Why Jamaica
For an island we are blessed to have myriad landscapes and environments to be able to pick just the right location. Nature has blessed us with rain forest, mountains, grassy plains, rivers & waterfalls and of course the beaches. There is the capital city of Kingston with the requisite hustle and bustle and there are sleepy seaside towns. There are high rise buildings, Georgian architecture and wattle and daub cottages.
All this with balmy temperatures year round.
