Better is subjective. Happiness is my better regardless of where I live. However, I am grateful to be born a Jamaican who get to live in the 🇺🇸 for over 20 years & have access to material things just like that, so that I can compare life in 🇺🇸 & 🇯🇲. Nonetheless, I prefer Jamaica because my spouse lives in 🇯🇲 & I enjoy my natural culture & foods. Essentially, as I get older & much more wiser, I realize that happiness is more meaningful to me than material acquisition & life’s stressors such as loans or debts…

After 10 years in the U.S., I was over the racism, mass shootings, high cost of living, and debt. I moved to Kenya in August, and the peace of mind and happiness are invaluable. I have no more car payments or insurance payment, and my Airbnb is half of what I used to pay for rent. I did a lot of planning before returning to Kenya after my first visit last year. I worked my ass off and paid off my debt in the U.S. Now, I enjoy fresh, natural (weh America call organic) food, low transportation costs (Uber and Bolt), conveniences (Uber Eats, Glovo, Bolt), and developed infrastructure. I won't say Kenya doesn't have crime, but you don't have to worry about gun crime. As a Jamaican, I would have chosen to return to Jamaica, but it's just as expensive as living in the U.S.

I've never wanted to live in America, really doesn't excite me. Cannot say I like the place. On the other hand I understand why it's appealing to many. Most outsiders' idea of America is a sanitised version seen through the eyes of Hollywood. For balance it would be a great idea Rochilin to do a comparative study between Jamaica and some of America's "third world"states and cities where time has stood still. I think it would be very educational 😂🇯🇲

The big plus of being in a first world country is the job opportunities...you can make money doing almost anything and the currency is stronger...also there are convenience in alot of things as well. But being in Jamaica is also a blessing especially when it comes to health care....which is much cheaper. You get better food in Jamaica as well and the weather is better depending on the state you're in. Also America has many issues that's mind boggling as a developed country like the high rate of homelessness and education...education in the caribbean is far more advanced. What we study in Grade 7 for example they start that in grade 9 in the States and the same thing here in the UK. Our kids could excel far more than the kids in these countries.

I fully agree and support the differences between Jamaica & North America. My experience being in North America has been alarming how in some sectors they still function like a big third world country. Example to name a few, is how the government treat teachers, medical professionals and homelessness. North America is more skilled in hiding inadequacies and and malfunctions.

I listened to your comparison between US and Jamaica regarding pot holes, know that the world over have to contend with them, and lately with every bad thing that is going on around the world, some countries have not got sufficient funds to fix potholes, I myself have to contend with them for months in far more developed country than JA. US and Europe have much more money to spend, but as you know now the money is going in the war kitty. JA try their best but we all know better needs to be done. At least JA don't have a whole town of homeless on the streets. Be blessed.

Hey Roch! Been watching your content for a while now, I live in the US. In fact I binged and loved your container home series. The sky’s the limit for you, the adjustment phase was difficult for me as well. My dreams and goals of being a KZfaq content creator slowly went to the back burner and I fell into the corporate abyss. At this point I have terabytes of footage of my journey over the years, vlogs back to Jamaica, marrying my 9th grade crush, filing for her, losing my job, losing my grandmother, pregnancy, home buying and the list goes on. But I never post and at this point I’m convinced these videos will never see light. Your videos give me hope that I can buckle up and take this dream serious. Thank you 🙏🏾

You did a great job on the comparisons between Jamaica and the USA. It was thoroughly researched and spot on. You are one of the better vloggers on Utube. Keep it going 👍 As for the roadways in America, I live in So Flo and the roads are constantly been worked on. In some neighborhoods the work might take a couple years but in the end it's wonderful. As for the many self check outs in the supetmarkets and other stores it is very common as Americans love moving fast so this is helpful to a lot of people. Jamaica do not need to follow this trend as the peolpe need the job as cashiers and for some it is viable means of employment. I miss your vlogs of Jamaica but life goes on.

While visiting and driving in the USA I found myself doing the same thing mentally telling myself stay right I did fairly good until I turned off the main highway onto the left lane and met a line of cars facing me people said no your on the wrong lane and directed me to the right right lane everyone was kind to wait for me to correct myself.

