Instagram post 2147027238578433484_2088484345 "For centuries, Cuba's greatest resource has been its people." - Pico Iyer . Back to the unique life and sights of Cuba! It's been a while since I've posted a photo on my feed ** check out my DAILY STORIES for current trips & journeys** So let's dive back in to my great Havana adventure and the wonderful people I met along the way! . #havana #havanastreets #people #friends #habana #travel #travelphotography #allsmiles #wander #explore #cuba #cuban #instacuba #lovecuba #travelcuba #oldhavana #havanaclub #lahabana
Instagram post 2116382691288691150_2088484345 “Yes, the future is here. But the past too is everywhere. The buildings, the cars, the gears of the whole system are still largely stuck in time.” - Anthony Bourdain . No filter needed... just the beauty and magic of a Havana night. . #cuba #havana #cuban #instacuba #lovecuba #travelcuba #oldhavana #habana #havanaclub #cubancigars #havanastreets #havanaohnana #lahabana #cubancars #sunset #road #palmtrees #travel #travelgram #wanderlust #explore #adventure #travelphotography #vacation #holiday #traveladdicted #nostalgia #anthonybourdain
Instagram post 2115796291417807227_2088484345 "Love yourself for who you are... if you're happy from within, you're the most beautiful person and your smile is your best asset." - Ileana D'Cruz . It was a pleasure staying at Esther's Casa Particular in Central Havana. You won't find other tourists in this part of the city but you will find genuine and authentic Cubans -- like this strong and independent woman who owns and operates her own casa. I learned a lot from Esther about Cuba's history, challenges and passionate culture ... and I was reminded of the importance of a hopeful future. #lovecuba . #cuba #havana #cuban #instacuba #travelcuba #oldhavana #habana #cubano #habanaclub #portrait #cubatravel #portrait #smile #laugh #woman #femmetravel #womenempowerment #travel #travelgram #wanderlust #explore #adventure #travelphotography #traveladdicted #peopletopeople #humans #love #traveltheworld
Instagram post 2114987155038094470_2088484345 “However you feel about the government, however you feel about the last 55 years, there aren’t any places in the world that look like this. I mean, it’s utterly enchanting.” - Anthony Bourdain . Just another day in Old Havana. Anthony Bourdain said it best ... utterly enchanting. I can't believe I'm really here! . #cuba #havana #cuban #instacuba #lovecuba #travelcuba #visitcuba #american #oldhavana #habana #havanaclub #havanastreets #lahabana #travel #travelgram #wanderlust #femmetravel #womenwhoexplore #explore #adventure #travelphotography #vacation #holiday #traveladdicted #color #culture #nofilter #amazing #cubancars #streetphotography @afarmedia @natgeotravel @cntraveler @travelandleisure @united
Instagram post 2112757560029195066_2088484345 “All Cuba seems waiting for something ... for whatever it is that happens next.” - Anthony Bourdain . When you book your ticket from the US to Cuba, you’re required to select a Visa category — the most common, “Support for the Cuban People.” You click a button from your computer and don't think about it again until you get there … but with Cuba, you understand the importance of your trip and the privilege of being allowed into a "forbidden" country. After meeting the locals and hearing their stories ... I TRULY felt like I was there IN SUPPORT of the PEOPLE! . These few portraits of Cubans I met on the street are a great example of the kindness found in the culture. (swipe) Everyone was extremely friendly, patient with my elementary Spanish, happy to pose for a photo, and extremely generous with the little they possess. The cars are awesome, the atmosphere is unique, but the people … the people truly make the country. . #cuba #havana #cuban #instacuba #lovecuba #travelcuba #oldhavana #habana #cubano #habanaclub #portrait #cubatravel #streetphotography #havanastreets #travel #travelgram #wanderlust #explore #adventure #travelphotography #vacation #holiday #traveladdicted #peopletopeople #humans #love #traveltheworld
Instagram post 2109185012003566512_2088484345 “Havana, for all its smells, sweat, crumbling walls, isolation, and difficult history, is the most romantic city in the world.” — Mark Kurlansky . Old Havana! Where the cars are as colorful as the streets they roam. The slick 1950s Chevy, the vibrantly dilapidated buildings, and the woman watching the world go by from her Thursday afternoon window ... what a cool place. . #cuba #havana #cohiba #cuban #instacuba #lovecuba #travelcuba #oldhavana #habana #havanaclub #cubancigars #havanastreets #travel #travelgram #wanderlust #solotravel #explore #adventure #travelphotography #vacation #holiday #traveladdicted #streets #color #oldcar #vintage #summer #cubancars #chevy #1950chevy
Instagram post 2108311165935052118_2088484345 "As an American, Cuba is one of those places that’s forbidden…and magical.” — Rebecca Whistler . Here we go ... off to Cuba!! 🙌✈💕 . Some of you know -- if we’re friends IRL or on Facebook -- that I post many of my IG photos AFTER I return from a trip. I START posting during my adventure but then get swept-up in the REAL LIFE excitement, experience, and fleeting moment of it all. . So to my awesome & not-paid-for IG audience of 700 followers (LOVE YOU, GUYS!) — I want to be upfront about my 48-hour trip to Cuba ... I successfully completed the adventure 2 weeks ago! It was fast and furious, complete with Cohiba cigars, Cuban Rum, 1950s convertibles, and a 24-hour power outage in Central Havana!! . I fully documented the trip with photos & videos -- b/c really, I wasn’t quite sure if Americans could travel to Cuba until I boarded the plane! I’m excited to share my adventure with you guys, and I kick it off with a glimpse of my favorite, made-it-safely-through-customs Cuban souvineers! 😊 - Julie . #cuba #havana #cohiba #cuban #instacuba #lovecuba #travelcuba #oldhavana #habana #cubancigars #havanaclub #travel #travelgram #wanderlust #explore #adventure #bucketlist #womenwhoexplore #travelphotography #vacation #holiday #traveladdicted #flatlay #passport

Instagram post 2091038360235549802_2088484345 "Have you ever heard the wonderful silence just before the dawn? Or the hush of a country road at night? Each one is different and beautiful, if you listen carefully." - Norton Juster . Always good to be back home in Texas. The skies, the sunsets, the backroads and ranches ... I must admit, I do love it all. . #texas #texasforever #texashillcountry #texaslife #texascountry #hillcountry #nature #landscape #beautiful #clouds #sky #sunset #color #light #sky_perfection #nofilter #windmill #countryside #naturelovers #travel #travelgram #wanderlust #solotravel #explore #adventure #travelphotography #roadtrip #silhouette @texashighways
Instagram post 2088245926304744114_2088484345 “No water, no life. No blue, no green.” – Sylvia Earle . Somedays you get in the car and just keep driving. On good days, like today, you find yourself lost in the countryside and the road gives way to beauty beyond belief. What a great Sunday drive! . #explore #roadtrip #daytrip #sunday #texas #blanco #river #water #cypress #tree #nature #landscape #beautiful #color #nofilter #travel #travelgram #wanderlust #solotravel #summer #calm #peace #tx #drive @texashighways @texashillcountrywine @texaslifestylemagazine @texasparkswildlife @blancoriveroutfitters
Instagram post 2087906129010947939_2088484345 "Perhaps I was simply a tourist, ambling his way from sight to sight with no greater goal than to accumulate memories and experience - much like yourselves." - Alastair Reynolds . Always interesting to come home to Austin and see a variety of changes ... more new buildings, more tourists, more scooters, more people. It does make for great people watching. . #austin #texas #tourist #people #art #sunday #summer #peoplewatching #streetart #postcard #colorful #atx #city #travel #wanderlust #vacation #summervacation #explore
