    Welcome to JAMAICA - one of my favorite countries in the Caribbean. This island is full of life, culture, beaches, and reggae music, and it makes for an excellent vacation destination... However, there's a darker side of Jamaica that exists among the local population. In recent years, the nation has emerged as one of the most dangerous in the Caribbean with gang violence and political turmoil in the slums areas. In this story, I went deep into a dangerous slum called Flankers in Jamaica's second-largest city (Montego Bay) to document street life and see what kind of people live there.
    I'd love to hear your thoughts on this story - does it change the way you see Jamaica? Let me know in the comments down below!

    PS I really love Jamaica! This is my 2nd trip here and when it comes to culture and vibes - there is no better place in the Caribbean. I made this video because I was curious about the real street life, far away from the tourist traps, and I’m really glad I did. Because the people everywhere in this country are amazing!!! 🇯🇲🙏🏼🔥

      This may come as a surprise to many but I would have to rank the Russian people as some of the most hospitable. Many of the Jamaican people (and people of other countries) treated you well as long as you were spending money.
      I can only assume that most Jamaicans are in contact with tourists more often than most Russians, Bulgarians, Togolese, etc.

I love how he connects with the locals and shows a genuine interest in their lives, even if it's just for a short time. Drew's passion for his content shines through in his videos, and I'm still in awe that he went solo without his friends - that takes a lot of guts! He's definitely become one of my favorite RUclipsrs, showcasing versatility and a genuine passion for his work.

Over 4 kids were killed at the start of the year by gun violence in Jamaica , while they were on their way to school in a taxi that got shot up... i guess all these victims are criminals!

    I'm a born American who lived in Jamaica 20 years. I met my wife in Westmoreland and our 14 year old daughter and 9 year old son were born at Cornwall. At some point i was in Flanker every evening buying ganja and juice. If i did not show uo the Flanker people would call to check on me. Solid people there for sure. My family migrated to my home in America last year. I'm now worried about America and the violence there. For the most part Jamaica is a place where problems won't reach you if you are not living a street lifestyle. I actually knew my neighbors in Montego Bay and Kingston. We all looked out for each other always. Jamaica changed me for the better and i supposedly came from the best. I love the country and the people to death !

    Jamaica is more than resorts or abject poverty. It’s unfortunate that Jamaica is always dichotomized in this way. There are many ways of life in Jamaica than just those two states. Also, Jamaicans have access to beaches, but it is true that preferred beaches may fall on privately owned resort property or have an entrance fee for the general public.

    As a citizen of Jamaica 🇯🇲. Our country is very beautiful. It's true that there is crime and violence here and at times in some communities more than others. Everywhere in the world there is crime....it's just that it happens behind gated community with wall fence. Crime is crime behind zink or wall fence. Death is death. I have friends in flankers they are beautiful people inside out. The government in our country Can do better but the truth is they care more about themselves.
    Its us as a individuals that should Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery as None but ourselves can free our mind.
    The youth can be educated and learn skill in Jamaica however most of them dont because of wrong thinking and they lack motivation. Some of the youth does have good mom and dad but they dont listen. "Jamaica is a nice place fi live ".
    Next visit to our country come to a regular home and see how they sit at the table and eat and even say their grace just like some of you do.

    I felt this vibe the whole time on the island and every local I met solidified the vibes. They say Canadians are some of the nicest people on the planet, but as a Canadian, I think Jamaicans have us beat.

    I know that you already did one, but it was only about one little festival in the middle of nowhere, and I doubt that many people who don´t live in Slovakia, would be interested to see it. We have so much to offer, from lovely castles, through picturesque nature, mountains, well preserved towns with elegant, historical architecture, some of the most beautiful women, great food, beverages, and much more.
    There is so much to see, discover, and explore him, but majority of travelers and travel agencies ignore us, just because our country is tiny in size. I´ve seen a number of your videos, and I know that you know that even in the smallest countries, you can find the greatest of hidden gems, and Slovakia isn´t different in this field.
    I don´t want to force you into doing something you don´t desire to do, but I am just tired of people almost always turning a blind eye to my country, for being tiny in size, population, stereotypes, or not having a metropolois with at least 1 million inhabitants...

Usually business go smoothly, because of mutual respect. please don’t do that, Jamaican do not fear people and we don’t compare I don’t get why people like to compare to us, Haiti is no joke but don’t compare.

      Exactly these youtubers only care about clicks and views, and spreading a negative narrative about the country.
      They always highlight the ghetto and slums. Never the normal parts of the country where there is middle class and upper class neighborhoods.