Rochelin, I love your videos, they are always informative and fun to watch but please, to compare the roads or infrastructure in Jamaica with America is doing Jamaica an injustice. That was not fair to Jamaica. No need to air Jamaica ‘s dirty laundry for the world to see and to show videos of it makes it even worse. As we all know, Jamaica is a small, poor country when compared to America, and does not have the resources to quickly fix the roads every time they fall in disrepair. Severe rainfalls due to climate change is the main reason for flooding that result in the destruction of the roads. As you rightfully stated, the Government is focusing on building new highways which is well needed for Jamaica’s growth and development, and the budget is limited and cannot cover everything. The GDP is small, and the little money has to spread across various areas of government such as education and healthcare, etc. so the government has to prioritize its spending. I need not get into details here, I just want to say, please do not focus on the negatives of Jamaica in your videos. Jamaica has had enough reputational damage to deal with due to biased negative media. Every country has similar issues to different extent, even the great America. Jamaicans do the most damage to Jamaica’s reputation. The negative videos that they constantly circulate on social media are appalling to say the least. They make it seem as if Jamaica is the only country where negative things happen. I have not seen this from people of other nationalities. No matter how bad their country is they are presenting the best to the world.

Omg!!for the driving , living in Jamaica I never drive before, but migrated to America, now driving is very essential, so I am now getting driving lessons , still thinking about the left hand driving 😊 but now getting steady with right hand driving .

I'm from the states I and traveled to Bermuda (British rule) and I was the same way as you... my mantra was "stay to the left, stay to the left" as I was driving. Traffic circles were the WORST, so hard to navigate on the opposite side of the road.

You still need to stop before turning right, consider the red light a stop sign.

I grew up in Massachusetts and you cannot turn on the right, but when I moved to Florida a few years ago you could turn unless they had a no-turn sign, they also used to have pump attendance years ago, but they took the jobs away from those people. Most of these self-serve machines are so that they can employ fewer persons while putting more money in their pockets, that is why so many people are unemployed in the US. In Jamaica, we don't need that because that takes food out of a family's mouth, leaving them to beg and do things that they don't need to do just to feed their children.

I am somewhat sorry you are not in Jamaica anymore to do those Jamaican videos but you have to do what's best for you. Rochielin you will find huge differences too between the northern states and the southernn states when you are comparing the USA with Jamaica. The state you live in is somewhat the border state of the two regions it's really more Virginia though, but still close. Be mindful of these big differences when you compare USA with Jamaica, some areas of the USA are like third world countries especially down south states like Alabama and Mississippi.

I’m in Toronto and we can turn right on a red light unless there is signage not to do so which is only on very busy intersections. We can turn on red as long the pedestrian is on the other side of the median and there are no cars travelling across the green light, once it’s clear you can go.

They have already started major road repairs in Jamaica which I understand is to last over two years.

I have visited Jamaica 3 times. I love vacations there. The people are friendly but blunt. I love that so much. A beautiful warm paradise. I live in Oregon, and for the most part we can turn right on red. We also have gas station attendants, though lately most gas stations are understaffed, so local legislators passed a law allowing limited self service.

Hi Roch, watched a couple of your videos before you left JA. Love that video about the trains in JA, learnt a lot. 😍 I live in UK, about the self serving check-outs, I like them because they give me that freedom to scan the item and I can easily decide not to buy it if the price is too high because the correct prices are not always displayed. 😉 Also I can easily check my total sum if I want to keep in budget. However, when they first came, they were always breaking down, or just stuck and customers have to wait on the cashier to come and assist. I also left my £10 change in them a couple of times.😪 I’m surprised these checkouts are not yet in JA. They are usually quick to instal technical-advanced items. But I wouldn’t rush it because from MY experience this advancement still needs much improvement. In the UK they still give trouble, customers waste a lot of time waiting for the cashier to come and get them going again after they are stuck. Nevertheless, Jamaica is NOT a third world country, we should eradicate that term. It is used by the Big countries to impose superiority over small nations with less money and naturally in certain areas less advancements. Just to remind you not so long ago China was called a 2nd world country but China is now financing USA debt. 🥹🌏 Many years ago When the term ‘came in’ I heard a speech by a word leader who remind us that - God made one world. There is no ‘third’ world. ❤🌍❤

I’m located in NJ, few potholes, and if one should pop up it’s repair quickly. We are spoiled too, most of us don’t know how to pump gas. We’re blessed.❤❤❤
