Tour dates: July 25 – August 9, 2016
✈ 14-Day People-to-People Jamaica Cultural Immersion Tour with Air from Global Ase. Price per Person Based on Double Occupancy.
Greetings friends!
Welcome to our Jamaica 2016 tour! In 2014, I decided to pack up and make Jamaica a home base. Since my move home, I have been able to experience the wonderful tropical environment but more than that what has been as powerful for me has been the rich heritage and strength of the people. The home of my Ancestors, the Archers who hail from St. Elizabeth near Maggotty and the Sweeneys who are strongly rooted in the hills of Clarendon in Beckford Kraal.
I am thrilled to welcome you as one of our family members traveling to Yaad this July 2016. We will visit lush green landscapes, cascading waterfalls, beautiful farms, hidden cultural gems, arts havens, and reggae sites, scholarly repositories, culinary treats and civic, social, educational and activist movements.
I invite you on a tour that will be unforgettable. Whether you are Jamaican, Caribbean or a visitor to the region for the first time, we welcome you home!
