Want to find out how to plan a budget friendly family road trip around Jamaica?
Our last chat with Natty was so popular she has kindly agreed to come back and share her tips for planning a road trip in Jamaica.
Laidback vibe, beautiful beaches, sunshine and a few cocktails :)
We'll be covering Natty's budget for the trip, ease of getting around by car, safety, accommodation and tips on booking, and the highlights of the trip.
If you can't make it, pop your name in the comments, and I'll link you to the recording.

A new country called home
A NEW COUNTRY CALLED HOME
Have you ever considered finding a new country to call home?
Kate, her husband, and her son left Sydney, Australia, in 2017 to travel the round-the-world.
Kate opted for a slower travel style, living in Seville, Spain, for 3-months, where her son attended school.
In fact, they loved Spain so much they still haven't made it back to Australia, setting up home in Mallorca, in a small little mountainside village that stole their hearts.
They decided to change their lives completely, selling their business and properties in Australia, committing to living on the island permanently.
Kate and her husband purchased 20 acres of mountainside land and 500 olive trees. They now spend their time working on their land and have a farm-wide permaculture strategy in progress and a house renovation, and they couldn’t be happier.
If you're sick of the 9-5 grind and have been contemplating a new life elsewhere, come and join us.
A CHAT WITH STUART MCDONALD, CO-FOUNDER OF TRAVELFISH
TRAVELFISH | STUART MCDONALD
Did you watch my chat with the lovely Stuart McDonald, Co-Founder of Travelfish?
If you missed it, watch it here.
If you're not familiar with Travelfish, prepare to fall in love with the ultimate guide to South East Asia. It's an incredible planning resource for the independent traveller and includes comprehensive itineraries, accommodation and eatery recommendations.
Take a look here:
www.travelfish.org
Travelfish uncovers destinations missed by the popular travel guides - perfect for families in the Our Tribe Travels community. But the main thing I love is their ethos. EVERY homestay, eatery, or attraction is visited in person, AND Stuart and his team NEVER accept free accommodation, discounts or gifts. Every recommendation is shared from their unannounced visits, meaning it's an accurate representation of what the reader can expect to find.
These are the places that Stuart recommends for families in our chat.

Yesterday was Valentines' Day, and we are sharing the love, AND IT'S BIG! ❤
2020 is behind us, but 2021 is still a challenging year for many of us.
We wanted to add a few rays of sunshine into the mix to give something back to our lovely members.
So if you are sick of the sight of your four walls and need something to look forward to, then you are in the right place.
We are offering families the opportunity to home swap for £5! Yes, you did read that correctly. £5.
Not only that, but the £5 offer is valid for holidays taken until February 18th, 2022. We hope that as many families as possible can enjoy a change of scenery and have a much-needed break exploring another part of their country (or the world, depending on travel restrictions).
What do I need to do to bank my £5 family home swap?
-Register for FREE on our Family Home Swaps website
www.familyhomeswaps.com
-Successfully add two parents to the family home swaps F.B. group.
-Email '[email protected] with 'LOVE' in the title and tell us the name you registered under and the names of the two friends that you added to the F.B. group.
We will automatically add a code to your account to book a home swap for £5. ❤ (valid for holidays until Feb 18th, 2022)
P.S. We'd love you to add your profile and home listing ASAP, but there's no rush as we'll allocate your voucher on the sign-up alone.
In turn, we are grateful to you for inviting your friends (who are also eligible for the £5 offer if they follow the same process). The more families who join us, the more opportunities there will be for all of us.
Thank you for being on this journey with us. We are excited about what the future brings. 🙏
For members who bagged one of our 2020 discounts, they are still safe and redeemable for family home swaps until the end of 2022. We have recently upgraded our operating system to assign all discounts/deals to your family home swap account.
