Lovely description of my country, nice interview, misti is such a beautiful soul, 🇯🇲🇯🇲
Such a great way to expand your Jamaican videos; I can't wait for the new expat series. Keep up the great work!
I was born & raised in Jamaica & have resided in the US for 53 years & it was a pleasure listening to Mitsi talk about living in Jamaica! I learned that there is a Kentucky & little London in Jamaica!
Me too dear. Born Jamaican living in USA, but did not know there was a Kentucky in Jamaica.
I’m member of Capital of Casual Negril, Jamaica and Misti really introduced me to Negril with her daily post, and I fell in love with a place that I’ve never been to❤🇯🇲 Did I mentioned I’m a Jamaican 😊 I will be in Negril in December😊
I love my Jamaica , thank you for loving my Little Rock …. Much blessings ❤❤

Man you have blown me away with all of these interviews. Love Misti’s interview I was born in JA but grew up in the U. K. now reside in the U. S. A
Wow! I loved this! Especially learning something new today..never knew there was a Kentucky in JA...I'll have to watch again..so I can record the cabin names for the future..so many more things I loved that we are still saying the simple good mornings...Blessings Xavier and Beautiful Misti!
Lovely interview!
Great interview. Thank you, Misti for the useful tips.
Love this reverse series idea! Can't wait for more!
So glad you are enjoying our beautiful island 🏝
I’m looking forward to enjoying this new series. This is quite exciting!
Learnt so much from the last series. Anticipating this new one. Keep up the great job.
Delightful interview, and delightful person. I am looking forward to upcoming interviews. I think you kind of covered it in this interview, but the question could be expanded to ask advice for anyone interested in moving to Jamaica, and not just vacation. I've known persons who went to JA on vacation and have real desire to live there, but don't know the steps. Anyway, keep up the good work Bro.
Xavier I’m so thrilled that you have started this new series. I’ve watched a lot and still watching some of the others and this new one is welcoming. Lady Misti thank you for sharing our beautiful Jamaica with us. May you find more love, joy, peace and happiness on our beautiful island.
@@Misti1 haha 😆, I hope it gets overly better so that you can withstand all that comes with it. I’m living in Florida and gets homesick by the hour. Waan luv mi sista!
This was sooo informative!! Thank you, Misti for your sharing your experience!!! 💗💚
Beautiful interview!!! Beautiful Miss Misti ❤❤❤❤❤. Thank you for loving my country 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Oops you did it again, another stellar interview of which I got a lot of information on where to go for some good clean fun. Thanks again Xavier.

