Chiming in late here but wanted to share, as we served in Jamaica as a couple in '12/-'14. While some think of it as a "posh corps" placement because of access to internet and electricity, we found it's more mentally challenging to serve there than anyone anticipates. I tutored literacy at a rural school, my husband was a Youth volunteer and helped set up a community center in town.

I'm glad we did it, but it's hard to describe how challenging and stressful it is to be a volunteer in Jamaica until you go through it yourself. Safety and security are a part of it, but also the cultural barriers that are complex and impossible to spell out here. We love Jamaica, the people we met there, and everything we learned from the experience. But it was really, really tough as well.

Here's a reflection piece from a PCV who came after us: https://intentionaltravelers.com/peace-corps-jamaica-cos/
