- Ah, Jamaica. Most Americans go there to sit at a resort and down piña coladas for a few days, buying overpriced herbs from their taxi driver along the way (not speaking from personal experience here, obviously). But there’s way more to this country than that, and I had travelled to Saint Elizabeth, far from the tourist zones in Montego Bay, to go find out what Jamaica was really like. And if I was serious about getting to know the place, I knew I had to learn some patwah. Caw patwah a di real language a Jamaica, yuh see me?
#sabbatical #jamaica #caribbean
Wa gwan Jamaica! Time to complete some Caribbean sidequests. Looking forward to seeing how it compares to the African countries we've been to. Let's do this.
Never stop exploring your content is amazing! 🙏
Wagwan Tommy 😎 me say hi 👋
Some say it compares alot with Ghana. Maybe because alot of people were brought in from that area. For example Junkanoo, obeah, pocomania, possibly originated from Ghana. Paint jobs are done in similar style as in Ghana. Food cuisine is simliar; yam and cassava brought is from West Africa.
Come belize 🇧🇿 soon
Locals will find it funny when you try to speak.
The interactions with the locals make these videos very special.
It’s because he’s personable and makes the effort to learn these languages. I’m impressed.
very true
Yeah, it is the locals that we love. I'll ask all my friends where they were born. When it is not here, I'll kick them out. From now on, I will only talk to locals. In local dialect. Like, our fucking locals are the best motherfuckers in the world. Of course that is local dialect, it's how much we appreciate our neighbours.
Out of all other vloggers I have been watching, your videos somehow feel the most humane, organic. I am tired of this fake world and I think you are helping many of us depressed people who are stuck in their apartments.
Him and Bald and Bankrupt are the best travel vloggers.
The covid scam . There is a better world coming. . Trust me
@@gregoryian123 I hope so man.
This is one of the reasons I'll travel more. That lady asking you if you want to come for a party on Sunday, I love this things, to meet new people, to hear their stories, make new friends, I'm loving it! ❤️
I would love to visit Jamaica. Greetings from Kenya to all Jamaicans.

Oh a local watch him as well?! Greetings my Trini!
Never thought i'd hear from a fellow trini on this channel, i am slowly getting addicted to his vids
I’m addicted as well and I am not Trini, but have a Trini wife :)
Am Ugandan living in Australia. Anyone wants a tour?
I do agree with you @karmy1. I'm jamaican and i'm impressed.

Ya gotta be the coolest dude I've ever seen . Your like a chamaeleon, you blend right in where ever you go!!! Fantastic stuff fer sure!!! Keith In Florida
man i love the way you interact with the locals,many travel youtubers dont do this ,which they should .thats the beautiful things of interacting with the locals.you come to hear about their lives and wonderful stories on a scenic beach which makes your whole existence a success .
Those are the riches I seek.
Yea, that's our favorite part about traveling; meeting the locals!
cool to hear this guys story and just see how other parts of the world are living.
Other countrys live in prison😂
@@grozdinapetrowic4323 and where are you from?
Thanks for taking me from Philly to African and Jamaican streets . Living viciously through your adventures !
Ya man
*vicariously my man! You got it tho!
Me too lol
Baker X u beat me to it hah
Lol viciously😂
We're from Australia, but I spent a year with my wife in Jamaica, back in 2001. Based in Kingston, but travelled all over, Ocho Rios, Port Antonio, Montego Bay, Negril, Boston Bay for Jerk. Great place, lovely people.
"Out of Many, One People". Much Love from Kenya.
We in Kenya we share alot of cultural aspects and one of the biggest consumer of Jamaican music in Africa,actually Go to Portmore, Kingston. Wanna experience how things are down there.
@Padre Yes, not only Kenyans love Jamaican music. When I go to Reggae Festivals or concerts I see many Africans loving this music, from Gambia, Ghana, Ivory Coast ... one love
@@ingridreim3205
United we stand , divided we fall .
@@eyeandisinclair821 👍🙂
Hey Padre? go see your countryman. i'am Marwa. He has blogs from Portmore.
From Kenya one love brothers and sisters in Jamaica
That guy is such a proper person. What a lovely experience.
The Jamaicans are so nice. wish them all the best.
unless you have a sister
We just working on our papers to migrate to Jamaica. Lovely people, good food and vibes. We luv it.
Ya mon. I-and-I can identify. Sittin and chillin' down by da beach, bailing a likkul ting of righteous chalice fodder, fire it up, and feel irie while da waves is greetin' da sand. Hey, we're tagging along from Africa and still following your journey. Anyone who makes it out of Nigeria without any mishaps is badass for sure. This bud's fer you sir.
