InterNations — A Community for American Expats in Jamaica

Hello to all Americans in Jamaica! Are you interested in getting to know fellow expats in Jamaica? Looking for advice from other Americans, e.g. wondering if there are any bars in Jamaica which will be showing your favorite baseball or American football team’s upcoming match or where to go in town for stuffed turkey?

If you're wondering where and how you can meet other Americans in the city, InterNations is here to make this easier for you! You’re warmly invited to join the InterNations community. Within our international network in Jamaica, there’s a vibrant circle of American expats from all regions of USA, including New York City, Los Angeles, and beyond.

Expat fellows on InterNations helped us find a reliable nanny for our three kids. That was very important for us to feel comfortable here in Jamaica.

An amazing community is waiting for you!

Why Americans move abroad … (and do they like it?)

Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys for expats — Expat Insider — where we ask people living around the world about every aspect of expat life. We’ve rounded up key facts about the typical American expat: what motivated them to move to a new country, what they enjoy about life abroad, as well as what they struggle with the most.

Pursue your hobbies with amazing new friends

"The “Land of Wood and Water”, Jamaica can be a great place for expats, especially with the InterNations community helping you to make the most of your experience!

Do you want to continue with your hobbies — or discover new ones — while living in Jamaica? There’s a variety of InterNations Groups you can join, including everything from sightseeing to hiking. These are run by dedicated Consuls with at least one activity each month, such as dinners in Jamaica’s finest restaurants or outings with other expats to explore all that the island has to offer, from the historical site of Port Royal, once infamous as a haven for pirates, corsairs and buccaneers, to the Bob Marley Museum, once his home and recording studio, a must-see for all reggae fans, and much more."
