      This is great cataloguing of my island. Now I have work to do in visiting these places. Thanx Irina! Ive seen other vloggers (black) who visited eastern Europe where youre from and did tours that the natives there were not aware of. I guess the reality is that most of us take our locales for granted while others indulge in it.

      @@JAMAICAWITHIRIE lol...funny how that works. Years ago when i lived there and worked in Mobay i met a person from Montreal whose title was destination coordinator/supervisor. Their job was to provide landing info to Canadian and French speakers and guide them safely on to tours and events. You being from that background could usher in visitors from eastern Europe as you speak their language. They may like it a lot too boosting tourism and creating your own niche business. Plus as you said no one is presenting those historic sites to international tourists. You could carve out 10 such tours and have several of your JUTA or taxi friends make new income from otherwise unsold tours...thank me later..lol

      @Beverley Hohn Chang I've seen you post on other vlogs and youre usually pretty fired up there as well. My suggestion is since this lady has done a fabulous job of highlighting our coutry's unknown or under-discussed areas, why not start a vlog doing what you asked her. Your name speaks to that lineage and it would be great for us to know aboit indeed I am also loving Tami Chin and Wayne's (Meet The Mitchells)MTM and her dad scratched the sutface of the Chinese Jamaican life ,unknown to many othet Jamaicans including myself. I guess in a nutshell don't cuss a well meaning vlogger who clearly is putting in extraordinary work to highlight JA. Thank her and ASK if she could look into that. Neither you nor I pay vloggers so i am thankful for whatever content they are providing ESPECIALLY in Covid times. Also go easy on the CAPS...One Love to you as well!

    WOW!!!! I'm genuinely impressed with this production. I know this takes a lot of time to put together. The Jamaican government should employ you to do tourism marketing- or marketing for Jamaica in general. It is not as conventional as what you normally see on UA-cam. I hope your channel gets more subscribers. Try to use certain video titles, like the one you used for this video, to get viewers' attention. I am glad I get to see your videos before your subscription reaches thousands (don't worry. It will. It just takes hard work and dedication). I am a Jamaican who lives in New York City and this video convinces me to visit Jamaica.

Yes, the idea is to make people want to come and visit Jamaica by showing how amazing the place really is, because so many things go unnoticed and people don't even realize they exist. And yes, creating these videos takes time and effort, it's true, but still worth it! I realize it will take at least 2 years before it gets anywhere near popular, but ph well, one step at a time :) Glad to have you here with us from the start of our journey! 🇯🇲 ❤️

      @@JAMAICAWITHIRIE I'm here as well on your journey. I thought you had about a million subscribers already, when I discovered your channel. I'm sure you will get there fast though because many Jamaicans in the diaspora, who are afraid to go back home, visit Jamaica vicariously through vloggers videos from Jamaica. Once they discover you, you channel will become very successful. I am a Jamaican living in Florida and didn't know some of the things you showed in this video. You have educated me. Most Jamaican vloggers don't showcase the things about Jamaica in all of their videos combined, that you have showcased in this one video. I had to subscribe. Can't wait to move back home. The only other channels that come close to yours are Kareem's Quest and Jamieson Daley. Jamieson don't really go in-depth like you and Kareem though. His videos are more of the cinematic type, but still highlight Jamaica on a different perspective none the less. There is a place that is almost on my doorstep in my neighborhood in Jamaica that I never heard about until I saw it in one of Kareem's videos. This is in Boscobel, right down the road from where I come from, and I didn't know about it until now. Dirt Adventure: ua-cam.com/video/f9Uxro3-pAY/v-deo.html This is Jamieson's style: ua-cam.com/video/T7po-KfDu5g/v-deo.html

      One has to take the good with the bad. There are Trinis who love Jamaica and Jamaicans as much as the next person so the minority(in the case of the video you mentioned) is oftentimes not the truest representation of the whole. People are people, no matter their nationality so they will speak ill of what seems different from what they are used to or that which is foreign. This may be as a result of their biases, preconceived notions or whatever they have been fed by external sources. Trinis do it, Jamaicans do it, Americans do it...Humans do it. Doesn't make it right but🤷🏽‍♀️
      But... to address to your assumption, one could say I'm living my best life here-as I would anywhere else-because life is what you make it.

    Irina! I am going to Jamaica for 3 weeks in June and I am so grateful I found your channel! Your videos are the fulfilment of my dreams about perfect Jamaica travel guide. I mean places and attractions which will show me the real, authentic Jamaica and not only its touristic side. I am grateful for your work!
    Since I am a huge reggae fan I would love to experience a lot of musical/cultural side of Jamaica. One of my dreams would be to witness how the local artists record in a studio or play local shows. Could you recommend any studios for taking part in a recording and clubs for live shows in Kingston? I would be more than grateful for that!
    All the best to you from Poland!
