Hello there! I came to Jamaica after having lived in Miami for many years.
There are a lot of pros and cons to living here, as you can imagine - same as everywhere else. And it will REALLY depend on how/why you move to Jamaica to determine whether the pros can outweigh the cons. Our situation here as expats has been very good. We live in a gated community by the ocean, which allows me to entertain my son in varied ways. We have A/C, washer & dryer and other amenities that are so common in the US and a luxury here. On the flip side, there are a lot of things I miss about living in the US, mostly certain conveniences we had there. However, living in Jamaica allowed me to appreciate living with less and enjoying life more fully. It's been a great experience for me and my family.
For more info on my life here, check out my blog alifeabroad.com. I started writing it a year ago and had to stop due to lack of time. But now I'm back and will be posting many more articles in the next few months.Â
Good luck and keep me posted.
