Hi all,
I’ve seen a few posts from people discouraging relocation because lack of jobs... however, I’m in a different situation. My company is likely to allow me to relocate and work remotely from Jamaica (we publish textbooks for Caribbean schools, so it’s in the business’s interest to have an editor based in the region). It’s really tempting as every time I’ve been to the Caribbean i’ve loved it.
My issue... i’m a single 26 year old female from london and i’m a bit worried about safety. I’d mostly be working from home, but visiting authors and schools a few times a week so i’d be out and about. It’s likely i’d need to be near to Kingston so to be able to have meetings there a couple of times a week - but I wouldn’t necessarily need to live in Kingston (and, personally, i’d love to be near a beach!).
I’m visiting again in june and plan to spend a couple of days scoping out areas I would potentially live. Where would you recommend given my situation? Would you recommend this move in general?
Thanks!
