My Favorite Destination
For me, it’s toss-up between Havana and Santiago de Cuba. They’re both large energetic cities with heaps of culture on offer but sit at opposite ends of the country. Santiago de Cuba is actually closer to Haiti than Havana and has a strong Afro-Caribbean influence, along with the dramatic backdrop of the Sierra Maestro Mountains. Havana is iconic, and rightly so. The architecture and array of sites on offer is unmatched elsewhere in the region.
My Best Experience
Becoming a local. I fell in love with Cuba and more importantly, a Cuban woman, which culminated in the best decision I ever made: moving here permanently. I had been visiting Cuba for many years and have had countless wonderful experiences, but the most special (after meeting my wife!) has been the slow transition from Brit to Habanero. I’ve found the Cuban people to be exceptionally welcoming.
