Travelling & Teaching in Cali, Colombia





 In 2013, I had the opportunity to teach English at a University in Cali, Colombia. Cali, Colombia is known as the city of Salsa. Jamaicans love Salsa. I had a blast learning Salsa Choke and learning the various dance moves.


This was my first time travelling and the experience was really exciting. It is an experience  that I will never forget. 


I realized that Colombians and Jamaicans have a lot in common. We share the love for sports especially Track & Field and Football, we love to socialize and meet new people, our personalities are warm and friendly, we have a good taste in fashion and most of all we love great tasting food. 

Learning a second language created the opportunities for me to travel and teach and to appreciate another culture. It also allowed me to maintain a lifelong friendship with great people. 


If you would like to meet and interact with Colombians and practice your Spanish, then you can check out this group I created known as  Los Caleños y Los Jamaicanos. It was created to stimulate interest in both the Spanish & English Language.



You can also check out my book on Amazon to learn more about my awesome experience: Adventures in Cali, Colombia.

The Roller Coaster Ride of Breastfeeding | Breastfeeding Journey| How to stop breastfeeding

  There are a lot of mothers out there that would love to breastfeed their child. Breastfeeding is really a roller coaster ride. No one prepares you for it and shows you how to stop doing it. I am going to be sharing a little about my breastfeeding journey and how I eventually stopped breastfeeding. GOT MILK? When I gave birth to my daughter in 2017, no one prepared me for the journey that I would endure. My milk ducts were totally dried up and the nurses were telling me that I MUST breastfeed my daughter. However, after showing them all of my attempts to extract milk, they finally gave in and offered to give her some formula . I thought they would make her starve to death due to their strict breast feeding policy. I was finally able to breastfeed after 5 days. My flow of milk was also very slow and I had no choice but to supplement breastfeeding with formula. She was constantly crying after she was breastfed and I knew she was still hungry. When I left the hospital, the nurses had...
