Moving to Jamaica

3 years ago

Hello all. I am a single mom and tired of the United States. I love the Caribbean, particularly Jamaica. I have stayed in Puerto Rico for a while but the language barrier was too much for me. Basically, which city would you recommend for safety because I have a child? I must be near the beach. I know Kingston is where everything is at but the beach is one of the main reasons I want to live in the Caribbean. I do like to have fun. And would like my child to have fun as well. So are there any entertainment spots in suggested cities. I would also
like affordable housing that’s hopefully gated with security. As far as work, I’m an artist and have my own business so I would be interested in being near art galleries. Also, I would be remote since I would operate my business from home. I also would want to have access to a lot of nature as well and fresh fruits and vegetables. I love to cook, so markets would have to be readily available. Oh, and movie theaters are a must too. Thanks so much!
