Take an armchair adventure to colorful Cuba with Havana locals who will share the island’s treasures and answer questions about daily life there as well as how to plan legal, safe and wonderful travel. Cuba has long been a destination for vacationers from other countries, and has recently become very accessible for US citizens as well, even given fluctuating US policy. Cuba’s rich history, strong tradition of education and the arts, living relics from architecture to classic cars, and gorgeous beaches and countryside are as magnetic as its people’s warmth. On this evening, Laura Quincy Jones and Yasser Torriente-Rodriguez, who currently live in vibrant Havana with their baby daughter Rosa and run a company for artisticallly-minded travelers, will share their passion for the extraordinary people and lively culture of Cuba. We'll discuss travel tips and adaptations for the post-Covid-19 context, cultural highlights including music and dance festivals, health and safety in Havana, and grassroots projects that inspire Cuban community and visitors from abroad alike. There will be plenty of time for Q&A.
