When my girl Erika mentioned to me that she wanted to visit Cuba, my instant response was “so when do you want to buy tickets?”

And just like that, within a couple days we both had our visas and direct flights to Havana Cuba!

As Americans, it’s unfortunate that we have to deal with such strict travel regulations to travel to Cuba. It’s not impossible and a little research goes a long way. Here’s a quick tip for my fellow American travelers. There are 12 categories of authorize travel to Cuba for Americans, always choose Support For The Cuban People. For an in-dept travel guide on how to travel to Cuba as an American, check out ExpertVagabond’s website and articles.

We spent five adventurous days exploring everything Havana has to offer! We mingled with the locals, drank one too many mojitos, and salsa danced the nights away.

Here are some of my favorite photos from our girls trip to Havana Cuba. Enjoy! 🙂
