My wife and I recently went on a ten-day trip to Havana. It was the first time back in the island for me after 18 years. My experience was an incredible one, surpassing all expectations. I hope to return soon and often to Cuba, a place that will always be close to my heart.

I have always wanted to visit Cuba. You must have an amazing story to tell about living in Cuba.

I try to tell that story (and others) in my writing. It’s definitely a fascinating place, and despite the distance, it’ll always be a home for me.

Is it true Cuba is stuck in a 1950s time warp?

That’s oversimplifying it, which has sadly been the case with the way Cuba is usually portrayed here in the U.S. Yes, aspects of the country can seem stuck in time, but a lot of things have changed, especially the people. And for every 1950s car one can find, for instance, there’s a Soviet-era or modern car as well. Cuba is simply different from what people are used to seeing in first world countries.
