...I go back every chance I get..I am planning to move back..

Isn't Florida has a similar climate as the Caribbean? What's so stressful?

Love that Jay and yes she is👍👍
Agree with you 💯%.
Yet, I have lived overseas before and despite all the problems, Jamaica just feel so good...there is something about this place.
Yooo in looking to in Jamaica
That is why people need to travel so they can see that Jamaica is a great place to lived compare to a lot of other countries. Really love this video 🇯🇲🇯🇲

Irina this was a powerful post. I feel you on so many levels.

I'm so sorry for your loss Kate, but so glad you found love, comfort, support, grace and kindness even in strangers in Jamaica and that doesn't surprise me. Jamaica get's a very bad press even from its own people overseas, but the positives outweigh the negatives and Jamaican's on the whole are warm, friendly, kind and funny people and the majority want to live in peace and it's always the minority of bad people who spoil it for the majority. My parents are Jamaican and I live in London UK, but I'm going to get my citizenship soon because one has procrastinated far too long on that subject. I don't care what they say, I LOVE JAMAICA and it loves me back, it's good for me and my health, mentally too. May the good Lord bless you and keep you and bring you back again soon. Blessings!🙏🏾🇯🇲
@@KayKay-l2t Thank you so much Karen for your kind words. Yes, I agree with you- I have experienced far more positives and grace in JA than what is sometimes projected by the diaspora. I hope you do get your citizenship and buy a little pce of the rock for yourself to enjoy. Stay blessed 🙌

@@giniolamy Isn't it odd, that some Jamaican tend to say, Jamaica is the only place in the world that has this or that? I never quite understand that as its not true!
Irene I'm glad you posted this video. I'm jamaican born but live in Canada for 46 years. I'm 54 years old. Whenever I don't take a trip home I get really depressed and miserable. I have a house now in Jamaica and can't wait for covid to be over so I can spend time home doing my gardening. I even loose weight and my skin glows. The hair braiding from my prospective is a western society way of thinking. Jamaica/ west indies don't care. They often braid other people hair from other countries.
You are so right! As soon as you landed in Jamaica and coming off that plane you can feel the difference of being stress free. It’s only a pity those men who are causing Jamaica to have a bad reputation, to love their women and treat them with love and respect instead of killing them off like birds and causing others to be scared of coming home.
I will be honest with you. There are a lot of people here in JA who make one situation into a major problem. I wont lie corruption exists but you either have to find it or bump into it.
So don't follow most naysayers.
In regards to your top 5, you around the computer in Ukraine always smoking vs now is really a big difference. Its always refreshing to hear your family is actually enjoying living here. Things most Jamaicans see as problems are insignificant in your eyes and that gives me a new meaning to the saying. "Seeing the world through someone else's eyes"
Irina, your hair is beautiful, I love it.
Millions of women from all races would love to have your hair.
Embrace your hair, love your hair, give God Yahweh many thanks and praise for your beautiful hair.
Well done.🌹🥀🌷🌺🌸🏵️🌻🌼💐⛱️🏖️🌅🌄⭐🌟🌍🍋🍌🍍🍊🍑🍉🍎🍒🍓🥑🌽🍆🍶🍹🍸🍷🍻🥂🍾
Baby when she released that mane I almost fell off my chair!! 🤣🤣🤣 I had no idea she was hiding all that hair in a bun. It’s like she became a different woman & I’m here for it 😍
Sista irina so smooth well spoken and always have smile and the energy.keep it going Jamaica tourist ambassador.
Sun, sand, and smiles.
I love how proud we are as a people to be Jamaicans
My sister I love you your family for moving here to our island home making it your own. Thank you for these vlogs you do so us Jamaicans can see how beautiful our island paradise is
Irena
This video has given true meaning to the ad run by the Ja Tourist Board ..
"Come to Jamaica and you'll feel alright "
I think they should now do a new ad...."Come to Jamaica and you'll be able to kick the habit."
Glad you have not experienced the
corrupt government workers. Some of the policemen have ripped off motorists and small businesses.
The wharf workers are also corrupt, they are known to rip off poor people who have to clear their goods.
I wish everyone in Ja will see your videos and realize that things are not as bad as they think.
Our stories are similar in many ways. These are some reason we are planning to move there!
Just organize yourself in the right way, meaning prepare for ups and downs like everywhere else and then just go for it. You will love it👍👍
Welcome! to Jamaica 🇯🇲🇺🇸🇬🇧🌎🇻🇨💯💥
Jamaica welcomes you.
Greetings try to get your TRN and bank account Jamaican ID out the way, Montego Bay mandeville Ocho Rios Falmouth Portland Hanover and uptown Kingston is some really nice place to live.
