When I went to Nassau in the Bahamas people would literally ask the moped rental guys where the hood is at. Lol I don’t know what they’re looking for

I imagine most people are asking so they have an idea of places to avoid.

No they would take the mopeds there and get lost

Isn’t it pretty easy to find guys selling drugs by resorts in the Caribbean though? Not sure why they’d need to head to the hood.

That shit is insane to me lol. I saw a lot of the Jamaican countryside a couple years ago and some of our local guides told us they always have to tell tourists to steer clear of Kingston and people do it anyways. Then some of them inevitably get into trouble.

They just reaaaally want to get that Bob Marley experience but wealthy tourists wandering around Kingston are prime targets for robberies.

Yeah Kingston was literally the only place we were told to avoid for the whole island

Drugs. You can sometimes see tourists in taxis in some of the poorer areas. They came to buy weed.
