i went to medical school there in 2010. its a different way of life but you do not feel so much like your life is being wasted. you get to just enjoy the little things. less distractions. since i lived there for 2 years i lived a true island life. if you go for vacation you are spending money on things and dont get a true feel. going to the grocery stores, riding the taxis are all lost when you rent a car and have stacks of money in your pocket.

SKB has really changed since my days there from 2000-2008. In my day, Hyatt Park was literally just a sketch drawing and Turtle Beach was a great restaurant and bar and about the only p[lace you could go on the peninsula. Shiggidy Shack was the local hang out along with Shipwreck. Cockleshell was just a nice beach with a single little 'rum shack'. Black Rocks was just a place to pull over and see the lava rocks. The primary reason I moved there was that it had barely been bitten by tourism. Those days are long gone! Listening to your pronunciation of places was worth the price of admission for me. It's great to see SKB through the eyes of first time visitors. As always, thanks for sharing your adventure!

Oh man I can only imagine! It's always a bit of a bummer when natural spots are monetized like Black Rocks but I get it, a way to generate income for locals and help the economy. Seems like these days if you want untouched places you need to go very very cold haha.

I am so happy you got to experience true St. Kitts by driving around the island... driving there makes you feel every emotion (beautiful landscapes, funny moments, confusion, being scared for your life at least once every time you sit behind the wheel, and much more! 😆) I loved my time living in SKN!

when we went yrs ago, we did the entire island on scooters stopping many times and having refreshments at all the little bars along the way.....I had never seen so many "bars" along the way.... I really enjoyed exploring the country side.....we also went to Raggerty Beach Bar for the lobster fest which was delicious...

I had to follow along as I used to live in St Kitts. I always made sure my fridge was stocked up with Ting, it went well with my vodka. Back when I lived there, the cruise ship port was pretty quiet, not a lot of ships would visit, obviously things have changed. I also used to work on Cruise ships, specifically Princess Cruises. Good times!! So good to see Shipwrecks is still there, and that lookout is somewhere I used to jog up to, back before bus tour groups discovered it!

A cruise ship vacation?... nope... they remind us of those GEICO commercials... "Do Not Grow Up and Turn Into Your Parents"!... lol... maybe Alaska? Your trip concept was terrific... rent a car and explore the entire island... but, we felt you never quite found that "WOW" moment? You guys are a fun couple and like us could have a great time anywhere... that is what makes the vlogs so good to watch! -later...

Haha Taylor didn’t give it a try driving on left side of the road. I’d be open to a cruise to alaska as well but definitely not too excited for a carribean one I thunk they’re a bit too touristy for us. That’s right Leo, we didn’t really find a Wow moment in the island unfortunately. However I heard the hike is incredible if the clouds aren’t hovering the peak, which I’m not sure how frequent that is! Thanks for watching!
