Waa gwaan? Mi name Latoya :)

I have over 5 years experience in the hospitality industry as an Entertainment Coordinator & Retreat Manager. I am also a travel writer and children's author. I can show you the raw Jamaica, be it a street side gift shop, a real yardie party, teach you some of our history or an Irie adventure. I am your go-to for Jamrock. Patois & dance lessons included of course :)

I've been dancing all my life and adore the nightlife in Kingston. From the great Reggae to hardcore Dancehall to dub, I am your go-to. I love dancing! Nothing gets your blood pumping like it. And if you haven't tried Jamaican dancing, you are seriously missing out.

My children's titles are "Irie the Caterpillar" & "Irie the Butterfly", YA & poetry books which are available on Amazon. I also have a poetry book written in our dialect, Patois called "Jamaican Fi Life".

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you Jamaican dancing, dialect, culture and show you around Jamaica. I can share my love of books. Maybe, we can create a story together or climb Blue Mountain (really awesome experience). There so much this island woman can show you about this country and in general, life.
