About Paris Permenter & John Bigley

We're Paris Permenter and John Bigley, a husband-wife team of travel writers specializing in Jamaica.

Since the early 90s, we've been authoring guidebooks to Jamaica including:

  • Adventure Guide to Jamaica
  • Jamaica Alive!
  • A Taste of Jamaica
  • Caribbean with Kids
  • Caribbean for Lovers
  • Romantic Guide to the Caribbean
  • Fodor's Pocket Guide to Jamaica
  • the Jamaica chapter of Fodor's Caribbean annual gold guide

We've traveled Jamaica from coast to coast, writing about the top resorts and discovering hidden, out of the way getaways. Through the years, we've made over 50 trips to the island.

We are both members of the Society of American Travel Writers (SATW).
