My Travel Story

by: Jeanette Karcher Start Date: Apr 14, 2024 - End Date: Aug 13, 2024
Greetings and Blessings beautiful people!  I have been traveling to the island of Jamaica for the past 25 years and hold this place close to my heart for many reasons. My love of reggae music got me first visiting on a regular to pursue my singing. Throughhout the years I have realized that I am happiest and healthiest 
when I am here. In the past few 5 years I have developed osteoarthritis in both hands and  lower lumbar, casuing me great discomfort. Osteoarthritis is  degenerative which means it willl not go away but only continue to grow bone on bone. I have been on physical therapy, occupational therapy amd acupuncture plus ever researching natural ways tp keep inflammation away. I notice a great deal of change when I am in the Tropical weather, I have less pain and miraculosuly the bone on bone growth ceases. The vitamin D and endless resources to natural fruits and herbs are extremely helpful. I am a 52 year young woman who has been doing rideshare driving for 7 years now which takes a toll on the body and progresses my exisitng arthritis. I'm hoping to relocate and start a small business with my freelance interior decor/home accessories, providing to air bnb owners on the island. I will be sacrificng a pay cut but will be able to live a healthier lifestyle which is more meaninful to me in the next years to come.I will be able to travel the island to gather herbs, fruits, bitters and tonics to help myself and help others who also suffer from autoimmune diseases. There is a large community of yoga instructors, herbalists and clean cooking chefs I can engage in and learn form on a daily basis.
