Why din’t you avoid Cuba all together. If you want to have fun, go to a country where the citizens are free and are not dying of hunger and are thrown in jail for all the things you are warning tourists about. You are inviting tourists to just have a “mojito” and turn their eyes away from the misery.

@TravelDroner 7 месяцев назад

@@maraperez1527 Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's important to remember that travel can have different purposes for different people. While some travel for leisure, others might do so to learn about different cultures and realities, including the challenges faced by local communities. Visiting places like Cuba can be an eye-opening experience, providing a deeper understanding of the world and its complexities. It's not about turning a blind eye to the issues but rather about gaining firsthand insight and, where possible, supporting local people and their businesses. Enjoying a 'mojito' doesn't mean ignoring the problems; it can be part of experiencing the culture and engaging with the locals. Responsible tourism can contribute positively, both economically and socially, to the places we visit. Your point is well-taken and a reminder to travel consciously and thoughtfully wherever we go.

Cuba is impressively safe feeling (crime wise) - you have to keep in mind people don’t want to risk getting arrested - and everyone is police. My only advice would be to keep your docs on you / a copy on your phone, and like anywhere, lock ya suitcase in hostel/hotel. One time my roommate and my passports got flip flopped in our luggage when the hostel owner was snooping. Nothing taken - I am sure they were just curious, but be advised - can happen anywhere. People were super nice. Biggest culture shock was the santaria stuff sprinkled around and no beef - also how safe it was. There are also two currencies - a local one and a “tourist” one. If possible, get the local one. Def a time capsule of architecture and autos. And yes - don’t be flashy, not because of theft, more because it’s beyond rude to go places of nationwide poverty dripping in wealth they cannot obtain.

I have been to Cuba eight or more times over the years to resorts in Cayo Santa Maria and Cayo Coco. I have never had any problems and feel completely safe . The staff at these resorts go out of there way to please you so treat them with respect and dignity. Respect goes both ways . I always tip and bring gifts for the staff that are appreciative of my actions even though they ask for nothing. l will be going again next year.

@TravelDroner 7 месяцев назад

Wow, it sounds like you've had some truly wonderful experiences in Cuba! It's great to hear that your visits to Cayo Santa Maria and Cayo Coco have been so positive and problem-free. You're absolutely right about the importance of treating the staff at these resorts with respect and dignity. The hospitality in Cuba is renowned, and it's heartening to hear your appreciation for their hard work and efforts to make your stay enjoyable. Your approach of tipping and bringing gifts while respecting their dignity by acknowledging that they ask for nothing is a beautiful way to show gratitude. It's travelers like you who make a positive impact on the places they visit. Enjoy your trip next year, and may it be as rewarding and safe as all your previous visits!

I went to Cuba this year and it was the safest country I've ever been to. I believe that, like in Brazil, prostitution is not a crime in Cuba.

@TravelDroner 7 месяцев назад

It's great to hear that you felt safe during your visit to Cuba! Safety is such an essential aspect of travel, and it can really shape your experience of a country. Regarding the legal status of prostitution, it's a complex issue and can vary widely from country to country. In Cuba, while prostitution itself is not formally a crime, the activities surrounding it, such as pimping or running a brothel, are illegal. The government also takes measures to prevent the exploitation of prostitution for tourism. It's a sensitive topic, and the local laws reflect an attempt to navigate the social issues that come with it. It's always insightful to learn about how countries handle complex social issues, and it's a reminder of the diverse legal and cultural landscapes worldwide. Thanks for sharing your experience. It sounds like your trip to Cuba left you with plenty to reflect on!

