It’s time to say goodbye to Ocho Rios and @WhoIsHerby and head to a new part of the island I’ve been hearing so much about. In this video i will show you how you can take the Knutsford Express, Jamaica’s comfortable and affordable bus transportation. We will be leaving from Drexel Station In Ocho Rios and arriving in Port Antonio which is apart of Portland Parish. I must say after waking up the next morning i think I’ve arrived in The Best parish In Jamaica! It was a very easy going bus ride with about 2-3 stops along the way dropping folks off. Once arriving in port Antonio i got a taxi which charged about $20USD to take me to my accommodation (air b n b link down below i am not affiliated or sponsored). My check in process was easy and after some rest i think it’s time we explore port Antonio! Would you take the Knutsford express ?

Bro, I still can't get over the fact that we coincidently ended up at the same Airbnb. Crazy. The Knutsford was a great experience. Our Airbnb host was pretty Kool as well. Big up Jamaica 🇯🇲 🇯🇲🇯🇲
Couldn't agree more! haha it was a pleasure meeting you we will have to get together again. good luck on your next trip my brother
U ain't been to the real jamaica yet. Go to places where they don't have any beach, just regular people living their lifes if u want to see real jamaica. Go to Mandeville, where no tourist goes. Not because it's dangerous just that no beaches for you to enjoy.
@@dopamine2332 lol bro saw me post four videos from Jamaica and says i haven’t been to the real Jamaica but yet not knowing where i am or what I’ve already done. You people crack me up. The internet is crazy lol
I prefer this pver the ghetyos and literal dump anyday. Youtibers are going to Riverton sayong look how most Jamaicans live. Most videos potray our country as a warzone and only resorts and ghettos. His videos ate a breath of fresh air. Props to Herby as well. @@dopamine2332
Lol he right tho. Been watching alot youtubers can't find two videos of any of them going Mandeville or Maypen st elizabeth lil barely any tho dude got a point
I just booked my ticket to Jamaica!!! 🇯🇲 ty PoJo for all the amazing content!! I can't wait to explore all that Jamaica has to offer!!! Blessings and Big Up!!
You are going to have much fun. 👌🏽
What I like about your vlog is that you are teaching persons how to backpack in a safe and affordable fashion.Thanks for showcasing St.Ann as well.Portland is indeed beautiful.
Thank you very much for appreciating my channel 👌🏽🇯🇲🇯🇲
Bro u out here living the authentic life … big up
Appreciate your support my brother
Nanny maroon,was a freedom fighter, she fought against the British to free her people from slavery
Thank you for this 👌🏽
Somerset Falls and Blue Lagoon are gorgeous
Nobody told me about somerset falls I’ll have to go check it out
@@PoJoTheBackPacker very beautiful
Yes Somerset Fall is awesome
@PoJoTheBacIts in Hope Bay not far from Port Antonio or to fro Mo.BaykPacker
@@gloriathompson4010 ok
I'm from Portland to be exact, Fairy Hill district, where you're staying also Santa Cruz St. Elizabeth. While in Portland ck out Folly Ruins, the light house, Titchfield, Rio Grande, Long bay, Winifred beach, Frenchman Cove, nonsuch caves, Dragon Bay if it's open, monkey island, Flynn Estate many beautiful places in Portie. Enjoy.
So far this is the best parish
Frenchman's Cove is my favorite in Portland!
Here watching & showing support bro
I hope you’re enjoying my country 🤍🇯🇲
It’s absolutely beautiful!!! I underestimated the size of this place
Try the ackee and salt fish for breakfast. Eat our variety of fruits such as East Indian and Julie mangoes, sweetsop, sugar plums, guinep, jackfruit etc…Also it’s easy to make friends with the locals.
Ackee and salt fish has an acquired taste. I hate when Jamaicans tell people to try it as if it has a normal taste. Even Jamaicans either hate it or love it. Ackee is a very unique food. It tastes like nothing we are used to eating. When you recommend it to people, you should let them know that they may have to acquire the taste to truly savor it.
Thank you for this information
Also thank you for letting me know it’s an acquired taste i don’t want to offended anyone if it does not fit my palette
@@jamdawgutube Most foods have an acquired taste . That’s why we say TRY it .
