Travel Jamaica
Land of Wood and Water
Montego Bay is one of Jamaica’s most recognizable cities, known for its turquoise water and easy access to resorts. Montego Bay is a natural starting point for iconic experiences like rafting down the Martha Brae River, where bamboo rafts glide through lush scenery just outside the city. Beyond the beaches, I learned while there that Jamaica’s national colors tell their own story: black represents the strength and resilience of the people, gold reflects the island’s natural wealth and sunlight, and green symbolizes the land’s rich vegetation and hope for the future. These elements ground Montego Bay not just as a vacation destination, but as a place shaped by enduring cultural pride.

Jamaica is a breathtaking country, and while there, I learned so much about the culture including the flag's symbolism, the origins of jerk food, of which I had my fill, and of course I heard the music of the great Bob Marley.