Ya Man. If you can make it in Nigeria, you can make it anywhere.
😁!
😅 Wa gwan! If you can make it in Nigeria 🇳🇬 you can make it anywhere
✊🏽🇪🇹🇰🇪 ❤️ 🇯🇲
@@kaderathebeekeeper22m3 🤣😅 True!! He's prepared for any country now. 🇳🇬
Wannabe.
@@b.sorger5189you sound so agitated and upset. Hope you get better soon.
Tommy you're a fun dude..you will fit right in with Jamaican culture.
He is a Swiss pocket knife. He can cut an apple, he is scissors, he can file your nails for you, he is a cork screw. And he always smiles. And he looks like what people want Jesus to look like. I suspect he is one of the first military robots, made from human tissue, and these video's are tests, to see if "THE LOCALS" dig him. It seems he is doing fine.
So excited to see you in my home Tommy 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲. Please try to explore some east coast cities and countrysides as well. Big cities like Kingston and Portmore are a must visit. You can get a real feel of different sides of life in Kingston, from the struggling lower income inner-city neighborhoods in parts of the east and southern parts, to the rich neighborhoods in upper St. Andrew. If you go to Portmore, you gotta visit Hellshire beach it’s some of the best local seafood you’ll get. Also, the countrysides in Portland are breathtaking! My brain is overwhelmed with all the places I wanna recommend 😩. Please feel free to ask for recommendations in any particular region. I was born and raised in Kingston+Portmore but I’ve traveled all over so I may be able to give some useful info. Big up yuhself Tommy, Happy Exploring!
Any historic antique buildings in Jamaica? And how is the crime rate in there? Wanna visit soon 🙏🏻
@@tafabeatz There's the villa of the first Jamaican millionaire which we visited when we were there
@@Kyra_of_Kerkyra are there any castles or something?
@@tafabeatz no but there are many colonial buildings and cathedrals etc.
@@tafabeatz lots of great houses and estates from the slavery days throughout the island. Devon house in Kingston is a great house that is worth visiting, same for Rose Hall in Montego Bay Area.
I can tell spending time in Africa played a great part in this decision.
Here is not Africa. Here's Caribbean
@@jamesluisrodriguezsolly9062 he didnt say it was africa, what u talkin about? and he's right btw.
@@jamesluisrodriguezsolly9062 I did not say it was sir, but, the similarities with the culture are enormous.
@@BCAB1992 The landscape and lifestyle are very similar to East Africa.
@@jamesluisrodriguezsolly9062 shut up will ya? who no know say here be caribbean?
You've gone from a country that is part of my heritage that i want to visit next year (Nigeria), to my favourite Island, which is also my girlfriends roots.
This channel randomly pooped up in my feed last week so I thought I'd watch a little bit.......I binge watched most of Africa..... now I'm happy because I get to watch a new adventure from the start 👍
I'm stuck at 'pooped' 🤔
Wow you traveling Jamaica solo it’s impressive that where ever you go you take a interest in the people , their culture and try to learn the language.
THE JAMAICAN PEOPLE SEEM TO BE THE NICEST, RESPECTFUL PEOPLE, IVE SEEN. WISH I COULD GO THERE.
GOD BLESS!
Jamaica honest hard working respectful people.....would love to visit Old Kingston but I dont have a rough edge to me and am introvert .............King Tubby is my musical hero. Bu love the country roads and town and the chill people. beautiful, quiet, and uncorrupted environment. wish goodness and prosperity without corrupt vulgar corporate involvement. You have a good and likable personality.
Big ship sailing on the ocean!!!!! Love this Sabbatical.
I can feel you. The haunting beauty of the Land and it's people have a fine appeal.
Make sure you check out the Blue Mountains and Frenchman's Cove located near in Port Antonio. Also the bioluminescent waters🏝😊
Welcome to my and many others beautiful island of the wonderful Jamaica 🇯🇲 Big Up!!!
I went a few times to Hedonism2 back in the 80's. Loved Jamaica. Oh and don't forget to try the mushroom tea. ;-)
Man Jamaicans are my favorite people. Small country with such a big music influence alover the world. It even had some influence on the music in my country
As a ugandan i love Jamaica so much💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
We love you too , we are one.
Knew you couldn’t stick NY for long ! Jamaica 🇯🇲 looks awesome. Getting very chill vibes so far
Jamaica you have a Guest truly Respected! A Wonderful dude the best tourist to chat and learn with,
I'm from Jamaica
Your Gregarious is infectious dude. When I’m out and about I find myself talking to strangers as if I’ve know them all my life! Love the videos; I’m fascinated by different cultures!
