Hey Sammi! I didn’t realize you were in Jamaica- I did a study abroad there my last year at Ithaca…experienced many things that you are right now :). Please let me know if you want to talk about anything going on over there with someone who’s experienced it as well, and if you EVER have a chance you need to get to Treasure Beach and experience the community tourism scene- it’s extremely heartening to see locals in charge of their own land. Sounds like you’re doing some amazing work there, keep it up!

Hi Laura! Thanks for your comment 🙂
I’ve been to Treasure Beach a few times but haven’t really seen the locals taking charge of their own land…mostly just the ex-pat community down there. Well, about 50/50 anyway.
But I’ll check it out again.
I mean, it’s in my parish.
Just south of here, so I must go again soon 🙂
Thanks again for dropping a line!
Cheers 🙂
