This is Cuba!
Blog: velvet escape's blog - 23 February 2010
I remember stepping out of the airport in Varadero and looking at the palm-tree covered hills and sniffing the faint cigar-scented air. I thought, “wow, I’m here. This is Cuba!”. It was 1996. The Berlin Wall had fallen less than a decade earlier and with the demise of the Soviet Union, the Cuban economy was [...]

Havana in Pictures
Blog: Lonely Girl Travels - 19 January 2010
To end my series of Cuba posts, I’m bringing you photos from my brother’s trip to the forbidden island. Aside from being a far better photographer than me, my brother traveled with a Cuban-American friend and his family, so he had even cooler adventures (cooler than wrecking plumbing? I know, it’s hard for me to [...]

A Day Trip To Cuba’s Beautiful Playa Pilar
Blog: Have Baby Will Travel - 12 January 2010
Before I booked I didn’t realize that Cayo Coco and Cayo Guillermo are essentially just hotel strips. No town, no shops, and no Cubans – except, of course, for those working at the resort. There were plenty of excursions, but with a baby in tow, I prefer to do our own thing on our own [...]

There’s No Crackheads in Cuba, and Other Things that Strike the American Traveler as Strange
Blog: Lonely Girl Travels - 7 January 2010
Hands down, beyond a doubt, Cuba is the most different place I’ve ever traveled to. Sure, I’ve been to non-Western countries; I’ve trekked through remote jungles studded with indigenous villages and spent a night in a water-world town-on-stilts where the night sky erupted with spontaneous flashes of thunderless lightning. But I’ve never been to another place [...]

Livin on a CUC: Independent, Budget Travel in Cuba
Blog: Lonely Girl Travels - 4 January 2010
Backpackers, lefties and dirty hippies beware: Cuba is not cheap. And despite any romantic revolutionary visions, it’s got tourist traps, just like everywhere else. They’re just filled with Che shirts instead of fanny packs. Several factors might lead one to logically assume Cuba to be a budget-friendly, independent travelers’ paradise: it’s a dirt-poor Latin American country, [...]

Yankee in a Che Shirt: How To Travel to Cuba Independently and Illegally as an American
Blog: Lonely Girl Travels - 30 December 2009
Si, se puede! Three years ago, I traveled to Cuba. I didn’t get a visa, didn’t book a tour, didn’t go with a dance troupe or salsa band (though that would have been killer). I did it the way I do everything, independently. Fear mongers, nay sayers and foreign travel agencies would lead you to [...]

Cycling is Such a Great Idea – But can Everybody Have a Bike
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 24 November 2009
Cycling is such a great utilitarian activity many of us take it for granted. And there are people that have one or two bicycles for each different kind of activity. Many of us are so fortunate, living in an affluent society like Europe or North America, to find so many bicycle stores and other suppliers of bicycles in every neighbourhood. Yet we fail to realize how lucky we are. Many of us simply don’t know how hard it can be for a person living in most parts of the third world to have access to a simple two wheeler.

Baracoa – An Unspoiled Colonial Village in Cuba
Blog: Brilliant Tips Travel Blog - 11 August 2009
Set on a gorgeous bay and backed by breathtaking mountains in extreme eastern Cuba is Baracoa. Due to its geographic isolation, Baracoa, is still somewhat undiscovered and those who venture to this remote northeastern corner of the island will discover an almost unspoiled colonial village surrounded by secluded beaches and rainforest. Only accessible by sea until the 1960s, travelers can now reach Baracoa by taking a two hour flight from Havana or driving five hours by van from Santiago. The mountains, crystal clear rivers, waterfalls, and beaches all beg to ...
