Jamaica lives the curious existence of an African nation in the Caribbean. Known as the home of Rastafarianism and reggae music, Jamaica has a fascinating mixture of experiences to offer. A turbulent history of slavery and tyrannous rule has left its mark on the population, a mark that can be seen in the conflicted lyrics of Reggae music and the poverty that still haunts the nation. Simultaneously, however, Jamaica has the beauty of its mountains and beaches and the hope of a nation poised to pursue recovery. From Kingston to Montego Bay, Jamaica is a study in beauty and potential.
