Expat Women in Kingston

About me
Hi! I am an aspiring digital nomad. Left my 9 to 5 managerial job to find happiness and purpose traveling and meeting different people I live by these words - “ serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” Best described as a free-spirit who is willing to try anything at least once. YOLO is my motto!

About me
Hi! I’m Khalidah, Khali for short. I was born in New Jersey, USA but currently reside in Kingston, Jamaica. I’m back and forth between New York and Kingston a lot! I love to travel and meet fellow travellers. I’m an artist and graphic designer, heavily involved in the art scene in Jamaica. I am also part of the 🏳️🌈 queer community here and promote many queer and sapphic parties in the city. Currently I live with my (male) partner. He works during the day at a restaurant he manages and I work from home. My IG is goddess.khali. We help our neighbor airbnb his apartment while he is out of the country and between guests I allow my friends and other travellers to stay for a week.

Is Kingston safe for women?

Jamaica in general can be a violent place. Kingston is a city and this has a high concentration of people which increases the likelihood of violence and crime. I’ve had my (old) apartment broken into once, however it was poorly secured (no burglar bars). I’ve never been mugged although once, I’ve been pickpocketed, and had a necklace snatched many years ago. I’ve been groped before but when I was much younger. I don’t particularly have fear when I take public transportation but caution should be exercised. Taking private transport (uber etc) reduces the likelihood of mishaps.