I would love for you to check out the 7 mile beach in the grill, also in Kingston I would love for you to check out the blue Mountains and also hope Gardens,
From Kingston do you suggest i take a tour to the blue mountains or what do you suggest i do there ? I don’t really want to do a tour but i will hike it
@@PoJoTheBackPacker hey there’s so many things to do you can go to the Rastafarian village, also the blue mountains to check out where blue mountain coffees come from, They also do like a special hike up in the blue Mountains also. I will look into that for you hopefully you’ll still be there when I get that information for you.
@@lesmawatkins7020 i think I’ll be in Jamaica for awhile lol
@@lesmawatkins7020 i appreciate you 💪🏽
Blessing everytime bro
Appreciate the support 👌🏽💪🏽
Nanny of the Maroons, our only female national heroine. She was a healer and military leader of the Portland Maroons. You can visit Charles Town while you are in portland to meet the maroons. They also have a village called Acconpong in St.Elizabeth. i have been to both and i definitely reccomend
Can i ask how you got to this village did you rent a car or go on a tour or?
@@PoJoTheBackPacker it was a tour. Charles town does have a website you can contact them trough regrading tours.
Fully watched bro, Jamaica 🇯🇲 is so beautiful
Shout out to stigma boss he’s a real one you guys subscribe to his channel💪🏽👌🏽 bro our video is gunna be a banger

Thank you very much Jess👌🏽🇯🇲
Nanny of the Maroons.
National dish is ackee and saltfish.
Try to link up with Jamaica sunrise TV. He lives in that area.
Thank you for the advice
Dude i love how you showcase our food. I hate oxtail but i can literally experience its goodness in your every bite. You should do a couple videos just on our food. Link up with @JamaicaFoodBoss a local youtube food blogger. You won't be sorry.
Haha thank you oxtail so good.. i will check him out
Blue lagoon and French man cove wifred beach 🏝️ long beach 🏖️ and river in Portland
👌🏽
You fit right in, you could pass for a jamaican, both you and the other man that checked out too
😂😂
I hope you visited Somerset Falls, Trident Castle Resorts, Blue Lagoon, and Rio Grande. MooreTown to see the monument to Nanny. Transportation in Jamaica if you compare it to other Caribbean nations is actually far more reliable based on my experience and you have been very lucky Jamaicans never give rides to people they don't know unless it's a taxi.
I was unaware of these places that’s why i need my fellow Jamaica or travelers who have traveled Jamaica to tell me where to go and what to do. These places sound interesting… also i believe the lady really helped me because she heard me say I’m from Miami and she was flying in from Miami… so maybe because we had something in common she helped me out 😂
@@PoJoTheBackPacker I did mention Somerset falls to you before I think. That lady was still extraordinarily nice picking you up as a female I would not do it. Culturally, black people don't pick up hitchhikers, and Jamaicans are the same that's more a white girl thing, hence the Italian girl who picked up you guys in Ochi. not to make it about race. Plus there is the whole crime issue in JM people are very distrustful of others. I would say it is the American accent, the glasses and you are handsome so that helps but still it's a risk. Jamaicans are very hospitable to tourists. If you visit the English-speaking Eastern Caribbean islands you won't receive the same level of hospitality that you receive in JM. We are very welcoming to tourists/ foreigners but tourists are important to most Caribbean economies.
@@MikaMile-tp3kp sorry bro so many comments i get a little lost. But yea trust me i know black people ain’t picking up a hitchhiker lol this ain’t my first rodeo 😂 and her son was driving i was in he front seat and she was in the back. Yea it was a risk but she had good energy.
The Nanny Mounment is located in the Rio Grande Valley. It has a hiking trail, which leads to a fall called Nanny Falls. It's a historic site, off the beaten path, in a local village. Check it out!
