So Proud To Be A Steemer
Hi Steemers! I am from the beautiful Island of Jamaica but is now living in London after coming here as a teenager. I have just recently joined the awesome community of Steemit and is so far having fun, although I have only been posting comments however I am enjoying the feedback and the communication I am having with my fellow Steemers.
I enjoyed being on the outside and the open world, hence I discovered cycling, riding through the park, canal ways and the streets of London. I enjoyed cycling as a hubby and a keep fit regime. In my free time too I enjoyed being on the internet, it has given us so much possibilities, open up so much world, so much knowledge, it's impossible to stay away. So now thankfully I have discovered Steemit, I am looking forward to the opportunity of sharing and joining with the beautiful community of Steemers, sharing and enjoying the beauty that each and every one of us have to offer, the beauty that is formed when we all come together as one.
Since traveling is also one of my favourite hubbies I would like to give you a taste of my Island of Jamaica by sharing with you some the many pictures I took while holidaying there. Steemit is such an awesome community, I know one day it's going to be big there. Thank you for reading.

Jamaica is a lovely place! Are you considering moving back there? I'm from Toronto, where they say there are more Jamaicans than in Jamaica! Welcome to Steemit!
Canada has always been a welcoming place for Jamaicans. I am hoping to vandigital, most Jamaicans abroad would love to return home but the job situation in Jamaica can be challenging, hence why most of us are away, but saying that a lot of us do manage to return home and are very happy
That's what I've seen happen with my friends parents who moved back to JA to retire. Another friend of mine has a mango farm down there that enables her to visit at least once a year. But on the flip side I've had a few friends who got deported :(
Yeah, it's very popular for the senior folks who are retired and are able to live on their savings, pensions, or on the sale of their home. Unfortunately deportee is a downside and part of life for those who are impatient and are not willing to go through the long waiting list for visas to the U.S, Canada or Europe. It's sad vandigital, but I guess this situation is world wide when it comes to countries that are having economical challenges.
