Jamaica!
- Weather- Mild/ warm
- Point of interest- Bob Marley Museum
- Language- Patois
- History- Little is known about the island’s early history, except that there are many traces of Arawak habitation, and that Arawaks, agriculturists who made good-quality textiles and pottery, were living there when Christopher Columbus landed on 14 May 1494, on his second American voyage of exploration. He named the island Santiago (Saint-James). However, the name was never adopted and it kept its Arawak name Xaymaca, of which ‘Jamaica’ is a corruption. Lacking gold, Jamaica was used mainly as a staging post in the scramble for the wealth of the Americas.

Iceland
- Weather- Cold
- History- It’s hard to fathom that an island formed 20 million years ago could be considered ‘young,’ but compared to the rest of the world, Iceland is just that.
The entire island is a product of a series of eruptions of underwater volcanoes that took place before the dawn of civilization.
Although nobody knows when the first humans arrived on Icelandic soil, we do know that it was one of the last islands on Earth to be inhabited.
Culture- Located in the middle of the North Atlantic, Iceland was settled by emigrants fromScandinavia and the British Isles in the tenth century. Due to Iceland's geographical location, it was mostly outside the influence of contemporary culture in Europe and America, until the late nineteenth century.
