I've been to 40 countries (Jamaica being my 40th) and today was the first day that I have been genuinely scared while exploring.

I went to Trenchtown, but soon found it was not safe AT ALL. There were men following me, needles and used condoms in the street, a man stopped his car while I was waiting for a taxi and approached me. It was in an area with cemeteries and a prison 🫣. Half naked people in the street, feces and urine everywhere... it was awful. It was also clearly a dumping ground for garbage.

I wanted to go because Bob Marley wrote No Woman No Cry in Trenchtown and he signed over the rights to the song to a friend of his to keep a soup kitchen running for battered women in the area. My research showed there was supposed to be a Culture museum and a dedication to Marley, and I wanted to see it; I'm a fan.

Please be careful
