I arrived here in St. Kitts, the smallest country in the Americas, for just 24 hours -- and I gave myself a budget of $100 to see how much fun I can have!! I got so many things and had myself a fantastic day on this humble Caribbean island :)
P.S. I now have 31 countries left until I complete my goal of visiting every country in the world! THE BEST IS YET TO COME!

As a Caribbean person they raised your price for most things so becareful and try negotiating
yes
Said the same thing. It's ridiculous,they tired to do me the same thing in Grenada and I had to be like I'm from Trinidad inno. It ain't worth that much lol
@@sonygoup I'm from Grenada and usually it happens at markets but from a store or mall it would be same price so it's mainly those money thirsty vendors
Yep. I'm a Jamaican myself. I have seen it many times

Hey Drew, thanks for visiting our beautiful island- the exposure is much much appreciated. Just a few notes: 1. That “Chicken Dinner” is NOT AT ALL LOCAL, that was a Chinese restaurant. Much of the locals try to stay away from that relatively poor quality cuisine.
2. Brimstone Hill, there’s a bus terminal that would charge you about 3.00xcd to go there, and you can catch another bus for that same price back.
3. $30 local food was one of the high priced vendors, not so much the best bang for buck. But it could pass. Could’ve gotten a nicer one for half that price back in town.
Overall I’m glad you enjoyed the coconut and our rum🤣 and the guy said “All Natural stuff”.
Love to have you back sometime, I’ll chauffeur you🇰🇳🇰🇳🇰🇳🇰🇳🇰🇳🇰🇳
Why are people not leaving tp usa or Europe when visa is no issue ?

Could’ve got a lot more with $100 but you were unfamiliar with the place
Yep, that's the way the cookie crumbles. :)
Yup i was jus thinking that especially with the food
Is the country expensive?
Gabriel Traveler yep
@@Kennethosaretin237 depends on where your coming from but overall Its pretty fair priced. You have to keep in mind its an island so they import stuff which makes prices go up a bit more than usual but $100(if you live alone) can get you a weeks and a few days worth of grocery and still have fun free activities on the island if you know where to look and who to look with.
You accidentally made it say $10, instead of $100

$30 for that fish dish, it was expensive. Just like Europe

I'd have to be almost at deaths door from starvation to pay $30 for fish you can catch from the see right in front of you and rice that costs almost nothing.
@@ITSNAIMAD
Still, Its too much. Comparable to one of the most expensive and rich countries of the world
Really depends man. Everything for tourists is expensive of course but if you stay away from very touristic places it will be cheap
It only cost $30 ECD not US.thats about $11 US. That is not expensive to me.Next time explore more and you will get good prices. The fish itself is expensive and a fish dish for that money is not bad. Anyway all over the world is expensive cause if I go to shop in another country even the US I have to make a conversion even though it may seems to be cheap.
Very expensive taxis

Lol
I think it's just me who came after yes theory's video of Ammar getting the passport of Saint Kitts
Antigua is one of the most expensive of the Eastern Caribbean islands. The chicken dinner is not Caribbean its supposed to be Chinese food.
Thnk u
Yes that looked like chinese food
Drew hey I'm a random passerby I saw your video in my recommendations and I just have to say as a Kittitian (someone born and raised in St. Kitts) they over charged you for alot of those items. The coconut especially you could get for 5 EC (~2 USD). Taxis are insanely expensive and I recognized the store you got the chicken an rice from and if you asked someone before hand the would have told you not to waste your money there. The video tho was interesting I'm glad you gave an honest review although your $100 could have carried you much much further.
St Kitts is the smallest island of the Caribbean
@Alejandro Duran A simple Google search would show you that that is simple factually untrue. I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish by spreading misinformation but atleast make your statements sensible.
He literally did get the coconut for the exact piece you say
@@AlejandroDuran263 not smalest island but smallest country
@@AlejandroDuran263The smallest island in the Caribbean is Saba. It is a special municipality of the Netherlands and covers an area of only about 5 square miles
I started watching you about 25-30k subscribers and you’ve inspired me to travel and more so on a budget! I’m travelling Asia to tick of 7 countries of my list! Thank you keep up the good work
Im Caribbean and Im so excited that you are there right now, was waiting on you to go back 🇯🇲😁 love your videos man, and yes it’s super expensive especially on the smaller islands so I do feel for u man
Great job on capturing the prices of this special Island. I hope to go at some point. Keep up the amazing inspiring vids. I also would walk 30 minutes to save a couple bucks. walking around is the best way to explore a city.
Its true. Walking is the best i love exloring a city through walking
It would of been so much cheaper if u had catch an umni bus 3.50
I live in st Kitts a bus ride around the whole island is led than 10 ec= around 3 usd
I give a lot of props to Drew for keeping it real and not bullshitting us on what happens like so many other channels.
That chicken dinner you had was not local food,that was Asian fast food or what we call it Chinese food.It's not really the best but it's cheap.I hope you had a good time in my little island, I also hope you travel there again for a longer time to enjoy the island.
Just marathoned a bunch of your Africa videos, you truly have some of the best content ever
Drew I am honored you visited my country ! I wish you had more fun because St. Kitts has a lot to offer.
I like your videos! You're funny and cool! Kudos, man!
Great vlog. Expensive place though, That would equal 4 days in Thailand. Looking forward to the next vid. Cheers
Finally!! These series are the best
So proud of you!!!!😀
The best thing about St. Kitts is that it is one of the strongest passports in the world with more than 150 countries visa free, but what’s even more great that you can buy their passport for $150,000 and get the citizenship as well
St. Kitts and Nevis - what a truly beautiful place! As my wife and I spent our honeymoon there over a decade ago, I don't think that this video captures enough of what makes St. Kitts and Nevis so special. First of all, St. Kitts and Nevis is the smallest independent nation in the Western Hemisphere and the oldest English-speaking islands in the Caribbean. Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park is a "must" for anyone visiting St. Kitts as it is a UNESCO World Heritage site - fascinating history with incredible views. Caribelle Batik at Romney Manor specializes in beautiful, locally produced batik clothing; and the beaches at Frigate Bay and Cockleshell are terrific (the latter has a commanding view of Nevis). Mount Liamuiga is the tallest mountain (a dormant volcano) that features excellent hiking. Basseterre is a pleasant and walkable national capital (the Circus in the center of town) full of restaurants, markets, and shops. From Basseterre you can take a ferry to gorgeous Nevis - the epitome of the unspoiled Caribbean full of history, gorgeous beaches, lush hills and mountains, and old sugar plantations converted over to boutique hotels. Charlestown, the capital and largest town of Nevis, is compact and features the birthplace of Alexander Hamilton. The local cuisine, particularly seafood (i.e., spiny lobster), is terrific throughout St. Kitts and Nevis. The local rums are great, and the people are very friendly.
I'm a Nigerian.
Lived in St Kitts for some years.
Attended Medical Sch there. My 2 kids r Kittitians, I had d 1st while in Medical School.
Left after graduation. Few years later visited and delivered my 2nd child there.