@@heru3337 good point on the Trn and bank account
Jamaica is a very fun place to live, I’m happy Jamaica can change your life. I wise this video goes viral so that all Jamaicans can see that we are not as bad as they say we are
Thanks for sharing!! As a Jamaican living overseas for over 30 years, I’m definitely planning on returning home because there’s no place like Jamaica. Whenever I do visit which I do twice per year, I get that calming peaceful spirit. I miss being in Jamaica everyday, that’s all I talk about and my plans are place for returning. 🇯🇲
I've also been living overseas for over 30 yrs and feel the exact same as you do. Whenever I return home to JA for vacation, I get that peaceful, serene feeling just stepping off the plane. Everything about JA makes me feel happy on the inside... it's like you have a permanent smile on your face...:) I'm actually working on my plan to move back to JA permanently. Can't wait!
I know the feeling, I got to earn some real money to build my home on my piece a land this year.
Retired eleven years , Returned after 45yrs. Best decision ever
@@beverleymoore2307, really? Would love to hear more about your experience moving back.
@@Kalasun7, do it! I’ll visit!😀
I have to return at times to watch your videos. Very few on other platforms are making much sense. When I need a proper and educational watch I tune in to your channel by default. Super content, even when it is a story about yourself, you manage to place the way Jamaica has made a positive difference in your life, even while many Jamaicans are constantly criticizing the land of their birth.
I love the smell of the soil when rain drops
Me too. I thought that I was the only person that felt this way, it's a rich, earthy smell that makes me want to take deep breaths
@@arleneaufdermauer8208, I used to love it as a child growing up in Kingston
I feel the same as a Jamaican living in South St.Andrew and as a child traveling to family members in the country sides.
Pasta factory - am dying😅
But guess what I love big hair!! So be free with your hair😃it’s beautiful being out - 😄
Thanks Irie for this very insightful vlog...I just spoke to a member of the diaspora last evening and told him that Jamaica is it for me. I am extremely happy and comfortable here. I can get to a mountain, river , beach, city all in 30 minutes either way.
My first visit to Jamaica was in 1988. I remember getting off the bus and feeling a sense of peace come over me I had never felt . Love your videos and we love to highlight Jamaica on our channel as well . One Love ❤️
I am a Jamaica form ( Portland)
Most beautiful parish in JA.😃
I live in the United States..
I have been following your videos (blogs) for sometime now , and I must say I love them it’s also a part of the reason why am making preparations to return home after being gone for a long time .. all the best on all you do much love
Yes Portland is the most beautiful parish 😍
I think so too
Thank you for your post u made me see my country in a different light. What I love most about Jamaica 🇯🇲 is people we make light of everything and we know how to have fun
Irina, this is a great video, so much personal relevance for me.....I came to America in my 20’s, worked hard for many years but things have changed. In the winter season I am depressed with the cold, eat more, I am more sleepier and my blood pressure is higher. My desk job is so stressful, I have constant neck pain. After much thought, there is really nothing left for me in America anymore. I am working on a 15 month transition plan back to Jamaica; I hope I make it.
I wish you well moving back. Most of us are feeling the same way. Wish I could spend more time in Jamaica.
This may sound strange, coming from someone who left Jamaica at 16, and is now almost 55, but Jamaica's influence on me has a Youth growing up is STILL GUIDING me today. This is in terms of COMMUNUTY TOETHERNESS, and looking out for one another. I grew up in s very small Country (Rural) Village in St. Ann (near Ochi). And everyone was like Family and treated each other that way. Yes, you had your bickering here and there, but overall, it was a Tight Knit community. And even with changes in the Community since I was a kid, I still see that Community Togetherness whenever I go back home.
As I have grown, and lived in various types of Communities, traveled the World, and across rhe USA, I find that this sense of "Community" that I grew up with, Helped me to easily adapt, and become Friends with those I meet.
Irie gang... mystic island life😁🏕🏝
Hello Irina. Thanks for always sharing. You are my go to person for relocating to Jamaica.
Me too! 🙌
I am Jamaican and glad to know you are enjoying the beautiful country with your family and highlighting the good and bad of Jamaica 🇯🇲in a educational way, nuff.blessings
I love how you highlighted the issue with the cockpit country and compared to Ukraine. You help us to see from another perspective in such a simple way.
I really appreciate you vlogs.
Jamaican living in the UK.
There's a teacher who makes videos and lives in Jamaica. He has videos on the Cockpit Country and I think he gives regular updates on the status of the situation
I agree with you anytime i visit home i never use any lotion or facial moisturizer as soon as i return to the usa my skin dry out , i finally realized it's the water 🇯🇲
Same here my skin would be so dry when im in the US..when im home i dont need lotion
This is so true!!
