Uptown is usually safe! Most people drive in that area, it’s the cars you really have to be careful of. Night market slanging, it had all my favorite fruits😊
No need to put yourself at risk to prove the place is safe. We appreciate you promoting Jamaica but some of your actions are a bit reckless. Keep safe.
@@dee2973 Firstly, we’re not friends. Secondly, you and her both are indeed *fear mongering* . She was on one of the safest streets in Kingston that night.😪
@@dee2973 I appreciate everyone’s concern but I wouldn’t say that this video is me trying to “promote” women to walk alone at night in Kingston. If you watched the whole video you’d know that I ideally wanted to walk to the night market when it was lighter but misjudged the time. I’m not promoting for women to walk alone at Kingston at night but just merely sharing my experience as a solo female backpacker in Jamaica. I clearly said in my video that I wasn’t trying to test my luck… but I appreciate everyone’s concern and will definitely take my precautions in the future but will still continue to do me. Big up yourself
Love, please continue to show no fear but be calculated! You solo, NEVER walk alone at night, thats when the madness happens the most, less light to see anything! Youre grown you will do as you please, but youre gorgeous, got body, light skinned, long flowing hair, that accent, the guys will try you and im sure youve experienced a LOT of proposals!! We love taking this journey with you, appreciate you for that, and i got nothing but love and respect for you, take care and get something to protect yourself JUST in case, because youre fearless and bold, that could be perceived as a challenge! Trust no one but watch everyone 💯🤎
Jess it’s safe but if you try testing the water to see if something is bad in it u will find it.just be safe at night because it’s at night most bad people will come out same like everywhere in the world.be safe you just got a brand new subscriber I love your content love how u be living Jamaica the right way. From Kingston Jamaica it self 🇯🇲🔥
We don't want any foreigner to get hurt in our country, but I must say I love how she do her thing and her honesty even the way she says things. I would love the know her roots.
Please remember that In every country even the best of the best people do get rob, rape or killed, my country is no difference, my country is no different, and I'm not going to be bias because Jamaica is my country and boost you in what you are doing or the company you choose to roll with in Jamaica, you're taking some risk here lady, enjoy Jamaica in the best ways, not the worst ways, you don't know which day or night you might not be lucky. I don't even walk at night in my peaceful community, let alone Kingston.
Hey Sis, missing you like crazy but as your name says 'bless up' that I get to share your journey. I would like to say a few things. 1. Glad you are have amazing memories growing up with fishing, camping and dirt bikes and I was lucky enough to provide that for you 🥰 2. Without a doubt Mum's dumplings are better than Dad's 🤤 3. Love love love the markets, however I was disappointed to not know if you got something sweet...did you? Showing us your different food adventures is great sis 😁 4. I am so impressed in the short time that you have been sharing your travels of your developed maturity. To be honest at the start you were ignorantly fearless (not in a bad way but a worrying way). You have now had experiences (we both know certainly not ideal 😢) that shows a greater awareness and appreciation of your own safety. You sharing that transition for all of us to see is truly authentic and transparent, there is no fakeness but the raw version that is my beautiful strong amazing woman of a sister. Giving others solo back packers the real deal and enlightening future travellers of the importance of linking up with well known reliable contacts. 6. I love you so much and continue sharing your natural beauty inside and out xo
What a lovely message from you. She's so lucky to have a loving and caring sister, and family. I understand about the worrying about her..I have been too a bit in these last few vlogs. Other viewers have had their concerns too. She's young and carefree,and still a bit reckless. At that age most of us were carefree,a bit reckless and also a bit naive to the ways of the world. I just hope she starts heeding the advice and stays safe. 🙏 ❤

My girl, uptown people don't really walk, night or day.😂 Most of them have access to a ride so you rarely see people walking up town. If you go into the wealthier neighborhoods the only people you will see walking are the hired help! Anybody you see walking in the really wealthy neighborhoods is doing it for the exercise and that is usually at daybreak!