OH MY GOSH I LIVE IN ANTIGUA AND THE Antigua girls rolled across the Caribbean Ocean and reached at English Harbour I saw the whole thing
-SK is not the smallest in the Caribbean it's Saba. And we don't important everything . We made a lot of primary industries n few secondary goods.
Smallest INDEPENDENT country in the Americas
First of all, Drew was talking about independent countries. Second, do you mean Saba?
Saba is part of the Netherlands. Nice try though. St kitts nevis is an independent nation. Smallest in the western hemisphere
@@tauceti8060 SKN WAS smallest until St Martin became and independent country in 2010

Miss the old intro drewwwwww. That soothing music to know we weee in for another treat of a video and the amount of days on the road
Yes, I've heard of St. Kitts. There is more to the Caribbean than bigger islands like Jamaica. The coconut vendor said "it is only natural stuff".
Last time I was this early, Antigua was in it's golden cricketing era!!!
0:55 love how you put 10 instead of 100
I love these types of videos 👍
This was very chill.
It means with the budget of $100 you should walk around, because getting a taxi is expensive there
At least you got a *"Chicken Dinner"* 😂
At a chinese restaurant which is normally cheap $5/15EC small $10/$30 lg depending where you go. Well just dont eat nor drink then simple that. Buy a snack or johnny cake and salt fis and a drink for just $10 EC.Not bad at all.
First of all....that was not a local dish...eating at a Chinese restaurant on a Caribbean island and calling it “Local” is a slap in the face to the actual culture and cultural foods actually provided on the island....this video pissed me off and really is a poor indication/depiction of island life in SKN...maybe do some research next time....but anyways I guess it was his experience
Kekemay This video wasn’t meant to show culture, it’s meant to show what to do with 100 dollars in 24 hours in Antigua.

Hope u had a wonderful experience in my beautiful Homeland Saint Kitts
I also had a blast of $100 in Malaysia & Singapore
That chicken dinner was not local. It's Chinese. And from the airport to Basseterre is $2.50 in a passenger bus unlike the $15US in a taxi
Plz tell him .......he jus got me pissed he ass com to SK ain't no shit but running his mouth jus like any other country taxi is not the only transport service, did he even ask the taxi guy is there another way to town ??
Shin Lamar he throw away his money foolishly and want to downplay our twin nations. Asia street food causes diarrhea and food poisoning because we regulate vendors and make sure they have the proper permits and sanitary procedures.
Da ain no Chinese food. Chinese food nuh look so. You even seen Chinese food with green bush mixed in rice and steam veggies on de side?
There are actual public buses that can take you to the UNESCO site for $1.50US, I'm not sure he did research before coming down. And to have Chinese Food and call it a local dish absolutely disrespectful. You were served by a Chinese guy wasn't that a giveaway? There's so much to see in Basseterre for free too. It has so much history. I don't understand this.
This comment should be pinned! Research before you start spitting out words that aren't facts!

