I am fun loving and easy going. I enjoy travelling and experiencing other cultures. I love the lively and vibrant atmosphere in ocho Rios. I enjoy hosting and helping my guests to have a wonderful and memorable experience
The neighbourhood of Ocho Rios is vibrant with great entertainment and good places to eat. Cruise ships regularly stop over for tourists to enjoy the beautiful views and to enjoy some duty free shopping. There is easy access to tourist attractions such as the Dunns River falls, where cold mountain water cascades 1,000 feet down naturally terraced steps. There are plenty of swimming, sunbathing and sightseeing opportunities at the falls, many visitors make it a goal to climb the 600 foot terraced falls. You can do so independently or with a water fall guide. Dolphin Cove is near by where you have the opportunity to interact and swim with the dolphin in their natural environment. You can also swim, hold, feed and learn about the evolutionary secrets of the Caribbean sharks. Dolphin Cove is full of natural wanders and beauty, as you stroll around in the jungle trail you will notice many different plants, trees, wild animals, exotic birds, snakes and iguanas. you can also relax on the glistering white sandy beaches and soak up the sun. Mystic Mountain is not far away, a true rain forest adventure where you can bobsled off the side of the hill or zip lining through the forest.