After moving to Jamaica a year ago and eating organic foods I lost 25 pounds.
Where did you moved from?
@@Junjo11 Florida USA
@@mspoole thank you glad you lost weight.
Great episode, Irina! Reminded me how in December 2003 I flew to Jamaica because I felt so depressed in Ukraine! Some of the friends said I’m crazy and advised me not to go to Jamaica because it’s dangerous. I didn’t believe so and I said: “Even if it was dangerous over there I’d still go because I heard there’s lots of smiling people and sunshine” 😉
Wow.
Aliona your last sentence is very powerful and emotive, meaning it touched and held me in awe. You intend to go somewhere far, because there are smiles along with sunshine there, even if it's dangerous. Wow, Just wow. Tell that man to take you home now, you need Jamaica more than you know.
@@stevenbarrett4110 we’re thinking of moving to Jamaica, just need to find out more about education for kids. Our son is 4 years old. 😉
@@alionalopez6330 Trust me. One problem you will not have is quality education in Jamaica. The Prep Schools (private) are typically at the highest of standards. The good thing about Jamaica, when private or public schools, they all wear uniforms, and sit the same exams to matriculate to High School, and the same exams to University.
Ministry Of Tourism...here is your new Ambassador of Expats...or Ambassador of Relocation to Jamaica...job..to get foreigners to relocate to Jamaica...here name is Irene..from Irie Jamaica....say thank you.
Edit
I am never leaving Jamaica.
LOL we need to start a petition
I completely agree!!
LOL! I've already reached out to the Director at the Tourism Board. Hope they can make it happen.
On second thought, maybe not a good idea. Now Irena is authentic; if she has has a boss, she may be restricted in her opinions... just a thought
@@AfroJamaican So true!! I like her candid review of everything JA. She would/may be restricted.
Sweet beautiful lovely lady thank you for sharing your videos with us i am happy for you love take care be safe bless up
I absolutely love this video, the realness, the humor, Irina you had me laughing from the start of the video. Now my son is asking me when are we moving to Jamaica I think he’s been watching too much of your videos
Jamaicans are always finding ways to enjoying their selves regardless of their situations it could be hurricanes, earthquakes, covid what ever the situation is they will take it as a joke 😂.
So tru lol😂😂😂
True, my mom always say she is laughing at her problems because if she started to cry and complain there will be no end to it,😆
Exactly also when the water went, THAT WAS TOO FUNNY.
(Not the actual situation)
Thanks for being a wonderful ambassador for 🇯🇲
Irena I realize that this was done in Jan, however it was a beautiful video. I was born in the blue mountain hills of Portland and it was the Jamaican way of thinking that saved my life. Remember now, I came here as a child but that Jamaican teaching and attitude will never leaves you. I went blind in the SARS outbreak for ten years because SARS hit Canada in 2003, working on the frontlines as a critical care nurse. I lost everything to my name and went down to 51 pounds and covered in bedsores. Many people would have killed themself but the Jamaican in me made me fought back....it made me strong and I went back to university and got two masters degree with the help of a service dog named Nefertiti. I only survive because of the Jamaican drive that was instill in me as a young child. By the way your skin looks great and cigarette smoking is not something Jamaican women do. I am happy for you. love light and kindness from Canada
Thank you so much for sharing this! 🙏💕
Seeing this a day late. Thank you for highlighting the positives about OUR Country, (you are one of us). Jamaica’s motto “Out of many ONE people”. I didn’t value Jamaica so much until I started traveling, and I travel extensively because of my job. Glad that Jamaica has changed your life. One love from NYC.
You're gaining much traction on youtube because of your much-researched angles. Upload more videos more frequently.
Absolutely 💯 brilliant, informative on point, most Jamaican don't understand what they have.
Great Vlog as usual Irina!!!
You were beautiful before you moved to Jamaica but you are like a Shining Star 🌟 now that you are living in Jamaica 🇯🇲
Take care of yourself!!
Stay Safe!!
Looking forward to your next Vlog!! 😃👍🏽
Love your Hair! That's natural beauty! Embrace it for that is you... God's gift to you! So many good gems for others to see both locally in Jamaica and in cold weather countries. Jamaica is truly a Paradise and she should always be appreciated and protected. "The Land of Wood and Water."
