This one’s a favorite because it’s real-life tested in our everyday rhythm.

Think easy, kid-friendly, low-stress places where I can actually enjoy myself too. If it made this list, it passed the toddler test. No fluff, just our go-to favorites we genuinely love.
Being a native of the Midwest is more than just where I were born (let’s hear it for Chicago) or have lived for the last 33 years.
It is a unique way of living and strong sense of community that sets this part of the country apart from other regions.

I’ve lived on the East Coast (Jersey Shore/ Long Island) and Deep South (Birmingham AL)
but nothing felt like home and community like the Midwest.

Though I personally just call it home, the Caribbean island of Jamaica is one of the most popular tropical vacation spots on this side of the Atlantic. There is a valid reason why. Apart from being the land that bore the world the likes of Bob Marley and Usain Bolt, it is popularly featured on many a bucket list because of its powdery sand beaches and its vibrant culture that non-natives can easily immerse themselves in and resurface for the journey home with awesome memories for a lifetime. Montego Bay, Ocho Rios and Negril are the most popular locations for vacationing. These two micro cities and a tranquil town are located along the island’s western seaboard and can be experienced in a quick weekend getaway or a week-long vacation. If your starting point is Montego Bay (my home-base and ‘MoBay’ to locals), facing the sea, you can go right to Ocho Rios in 2 hours and go left to Negril in the same amount of time. There is a wide variety of things to do and see for every variation of interest in either direction. Here is a list of the most popular attractions and lesser known gems that you can put on your to-do list when you drop by to say hi!.