Night market looks nice. Great night vibe. I agree Jess, I love dumplings too!! Delicious. I smile everytime you say "Thank Ya" instead of Thank You..l dont know why? Love earrings and bracelet..pretty. I wish we could have gotten to see the Asian guys playing their music. ❤❤❤
Blessings Jess. Glad to see you hanging around the spots I frequent (Kaya, Veggie Campus, Night Market) looks like you’re having fun. I must say though there is so much fear-mongering happening in the comments I walk these same streets at 12-1am my whole life and nothing has happened to me. I appreciate the abundance of concern for you from the people Jess and yes you should be careful wherever you are, Just be careful not to make the fear shape you’re reality. Love and Light Lioness.
@dee2973 you are certainly safer in Jamaica than Chicago. Its only people who have problems with each other in some way. Random people don't get killed in Jamaica like America. A famous takeaway had to close In pensylvania because of criminal activities theses things don't happen in Jamaica And that was a modern facility next to a airport Random people don't get killed in Jamaica like America
@@dee2973 lmao because you have evil family in Jamaica doesn't mean all a Jamaican do 😂😂😂many Jamaican go home and see family and live good and then happy for them simple yohr very shallow
This is the first video that you look so scared in. I am also a kingstonian and you don't really have to dwell in so much fear just be aware of your surrounding and walk with confidence
Yes, you are right I knew the look on my sister's face before she articulated the worry. Absolutely hated seeing that but so admired that she chose to share that with us and even though we weren't there I think just knowing she was talking to her subscribers (not live) got her through 🥰
jess what's up I'm hear tuning to your channel from montego Bay Jamaica 🇯🇲 I'm so happy to know that you feel much better...your channel is so interesting to we the viewers out here
Nice post and good presentation. Much better than your last one. Be safe wherever you go as unscrupulous people are everywhere in every country. Just be smart and wise about what you are doing. We appreciate your efforts to highlight our country and what it has to offer for back packers but we want you to do so without jeopardizing yourself. With regards to curse words in some of your videos, every culture has its good and bad words. While some might think it's cool to use curse words, it can seem offensive to others. You are trying to appeal to a wider audience so keep in mind that some might not mind, while others might not like hearing the curse words as they might have their kids watching it too. Keep up the good standard, Jess. 👍🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Yes, I noticed that. She is trying to dispell some of the negative press Jamaica gets about crime and safety so the most we can do is try and push her in the right direction so that she won't get herself in any unnecessary issues. She has a point that a lot of the negative press that Jamaica get is not true but at the same time, we are just trying to guide her as every country has crime including the US, England, and Australia.
You put yourself at risk walking downtown at night! Yes, you can be held at gun point, and your phone and money taken. Jess you better listen, don't make a Fool of yourself!!!❤
Jess should also understand that the warnings on this vlog are coming from Jamaicans who would not be walking downtown at night for any reason, especially not to find out how safe it is.
When I heard you telling the restaurant lady about the name thing i was like i told you about that 😊 it's good, feeling apart of the bless up Jess family I love seeing you happy and hearing you laugh as always blessings and be safe
In any country, you have to take precautions when traveling. Even in America, some cities are unsafe. For example, tourists get robbed in Atlanta at night, and not all neighborhoods in Jamaica are unsafe. You don't have to prove it by taking risks
You are very safe walking to the night market, don't worry about it. I work across the street from the market, on Gilchrist... don't let people scare you.
Hey Jess, I’m an avid viewer of your channel and I’ve enjoyed watching your growth thus far. I just don’t get the point of this vlog or the risky vlogs…What are you hoping to achieve? Not every ‘backpacker’ will have the same experience as you. Just vlog safe and don’t let the growth make you take unnecessary risk for views. Bless up.
You literally said all the things I’ve been thinking the last few vlogs. These are not things most solo female travelers or backpackers would do. So it’s throwing me off just a little.