@camilofajardo1959 13 дней назад

I rented a car in Cuba for nearly 30 years without any trouble but I heard stories about people stuck in the country after an accident with a Cuban injured. So don’t drink and drive safely - police can check speeding too so respect the rules and talk... I’ve got communication techniques to avoid any trouble that I’ll keep for myself - I got fined only once when I nearly ran over a policeman at a “punto de control” en la carretera central due to dirty windscreen and late sun in the face on my way to Habana very late in the afternoon - in the USA I would have been handcuffed and taken to the police station but that evening I was only fined 20 o 30 dollars to be paid at the rental agency when giving back the car - in any case, a folded 20 usd banknote in the passport could do the job ! Policemen have received instructions for some years to be quite “cool” with tourists so don’t worry. The main problem now is the price of the rental and most of all the lack of gas ⛽️all round the country ! So hiring a private taxi can be the solution even if the trip will be different (better for sure if you don’t know the country !) To finish, I had to solve a problem at a police station recently, it was raining ... I was hitchhiking and knocked at the window of a police car and asked them to give me a lift and they did it ! Unfortunately, my Cuban wife left the country with 200,000 euros that I kept in her flat and I took me 7 months to lodge a complaint ... in fact, they just fucking didn’t care ! They could have called Interpol or the Mexican Police but they just didn’t do it ! And in case of problem, it can take hours or ... days before being attended ! A foreigner cannot skip the queue as in the 90’s !

I see a lot of parts of this video showing Trinidad, my favorite destination in Cuba. I even drank the tap water in Trinidad without any issues. I have never been sick in Cuba in or out of resorts. In a 2 week stay we eat half of our meals in local restaurants. Don't hire a prostitute anywhere on this planet. And I don't want to be rude but I never take travelling advice from an american. Did you know Cuba has a much smaller % of infant mortality then the U.S.? There is no mass murders in Cuba. LGBTQ are not persecuted in Cuba. Jews are safe in Cuba. On the Canadian government travelling advisory site, there are more warnings about travelling to the U.S. then Cuba? And BTW I travelled on cuban buses, trucks and illegal taxis and never had a problem. Also, I've met people from around the world in Cuba but never an american. But I like your video bros 👍

Cuba, staff very friendly and tossing in a couple bottles of Deet to give to the garden staff gets a great smile, think of practical gifts that don't need batteries.

TWO innocent mistakes to avoid : 1) in a hotel, criticize with a Cuban you just met the poor quality of the meal as it can be reported to the secret police as a critic of the Govt ; instead, address your insatisfaction to the hotel MANAGER 2) do not bring 2 or 3 foreign books in your suitcase (even mathematics texts) as they will be inspected almost page by page to make sure your books are not critiques of the government !

@TravelDroner Год назад

Thank you for sharing these insightful tips! It's important for travelers to be aware of the local customs and regulations when visiting any country. Your first point highlights the sensitivity around criticizing the government in Cuba, and it's wise to exercise caution when discussing such matters, especially with individuals you've just met. Directing any dissatisfaction regarding the quality of a meal to the hotel manager is a more appropriate and constructive approach. Similarly, your second point sheds light on the restrictions regarding bringing foreign books into Cuba. It's crucial to understand that books, regardless of their subject matter, might be subject to inspection by the authorities. Being mindful of this can help avoid any potential misunderstandings or complications during your trip. Overall, these tips will certainly assist fellow travelers in navigating the cultural and regulatory nuances of visiting Cuba. Thanks again for sharing them!

@jamannetje 11 месяцев назад

This is nonsense. (1) Who else then the hotel Manager are you going to complain to about the hotel? No Cuban cares about your bad meal in the hotel. You're just showing that you are a spoiled brat (2) I've brought many books to Cuba. None was ever checked. It's simply not the focus of the customs in Cuba.

The 'dont talk politics or Fidel" is quiet caricatural . As in any other country, not everyone is comfortable talking seriously about politics, but with the right people ( students, teachers, doctors, artists, etc.) as soon as they feel you're all right, they will tell you their positions very openly, the pros and cons of their everyday life without any kind of fear, and there is absolutely no danger for a visitor to ask questions, inquire and exchange on that matter.