Exactly, I started doing the same thing he does even with the people in my own country and neighborhood lmao. Just chatting.
Tommy go to Port Antonio you will love it there. It’s my husbands parish 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🙌🙌 amazing 🤩 Tom have the best time.
Alot a food grow that side
As a Nigerian I like Jamaicans a lot.
Because you're the same
@@aaronmulenga5421 Soo you have to be the same as someone to like them? That's ignorant
Most Jamaicans are of Igbo, Nigeria descent. Igbo culture and languages, as well as other cultures from Africa, were key in forming the Jamaican Patois language and culture during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.
@@fabrizi7362 most are of Akan/Ashanti descent from Ghana
Jamaicans like Nigerians a lot.
I screamed, like a little kid 🥺🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
So did my husband 😂
Ya man ma braada
jamaica is a very clean country
they keep their environment very very clean ❤️
Need to change your glasses
@no one It just depends on where you go but regardless the 'majority' of Jamaica is in fact very clean.
You just gotta love Jamaica and its people. So beautiful 🇯🇲❤
Welcome to Jamaica 🇯🇲
I've followed your African journeys.
Your grasp of our patois is quite impressive.
Keep on travelling the world bro
I’ve been watching your channel for a pretty long time, and it’s so great to see you here in Jamaica. I’m loving this video. You visited the real Jamaica 🇯🇲! Big up yourself!!
I love Treasure Beach! I stayed at Jakes Place for a week years ago, met a couple locals guys and took the local boat ride to see some goodies! Side fact, Jakes place interior design was done by Bob Marley’s mom! They always drank Guinness. A fresh beer always they always did a tiny pour to the ground for freshness check and give back.
Yes man
Your linguistic skills is just legendary
Bless up
Watching
I hope we get to see the video from the party. Although being familiar with Jamaican parties, it might not be suitable for TH-cam. Lol
Big facts 😂😂😂
what happens?
@@rudeboi_ryu They watch mopeds. Or motorbikes. Very exciting.
Funny been watching you while you where in .africa ..now you are in Jamaica from.where I have been watching your videos..enjoy and welcome
I love this jamaica 🇯🇲 to the world!!
Dude, I just wanna chill with Blowser on the beach and smoke. Dude's got stories.
..yesuknow, Bowser is an old school dogsname🐕
I see you’re right back to it! Love and respect my friend
Nice one bro! I like your humility with the Jamaica brother. Respect man.
Nice to see Sabba feelin Irie..
with the local people ✌
Jamaican is the coolest language.. it's as if you have to have a certain chill attitude to speak it.
Can't believe you are in Jamaica. One of your Jamaican youtube supporter here👍👍👍
“Talkin intelligentlee an sellin a lickle weed!” 😂 Big ups Bowser!!!
I thought that travelling around Africa through you was fun but Jamaica? Now this will be a trip. I am really excited to see you have a whole lot of fun, meet a whole lot of people and learn patois. Nuff respek.
Jamaica is really a lovely place...I would love to go there for a visit one day and have a taste of their rice and peas, and probably a taste of a good weed 😇
Man this was relaxing af
Didnt expect a new video for a while but this sure is a hella pleasant surprise, lets goo
Much respeck for the Tenor Saw reference at 25:18. Big up yuhself, Tommy.
Nice to see you back on the road Tommy meeting the real people of the world not the tourist traps but liked your vids with miss Joesy be nice to see u together again
good move! I had guessed Malta or Dominican Republic.....Jamaica makes sense after a long African journey....good place to be a fisherman selling ganja and living on the beach
Yes! From Africa to the Caribbean! Love it. I can’t wait to see what other Caribbean islands you go to.
Welcome to Jamaica 🇯🇲 bro,hoping to do a video with u when u get to Kingston
🤣🤣😂😂😂 I’m Jamaican and to me your certified bro 🤝🇯🇲 yehmon str888. One love bless up 💪
If your in st Elizabeth check out YS falls, Breadnut valley falls, or Lover's Leap in the south
It's amazing how much alike most Carribean countries like Jamaica look with Africa especially the small towns and the countryside.
Surprised Miss Josey didn't travel with you. LOL
Yea just doesn’t seem right without Miss Joesy!
What's so surprising? Uganda is far away and the plane ticket has to super expensive
You think it is easy to travel from Uganda (or anywhere in Africa) to all over the world?
@@BoskiM your right
@@mikewilliams9069 as long as you have money
All what the Blowser. Told you about his family is true.. His mother and my grandmother are sisters.. I have been watching your videos for about 9 months now! And never really comment on them, but do like them. And it so nice to see you in my hometown Treasure Beach. And chilling out with Blowser aka CornerMan. Watching from Norway 🇳🇴
loving the whole Jamaican vibe and the whole reggae vibe...looking forward to more of this videos Tommy. Good job 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sabbatical you’re so funny...Big up yuself 😊🇯🇲👍🏽👊🏽❤️
"oh someone died?"