You are doing a great job promoting Jamaica but always remember to put your safety first,Jamaica is my Island and I know what can happen so trod carefully ❤❤❤
Great video again. I understand your fear. You thought others would be walking seeing that's its a city, but it seems like that area is not walker friendly. Now you know.
Night market is very cool, ital dumplings, crafts. Please be cautious walking alone in the city especially, which can be safe but could go bad real quick. Would be interested in Ras Atusi, his family and their Jamaican story. Bless up.
Most of those uptown neighbourhoods are pretty safe withe the likelyhood of any kind of danger very minimal but there is the slight chance of wrong place at the wrong time scenario possible...so one still has to be aware and careful
Kingston is petty safe, hanging out with the wrong crowd at night is dangerous. I Pray For Your safety & Protection In Jesus Mighty Name. Amen 🙏🏽🔥🔥🔥💥(Be Smart.Be Wise.Be Vigilant)🙏🏽👍🏽
It depends where in Kingston you are, if there's other people walking around, that's usually a good indication of how safe the area is..up town is generally safer than anywhere else..just use common sense and no flashy jewellery
If she is fearful, she should not be out and about in the streets alone . Most middle class Jamaicans from the Suburbs actually have their family drop them off and pick them up from events if they are not driving themselves. 3 out 10 people get punch in the face by random people in BIG BIG FIRST WORLD NEW YORK CITY ( NBC News) so it's not just Kingston.
Bless up Jess. Now that you are on the island and going viral, you should excercise more caution. Your face and accent makes you stand out and it only takes one cray cray to spoil the whole bunch. Negril was a natural haven and environment and certain sections of MoBay but Kingston is a way different dynamic. You shouldn't carry the same attitude as a lone female in all settings. Love that you are exploring but be wise. ❤
This was a great watch. Enjoyed those 2 ladies at the Market Night Life. Be safe out there JEWS (Jess). BTW, I think you should get the opinion from a few of the females you have met on the island on how they view being called, hey GAL? It's a term used here but not welcomed by all. Love your channel.
Love your content. Thank you for showcasing the everyday life of our country. And yes the catcalling gets annoying.You are not in the tourist areas so especially as a woman going about your day the "psst psst" is an everyday thing. But big up yuself Jess and be safe.
Hey Jews (Jess) @blessupjess The night time vlogs I feel are less popular so if I were you I would put less focus on vlogging at night The night market is nice, but a lot of us are not feeling the vibes seeing you scared and uncomfortable walking around. It’s ok to record for safety, but vlogging and posting about your walk at night puts a negative spotlight and places you in unnecessary risk even though like you said it wasn’t your intention. I think a lot of us like seeing the happy and fearless Jess that we have become drawn and accustomed to in your day vlogs. I think that’s your bread and butter. There’s so much you can see and do during the day. If you do decide to vlog at night, do something that is safe and with a group of people you can trust. Believe me, we don’t like to see you scared and we definitely don’t want to see you get hurt. Tip: I recommend searching and asking to link up with other local RUclipsrs in Jamaica. ie: Skunk Lifestyle, Tiffany Silver One Love 🫶🏼 Jess
Hey Jess. Love your Jamaica journey. I grew up in Jamaica in the hills of Spaldings, Christiana and Mandeville. Jou should visit sometime. I will be in JA staying with family and also at Travellers Resort in Negril. Hopefully I’ll meet Throp!! … and you! April 23-26. Love!
Wow! While we all are enjoying journey and all the wonderful people you are meeting, your safety is paramount to all of your viewers. I highly recommend that you do not walk at night by yourself in Jamaica or anywhere in the world that you really don’t know! The freaks come out at night and you don’t know who will do what, chances are not recommended in this fashion. Please always walk with someone, be safe!!
I’m not even Jamaican but I’m getting tired of these ‘is it safe’, ‘what the media doesn’t show you’ videos that seem to be trending amongst RUclipsrs at the moment. Don’t put yourself in danger for a trending topic. The media is negative about any country that is not a Western country, so no one person needs to take up a mantle to disprove it when most of us know the media has an agenda. So if you would not walk around Australia at night, vlogging and asking ‘is it safe’, why do the same in JA?
