About Us

“Walkbout” is a term indigenous to Jamaicans that describes the wanderlust of bold, inquisitive adventurers.

Jamaicans are known for traveling extensively and it is said, you can find a Jamaican in the most remote parts of the world.
It was against this background that Walkbout.com was conceptualized and masterminded by Jamaican Aldo Antonio in 2008.

Walkbout International and walkbout.com was incorporated and launched with the ultimate goal to create a global community of adventurers or “Walkbouts” who share a common yearning for exploration of the inner workings of global locations.
