Gabby's Guide to... Cuba! 🇨🇺
Gabby @packslight
Cuba is a country, not many people go to. But you're the exception! You're planning your trip to Cuba, right? Maybe you're going on a guided tour, or maybe you're trying to plan your own adventure.
I spent more than 9 days traversing the country in 2024 and it was quite the experience (don't worry, I won't spoil it!) But, I will give you some worthwhile recommendations.
You trust me enough to buy this guide, so you're officially my friend. And as my friend, I'm giving you all access to my private "Saved" list on Google Maps.
This guide includes
👉 9-day guide: Havana → Vinales → Cienfuego → Trindad
👉 Activities and experiences to make your trip memorable
👉 5 accommodation recommendations
👉 Instagrammable spots worth seeing! (from a full-time travel influencer, so trust me)
👉 Cultural experiences that you'll never forget
🙏🏽 My honest experiences, opinions, and reviews of each suggestion

Definitely fun to come to if you've have a few drinks. A very trippy, Gaudy-esque mosaic village great for photos. Surrounding local artists as well.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Gabby @packslight
Hi, I’m Gabby 👋🏽 I own Packs Light and am a full-time digital nomad from the United States. I've touched 55+ countries, and I'm a true lover of immersive, cultural, and adventurous travel experiences! 🪂
I was born in California but moved around often thanks to my parents—dad was in the military, mom was a travel agent. Thanks to my nomadic childhood I became confident in navigating this world (even as a young, Black, curly-haired sassy little girl!)
At age 17 I went on my first solo trip to backpack Iceland. At age 21 I studied abroad in Dubai, UAE for 9 months. And by age 24 had completely abandoned my budding engineering career to pursue my dream of being a full-time travel influencer!
Now I have experience in 50+ countries and 6 continents, have accumulated 800,000 followers, and have a lifetime of tips, trips, stories, and recommendations to share.
I love helping others see the world. I love helping people explore past the first page of Google. And I love turning travel bucket lists into exciting stories to impress your friends and family at the dinner table.
Follow me, and let me guide you through your next trip!