This is not a trend I’m jumping on… I’m simply sharing my experience travelling here in Jamaica. Found myself walking to a night market in Kingston and vlogged about it. That’s all there is to it. Big up yourselves and yeah thanks for watching
How is it clickbait or exploitative when it’s literally just me sharing my own personal experience travelling Jamaica? I am walking to a night market at night in Kingston in my video… so how is that clickbait?
Like lots of others have said, JA is just like anywhere else & you have to take the necessary measures to stay safe. You wouldn't get into random guys cars or be too trusting with people back home or in The West so why would JA be different? Your well being is more important than filming content.
Are you having any experiences that don't include the camera? Enjoying life and culture are great. But are you sure no one is watching your patterns? There has to be a balance in how you're doing this. Mix it up a bit and just be in the moment with the people who are physically present. Don't make yourself a target. Walking alone and asking strangers, no matter their jobs or how they present, if you're safe walking here or there suggests you are new and unsure. Don't broadcast that. And this is not a knock on Jamaica.
I am a Jamaican living in the States and I work ten minutes drive from my house and I would not take the Trans to walk home at night from work because it is scary
I think the only reason why I was scared was because of the stories people were telling me that were getting to my head… but apart from that I wouldn’t have necessarily felt walking at the time was scary
There is a thin line between Stupidity and madness. At you own risk
Uptown is usually safe! Most people drive in that area, it’s the cars you really have to be careful of. Night market slanging, it had all my favorite fruits😊
Jess please put your safety first at all times.
You don't have to put yourself in danger to give us good content
No need to put yourself at risk to prove the place is safe. We appreciate you promoting Jamaica but some of your actions are a bit reckless. Keep safe.
That's what am saying
stop scaring her she is ok 😂😂😂

One of the fastest growing channels i have witnessed....WOW..
Kingston at nights is more a driving vibe....not for walking unless its a heavy bus route so you will have lots of pedestrians
The footpaths are so narrow in Jamaica. They're so wide in Oz. Thank God you got there safely, next time I would take a taxi.
When they go to America, they don't go to places like chicago, so why go to the dangerous parts of Jamaica?
Right!!!
@dee2973 you are certainly safer in Jamaica than Chicago. Its only people who have problems with each other in some way. Random people don't get killed in Jamaica like America.

The night market is nice, but a lot of us are not feeling the vibes seeing you scared and uncomfortable walking around. It’s ok to record for safety, but vlogging and posting about your walk at night puts a negative spotlight and places you in unnecessary risk even though like you said it wasn’t your intention.
I think a lot of us like seeing the happy and fearless Jess that we have become drawn and accustomed to in your day vlogs. I think that’s your bread and butter. There’s so much you can see and do during the day. If you do decide to vlog at night, do something that is safe and with a group of people you can trust. Believe me, we don’t like to see you scared and we definitely don’t want to see you get hurt.
Tip: I recommend searching and asking to link up with other local RUclipsrs in Jamaica. ie: Skunk Lifestyle, Tiffany Silver
One Love 🫶🏼 Jess
Hey Jess. Love your Jamaica journey. I grew up in Jamaica in the hills of Spaldings, Christiana and Mandeville. Jou should visit sometime. I will be in JA staying with family and also at Travellers Resort in Negril. Hopefully I’ll meet Throp!! … and you! April 23-26. Love!
I do the same with bottles & tins, I also worked in retail, everyone has handled the front ones 😂😂
Wow! While we all are enjoying journey and all the wonderful people you are meeting, your safety is paramount to all of your viewers. I highly recommend that you do not walk at night by yourself in Jamaica or anywhere in the world that you really don’t know! The freaks come out at night and you don’t know who will do what, chances are not recommended in this fashion. Please always walk with someone, be safe!!
