Expert Profile: Dale Wade

Expertise:  I can answer any questions about moving and living in Kingston Jamaica. We have lived here for three years and my Husband is Jamaican. I cannot answer in detail about Montegobay, Negril or Ocho Rios, but can try. I am extremely good about explaining cultural differences and have an informational blog site I prefer not to push tourist type information, but can stare a person to resources needed or make recomendations when needed.

Experience in the area
I have spent the last 15 months volunteering with various on-line mentoring groups that provide information for Expats moving to the Carribean region. I was born in Trinidad West Indies, and grew up in North America before moving back to the Carri bean to live after 30 plus years. I am what people in the Carri bean refer to as Caricom woman, as I know the islands extremely well. I have also spent the last year and a half becoming one of Jamaica's Transition Specialist. I have also been working with many Executives and their wifes/ families to settle into Jamaica. My husband and I have also recently launched two e-books about Moving to Jamaica.

Organizations
International Proxy Parents, Jamdammers running club, Cutters Cycling club, and the Women's Crisis Center

Publications
Recently 10 1/2 Mistakes People Make when moving to Jamaica, and My move to Jamaica

Education/Credentials
I hold an Undergraduate degree in International Relations with an concentration in Latin American and Carri bean studies and a Graduate degree in Higher Education/Counseling.
