  Welcome to Kingston, Jamaica's crazy capital city. I have wanted to explore this famous island in the Caribbean for years and I am grateful to be able to share this insane experience with you. Thank you for joining me on this wild ride. The people of Jamaica are a lot of fun to be around and have distinct vibe and style that I love. Obviously what the Jamaica faces on a daily basis is hard to witness and all we can do is hope that more stability is possible. Let me know your thoughts below. One love, Nick ✌🏻🇯🇲

  I've always been struck by how bright and self-assured Jamaican people are, no matter the conditions.

  We can&apos;t deny Jamaica has some serious problems that need to be addressed, but it really is a beautiful country with so much vibrant culture and an incredible people of whom the overwhelming majority live peacefully. To any foreign persons watching this who are considering visiting Jamaica, please know you really have nothing to fear. <br>The type of violence and gang warfare highlighted in this video, as dreadful and tragic as it can be for Jamaicans, I can tell you this is not taking place in areas where a tourist should have any business being. Very rarely does this type of crime effect any foreigners visiting the island. Jamaica is mostly a safe, peaceful and happy place. The island relies heavily on tourism for it&apos;s economy, so please if you want to go to JA, go and you will love it! Peace and Love to all my JA people!!

  These videos always remind me to be grateful for not having to live in war and poverty. I feel for these people.

  I am a Jamaican living in Jamaica - and i have never been to tivoli or riverton- 2 small communities in Jamaica in the Parish of kingston and st andrew. The entire island is not crime invested - there are numerous thriving area in Jamaica. And the opportunity is there if you seek it with the motivation and drive - one love 🇯🇲

  This video should resonate with all those who spend thousands of dollars to vacation there for a week. When you&apos;re at your resort, be respectful of the employees and locals you don&apos;t know their daily life

  As long as you give a balanced view of our country, and not simply the negative...I will appreciate you! The majority of Jamaica is not violent, many people are thriving and doing okay. But, like many other nations in the world, things could be much better.🙏🏽🇯🇲🌺💛 Many YouTubers shine a light on the negatives just for Likes/Clicks. Hope you have a great time on your visit!
