Adventures from Elle is the brainchild of Rochelle Knight and began as a blog about how to experience Jamaica like a local on a budget, written by a local on a budget. Hit with the wanderlust bug in my early twenties, exploring Jamaica through inexpensive day-trips was my trade-off for not being able to afford overseas travel during medical school and quickly became my favourite hobby. It all started with my first trip in December 2016 to an off-the-beaten-path waterfall in my parish, accomplished with two JUTC buses and a taxi. This led to an epiphany that lack of money, or even a car, isn’t a valid obstacle to travelling and enjoying new experiences. The rest is history.
Adventures from Elle tells the stories of the places I visit, unabashedly shares my perspective of my beautiful island Jamaica and will hopefully entertain or help you discover your own adventures. I tend to frequent off-the-beaten-path waterfalls, museums and parks, but my interests are wide so you’ll find just about any interesting place on here. If it has water, art, mountains, trees, or even some interesting history behind it, I’m there!
Let’s not make this another travel blog as Adventures from Elle isn’t meant for vicariousness. I rather inspire your own adventures! If you’re living in or visiting Jamaica, I hope you’ll browse and find somewhere new to explore. If not, use this blog to learn more about a country for which I’m most passionate, or use it as inspiration to ford your own streams. Travel blogging or travelling for that matter doesn’t have to be in far and distant lands, even though I plan to visit those lands someday and you should too, if you can. However, it can also be about visiting a new parish or state, a new restaurant, a new corner of the park or even just strolling around the town in which you live that you think you know so well. You may be surprised that there are still interesting places you pass each day on your commute that you’ve never visited. Watch me explore my island home, the Caribbean then the entire world! 🌐
“Travel makes one modest, you see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.”
~ Gustave Flaubert
If you’d like to experience the best of Jamaica, you’re at the right place. Purchase my book ‘SIGHTSEE JAMAICA’ on Amazon which has a checklist of all the places in Jamaica worth visiting by parish, and MORE! It’s available in both paperback and eBook. Also, explore my blog for ideas or choose one of my favourite places to get started. If you’d like to work with me, let’s talk here. Walk good! 🇯🇲

This is making me want to explore Jamaica! I’ve been to the Dominican Republic but not Jamaica. I may have to add Jamaica to the list methinks. I’m looking forward to exploring your blog more.

Beautiful blog site. We are planning a short cruise out of Galveston this summer with a stop in Jamaica. We are seniors, so a little shopping and sight seeing is our speed – although I’d give a little snorkeling a try again. We both love the water and have heard so much good about your country. The Museum is interesting too.

That’s so lovely to hear! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I hope you’ll find something useful on it for your trip to Jamaica. Our north coast will suit you best if you’re into nature and ecotourism. This can be had in Portland, in and around its capital of Port Antonio. Depending on how long your trip is, you can also check out Ocho Rios and select parts of Kingston. However, many people enter Jamaica through the Sangster’s International Airport which is in Montego Bay and opt to stay there since it’s close to the airport. If you choose that option, I know you’ll have a great time too. Best wishes and happy travels! 🙂

Love what you’ve done in this blog. I’ve been away from my birth land for 40+ years and it’s good to see it again – sans touristy beach & reggae commercials.
