Looking to make a lifelong friend? Caribbean legend suggests that two  hours in a kitchen with sweet potatoes, pumpkin, coconut, and cornflower might just do the trick.

By Katherine in Marina

St. Kitts is prime for exploration, and the Southeast Peninsula, which is home to Christophe Harbour, offers some great opportunities for adventure.

As Christophe Harbour’s Director of Operations and Development, Spencer Nash spends a lot of time walking the property to ensure landscaping is thriving, construction is happening, and development work – above ground and below water – is progressing. As a self-professed outdoorsman, it’s no wonder his family loves a day filled with adventure and exploration.

A typical island weekend for the Nash family, who’ve lived on St. Kitts for two years, generally involves some type of exploration and an unexpected find. They either pick a specific thing that’s interesting and...
