Show Notes

More Jamaicans returned home in 2023 than any year in recent memory, but where they choose to settle determines everything. From the cool mountains of Manchester Parish to the bustling tourism centers of St. James, each of Jamaica's fourteen parishes offers a different path to homecoming. Real estate prices have doubled in five years, infrastructure projects worth billions reshape entire regions, and healthcare access varies dramatically between rural and urban areas. The Jamaica you left is not the Jamaica you will find.
