Help me convince my dad I am fine to travel alone

[Chaos6403]

I remember couple years ago i was kinda in the same boat.I was about 22/23 and parents didnt like the idea of me being in negril myself even though i still was an adult and it would be my first time.I had to prove to them that everything was cool and gonna be alright.Soo we got invited by a family friend to come to ochi for a wedding.I already had negril on my mind so no matter what i was gonna get there plus my friend from philly (jahfreedom)already was living there .My parents were living in florida and im in new york so we came on two different flights to the island.My flight came first and my ride to negril was waiting there for me (big up Ras Noble).As soon as i bought a digicel chip i gave them my jamaican number and told them im in negril and okay wasnt nothing they can really do at that point.I still made it to ochi for the wedding which was the following weekend.From that point on been going to ja by myself. I'm not saying to go against your dad wishes or anything.If you do go be safe and have fun

1 more thing if it doesnt have a redplate don't go in it

Jamaicalove,

You seem to have a good head on your shoulders and hats off to your Dad for raising you well and caring about you so much. He must understand that in today's world rape and murder happen everyday in everyplace one needs not to travel to Negril. None of my business about your lifestyle but surely you will meet other like minded travelers as yourself to hang out with for strength in numbers. As everybody has advised Negril like anywhere else can turn from paradise to hell if one loses their common sense and does something really dumb but most everyone has had positive experiences there and you should not (or your father) dwell on possible negativity or project bad things to happen. Trust your fellow man / woman and have a great trip!!
