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.

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

Just another day in Old Havana. Anthony Bourdain said it best ... utterly enchanting. I can't believe I'm really here!

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.

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.

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
