Moving Back To Jamaica After Living In London

[@BusswehTravel]

London or Jamaica?

[@dahulkters1]

Bredda, no disrespect, but you sound like a moaner. You can't move from one country and expect the same vibes in a different country, plus three years is short in terms of cultural change, 5 years the least, I get you missing Jamaica cause its home and most of your years is spend there..eg you spend three years and flying back regularly to charge?? You should be getting to know your wife and yourself.. Jamaica GenX men need to grow a bit.. I'm living in London, link me if you want to talk, ..most ppl in your comments section are not high-level thinkers

[@maureenmckayvlogs]

@@BusswehTravel both for different reasons. London for healthcare and opportunities. Jamaica for lifestyle. But i know if something bad happens to me in jamaica ill be dead on arrival because theres no good healthcare services, no ambulance or paramedics, nothing! Unless youre a tourist in a. Resort youre on your own. When the government officials and wealthy people fly out of jamaica for healthcare what does that tell you? It tells you what they think about their own system there.

Interesting

[@SiEmon_E]

I feel for you bro. Born in England with Jamaican parents after last winter I visited JA for a couple of weeks trying to sort out some business and have a holiday too and I realised that even I feel more at home in JA. England is so depressing esp. in winter where you can go for months without seeing the Sun only rain, fog and gloominess. I realised that though I'm born here my blood and my soul is not built for this climate or culture. I felt so alive as soon as touching down in JA. It was like a return to the motherland. England does have its benefits financially and healthcare wise though. So for me the ideal would be to spend 6 months in JA over winter and the rest in the UK. Bless up for good content keeping things real✌🏽

[@BusswehTravel]

real talk, im working on the passive income now to facilitate 6 months in each... as you said both have the pros and their cons

[@larrysmith3102]

As Dee mwango would say "the land that we all love"

[@maureenmckayvlogs]

Youre right bro, ive been ready to go back home for years but as a mature person with health issues id be stupid to go back full time. But i hope to do 6 here and 6 there. If youre going to buy property just make sure you buy in a secure gated community away from the roughians and crime. Its a bit boring but safe, Good luck❤

Omg this hits so hard because I literally moved from Jamaica to the London last year and I realised Noweh nuh betta yard. Miss Jamaica sm. I had a business in Jamaica that was doing well before I left and I just miss it. One year in and I’m ready to go back home. As a photographer you can work anywhere! There ARE opportunities in Jamaica believe it or not. Don’t have to limit yourself.

I am inspired to make a video about my experience living in the US for 25 years. I came back to live in Jamaica about 12 years ago and I don’t regret that decision. Like you, I had a job and was “existing “ in the US. You make more money in the states in terms of exchange rate, but my peace of mind is more important. One drawback to living in Jamaica is the horrible customer service that you will get from some businesses, compared to living overseas. I❤ living here and will never live anywhere else!

[@BusswehTravel]

yea you do make way more abroad but as you said our customer service really needs a facelift. nowhere like home 😊

[@BusswehTravel]

[@Gourmetkitchen_]

Watching this tears me up! Am going through the same feeling of unhappiness EVERY DAY here in UK 🇬🇧 moved here just few months before pandemic hit! Got pregnant at the beginning of pandemic, instant sickness due to pregnancy 🤰 so for me everything went left!!! In my partner’s face too much caused big trauma for me which I still can’t get over am lonely sad and everything that comes with it! No social life no family nobody really… every day I cry about Jamaica 🇯🇲 but I don’t think people truly understand 😢

[@BusswehTravel]

truly sorry to hear this, are you making plans to go home?

[@andrewhemming2956]

I moved back to Jamaica earlier this year after 40+ years in the U.S.A. It has been an adjustment however it was a wise decision. I’m at peace, low to no stress and living a significantly healthier lifestyle. Before leaving the U.S. I contemplated residing in the UK but the weather and isolated lifestyle was a deterrent.

[@BusswehTravel]

i think you made the right choice, Jamaica is the perfect place for retirement

[@michelecrombie7922]

London is your place of work and Jamaica is home. As long as you can travel back and forth, continue to do so . Both places have its merits . You are in a great position, just enjoy and thrive.

