When I go to Jamaica I always feel like the weight of the world has been lifted from my shoulders as soon as I step off the plane. The colors of the sea and sky and vegetation along with the sunshine just really boost my spirit, maybe that's because I live in a place that's gloomy much of the year, I dunno.

When I'm in Jamaica I tune out the rest of my life in the states. I'm totally in the moment, just enjoying the scenery, the people, the music, the sun and water etc. etc. I'm a pretty driven person at home, being in Jamaica lets me relax and feel playful in a way I'm not often able to be in the States. That's why I keep going back. I've visited several Caribbean islands, but for me, Jamaica is my home away from home.
