Travel to Cuba
Cuba is a fascinating nation with a time-capsule feel but this might be coming to an end, so get over to Cuba sooner rather than later before the American government swoop in and give its crumbling charm a make-over. Go here before it all changes.
Cuba has long held the interest of the vintage lovers of the world. More than just an obsession for old 1950s tv’s, cars, and fashions though, Cuba is that rare gem, where for the time being at least, time seems to have very little effect at all.
Rolling by 1960 Fords, stumbling across dance sessions in the middle of town squares, and smelling the wafting delicioso air of a food stand (or spying bright, ripe market fruits and veggies) is just part of the regular day charm.
Make sure to check out the dazzling architecture, from the classic Hotel de Nacional de Cuba to the unique Cuban National Art Schools, to the white sandy beaches, because pretty soon, Cuba’s greatest masterpiece (its ability to resist the sands of change) will wear away and Starbucks will pop up on every corner.
Things not to miss: the pork and the baseball games. When it comes to pork in Cuba, just take whatever’s available; roasted, sandwiched, marinated, served with eggs, it’s all delicious and better than any bbq you’ve had at home (and note to self, the stuff on the street is just as good, if not better, than the restaurants).
And when it comes to baseball, it’s like attending a jam-packed football game with the most dedicated fans in the world; it brings life, and a whole new take on a game that can get slow fast.
There are lots of trips available to book all year round.