[@IamDrDee]

Congrats on your decision. I moved back to Jamaica in June after 10 years in the U.S. and the 11th year traveling to 14 countries across five continents. No weh nuh better than yard. I'm happy to be home!

[@courtneyrose4913]

You really have a wake-up calling to what you know and have in Jamaica compares to London. The main thing you didn’t have was someone around to teach you what to expect in London. The fact is, you cannot compare London with Jamaica; although there are more money to make and spent in London, you can be very lonely sometimes. I had similar experience leaving Jamaica and living in London. It takes me years before I start feeling comfortable

[@BusswehTravel]

on my third year, still trying to make it make sense

[@devonwoodhouse7299]

That's so true.

[@mickelmclean7670]

Thank you for this I also moved to London some years ago and moved back to Jamaica after 2 years for the same reasons you mentioned. I love the city but but I felt isolated most of the time.

[@BusswehTravel]

i know the feeling, i hope jamaica treating you well 🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@samarastennett2224]

I love this video. I'm a Jamaican student at a University in the U.S. and Since the first semester, I knew I would want to move back home and build my life there. I cannot say I like it in the U.S but the only thing I'm going to miss is the fast delivery lol. As you said, the quality of life is much better in Jamaica with access to nature and natural foods and without the rat race. These Western societies will make us sick if we stay too long. There is money to be made but to me, it makes no sense if you can't move back to paradise (Jamaica) eventually.

[@BusswehTravel]

So true, i hope you get to move back to Paradise in due time!!! 🇯🇲 🇯🇲

[@Sarah-x3t8b]

I have been living in London for 57 years, I moved on several occasions to other parts of the UK but always returned to London after four to six weeks. I think about moving to Jamaica but can't get the courage to make that move

[@BusswehTravel]

57 years is no joke, i salute you for enduring it. It might be much more difficult for you to make the move unless you have a big family in Jamaica. If you do, i suggest you take the leap of faith and wing it from there

[@jorjahdivine9622]

Stay in U.K. Jamaica is too high in crime especially for returning residents. We can’t even trust our own

[@jorjahdivine9622]

Young man I will encourage you to think well. You said you came to the U.K. in 2021; therefore I will say that you are still on a resident permit and for this reason I would encourage you to first get your indefinite status first and remember that even with indefinite you cannot stay out of the U.K. longer than 2 yrs else you loose it totally. And also with a resident permit staying more than 180 days out of U.K. will affect the application for indefinite leave to remain when ready to apply. I know these things as I am a Citizen in U.K. of Jamaican origin and has been here over 30 yrs. So I say to you to be wise as we cannot see what lies ahead. As you go and come from Jamaica to U.K. ensure you don’t jeopardise your status for U.K. and give yourself the opportunity to be able to obtain your ILR and a British passport in future. Remember no one knows what’s around the corner. Good luck

[@sheenz4963]

​@@jorjahdivine9622Yeah fair points.... we don't know his status though. (Im still going through the process

[@Jamaicanbwoi876]

Jamaica will give you social Mobility yes but it come at the expense of everything else. Jamaica will quickly remind you why you wanted to leave in the first place. I would advise you to give england a bit more time. 3 years is no time to judge living somewhere and yes you will be drained mentally and emotionally but bear in mind Jamaica there’s a reason why we drink and party so much, it is to numb those same feelings! Jamaica will always be home but our home don’t love us. I treat Jamaica like a rest from a football game. When I need the break from the running and tackling I go and take the break then get back in the game!

[@BusswehTravel]

i cant argue with you on this one, ive been reminded a lot why i left in the first place (opportunities, crime, etc). the moral of the story is that you just have to water to grass on the side that you want to be greener

[@Jamaicanbwoi876]

@ 100%! I am in the process right now of writing a book on how to navigate migrating. It is a tough journey and if you are not intentional you will get sucked in and quickly forget why you leave Jamaica in the first place. Social life is easy to have in Jamaica but the older you get you realize that social life can’t pay the bills or set up your next generation for success and at some point you have to shift your focus to that. England is not Jamaica and the faster you wrap your mind around that the better you will be. Then you will start to enjoy what ever else it has to offer, problem is we are looking for Jamaica and we feel disappointed because we are not finding it. Stop looking for it, when you need it jump on a plane.