@TravelDroner 4 месяца назад

Indeed, the context and the people you're with can greatly influence the depth and openness of such conversations. It sounds like you've had some meaningful exchanges that have offered a more nuanced view of life in Cuba. It's a good reminder that while general advice can be helpful, there's often more complexity and openness in personal interactions than we might initially think.

Cuba's beaches can be deceptively serene until a rogue wave decides to give you an unexpected salty surprise, huh? 😅 It's a bummer that your trip had that rough patch. It's always a toss-up with new cuisines and environments - it could be the food adjusting to new bacteria or just the ocean deciding to remind us we're not fish. Either way, I hope it didn't dampen your spirits too much and that you still managed to enjoy what Cuba has to offer. Got any safer (and drier) adventures planned for your next visit? 🌴✈

Back in 1998 on a trip to the island, I made the almost deadly mistake of commenting in a room full of family and neighbours by saying; "does that lunatic ever shut up" then began to laugh. Fidel had been speaking since late morning, and it was already around 7 in the evening. All of a sudden, 2 of my cousins appeared dragged me out, and put me under a cold shower. The next morning a woman who was part of the country's government came to question me. My mother accompanied me to the place where the interview took place. I was interrogated, and I was panicking! The woman let me know that she was a friend of the family, and so she let me go. Although she asked Mom why I had been so dangerously rude. And my mother said; "since a little girl, she's been accustomed to free speech." She didn't know the rules here. But I'll make sure she doesn't repeat the mistake." And the woman just stared at me, and asked me; do you now understand?...followed by...hmm" I shook my head, for a long stretch, and promised I'd never again be disrespectful to the ways of the island. Once back at the house, I took quite a few drinks of "Negrita" rum. and then, spent the rest of the day not saying a word! Why, I couldn't even utter a word, so great was my fear! (Oh! Don't spit on the sidewalk! There it's a sign of rudeness and disrespect.) just saying...

Wow, @mari-greciaodal2436, that's quite a story! Traveling can indeed bring us face to face with different cultural norms and political landscapes, and it sounds like your experience in Cuba was a real eye-opener. It's fascinating, yet also a bit nerve-wracking, how a casual comment can lead to such an intense situation. Your story is a vivid reminder of the importance of being mindful and respectful of local customs and laws, especially in places with different views on freedom of expression. It's also interesting how your mother's explanation highlights the cultural differences in perceptions of free speech. It's good to hear that everything was resolved without any serious consequences, but I can imagine how the experience left you shaken. Your advice about not spitting on the sidewalk is a great tip for anyone traveling to Cuba or any new destination. Being aware of local customs, no matter how small, is key to being a respectful and responsible traveler. Thank you for sharing your experience - it's a compelling reminder of our diverse world and the adventures (and sometimes challenges) that await us when we step out of our comfort zones. Safe travels on your future journeys!

Your story highlights the importance of being culturally sensitive and aware of local customs, especially in places with different social and legal norms. It's fascinating how even small actions, like blowing your nose in public, can have different interpretations in various cultures.

@@TravelDroner Hola! A rollercoaster of emotions? At least. I was just a little girl when we came to the States. I remember very little. But, somehow I remember el carnaval. People doing the conga on the streets. And the intense sun. And, the rain which fell every day. Nothing like that took place on my return. A new bunch of sights were there to snd my mind awhirl! Many of the buildings were crumbling down, and my cousin Piru, with a frightening morbid being would tell me the dead people were under the rubble...and I believed him. or, that that they'd had eaten out of desperation all the scorpions, big black hairy spiders. The lizards, the bats that got into one's hair at night, and those great big frogs that you'd seen in the night. And, he told me that had I noticed that a few cats and dogs were idling about. So I would ask him...do you mean they were eaten too? And without a sign of surprise, he'd just say, Si! Esos tambien! He scared me so much that I never ate street food while there. And he, delighting in having pulled my leg, would tell me; under no circumstances let a neighbour make you a chicken sandwich, it's probably buzzard. Oh, and I must not forget having taken 12 of those giant Hershey bars for my cousins. However, at the airport, when checking our bags, someone let out the fact that I had a lot of chocolate. Well, when we stepped out of the airport I had only four bars left! Well, I bought my first bottle of Ron Negrita that very night. And continued to drink it daily, from morning to night! I don't really know how I managed to survive the exotic machinations of the island! Carajo!😬 Buenas noches! Y, gracias!😁

@Travel Droner Do you know what the law is about Metal Detecting in Cuba?

