VIDEO: Adventures In St Kitts

This video of St Kitts will make you want to jet off on the next plane.

I visited the Caribbean island earlier this year for a week of fun-fuelled travels. From zip-lining through the rainforest, kayaking and swimming with turtles, to exploring old plantations, forts and checking out the top-notch foodie scene… WOW there was PLENTY to enjoy!

Oh, and then the small matter of the endless rum punch on the island! Well it’d be rude not to try it…

For a flavour of my week, check out my video of St Kitts. If you enjoy it, please like, comment and share!

Oh and for the best viewing experience, be sure to shake up a rum punch to enjoy with it…

3 Amazing Ways To Meet Solo Travellers When You’re Away

Wondering how to meet solo travellers when you’re away? You’ll never get lonely with my tried and tested ways to meet people while exploring the world!

I’m a huge fan of jetting off on holiday with my best friends, but there are certain times when the travel experience is heightened by travelling solo. When you only have yourself to think about, you can create a trip that’s totally suited to you.

Plus, without anyone to hide behind, you tend to make more friends, take a leap out of your comfort zone, and relish the adventure! Hey, I never would have gone volcano boarding in Nicaragua or hang-glided in Rio if I had some of my scaredy-cat friends there to chicken out with!

It’s fair to say solo travel has a bit of a stigma. Not only is it a daunting prospect for the one doing it… it’s also the kind of thing your mum will have a big opinion about! Will you be safe? What crazy things are you planning to do? And after days of fun… what happens when you get lonely?

St Kitts is a great island for foodies. While you might expect fresh seafood and a good helping of jerk seasoning, there’s more to this Caribbean island’s cuisine.

Pop to Basseterre and enjoy coffee and cake in the city’s gallery, or take a drive up to Belle Mont Farm and enjoy a gourmet lunch with an epic view of towering volcano Mount Liamuiga. For something totally different, enjoy vegan and homegrown delights at the island’s legendary food truck Ital Creations.

So whether you fancy jerk chicken BBQ’ed on the street, or lobster at a fine-dining restaurant, there’s somewhere to suit every palate and budget. Continue reading to find out the best places to eat in St Kitts…

Belle Mont Farm

Ok, I’m starting with the most expensive… just because I couldn’t keep it to myself any longer. The magical Belle Mont Farm is located in Kittitian Hill – a 400 acre estate of organic tropical farmland which is home to hotels, villas and one of the world’s top edible golf courses. Yes, you can eat as you swing.

Yes, it’s true. After a week in St Martin in March, I returned to one of my favourite parts of the world – the Caribbean, for another week of adventures. This time I flew to neighbouring island St Kitts. Firstly – despite being just a short hop from one another, you couldn’t get two more different islands. Secondly – what a gem of a place St Kitts is!

I knew very little about the island before visiting. I wanted to keep it that way in order to soak up the atmosphere, understand the people, take in the culture and as always, make my own adventures.

So what is St Kitts like?

St Kitts is beautifully untouched. People say “quick, go to Cuba before it’s too late”… well after visiting both islands, I’d say St Kitts feels less commercial; tourism hasn’t invaded or destroyed it. Somehow, it’s retained its own character. Other than a Marriott and a KFC, every restaurant and hotel was ‘local’. It’s quite an achievement considering the number of enormous cruise ships that dock each week.

We started our week at Ocean Terrace Inn, a smart hotel overlooking the bay of Basseterre – the island’s lively and colourful capital.

As with neighbouring islands, St Kitts is mountainous with Mount Liamuiga standing tall at 3,792 feet. Beaches, mountains, volcanoes, and rainforests – a photographer’s dream!

Dramatic views from Timothy Hill in St Kitts! Great day so far touring the capital Basseterre, kayaking, enjoying the beach and checking out some of the top views!

The island’s past is deeply rooted in the sugar production industry. It’s a dark history, but one it’s important to hear in order to get to know the place. You can’t travel far without passing an old plantation, estate or sugar mill, and Ottley’s Plantation Inn – an 18th century sugar plantation with 35 lush acres of gardens, rainforest and beautiful accommodation was a highlight.
