Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this RU-vid channel to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling! So we extended our 1 year trip to now FOUR years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before 2020! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)

2:55 Nigerians didn't immigrate to Cuba. Santeria came about after Africans were forcibly brought to the Caribbean during the slave trade! Cuba wasn't a part of Spain, it was a colony of Spain.

@ania5038 3 года назад

Lol I hope people don't watch these for historical accuracy

@demetriusbriscoe9814 5 лет назад

The AfroCubans did not immigrate to Cuba but was forced by enslavement. They had to create Santeria for survival but regardless I love you twos videos!!❤️❤️ Cuba looks beautiful

@alinesouza8322 2 года назад

The same with Brazil but we created Umbanda that is related to Yoruba.

Despite the 57 year long blockade that has been imposed on Cuba by the United States that was meant to cripple their economic development, it is amazing what they have managed to do with the resources they possess. Cuba is curing types of Cancer and diseases that the rest of the world doesn't have cures for, for example.

Cuba is definitely a very complicated place to visit. I have very close family friends and childhood friends that parents escape when the revolution started and have grown up hearing their stories, some have shown me pictures of when they lived on the island...the glamor of the buildings and people are so stunning to see now when compared to the decay and ruin we now see in color. I hope to visit one day, but it will be some what of a bitter sweet feeling to finally see Cuba.

Just finished watching a day in Havana from another vlog and his comments where not as upbeat. Yes he saw the buildings and liked a lot of things but he also warned of scammers. There every ware. But he did not film them because you never know what happens when you leave. He mentioned to be careful.

@luismarquez7917 4 года назад

What you are watching is not the real Cuba. The real Cubans go hungry, they have no control of their lives and are totally in misery. I'm Cuban and I know of the real Cuba.

African ( Yoruba) didn't immigrant to Cuba. By saying that you make it come off as if it was a choice and not a forced migration. Words are very powerful so please be careful on the way you use them to describe the transatlantic salve trade.

@markpmcchesney 4 года назад

Words ARE very powerful. I think you meant "Slave"...

@mikeycowell142 9 месяцев назад

Learn history, African tribes sold most of "slaves" to European nations like England, Portugal, and Spain. It was a big thing back then. It had a market. (I personally don't agree with selling people), but what you call slaves, were pretty much classed as cattle to their own tribes)

It is really funny because in Portugal after Christmas some people eat 'farrapo velho' which also means old clothes and it is a mix of shreded cod and kale and cabbage, basically it is the leftovers of the christmas dinner. It is pretty good.

We went two months after the laws were changed to allow US citizens to travel there more freely. Ended up meeting 8 others who we traveled with for a week and it was the most amazing trip we've ever been on (and we've been all over the world). Fascinating history, wonderful people, outstanding music and so nice to be disconnected from the world for a week.

@ilovu7777 5 лет назад

I am from Cuba and I love how people are going there to learn about the culture. It’s a little bit hard knowing how much poverty everyone there is suffering, bread was recently limited to any family that has kids up to the age of 13 and if you don’t then the bread is restrained. BREAD. One penny will buy you 5 pieces of bread but it’s hard when in a month they make around 10-15 dollars maybe less (those who have professional degrees). Everyone in Cuba is struggling. Those who work for the government are overlooked and get privileges like touring people like when the Kardashian’s went. It’s not that Cuba is ‘vintage’ and has beautiful old buildings (they are ALL breaking down, they never have electricity) citizens are just not ALLOWED to progress like the rest of the world otherwise they face years of jail. Cuba is absolutely beautiful and needs all the help they can get. Oh and Santeria is Cuban witchcraft, just thought I would add that. LOVE YOUR TRAVEL VIDEOS!

@donnamanitu8372 5 лет назад

Thank you so much for posting your comment and mentioning that you are from Cuba. If possible I hope you can answer a few questions for me. We will be visiting there via a cruise ship next week. I have read online on how even simple things like toothpaste can cost a tenth of their monthly budget. We have already packed toiletries like toothpaste , toothbrushes, deodorant, floss. I went to the bookstore and picked up children's books which have spanish/english translations and also some spanish bibles. We are bring soccer balls, barbie dolls and some first aid items. We will be taking all the items to La Milagrosa and since we don't speak spanish I thought I will write out a letter and translate via google to take with us. I understand that we are bringing gifts, was told not to say donations, and wanted to know other than an additional cash gift what else would be good to bring ? Thank you for taking the time to read this, we will probably only be going to Cuba once so I want to show our appreciation in a helpful way.

@ilovu7777 5 лет назад

Donna Manitu they will be so thankful for all those things because they are in need of ANYTHING. I say be careful with how you take things and definitely try saying that it’s for gifts for people you know, otherwise most of the things will be taken away from you at the airport ( just noticed you said cruise ship so I am not sure if it would be the same) when you arrive and they will keep it for themselves. People there really need clothing, children need shoes (you will notice many many kids running around the street barefoot because they can’t use their only pair of shoes that they need for school to play and protect their feet). Small things for us make a huge difference for them, and everyone will be extremely grateful. I recommend going more into the deep towns and not just staying in the city where everything “looks nice” because it’s touristy. Once again, Cuba is absolutely beautiful they really just do need help.