@TravelDroner 2 месяца назад

In Cuba, metal detectors are highly regulated to protect the country's rich historical artifacts and heritage sites. Unauthorized use, especially near historical or archaeological sites, is prohibited to prevent the looting and unauthorized removal of cultural artifacts. Violating these regulations can lead to severe consequences, including heavy fines, confiscation of equipment, and imprisonment. The Cuban government takes these matters seriously to preserve its cultural heritage. If you're considering metal detecting in Cuba, it’s crucial to obtain permission from relevant authorities like the National Heritage Council and ensure compliance with local laws to avoid these legal penalties.

How Cuba cars get gas for driving around daily?

@TravelDroner 4 месяца назад

In Cuba, getting gas for cars involves a bit of a different process compared to many other countries, primarily due to the island's unique economic situation and the U.S. embargo. Despite these challenges, Cubans have found ways to ensure their vehicles, many of which are vintage cars from the 1950s, keep running. Gas stations in Cuba are operated by state-owned companies like CUPET (Cuban Petroleum Union). These stations supply both regular gasoline and diesel. However, due to economic constraints and sanctions, fuel can sometimes be scarce, leading to long lines at gas stations. There are special gas stations for tourists and some locals that accept foreign currency (previously CUCs, but now more likely in Euros or other accepted currencies due to recent monetary reforms). These stations usually have shorter lines and more reliable fuel availability but at a higher price. Cubans have also developed a network of informal channels for fuel distribution. This can involve purchasing fuel from those with a surplus or even from government allocations. The resilience and ingenuity of the Cuban people play a significant role in keeping their iconic cars on the road despite these challenges.

As far as politics are concerned, many Cubans just don't care anymore about talking about politics and even shout their disagreement with the government ! Good thinking about tips which are very helpful but in fact, many workers in good hotels or restaurants are privileged compared to people not related to tourism with majority of white people. Don't forget elderly people, vending or begging (or not) in the street ! You can even offer food, no problem... and change your money in the street ! Much cheaper !

@@Mach11976 It's cool that you've stayed close to her family, and it's great to hear there's no awkwardness. I bet her parents have mixed feelings about returning to Cuba, but it sounds like you're all about diving into the food and culture, which is awesome. Enjoy those flavors and all the stories you'll uncover along the way!

Being a retired man from the ex-Soviet block country I'm pissed long time ago by the communist dictatorship so I gladly leave Cuba to the people which think it's exotic to go there.

Avoid black coral, cigars & currency exchange from street vendors.

@TravelDroner 3 месяца назад

It's always important to be cautious when dealing with street vendors while traveling.

@robertomanz6399 13 дней назад

black coral is allowed if you buy it from the govt. shoppes and then can be exported.

Hello, I am curious to hear why you are suggesting this, care to share your story?

@montyhinton4971 2 месяца назад

Being an American is Okey, being from Texas is even better but to mention that you are or even were a Marine is seems not to be a good idea

It's important to be proud of your background, but it's also okay to keep certain details private.

Be discreet .. but the women there love personal hygiene products !

@TravelDroner 5 месяцев назад

Absolutely, discretion is key! And that's a really useful tip about personal hygiene products. It's amazing how something we might take for granted can be appreciated so much elsewhere. It's all about understanding and respecting what's valued in different cultures. Thanks for sharing that insight - it's super helpful for anyone planning a visit. Any other local tips or insights you've picked up along the way?

Personal hygiene products, toothpaste, soap, beauty products are incredibly expensive for Cubans. Take lots with you and give them to your hotel staff. You'll get amazing service.