Im jamaican born and bred I really love your perception of our country when compared to yours we do live in paradise I've always been appreciative of what we have despite the bad coverage we get all the time but now I'm gonna learn to embrace my homeland even more we are truly bless
Insightful, nice to see the things Jamaicans take for granted all the bad people go through in life there are other folks that goes through worst,Welcome to Jam Rock Irene.😘
I watch your videos when I am home sick. Makes me realise that where I am now is not my home. I look forward to going home for good soon. Thank you 👊🏾🇯🇲
I am from holland we have the same problems here as in ukrain (no corruption) but smoking ,depressions.
I can imagine that your life is so mutch better in jamaica.
Love to watch your videos so i can see the real jamaica ( not the tourist part)
I am planning to go to jamaica in 2022 for 3 weeks and travel over the island.
So thanks for the videos they show the real jamaica it’s very helpful
Keep up the good work
We'd love to have you and I hope you find peace. One love 🖤💚💛
Yes those "Coffee Houses" in the district is crazy. Spent some time there working on Arena Blvd, and staying at the Renaissance Hotel close to the district. Smoking depression is real. I never smoked, but i appreciate that people do not walk around smoking on the street. Even when its illegal in Jamaica, you go to some corners and the smoke from nostrils looks like chimneys :) ...AJAX fan
I love my country. I am thinking of returning home in the near future.
yeah just like london people don,t smile. goin back to jamaica in june i have a house in st elizabeth cannot wait . love the video.
Hello and good day again I'm going through your videos that I missed this is absolutely 100% correct. Now granted I am bald I do not have a frizzy hair problem. But my wife does the fact that she can do what you need to do with it very easily is a joyous occasion for everybody. Irina thank you for these videos what you explain here is fantastic. I will never be able to thank you enough. Honestly I never had the courage to respond to these videos because I felt like I wasn't qualified but I can tell you after visiting the country 12 times and buying a home there you are so spot on. I hope everybody pays attention to this!
Fantastic channel. We are devouring every video prior to our first visit upcoming for New Years. Thanks!
Thank you so much! 😊
Awesome thought provoking perspective.The grass always seems to be greener on the other side.We as a nation have many to be grateful for and yet have many more rooms for improvements.Thanks for sharing your perspective
Jamaica is paradise on earth I always say this I wish if all Jamaica could get the chance to travel and see the world and then they would appreciated what they have.
Irina! Thank you for Highlighting the positives and negatives of Jamaica 🇯🇲 Your views are well balance and facts about JamRock💯 All Jamaicans must cherish the Rock. Build Jamaica! Land we Love 🎇🎉🏡🇯🇲💯
Once again, top class work. Love Love your videos. Thank you for debunking the myths. Bless up.
I think this is so inspiring... we should all strive to find our place on this earth where we feel most happy, productive and fulfilled!
Thank you so much for the support! ❤️ and yes, I believe this is the way to go!
Once again your teaching have been so masterful and informative, each video continues to deepen my appreciation of beautiful Jamaica.
Looking forward to the next one. Thank you so much
My favourite video so far.
First to say is that i love the natural beauty of jamaica and that influence me to stay here and live here..... and I'm happy to hear that you got over your bad habits lol your funny lol welcome to our one love one heart family in the land of wood and water lol
I always click the like button before the video even starts, because I know it is going to be good. Nuff Luv!
I do the same. Irina is never boring.❤️
I love how Irina is always happy and positive! It's a dream of my that I will never achieve.. Respect tebe Irinocka! Sciastje I liubvi tebe I semje tvojej!
Спасибо! :))))
After spending time overseas from time to time, Jamaica is my favorite place to be whether it's summer or winter. Positive vibration year- round is very important to my wellness.
Thank you to choose Jamaica as one of the best country in the world thank you with the great motivation and the strength of you to choose Jamaica you will come home much respect to you 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💜💜💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏💜💜💙🇯🇲
Story time was good 👍
Thanks for making it Jamaica..one love
I am so impressed in how you talked so highly about my country. Thumps up to you . All the best in the best country 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
✨☀️🇯🇲☀️✨
✨Jamaica is a PURE PARADISE✨
I’ve been going to Jamaica since 1994 and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT💗
I know I will be relocating to Jamaica soon. I feel it in my bones!
I watch you videos often sometimes 2-3x, and watching this particular video my inner voice said, “Look how everything fell into place for Irina, everything came together for her, not how she planned but just how it needed to be.”
✨I gotta feeling that same thing will happen for me, I just have to take the leap of faith✨
Thank you for your inspiring videos, Irina 💋
Did you relocate yet ? 😁
My godness- I love your beautiful full hair and I am thrilled you are able to find the products in JA to keep your hair shiny and soft. As for the US, ignore the haters because the US has no place to judge anyone in other countries about acceptance of ones self. US put every one in categories and get treated as such so most of us just carry on and ignore the silly structures in place to make some feel better about themselves.
