Kenyan content creator Shorn Arwa is treating her online fans to a sneak peek into her recent vacation in the vibrant land of Jamaica.
Through her Insta Stories, the mother of one shared her firsthand experiences of the Caribbean country.
The UK-based content creator dispelled the common misconception that Jamaican people often smoke a lot of weed noting that it’s not as pervasive as people expect.
“Jamaicans don’t smoke weed as much as it’s portrayed on the Internet.”
Shorn also noted the observations she made about content creation there highlighting the efforts involved including driving for hours to capture perfect shots and investing in top-of-the-line equipment.
She also noted that Jamaican content creators have a sense of unity among them.
“Jamaican content creators take their content creation very very very seriously, it’s literally a full-time job. We would drive for more than 2 hours just to create content, (more than 5 hours a day) They invest in very expensive and latest equipment just to create content.
” In Jamaica content creators are so united, they are so heavy on collaboration and building each other it’s almost unreal, yaani content creators are like one big family zero competition just love and hard work. Your camera goes off and another creator hands over their camera to you and says ‘I have all the time in Jamaica I can come back and get this shot, you have limited time so have my camera’,” she noted.
Shorn loves Jamaica
The bubbly content creator also expressed her awe at the country’s beauty and breathtaking beaches and landscapes.
She noted the cleanliness, well-maintained roads, and the abundance of fruit-bearing trees.
Shorn also highlighted Jamaica’s efficient immigration process, which includes self-check-in at the airport.
She mentioned that Kenyans can visit Jamaica visa-free, although transit visas may be required depending on the travel route.
“Don’t even get me started about the nature and magical views. The “ghettos “there are so clean, very good roads, friendly people and trees with fruits are planted almost everywhere.
“As soon as I got to the airport, it was self-check-in at the immigration, as in you don’t need any official at customs to stamp your passport, you do it digitally, plus it’s visa-free for Kenyans.
“The only problem is there is no direct flight so you have to go through (the UK, USA, or other countries) hence you need a transit visa. I’m a UK resident so it was rice and beans for me,” the content creator said.
The mother of one confessed her fondness for Jamaica, proclaiming it as her favourite destination among those she has visited.
“Out of all the countries I have visited, I loved Jamaica the most,” she declared.
