I get highly emotional when people say all Caribbean islands are the same. They are really not! Go to Dominica for the nature Go to Antigua for the beaches Go to Jamaica for the food & music Go to Trinidad for the carnival Go to Cuba for the 1950’s vibe .......

I want Jamaicans to know that if you travel to visa-free countries first you’re “more likely” to “finally” get that US visa. Your passport is almost like your “resume” or track record as I like to call it.
