I was a little weary of Montego as it seems such a popular all-inclusive spot. However, the city quickly grew on me. Montego was the perfect starting point for my trip to Jamaica. Its touristic infrastructure allows you to settle in quite quickly while downtown affords you glimpses into real Jamaican city life!

An easy Chapati recipe
Learn how to prepare this exotic basic with this easy ugali recipe!
The polenta-like side dish is popular across Sub-Saharan Africa. What’s known as ugali in Tanzania and Kenya is called nsima or nshima in Zambia and Malawi or just pap in South Africa.
Ugali is not a dish by itself. It usually accompanies dishes. Similar to Chapatis, ugali is a side dish and utensil in one.
To eat ugali, form a small ball with hands and slightly smush it with your fingers. Form an indentation and use it to scoop up meats and veggies.
Ugali might seem a little stretchy, but we promise you’ll grow to love the slight popcorn flavor! Its light flavor makes it the perfect side dish for any kind of meat, fish or veggies
Ingredients
- 2 cups of corn flour
- 3 cups of water
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
How to prepare Ugali
- Lightly roast flour in a dry pan
- Bring water to boil in a saucepan
- Add flour to the boiling water and start stirring with a flat wooden spoon mashing out any lumps
- Cook for about 10 minutes while continuously stirring
- Reduce the heat and cover for another 3-5 minutes
- Stir again for 2 minutes before forming a dome. Now the ugly should no longer stick to the spoon and have a tasty, mild aroma of roasted corn
- Cook till it has a firm texture
- Serve with veggies or meat of your choice!

Kingston, Jamaica – the place to be
The location of Jamaica’s capital is picturesque, nestled between the blue mountains and the Caribbean sea. While the city itself wouldn’t be considered a beauty by its looks, it is full of vibes, culture, and amazing people. While most travel guides don’t make Kingston sound like the most attractive destination, it will reward those who look and feel behind the obvious and are willing to give it some time.
Kingston’s best beaches
Before coming to Kingston, I didn’t expect any great beaches. During my first visit, I didn’t even attempt to hang out by the beaches as the city offered way too many things to do, and I also didn’t expect the beaches around Kingston to be so fun, beautiful, and full of vibes.
