Cuba, Family travel
I was in Cuba towards the Resorts with my family and the workers there were very nice to me and my family. I felt safe walking at night around by myself and met some great people from other countries.

I welt safe when in groups, but that might be because I only speak rudimentary Spanish. The food was mainly chicken, rice and beans. It is very affordable, but can get repetitive after a couple of weeks. Especially for a vegan diet its not the best country. The people were amazing though, very mice and open to chat. And the country is beautiful and very interesting with its history. I don't think you get quite this authentic an experience in most countries anymore.

Cuba is a much underrated country. It has so much to offer culture wise. The people are very friendly. It’s common to stay at peoples private houses, therefore one supports the locals. The food was great and I can’t say anything bad about Cuba. However as a woman I wouldn’t travel solo again because men are very forward in approaching and flirting.

Havana, like any other place, has its good and bad neighborhoods. In some places you can walk confidently and in others you should be extra careful. At night, I wouldn’t walk alone or carry my phone carelessly at all times, because if opportunity presents someone could take advantage of this. I could walk alone at night if I had to but I would always try to have someone with me or avoid long distances if possible. Kidnap or murder are definitely not common it’s mostly robbery what worries me the most but with due precaution you can feel at ease about it. In this case I’m always happy to...

Havana all in all is a safe city, compared to other LATAM cities. It used to be very safe, but this past few years it has gotten a bit dangerous. I wouldn't recommend walking alone at night or talking to strangers everywhere; most of them end up asking for money.

About me
I'm a geological engineer and currently work as a technical support worker at a software development company, so I have plenty of freedom of movement. I love nature and outdoor activities: hiking, diving, camping, reading, and dancing. I'd love to meet strong women who want to explore my country and help them get to know it.
