Why I Left America for Thailand | Jamaican Living Abroad 🇯🇲🇹🇭

What makes a Jamaican woman leave the U.S. behind and move her family across the world to Southeast Asia?

In this video, I’m sharing the real reasons why we chose Thailand—and why we didn’t look back.

🌍 The truth is… the American Dream wasn’t working for us.
Between the high cost of living, the burnout culture, and feeling like we were constantly on edge, we knew there had to be another way.

And we found it.

💛 Here’s what I’m talking about in this video:

Why distance from the U.S. was intentional

What Thailand offers compared to the U.S and Jamaica

Why the family-first culture changed everything for us

What surprised me about healthcare, community, and everyday life

And why, as a Jamaican mom, Thailand feels more like home.

I’m not saying everyone should leave the U.S.—but if you’ve ever felt like the system wasn’t built for your peace… this video is for you.

If you are new here, I am Shibivia; a full-time business owner and entrepreneur, my husband is a Licensed Mental Health Therapist. I walked away from my recent career as a Flight Attendant back in 2022 to pursue full-time entrepreneurship to have more time-freedom and peace of mind. I recently completed 6 years of military service in the United States Air Force Reserves. Shortly after leaving my Flight Attendant job in 2022, my husband and I took a month long sabbatical and traveled to Bali, Indonesia then Bangkok Thailand and simply fell in love. It was one of the most therapeutic experiences of my life. After visiting almost 30 countries, South East Asia definitely felt like home, and today - we get to call Thailand home.
