A Well-used Deck of Cards: Fortune Telling and Santería in La Havana, Cuba
Blog: The Brink of Something Else - 11 July 2011
The Church was simple, as was the altar she had set up on the low wall in front of it. A white cloth, a doll, flowers, a basket. A well-used deck of cards. “¿Habla español?” she asks, indicating me with chin and cigar. “Sí, sí” Baryan said. “Cam, I’m gonna go take some pictures. See [...]

A Little Consideration…Echos of Cuba’s History
Blog: A Little Adrift - A RTW Travelogue - 9 June 2011
The thunderclouds hung low for hours over Havana, Cuba before my friend Louise and I decided enough was enough--if the rain was going to play a game of chicken with us then we were going to spend the afternoon exploring the city instead of hiding indoors in anticipation of the thick sheets of rain that had, for six long and cold days, followed us around the island like a lost puppy. We bundled ourselves tight into our rain jackets, twisted our cameras safely into zip-lock baggies, and set out on foot to walk Old-Town Havana (la Habana Vieja) and Cuba's famous Malecón.

Take Me Back to Old Havana
Blog: Girl, Unstoppable - 5 June 2011
I recently came across this wonderfully honest and beautiful video of scenes from Old Havana. It unexpectedly made me feel like I was in Havana again. It captures what a visit to the city is all about. The main thing to see there is everyday living as is — the resourcefulness and creative solutions, lots [...]

Bribery at the Border (And Other Crazy Shit)
Blog: Lonely Girl Travels - 27 April 2011
[This is a long one, guys. Grab a cup of Lao coffee and settle in...] A comb-over and a white shirt, the man moved slowly through the bus aisle. “Passport for border crossing,” he announced, gathering a stack of booklets from the bleary-eyed Westerners filling the seats. “$5,” he told me as I went to [...]

Street Art in Cuba
Blog: Inside the Travel Lab - 13 April 2011
In Cuba, I spent most of my time on the streets. It's a Caribbean country with a laid-back vibe, whatever its international stereotype and ongoing political conflicts. As you may know, I love street art. It...

Viva Cuba! – Varadero edition
Blog: See Simi Travel Blog - 17 January 2011
With only ten days vacation annually in Canada (with the exceptions of public servants) heading south for a relaxing beach vacation just makes sense. Travel agencies knows this too, and North America truly offers some of the best all-inclusive packages available, heading to Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. You can stay at a 4-star resort, airfare included, with all your meals and drinks covered for under $1,000. Just check www.selloffvacations.com. If you’re really good at hunting, have a flexible schedule and are very patient, you could get your week in paradise for $600.

A Little Confession…Cuba Gets an “ish” from Me
Blog: A Little Adrift - A RTW Travelogue - 17 January 2011
I have a confession to make about why I rarely mention the eight days I spent in Cuba a year ago…I stayed mum because some of it’s lukewarm. And I steer clear of overtly negative posts on a country or city because travel is so very personal, and I’d hate to steer someone away from visiting Cuba because of a mediocre review from me. So hear me out, because a lot of people might not agree with this…but I will probably not travel back to Cuba – and definitely not ...

Photo Essay: Final Thoughts on Cuba and Portraits from Havana
Blog: Girl, Unstoppable - 7 October 2010
It was our last day as a group; we’d all be heading in different directions the next day or the day after. We’d recently been strangers, but now we’d shared an insane and insanely amazing week and a half together. When we got back to the city, the six of us who were left commemorated [...]

Our Day of Cuban Rest
Blog: Girl, Unstoppable - 6 October 2010
I love the ocean something fierce, but I’m not a beach vacation type of person. Even when I travel to a seaside place with the intention of relaxing, I often end up discovering how much there is to do there and try to tackle as many activities as I can. But that urgency and eagerness [...]

The Breakdown and The Beach
Blog: Girl, Unstoppable - 30 September 2010
Later on, we’d start piecing together the signs, but foreseeing what would happen that day would not have been logical. When you’re thrown together with a new travel group, polite layers are shed quickly as you spend a ridiculous amount of time with people and places you’ve just met. When a fellow traveler’s quirkiness begins [...]

Journeying into Cuban Hearts, Part 1

It is time for our group salsa lesson, the hour of our evening that we naively believe will give us the skills we need to work up the nerve to dance with the Cubans. Our instructor and her assistant are patient and serious, but I can see their eyes smile with amusement as they try [...]
