I'm a friendly, social, and witty person who would love to connect with you! Born and raised in St. Kitts, I have come to appreciate the island I call home. From its national parks, fertile land, and calm Caribbean waters to the rough Atlantic seas, I love it all. With its warm beaches, intimate spots, picturesque views, and kind, loving people, my heart beats to the symphony of "life on St. Kitts". Whether it's the island's colorful homes, historic buildings, curvy roads, or the faint images of distant beauty, I sync with "life on St. Kitts". The rhythms of our ancestors, the beats of our present culture, the fragrance of our flora, and our fine foods keep me going to the tune of "life in St. Kitts." Combining this with my experience as a tour guide, my why is to share a personal journey with you as you discover... uncover my island. I've been an official tour guide since 2015. Therefore, because of my love for exploring, I guarantee a satisfying tour. I'm academically inclined, so I use this to bring a knowledgeable perspective to our excursions. Lastly, in my evenings, I work at a radio station, and as a communicator at heart, I always look forward to connecting as I introduce you to this piece of paradise.

Overview of your Basseterre tour

Join me on this journey as we explore the rich history of St. Christopher better known as St. Kitts. Learn about where we came from, our background and who we are now, our culture, our strength and our heritage, plus unveil where we're heading: our potential. This tour provides the best kind of time travel you can experience by visiting my homeland. An ideal blend of historical sites that'll make you ponder, commentary that'll keep you in sync with life on St. Kitts, and superb hospitality. With my years in the tour industry plus being a local by birth I'm well-equipped to showcase my communities. Now being a husband and communications specialist, I understand the need to connect. I'll show you where I grew up too. We'll visit our capital- Basseterre, an old french town that shows stains of slavery & imprints of British colonialism, and we'll enjoy the nature of the rainforest & the history of various sites such as Independence Square's old slave market and the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Brimstone Hill.
