    I finally made it to Cuba! A country that's been very high on my bucket list, and I took full advantage of going there when it suddenly became easier for Americans to visit on a tourist visa. Cuba is one of the most fascinating, off-the-beaten-path places I've ever been -- and it really holds a special charm that I am slightly obsessed with. From Havana's beautiful architecture to the tobacco fields in Viñales to the lovely beaches all around the coastlines -- find out how many things I could buy with $10 in Cuba in my new episode of this series!
    Please Note that this video is about a year old (I am reposting the entire '$10 series' as I only shared it on FB and not YT). As you'll notice, the editing is not great and it moves way too fast, but I still wanted to share it with you anyways. As always, thanks for watching my videos!

    Did the Cuba government allowed you to do forex outside the port? Because they have a different exchange rate for the tourist that makes $1.00 to P1.00. I just felt that its a robbed, your American dollar value for Cuban peso is pretty much its equivalence. I went to Cuba as a second cruises to ever landed in Havana. I pretty much discretely spend dollars in shops.

    • @k.lunarr
      @k.lunarr 6 років тому

      If you go to Cuba on a cruise they will take you to the tourist ports which will of course rob the American and Cuban pesos of their value. They make tourists coming in from those ports pay as if it were equal to American dollars. What I suggest you do if you decide to go again, is to travel by plane and then you can exchange. It's much easier and you're not robbed as much as if you go through a tourist port!