In India you can get a coconut for just $1
You get it for half a $ actually, in cities. If you go to smaller towns and villages it'll be even cheaper.
Seriously?
You can also get the smaller ones for 0.5
@@rahulsemailbox yes
@@rahulsemailbox in my town you get it for ₹20
This is not a good video... you wasted cash... plan ahead... there is so much more you could do with 100 USD in Saint Kitts... from a Kittitian
Next time you come ill take u to brimstone hill. I live in that village
Busses DO go from Basseterre to the fortress. You would have to walk up the driveway but many people do including group hikes.
man u needed a tour guide...
We also have coconut in India.
It feels amazing to have it during sunny days.
Thanks for visting my country

It's amazing that he came to the beautiful island of St.kitts, stayed in a guest house, bought dinner at a Chinese restaurant, and called it the St.Kitts experience.. Joke ..St.Kitts is a lady she can't be bought for $100 or get to know her in 24 hours. lol lol
Well said. 24 hrs and now he knows the whole island. 🤭😠
And there are buses that takes u to brimestone hill! He vexing to watch!
Thank you!!!!!🇰🇳🇰🇳
Exactly Peter. Even some of the least fortunate SK person would scoff at a $100. That won't go anywhere. Please
Tip: always visit a local business like a government office/bank and let the locals recommend places to get local food as well as how to get around. You will save money and get the best experience as a local (if you don't stay at an Airbnb)
You should get a tour guide Drew,you know to ease your journey

Loved it when went here also its a beautiful country
There’s sooooo many misleading things in this video and I am not even gonna touch on what other persons had pointed out like the Chinese food place (not even going to call it a restaurant) our public health department constantly shut down those food places 🤣not going say for what we all have an imagination
1. from the time he walk from the airport to the coconut stand it’s not a 30 mins walk it’s about 5 to 7 mins walk
2. That’s not a hotel you stayed at in the middle of town it’s a motel (I would not get in details as to what goes on there
3. You would of passed our famous “The Circus” historic site on your way to the square and you would not of even had to ask anyone about the history as it’s written on it
I challenge you to come back and really learn and enjoy my beautiful St. Kitts ☀️
Avalette I agree with you. He was definitely not able to capture the true essence of St.Kitts. Since he was only on a $100 budget its very unlikely he could. I will be featuring St.kitts again on a next upcoming trip. Hopefully you will watch.
I live in St . Kitts love your review of the country. However, the rice and chicken you ate is not local food, but Chinese food.
Da ain no Chinese food. Chinese food nuh look so. You even seen Chinese food with green bush mixed in rice and steam veggies on de side?

oh no there is a monster chasing drew!
HE HAS AIRPODS HE CANT HEAR US
With all due respect, as a Kittitian I am very displeased. This video made St. Kitts look like a mediocre place which is far from the truth. St. Kitts is one of THE MOST BEAUTIFUL Caribbean islands that I have been to(and I have visited a lot). These are some of my concerns.
1. The fish lunch actually was not overpriced. That is the price of a regular fish lunch in St. Kitts. Plus, you got different sides so no worry.
2. 'The Chinese' as we call it, is NOT a local place where local dishes are served. That is a place where the Chinese sell their dishes and also have a supermarket and hotel.
3. You could have actually gotten a bus to Brimestone Hill. If you asked someone how to get there they would have shown you the bus terminal where you could have gotten a bus for $3.50 EC the most. The round trip would've been $7.00 EC the most.
4. To get a proper hotel in St. Kitts, you have to spend more than $50 US.
5. You can have a lot more fun with $100 US in St. Kitts. With the right people there to guide you to places where things are far cheaper, you would have had more money to do more things. So many things could be done in Basseterre for free. Basseterre and the whole of St. Kitts is full of rich history.
St. Kitts is a very developed country. Even though it is very small, it has one of the highest cost of living in the Caribbean islands around it. Because of this, you cannot spend $100 US in St. Kitts and expect a comfortable lifestyle.
Also, because of all the things that St. Kitts has to offer, you cannot spend 24 hours there. St. Kitts is a country where time is needed so that you can explore the island and do various activities.
I suggest that you come back, contact me prior and spend a good amount of time in St. Kitts so that you can experience the real beauty that this small yet beautiful island has to offer.
From,
A Proud Kittitian
Thank youuuuu!!!!! Knowledge is power and because he didn't research he spent his money foolishly and made comments that weren't true instead of stating facts. Go and try again.
Thank you, because I feel like I should report this video for defamation of character 😂
Thank you
I'm from there
Samantha Bedford I am with you on your comments. Yeah that foreigner is not a local person that’s why the food was mediocre.
I am glad you visited my island and enjoyed it for $100 that was cheap. Next time you visit for music festival or carnival or cricket or any other activity may be more but hooking up with a good buddie you will sure enjoy it more and who knows spend less or next to nothing.That is staying with a family would be awesome. Anyway remember to come again. A hike in the rainforest,yes Brimstone Hill, the Hot Springs in Nevis, etc.As a matter of fact you should have visited the sister island of Nevis next door by boat as like killing 2 birds with 1 stone. Yes 2 islands 1 paradise. Nevis for the Summer Festival is great also.Enjoy the rest of your travels around the world. As I said do come back.