❤You are very brave. I feel more courage's because of you. Everyone and anyone should be be able to go anywhere and feel good, free, and safe. 😊😂🎉❤
BLESS UP
BUT Remember that song -I GOT A FEELING SOMEBODY WATCHING ME 😮
Nowadays that’s worldwide 👍
Both earrings are cute, you’ll suit them x
Bless up Jess walk in faith & not fear you will be fine
@User talk sense - walk by faith yes but you have to use common sense . Come on man
I’m not even Jamaican but I’m getting tired of these ‘is it safe’, ‘what the media doesn’t show you’ videos that seem to be trending amongst RUclipsrs at the moment.
Don’t put yourself in danger for a trending topic. The media is negative about any country that is not a Western country, so no one person needs to take up a mantle to disprove it when most of us know the media has an agenda. So if you would not walk around Australia at night, vlogging and asking ‘is it safe’, why do the same in JA?
Agreed with you totally.
True you said it..this trend will soon pass...just advise she use common sense ❤
This is not a trend I’m jumping on… I’m simply sharing my experience travelling here in Jamaica. Found myself walking to a night market in Kingston and vlogged about it. That’s all there is to it. Big up yourselves and yeah thanks for watching
It's clickbait and somewhat exploitative I'm noticing with a lot of these vloggers
How is it clickbait or exploitative when it’s literally just me sharing my own personal experience travelling Jamaica? I am walking to a night market at night in Kingston in my video… so how is that clickbait?
Just be safe❤😊
Depends on which part of Kingston, is not wise for a foreign
Congrats darl on reaching 10k your rawness and passion is sublime
She's not listening to advice, so leave her alone. Mek her do her ting.
Jess, Pssssst is a Jamaican pickup line. “Pssssst, come eer no Baby” 😂😂
😂😂😂 lol
You love taking chances it’s not safe really
She will find out one
day. Not listening to people's advice.😮
@@eleisha5054 facts
All persons saying it's not safe just feeding the narrative
@@nevilleraheemdavis5568It's wise to caution people, before something bad happens to them.
@@eleisha5054 shut your ahh up nobody is going to do anything to you unless you trouble them
How long will you be there girly? I am coming April 19 through the 26th but I’ll be in Ochos.
Uptown it’s good…just that ppl drive it’s peak hour …they are going home
I really want the dumplings 🤤
Leave Jamaica alone and go to Chicago, lets see how safe it is in other places.
Amen
Were is that place In Kingston ?
Like lots of others have said, JA is just like anywhere else & you have to take the necessary measures to stay safe. You wouldn't get into random guys cars or be too trusting with people back home or in The West so why would JA be different? Your well being is more important than filming content.
You have just debunked the lies told by the yahman girls. Stay blessed Jess. One love 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️🇯🇲🇬🇧
Hi Jess where in Kingston is that market it looks really good.
New Kingston
I can't tell you what to do but I think it's better you go in Negril or Australia are somewhere in America
Banging banging outside 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲❤️❤️
This girl just makes me shake my head. Play stupid games you may get stupid prizes.
I guess because she a foreigner, they will over look her. She will soon find out.
Jess u actually braver than most Jamaica lol
Are you having any experiences that don't include the camera? Enjoying life and culture are great. But are you sure no one is watching your patterns? There has to be a balance in how you're doing this. Mix it up a bit and just be in the moment with the people who are physically present. Don't make yourself a target. Walking alone and asking strangers, no matter their jobs or how they present, if you're safe walking here or there suggests you are new and unsure. Don't broadcast that. And this is not a knock on Jamaica.
I am a Jamaican living in the States and I work ten minutes drive from my house and I would not take the Trans to walk home at night from work because it is scary
I think the only reason why I was scared was because of the stories people were telling me that were getting to my head… but apart from that I wouldn’t have necessarily felt walking at the time was scary
You have traveled before! Keep living! ❤
Thanks girl 🫶🏼
Hi Jess, I love it that you're a nonconformist; That you boldly go where nobody has gone before. 😊 Take care sweety. ❤
Jess u good.
What caused the food poisoning?