"yeah"
"so it's like a funeral?"
White tee: "naww"
Everybody else: "yes"
lol its sorta a funeral but a party. most functions end up turning into some form of party at the end here in Jamaica
Funerals in Jamaica are also parties.
Jamaica I love you. My grandad lives in Coral Gardens Mo Bay. Like that old man my great grandad was 100% Scottish, my grandad half Scottish half black. I can trace my Scottish ancestors back to Rosehearty, Aberdeen Scotland. My clan is Forbes and the Forbes were fishing people from Scotland 🏴. Sadly, I don’t know the history of my African side before Jamaica 🇯🇲. Grandad, if you see this ‘I love you’. If anyone knows more about the Scottish and why they migrated to Jamaica, please leave me a comment.
Nice, looking forward to more. I know it will be captivating.
Hello Sabbatical.
Of all the Videos you have done I think Video #91 (Lagos Airport) is the greatest because it has jolted some bureaucrats from their slumber. At least FAAN took action.
It has also created a movement because some Nigerian TH-camrs have made videos about it.
Some Kenyans criticized you for your Mombasa video about bad cop good cop because they felt that you were painting the country negatively. But I can tell you as a Kenyan African that we are all proud of your work because all of us will be better off without corruption.
Now that you are in the Jah country (Yah Man!). Are you going to show us some pictures from my favorite Musician's Museum? (Bob Marley). Forever loving Jah!
“Hey baby, I like you” just give her the visa man😂
She too brite man lol 😆 😂
That was so cool that blowser opened up to you like that near the end of the video. Can't wait for more content!
Bacause of you, I will visit the very remote and deep parts of the Caribbean. Thank you
Yes bredda just a see ur video big up urself born raise here in Jamaica still living here.
Ohh, the sound of waves and serene places. Beauty!
I love this country I love you people of jah make you bless one from Senegal West Africa
Brother man I love your adventure... I'm living through you as I'm stuck in the meatgrinder that is america... I'm gonna free myself again for adventure one day again.. This life not for me. Your adapting and picking up of the languages and culture though are amazing and got the utmost respect for you. Keep on keeping on!!!
Btw I met a Rasta in Costa Rica,.. was my favorite person ever. We hung for 3 weeks straight, one of the best men I've ever known. Respect.
Bomboclate yah now,… respect @sabbatical de man a talk like a real jamaican yard man to rassclate (Jamaica Creole, Patois, Patwa, Patwah) Upfull blessed & one love 🇯🇲🇺🇸.
Me real excited to see Chet hanks making a travel blog here
i traveled to cuba ,mexico and jamaica has the most amazing food
I love Jamaica and the people. I didn't want to leave when I went 😕
Love your content and you bringing some East Coast with you wherever you go.
I love the accent! Oh man, you are amazing!
I thought I was pretty good in learning language (French native, English, Spanish and Portuguese), but you really beat me 🤣🧡
love that !! happy to follow you on a new journey brother !
Great, man! Looking forward to videos from Jamaica! I really hope you went to that party and filmed it for us ;) Take care, stay safe!
love it.. best TH-camr out there.. keep travelling and stay safe
I’ve learned so much about Jamaica in this vid. Completely immerse yourself my brother there’s nothing that’s not meant for you in your journey. Makes me want to go see blowser and get to know this man and see if I can be his neighbor
When I met my ex wife from Trinidad I asked her; what language do you speak? She looked at me like I was a crazy person and said English?
Lol
Try African wife next
@Genesis 1 lol I'm pretty sure my ignorance the day we met didnt play a role in our divorce over a decade later..
Its all good bro. Im Trini and I get that alot also. No problem for me to explain we speak English. Not everyone is going to know and its up to me and other Trinis to give them some friendly knowledge about Trinidad. 👍
@@nragoobar Trinidad is a beautiful country and the people are incredibly nice. I loved visiting, I was actually engaged on Tobago! I was a pretty ignorant teenager when I met her who wasn't very knowledgeable about many accents, but now it's incredibly easy for me, it grew on me after the years!
Wah Gwaan Sabbatical! Hope you enjoy my country!
After always being on edge watching you in Africa, it was a relief watching you in Jamaica.
Aren’t African countries safer though?
@@kaydenpat Probably per capita. I guess I was just going by youtube videos.
I love this series. I come back to watch Jamaica episodes a few times. The vibes and people are unbelievable. I hope you go back soon to show us more of Jamaica.
