25 ways a trip to Jamaica will make you a happier person

KINGSTON, Jamaica – Buzzfeed, a global network site for news and entertainment, which has been steadily gaining popularity, has listed 25 ways a trip to Jamaica will make a person happier.

Jamaica’s beaches, mountains, food, music (Chronixx and others), sunrise, sunset, Blue Mountain coffee, Bob Marley Museum, view, tropical flowers, accessibility to bars and weed, were a few of the things heavily credited as factors that can make a person happier.

In the article written by Annie Daley, it stated that despite the poverty and heavy violence “Jamaicans as a whole maintain a fiercely positive and unified spirit”.

Below is the list compiled by Buzzfeed:

1. The beaches are seriously beautiful;

2. And you can eat and drink all the deliciousness you want on beaches;

3. There are also beautiful, beautiful mountains;

4. And you can stay in them [Places available to stay on the mountains];

5. And even hike to the top of them for sunrise;

6. Blue Mountain coffee is seriously amazing;

7. There’s happy music playing everywhere;

8. And thanks to this music, there’s a powerful; feeling of consciousness that will seep into your soul;

9. You can visit the Bob Marley Museum in Kingston;

10. And even play around in the fields where Marley grew up;

11-12. You can wake up to beautiful views;

13.here are beautiful tropical flowers everywhere you turn.

14. And bars, too. So many bars;

15. Speaking of drinks, Red Stripe tastes good at any time of day — morning, noon, and night;

16. As does Rum & Ting;

17. You can smoke pretty much whenever and wherever you want;

18. There are tons of random secret parks and forest patches just waiting to be discovered;

19. The jerk situation is ON POINT;

20. And the rest of the local food is damn good, too;

21. There are even a bunch of organic farms you can visit;

22. The Blue Lagoon is a thing that exists;

23. There are tons of cute little cottages and Airbnbs;

24. The sunsets are just magical;

25. But perhaps most of all, Jamaica is the best place to slow down for a second, breathe deep, and just smile. Because ‘everyting really is irie, mon … just the way it should be’.
