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.

Good to be on your blog. We’re on the same profession #webDesign
I’m more about content than web design, but close enough! Thanks for dropping by. 🙂
Wowie! You are so brave! Congrats on stepping out in the unknown and being successful to boot. Was totally impressed … maybe because you’ve been able to do something I’ve always wanted to do but am still very much afraid of doing. Good going and keep the courage; you awesomely rock 🙂
I read a lot of blogs for years about people taking this chance and making it work for them, before I tried it myself. Don’t give up on that dream. You’ll get there! Thanks again!
Hi Alex! Thank you for liking my post on female sanitary products :-). I had a look at your blog and really like the social commentary section. Peace.
No problem, and thank you!
I love your story.. I am a mom of four and a first time blogger. I have so much stuff to talk about… how do i know if people are readying my blog?
Hi! Thank you! I took a risk and it worked out for me somehow.
You know people are reading your blog by checking the stats section of your wordpress if that’s the platform you’re using. It shows you how many visitors, how many views, and where they’re from.
Promoting your blog on social media is also a great way to boost views.
Impressive motivation for blogging and readership growth. Continue to keep up the good work of empowering and enlightening others.
Thank you! I’m doing my best. 🙂
Great to hear your story.
Thank you.
Lovely that you have decided to take risks. If you ever get to Western Australia make sure you go looking for gold in our huge deserts. People die trying to find it every year. It’s a survival challenge you must do.
Regards Paul ( Cool Cat Ralfe ) And keep it up, your MOJO will grow too
Yes, it worked out in the long run. I actually do want to go to Australia but I’ll skip on the desert. Too many dangerous snakes and not enough water!
That sounds like my local bar !!!
Haha. I don’t doubt it.
