Changing your life and relocating to the tropics at the age of 35 typically requires a significant catalyst. This can take the form of a heart-wrenching breakup, a deep existential crisis, exhaustion from the relentless rat race, or simply the realization that life is slipping away, and it's time for a grand adventure. In my case, it was all of the above.After experiencing love for the very first time and enduring the pain of deception, every aspect of my existence came under scrutiny. I hailed from the east end of London, where I had trained as a hairstylist and eventually established my own salon on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood.When you've been deceived by someone you love, it changes the way you perceive the world, especially when your profession involves making women look and feel beautiful. As a hairstylist, when a woman described how she wanted her hair done I had to stop myself saying I don't believe you. That realization led me to a pivotal decision: it was time to sell everything and embark on a new journey in Jamaica.⁸What awaited me turned out to be the most extraordinary chapter of my life. Much like a captivating novel, it was replete with humour, danger, romance, and breathtaking beauty. Beneath it all lay a profound message-when we commit ourselves to something and take risks, even the divine takes notice."
