On this podcast we have meaningful conversations with guests who live in Jamaica one way or another. Podcast guests have the opportunity to tell their story on how they either moved to Jamaica fully or how they're able to spend extended periods of time here. Everyone on the podcast are in different phases of their Jamaica move story. Some have already retired here others are beginning to make their transition with frequent visits to the island. My hope is that listeners gain value in seeing how they too might be able to make the transition to Jamaica one day.