[@MurineBryan-Watson]

Take the Victoria Line to Brixton and you will feel more of being in Jamaica

​​​​​​@@BusswehTravelLondon is not livable in this economy. 20 years ago London was more affordable to live. You came to England at the wrong time (2021), where the cost of living now in London is much higher than what it use to be. Maybe, consider moving outside of London where the cost of living in other UK cities is lower. You probably would have find it more better if you came to London in the early 2000's.

London will never be the same as Jamaica. 💫 So plan your exit. Many persons have already left London to live in warm countries. 💫 Also, England is not free and easy. You will work all you're life just to pay your bills. 💫 I know I live here. 💥 It's the same in the in Europe, the US and Canada. Bills, bills an Taxes. 💫Living in the Caribbean is the best life ever. 💫 Do a complete break down of all the bills and how much you have to pay each month for everything. 💫 Go to the shops and video the cost of the food. 💫 Show people how expensive it is for everything, and nothing is free and easy. 💯

i agree with you but its not even about free and easy, i am a hard working young man. its more along the lines of culture and geographical differences.

[@PPP-zk2vs]

You’re supposed to work all your life, how else are you going to live ?? Jamaica is a high cost of living and not comparable to incomes, and a lot of people rely on remittances which is charity really. Jamaica is great for a social life and the weather, but you can’t party for ever and the heat can be as oppressive and challenging as the cold. You need to decide on what is important to you, as no can really have it all. London is the worst place to live, high cost of living and no sense of community. Move somewhere else

i completely get that, ive been trying to explain this point to my friends in uk but they still dont get it

[@jackiemrowell4667]

Mutual feelings. I am living in the UK for over 22 yrs . In my opinion I feel happier living in UK than Jamaica. As eventhough people are poor but with support they can access similar things . They can live in a house that all the amenities. For example basis running water .light , decent roads. Shop in super market and doesn't feel like no one is better than the other. People speak to others with respect, whether you are rich or poor. No one watch the clothes that you wear ,the way who look. This country looks more on your attitudes more than your surface or assets. I feel more respected and safe here than when I was living in Jamaica. Don't get me wrong. I love Janaica and go there actually evey year but because of the system in Jamaica as it is design to hold ordinary Jamaica down it really breaks my home.

Hi there this vlog was very informative, especially for individuals who might be thinking about making the move from JA to UK, USA etc. I am born Jamaican but have spent my whole life in the US. I knew at an early age that I wanted to live in JA, even though the states is so convenient in many ways, and the US dollar values more in JA my heart is in JA. I am planning to make that transition to live in JA, too many of us choose to stay in a country where we’re not happy due to fear. We can’t let fear control what our hear desire, living in fear will drown the body mentally and physically. To each own we all have different journey in life so think smart and do what makes you happy, don’t do what others want you to do. Blessings

I’ve lived in London for 15 years and recently decided to leave. Things are getting worse here. Maybe life was much better here before compared to other places, but it doesn’t make sense to live here anymore. If you’re very rich, you might enjoy it but you won’t be able to walk on the street. Anyone can get robbed on the street at any time now. And if you’re not very rich, you’ll struggle to afford life. So many people are stressed and struggling to stay alive.

I am British born, and even I want to go and live in the Caribbean with my mother. London, where I live, is nothing like it used to be. We have a mayor who is ruining everything for the everyday Londoner. It's totally messed up. When people say they want to come here, I ask them why. Stay where you are and build up your country because there's nothing here to build anymore.

UK People are not naturally social Too built up Institutional Racism Good Transport Very Work Focused Nuclear Family Abundance of things to spend your money on Cheaper travel abroad JA People are more open to stopping and having a chat Greenery Food Growing everywhere More sense of Community Good transport between 7am to 7pm Work is important but leisure time is equally as important Extended family's and more family interaction Plenty to spend on but also so much free things Traveling abroad is expensive but why would you want to leave?

@@BusswehTravel Thank you. Look forward to your journey back to Jamaica. You have skills and seem to be a pro active person so success is waiting. IMO, UK use to be a place when you could work, save and do something with your money. Now people are struggling for the basics and things are heading to get worse. Jamaica has its problems too. One thing that I love is that it is easier to start something for yourself and make your own income. UK can be a lonely and stressful place. I value *PEACE*

[@leroysmart9363]

Anyone who has moved to the UK especially London in the last 5 years you have made a big mistake, especially financially Even in the last 10 years. You have missed the boat.. Price of living now outstrips salary. Unless you have a job paying you £35/40k you will end up working to survive.

