Moved to Jamaica from Russia: New Blog (My Truth)

I moved to Jamaica alone — and everything changed. Here’s the honest story behind it and what this blog is all about.

Hey, it’s me, Kari Gall — and truly, I’m so happy you’re here. Welcome to my little corner of the internet 🌿

As a travel and lifestyle content creator with roots in Ukraine and an upbringing in Russia, I now call Kingston, Jamaica my home — building the life I’ve always envisioned.

Above all, I believe that our personal narratives hold the power to inspire change. That’s exactly why I created this blog: to share mine with you — openly, honestly, and with the hope that it sparks something within you too.

Yes, the beaches are beautiful — but they weren’t the reason I moved to the island. Rather, I was searching for something deeper — freedom, truth, joy, and alignment. My journey began with a simple dance trip (I had been dancing Dancehall for over 10 years), but it quickly turned into a full transformation of my life. Every step — the struggles, the magic, the moments of doubt — led me exactly to this point.

In 2023, I shifted my entire brand to speak to a global audience. I began sharing my content in English and now connect with over 47,000 people across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Still, numbers weren’t enough. However, I still needed a place to call home. A space beyond social media. A place where I could write longer, deeper, more honestly.
As a result, I created this blog — a space for women who crave freedom, truth, and something more.

Of course, this blog includes beaches and sunshine. However, more importantly, it’s about something deeper. More than anything, it’s about sharing real stories, building emotional resilience, and taking empowered steps toward the life you truly want.

So, here’s what you can expect to find here:

While most visitors stick to the usual sights, I’ll guide you from wild beaches and buzzing street parties to local food gems and honest tips — revealing a side of Jamaica few truly get to know. In addition, you’ll learn how to avoid common scams, stay safe on the island, and truly discover its hidden magic.

To begin with, I’ll share what shocked me, what inspired me, and what I’ve discovered about myself as a woman building a life far from home. These are the exact stories I once needed — the kind I searched for when I was starting over and didn’t know where to begin.

To illustrate, I’ll be sharing how I got started with boutique hotels, villas, and restaurants — and how I’m now growing into partnerships with tourism boards. It’s all about what actually works behind the scenes.

When it comes to social media, I’ll share what works for growing an authentic online presence, how to create content that connects, and how to show up with confidence.

For starters, I’ve been selling digital products for over 4 years — and I’ll teach you how to do the same. You’ll learn how to turn your knowledge into income, even if you’re just starting out.

Because no strategy works without inner alignment. Journaling, meditations, emotional resets — and reminders that you’re not alone.

There’s a part of you that knows — you’re meant for more.
Some journeys aren’t mapped out — they’re created step by step.
And the dream? It’s freedom, travel, and creating something that truly matters.
Then this space is for you.

I’m not here to sell you a perfect lifestyle — I’m here to show you the real one. With all its beauty, mistakes, lessons, and wins.

That’s exactly why I created this blog — for women like you — soul-led, ambitious, honest, and ready to create something beautiful. Above all, this is a space for your dreams, your voice, and your freedom. Whether you moved to Jamaica or another country, launching your brand, or simply looking for truth and inspiration… You’re in the right place.

Subscribe, come back often, and let’s stay connected.

With love from the island,
— Kari Gall