Seriously though, I was entertained watching the flashback vids in Ukraine post life - your craving for a cigarette had me in stitches. Yes smoking is not something you will see the people partake in for sure.
As for the corruption bit, I commend your experiences and sharing it with us putting the myth of brides etc at rest. Yes indeed, there may be times when you may have to bribe to get things moving along a little quicker but in most cases, business is conducted the legal way. Thanks again for another great vid showcasing your passion, high energy, positivity and creativity!
One Love!
Aw, thank you so much for this feedback! Such support is much appreciated!
In my circle, we would call you an evangelist of the Jamaican gospel and this would be your conversion and transformation testimony. So powerful! I am happy your life changed and I am happy you were open minded enough to seek that change even if it meant relocating to somewhere new.... you inspire me. I really appreciate you sharing these videos. Keep up the good work!!! Love and blessings ❤
What i love about my country are the people. I have been driving from i was 18. These are 20 year old cars that had bad tyres. Every week the tyres puncture. IRIE, I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE CHAGE A CAR TYRE. The men dont hesitate to stop and help. I have had men give me there spare tyre because they discover that mine was flat. Lol. Told me to go straight to a specific tyre shop and he will pick up his spare later. When i was pregnant, wow. My bags were carried to the car etc. Thsts what i love. The people.
Yay!! Thank you for sharing. I reached out to you on fb 😉
Thank you for the support and feedback! Not sure I can find your message there, lol! There are a lot of messages in FB, and I;m just finishing my email first 🤔 Any chance you can forward the message to jamaicawithirie@gmail.com? Thank you! And sorry for the inconvenience, I didn't realize there would be more messages coming than I can handle, lol.
@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE no problem! ✌
Jamaica is heaven on earth. It’s great to see you are experiencing it.
Omg...same hair, smoking history, disdain for dry winter air......I love your honesty and down to earth humanity. Even though I am a generation older and raised in a completely different environment I can not agree and relate to your words more. Thank you for sharing.
Aw, thank you! ❤️
It is difficult to explain to someone the joys and happiness you experience just by being in Jamaica because on paper most other developed countries have much more suitable amenities to facilitate growth and well-being. Such a lucky thing we tend not to live our lives on paper ($$$$$) Another well put together video. Thanks thanks thanks
Love this video Irina especially when you spoke about not smiling on public transport! 🤣 shoutout from Birmingham Uk 🇬🇧
UK does the same in buses
Thanks again for sharing content. It's great to see how Jamaica has had a positive impact on you life.
I can so related to this episode I moved to London UK when I was 11 years old now almost 37 years old. I tell my self I will move back home I love the simple organic lifestyle.
hey I live some what close to you and for me your content is so unique and amazing. seeing Jamaica for your eye is a fresh look at my beautiful home.. A lot of us Jamaican do not know how amazing Jamaica is on till they travel and realize how much freedom we have here.. Thank you.. keep up the amazing work
Dwayne, so true. I never truly appreciated Jamaica until I moved away, and started travelling back home. I am fortunate to have the opportunity to travel down every 2-3 years (sometimes more often). And one day I hope to travel back and forth multiple times per year, spending a month or more at a time when I'm down there. The "Dream Is Real" for me on this one...
So happy you still luv our likke island in spite of the negativity that is being portrayed all over the world. In spite of the crime n violence here, I wouldn't live anywhere else, luv my country too much. I would never ever want to experience racism which I fear deeply. I would love to visit other countries but never to live there. I was born here and feel so comfortable in spite of the negativities. Thanks for sharing Irena..one luv💙🇯🇲
I love the braids you had.
I get you...in winter my body does not seems to want to work...after having my twins and almost died giving birth and medical intervention saved me....my body feels like it's not my own...when in Jamaica I feel like myself but when in Canada it's a different feeling. My hair is more manageable in Jamaica 🇯🇲 as well. In Canada 🇨🇦my hair is always dry....I get you....keep smiling 😃and keep my little paradise alive
I haven’t been back home in 11 Years and watching this video is giving me anxiety!! 🤩 I hate this situation we are in . I am in the U.K🇬🇧
this makes me smile. yes its always better to go to the source. people will always says things. you did and it was successful
Irie you definitely look much healthier and happier in Jamaica.
Because Jamaica is God bless country love my home
And I quit smoking when I met my Jamaican now husband who never smoked in his life. I lived in Jamaica for about 6 months and I never tried ganja 🤷♀️
Another amazing video from Irina. You’re probably the only person on UA-cam that I don’t speed up because you always have such good research and information. I can see the transformation in your personality. Jamaicans are very resilient people. Another amazing video
