Jamaica Tour Operator
Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom
Aim: I aim to provide safe, reliable, affordable executive travel services within the island of Jamaica, showcasing some of the hidden gems here.
I am a Brit with close family ties in Jamaica. I formerly worked in Health and Social care in the UK - specifically Mental Health, and in 2019 I took the decision to relocate here permanently, as I had struggled with my own mental health from time to time.
I am totally in love with this island and want to do my part in breaking the negative associations where crime and violence is concerned, by showing off the beauty of the island in a safe, reliable way. I have a vast knowledge of the island's history, roads and attractions. I enjoy driving around the island as the lush greenery and beautiful scenery soothes and helps me maintain positive mental health which had taken a serious blow after a failed marriage and later, the loss of one of my sons who at the tender age of 22, took his own life - having struggled with his own mental health.
My aim is also to create a 'wow' experience through providing tours with affordable, economical costs with standard and bespoke packages. I have had numerous friends and family members visit, and have been honoured when they have requested my services to drive them around the island with a hired car. I have taken them to popular tourist attractions like Dunn's River Park & Falls, Frenchman's Cove, Boston Jerk Centre, and more culturally focussed activities such The Bob Marley tour in St Ann where he grew up, as well as The Charlestown Maroon Village in Portland. I received really positive feedback about feeling safe while being driven, my knowledge of the routes and the variety of activities available.
As such, my vision was birthed in 2022. Job opportunities are limited here and it is virtually impossible to be able to save enough to procure a suitable, reliable vehicle in order to realise my dream, hence reaching out via this platform.
As a mental health advocate and as a way of giving into the field that I am so passionate about, I pledge to donate a minimum of 10% of any net profits monthly, to local charities involving health & social care - specifically mens mental health, womens' shelter/refuge and children with autism and other special needs.
You are giving to a noble cause and the benefits of your donations will be enjoyed by many. I appeal to your heart and ask for your help. Thank you.