Enjoy as usual. Inspiring intreview, amids the prioblems we are facing. She is in the best position to do so.Keep up the good work Xavier. I look forward to your interviews every week.Thanks.
I took my daughter to Jamaica 27 time in 5 years-I feel in love with Jamaica and the people when I was very young from friends of mine that went there often-really never thought I would ever make it but I moved closer to my grown daughter to help her because she had health problems-I told her I would but she would have to go to Jamaica with me-she said but mama I am so much pain- I said you can be in pain here or in Jamaica the country of paradise and wonderful people-she said ok and she fell in love with Jamaica too -she cried the first time I took her when we was getting ready to leave-I looked at her and asked her what was wrong-( she said she did not want to leave-I said book us another trip and gave her my card to do it and she did it)
This was a great interview. She made such good points!
Thankyou for this video, it gave me hope I can fulfill my dream ,I miss Jamaica and the vibe there .
This is new😁 I love it
I LOVE Jamaica!!!
I plan to retire this year at 57 and the FIRST thing I will do is spend a full month in Jamaica for the first time. I have been going to Jamaica since the early 2000's.
I have been all over the island from Negril to Ochi to Galina. I know Oracabessa over to Vineyard Town in Kingston and Port Royal.
Love Love Love Mi Jamaica!
Soon Come Jamaica
Good afternoon Xavier, I am enjoying your new series of your videos 👍🏾
Brilliant advice, don't waste time move home as soon as you are able. You will adapt your finance situation.
Very good program.
11:32😢 Yes, I miss that . I miss a good yellow heart breadfruit too.
i AM SOLD I can't wait to relocate. Thanks you Ms Memphis.
I love this interview. Wow
Appreciate har I also wish more black Americans would go to Jamaica to look or to stay…mental exercise
Happy for her experience. Wish more Jamaicans abroad felt that way. Returning residents are preyed on and live in constant fear. With the level of corruption, criminality and thievery it's hard for people to return home. God bless. Hoping one day to have her experience.
Fifteen years with challenges but would not want to live in a place that I am not known anymore. She is right about having better health and living a simple more sustainable life. I don't let fear lead the way. Learning to be satisfied is the crucial thing. We want too much in America and work too hard without being able to enjoy it. So glad she is happy and wish her all the best in life. Thanks for doing these types of videos.
12:33 😁😁 That's so ingrained in me, that I do it even when I call customer service here. However , they always give the impression as if I'm wasting their time with my little ' good morning ' . That was a culture difference I had to get used . Well, not used to per se, I just don't let it brother me anymore.
Love this hi Misti
I luv this interview. Make me want to come home.
Love this for my Island home
I remembered that movie, how stella got her grove! At the time I heard that plane loads of women were going to Jamaica to have that experience!
relocation in these times are must
Very interesting 👌and inspiring 👏informative 👍
19:14 No , America is truly an individualistic culture , so that community feel is not a common. In Jamaica, one doesn't need an appointment to show up at your door.
13:53 you're lucky you have been asked , " ah me and yuh sleep last night?" 😁😁😁
Yes ma'am, that Memphis TN is listed as #2 of the top 10 dangerous cities in the USA, right behind Detroit MI.
That's my dream as an 🇺🇸🇺🇸 living the Caribbean
I believe everything she said,
Lol, that’s the breadfruit falling from the trees 😂😂😂
My dream is to move to Jamaica. I am going to make it come true
Healthy is so true. Less pain in the body.
Please do @ JAMAICA WITH IRIE next ?
For such a small place as Jamaica the crime is way too much and the government seems so complacent about. They need to control the crime.
If you watch PBCJ news, JIS news on UA-cam there are a lot of information and you will see that the government is interesting in curving the crime and moving the country forward.
I'll have to ask President Biden to curb the daily mass killings in America where babies, young, old, and in-between are killed in kindergarten, junior school, high school, colleges, movie theaters, churches, clubs, supermarkets, medical facilities, hospitals, amongst others.
The crime in JA s too hiigh and those folks are always going on and on about slavery and colonialism blaming others instead of addressing the problems in their society. It's not just JA it's a black thing and anywhere with blacks it's always the same problems
So true Misty. Many people's manners is terrible in the USA
Great video. How much does it cost for a nice one bedroom apartment in Negril?
Memphis ain't no joke ..That's the Chicago of the south
So my time growing up in trelawny parish is heaven i would av to write a book but an adult jamaican in trelawny parish to be happy i got myself a 10 speed bicycle and on sundays i ride to to beach by myself and av a swim and go back home and no one knows i went to de beach and ride on my bike late at nights to av fun and dogs would chase me down but they can not catch me was fun and no police do not pick on u because u av no lights on ur bike as long as u av reflecters u fine u free dats my ting freedom in ur own bornland jamaica and no one does not mess wid u wid dat said one luv jamwanzs
I like Miss Memphis 😊
I did that to my boss coming in the office to ask me questions without saying good morning
I just say good morning Janie she say oh good morning Elaine
I like this lady
I would love to talk to Ms. Memphis because I'm thinking about moving to Jamaica. I need some information.
I thought i was watching winford....lol...didnt know there was a Kentucky in jamaica
Good word good she know her thing
12:43 😀😀 Shooot, I even do it text ! Lol
American in New Zealand here
We need more African Americans to invest in our country and provide employment for our people.Thank u African American
Ok
Oh please,we need anybody..Y'all in the diaspora sounding more amd more ridiculous
We need to invest in ourselves. Less killings, less vulgarity, less children born out of wedlock. Better education, better care for the environment.
Oh this is a new one

Lovers Leep in the house
Hail up Ms. Misti ; how do you reflect on racism in the USA as compared to living in Ja.?
Please interview fellow UA-camrs- Ukrainianfrom Jamaica With Irie and Aneesha Adams, a Jamaican from Canada.
This lady made me misty eyed and home sick 😫
If they wasn't so much thief and killing.u would find so much investors.i know off a lot wanted to come .plus just return Jamaican alone can make a big change.one return.u know how much ppl can benefit from one.as in.helper.driver . gardener.plus the all the money they are going to put in the bank .so Jamaican government is a big fool.
I didn't hear any mention of crime in the video
Some of us Jamaicans, kill Jamaica with their mouth . Our little island have problems like anywhere else. I love my Jamaica 🇯🇲
African American Jamaica is yours too, come home to your land.
Africa is the homeland
Really?
@@winstonbrown5220 yes
@@surfboarding5058 No! Jamaicans!
Jamaica is a place that captures your soul. You have to go to know !!
Yankee go home
If Americans, Canadians, and all the other nationals should say that to Jamaicans in their country, you and the rest of Jamaicans at home wouldn't be happy.
Hi, please know that Jamaicans are welcoming to people all over the world. This degenerate is nothing Jamaicans are like. Misti spoke to the real Jamaicans heart in this video alone.
