The Non-Fictional Tale of My Adventures

In 2014, I turned down several opportunities to leave Jamaica, travel, and see the world. After saying no to what might have been an amazing experience in Australia, Germany, and then London … I promised myself that for 2015, my New Year’s Resolution was to take risks.

Adventures and Misadventures

This decision catapulted me into the adventure of a lifetime.

In June 2015, I quit my corporate job in payroll and packed my life into three suitcases and a laptop bag to enjoy nomad life in Jamaica. I then traveled to the U.S., and ― after a grueling, years-long process ― became a naturalized citizen.

In 2020, I bought an FJ Cruiser and a travel trailer. I then traveled across Mexico and the American Desert Southwest with my cat in the middle of a global pandemic.

My Debut Novel

Like everyone else, my triumphs have been sprinkled with my fair share of failure and frustration. Even so, each step has taken me closer and closer to my goals. With the help of my family, I turned my hobby into a thriving business and I’ve been our “preferred contractor” for virtually all our clients since 2016. These days, most of my work is on Google’s LLMs.

I also published my debut novel on Halloween in 2018 and have been working on revisions for a second.

The Adventure Continues

This blog documents my adventures and all the lessons I’ve learned as a Jamaican in America. I’ve also shared my adventures in Mexico and look forward to discussing life in Spain. Stick around for the tales of trials and triumphs.

You won’t be disappointed.

  8. Hi Alexis! Your adventures are inspiring. I’m so glad you are living your dreams! 🙌✌😀 I am working on being able to live my dreams too! The journey of course isn’t easy to totally leave the rat-race and live in the love, luster and shine of my dreams – but, ‘if it were easy, everyone would do it’. So, the process is in progress. Your blog is great! ✌

      1. You’re welcome 🙂 My dream is building my own company/brand, encompassing​ all of my passions: Latin dancing/performing/teaching; canvas paintings/pencil art; Holistic Health + fitness/wellness and my story suffering with eczema and helping Eczema sufferers worldwide with my their Eczema; and eventually publishing books and doing speaking engagements. I can do it. It will take years, but I’d rather spend my work time at my own company.

      2. That makes a lot of sense. That’s why I launched my PR firm!

        If you ever need help, let us know. We have two lifestyle coaches on-board, so you could say we have practice!

        All the best. I hope you stick around 🙂
