I didn't have the most extravagant upbringing however it was far from poverty.
I had extremely kind grandparents and my grandmother is still so so kind and generous and i wouldn't be where i am today without her generosity or help.
This summer im lucky enough to be spending 2 weeks in Jamaica just minutes away from my dads family home.
He died 3 years ago and i was never able to visit his native country with him nor see 'cottage' which is what the family call the house they help to build and maintain every year. Its far from a cottage and is more like a massive house!
This is only happening because my mother saved a large amount of money for me and i have decided to use this to fund this holiday. Its made extra special by a lot of family from my dads side also coming to Jamaica and staying near or with us during the same time.

However, before this i will be spending 3 weeks in Canada with my brother, sister, nieces and nephews. I havent met my neices who are 3 and nearly 1 which makes this a special trip also. This is being funded through saving my student loan, a generous donation from my Gran and a reduction on flights from my cousin.
This summer is going to be truely one to remember and i am so blessed and lucky to be doing all of this.
