Find the Best of the Best

Plenty of blogs, including this one, will offer you lists’ of the best this and the best that.  If a community or culture is famous for something, there is a writer on the internet who thinks that you should visit the spot that they enjoy the most.  But their opinion isn’t always one you should follow.  So rather than give you another list of the top ten whatever you need to see on your next holiday, we’ve decided to help you pick the best – this way you can enjoy the sense of adventure you get when going somewhere completely unknown.

First, follow the locals.  Now it would be a bit creepy if you hung out in the office district of a town and just followed large groups of people to their local bar or restaurant when they get off work.  But you should do something similar: when you’re out, try to spot where the locals congregate.  A crowded shop filled with citizens is likely to give you the best and most authentic experience.

Second, ask the shop-keep, waiter, or bartender what they serve the most of.  If it’s the most popular, it usually means that it’s also the best that the place has.  Also, ask your server what they like.  You can often find undiscovered gems this way.

Set Sail For Cuba

Cuba is an amazing and exotic country that offers much for travelers to see and do.  Unfortunately, if you’re an American you can’t experience any of it.  For the rest of the world, however, Cuba is an open and inviting country with miles of sandy beaches, warm waters, great food and welcoming locals.

And getting there is cheap and easy.  If you were from the states, you would have to fly to a coastal Mexican city, find a boat to the country, and convince a Cuban customs official to exchange not stamping your passport in for a few hundred dollars.  None of which do we recommend – even if it is easily done.  I you’re from another country, getting to Cuba is easily reached the same way without the need for bribes.

But flying cheaply to Mexico and taking a boat, though a great adventure, isn’t always doable for travellers with limited time.  Fortunately for them, direct flights to Cuba are cheaper than flights to just about any other Caribbean country.

Once you land in the capital, grab a taxi to any of the hacienda’s or upscale hotels in downtown.  The rent on a room in Cuba is very cheap and plenty of hotels that were once American owned resorts cater to the budget traveller who still wants a bit of luxury.
