Where are you from? Do you know the area? Have you travelled there before? What area of Kingston will you be working in and living in? Kingston is a pretty big area and like everywhere else there are places that are better than others... Common sense needs to come into okay always and street smarts too. Do you have a network of friends there? Or are you coming in blind to everything? Just a few thoughts for you. When I travel to Kingston, I don't feel unsafe but I am familiar with the area and have contacts in there, plus I have learned where to ho and where to avoid...it's really a learning process.

There are Indians enough, it won't take you long to link up with them. Just be safe, trust your instincts and you should be ok!

It is safe to work in kingston. Just make sure you live in a good area and dont wear jewelry or act like "dumb rich blonde tourist girl. Stay in groups. Now after you know the area. You should be ok. Always use local jamaican dollars. these are nice place to live I would chose Cherry Garden. Check this out for place to go in your down time safely http://wikitravel.org/en/Kingston_(Jamaica)