[@leroysmart9363]

In the 1980s and average salary was £15-18k and average house prices £68k... You don't wanna know what it is now. I graduated in 1988 and my first salary was £13k and I brought my first house in 1991 for £59k which was a 3 bedroom terrace in London E7. Sold it for £350k in 1999. If your not on the property ladder get out of London

Sorry to hear your experience didn't live up to your expectations it was probably the worst time to arrive during Covid. London and its experience can make anyone experience one of hardship .the other Jamaican centre's Birmingham Bristol Manchester may not offer the high speed and money but if its space and warm friendly people move out and commute to London for your work while visiting Jamaica regularly. Its the weather and location in England can make life seem grey and if your are unfamiliar were the Jamaica nightlife is it can seem dull.i have family that live in the country by rivers oand open land horse riding fruit trees all that you describe are all there. In terms of benefits for health its unmatched access to free health for life balances out living in Europe ..if your place is warm your half way there its as important as air con in yard ..peace🙏🏽..all de best farda

[@feonasmith9226]

Having lived in different countries myself I would say you are experiencing culture shock. You need to decide what is important to you and pursue that. No one can tell you what is right for you. I have returned to Jamaica and the potential I see on the north coast is WAY better than I have seen in other countries. Explore a bit, keep an open mind. Thanks for sharing your story. I have come to the conclusion that most Jamaicans who have migrated since covid have ended up worse off, even if they make more money, their quality of life has declined significantly. Jamaica is growing and getting better over time. Five years from now it will be an even better place to live than it is now.

My husband lives very close to Cane River, entire families are being found murdered, he goes funeral every weekend. He is looking a way out of the chaos. It's beautiful there and I want to live there but bad minded people say he switched up since he met his wife. Jealousy brings danger. A gun has been put in his face twice now. He owns his home up on the mountains. Really feel confused where to live now. Canada is crazy expensive and cold most months. Was born here and found Jamaica to be fabulous. He wants to leave that dangerous atmosphere and come here and I want to leave here and move there. At a crossroads currently. I do not have an online job so I would need to work my medispa business there. Any suggestions??

@@BusswehTravel yeah honestly if it’s culture you want it’s places like Shoreditch, old street, Hoxton, Dalston Hackney sides, Brixton, Peckham, If you’re up North Manchester is your best bet but the blacks there are different less connected to their roots you have Birmingham in the midlands but it is a bit grim and small, everywhere else is pretty unseasoned honestly. Truth is that’s how all us black people cope, same way as you we tough it out and take a break to recharge and top up and vitamin D and sunshine and we time our holidays from Nov- April to shrink our winters here. The good thing about uk is travelling and cheap breaks are easier to Africa and Europe you can get to most places direct short or long haul.

Bro, as a British Caribbean- London and certain parts of the UK has always been a cold place to live for black people. We don’t get the same privileges, we have to work harder and most of our communities have been destroyed. Weather is not really good for our skin or hair. It’s sad but the whole reason why Caribbean’s was brainwashed to come to the UK in the 50-60s era was because they thought it would be better. But now it’s our community is full of more crimes, less jobs and underdeveloped. But that’s often not for white areas. Jamaicans just have to be realistic and do more research before coming here. Realistically it’s about what you can tolerate pros and cons everywhere.

With your skills you can work from anywhere in the world. 💥 So stay in Jamaica and get your clients from around the world. 💥 Build or buy yourself a nice property and live your life... 💥 You can still travel to see the world.💥 However, the main thing is to have a nice property in Jamaica so you can enjoy the rivers and trees and greenery... in a nice warm country, like St.Andrew parish. 💥 A lot of smart people go to London for business, shopping or fun then leave. They don't live in London. Not even rich people live in London. 💥 It doesn't make sense when you can have a mansion in Jamaica with the money you spend in London. 💥 Start looking to buy your peace of land in Jamaica and stop wasting money on rent in London. 💥