Nanny of the Maroon, she was a national heroine the only female at that. Portland to me is really the most beautiful parish in Jamaica and so much to see. Also the knutsford location was moved to drax hall recently from the town in Ocho rios and the location you were seeing in the town is really a Courier service
St.ann is the most beautiful parish by far not Portland
Thank you for the clarification i really appreciate it. Yes i had no idea who nanny of the maroons was seems like i will have to do my research
Truthfully i will have to explore more of all parish’s.. Jamaica is actually an interesting place for me
@romarioonline6924 I'm from st. Ann and it's a matter of opinion. Could be debatable cuz I love my parish
@@juniorfletcher9104 if u say Portland look better than st.ann u sick
As a jamaican particularly a kongstonian, who lived in jamaica most of my 35 years i have never been to portland, i probably have pass through, but i have never visited and stopped and got off, maybe because i dont know anyone there
When you get the chance do visit. Your country is beautiful
Nanny of the Maroons, Jamaica's only heroine
Good stuff man! Great work!
Thank you my brother
Visit blue lagoon, French man cove,san,San Beach, .Boston, enjoy
Thank you for the recommendations
Po JO will be checking out your content
Appreciate the support i have much more to come
Big up you self that's my parish
So far it’s my favorite think i might come back around and stay longer
Did u buy your ticket to leave from kingston already because if your in port Antonio u could just take the knutsford back to the sangster's international in mobay?
Thank you for that information
Bless up!
👌🏽
Great content! Where did you stay in St. Antonio?
I stayed in ferry hill would you like the link to the guesthouse ?
@@PoJoTheBackPacker yes please, thank you.

@@marissabundy5294 it’s called Porty hostel. They also have private rooms. It’s a cool place
Is that Knusford in Drax Hall or Ocho Rios?
Drax hall
Big up
Appreciate the support 👌🏽
Bigup herby

The AirBnB is in a gated community in Portmore for USD $130 per night and he can get a car for you to rent.
I’ll think about it
Ok
What is in portmore to do?
You have Hellshire Beach in Portmore, you have lots of seafood places in Portmore. You can tour the city of Portmore if you want, you have the new mall (Sovereign Village) etc.
Anytime you’re back in Jamaica 🇯🇲 and need an AirBnB in Portmore, reach out to me, and I can have you link with a friend of mine. No swimming pool 🏊♀️ there as yet.
If you can message my IG that would be excellent. Or Facebook my links are in my bio
Po’Jo we call them Pot Holes not humor 😂😢😂😂😂
😂 noted
Not every dish. White rice usually served with curries and sea food.
Noted
No battery room break toilet on the bus
No we took a bathroom break
Noooooooo, the BEST PARISH IS CLARENDON
Will you allow me some time to make it there and see for myself ? I didn’t wanna go yet because i heard still some laces no power due to the hurricane.
❤❤
Thank you for your support
You're welcome! I enjoyed seeing the beautiful 🇯🇲 🙂
@@bellabrown4787 more to come
Have you been to all 14 Parishes???!!!!! There are so many other Parishes wayyyy more beautiful than there...
He likes Portland leave the man alone, lots of foreigners are inlove with portland
Portland look old and under develop
Hello Jenna thank you for asking. Nope i haven’t i just got to Jamaica but i know what i like when im traveling and this place and the nature and being secluded is very nice. But if you can help give me advice on other parishes, maybe things to see and do i would be more than open to your suggestions. If you have any locals i can connect with as well please do message my IG or my FB… im new to Jamaica and i would like to show people more than just a few touristy things. I hope you can respect that and reply back with some good information.
How’s it going. Right now in Jamaica it seems to be low season. I did literally no research on Jamaica as i came here LAST MINUTE.. i don’t know foreigners love Portland that’s news to me… where i am staying and what I’ve seen so far I’ve been the only foreigner again probably due to low season? But so far yes, i do like Portland
That’s not very nice to say. Some people appreciate beauty differently. I’ve seen amazing history in port Antonio so far and to me even if it’s an old building and “under developed” it means something to someone. Ive enjoyed every bit so far of downtown port Antonio and Portland. Where are you from?
You must listen to the USA travel advisory. Jamaica is rated a red alert country, extreme gun violence and killings on par with Afghanistan. you better be careful man. Hope you make it out of there in one piece!
This has to be a troll lol
Go away fool
@@PoJoTheBackPackerhe is trolling
