Travel Cuba – What we discovered

Last updated on November 2nd, 2019

As long term international house sitters, one of our passions is travel and a destination we have both wanted to visit for a long time is Cuba.

With house sits arranged in Mexico during December last year, and March this year, it seemed like February might be the ideal time to visit.

We are always very aware of differentiating between house sitting (when each assignment has a range of responsibilities), and our own personal travel time, free from obligations to others.

We booked return tickets from Cancun for just over US $200 each, and planned four weeks exploring all Cuba has to offer.

THIS IS CUBA 2017

We don’t just want to write another set of simple “how-to-travel-tips” blogs. Instead, in the following series of articles we will tell all – the good, the bad, and the ugly.
