destination: CUBA scuba

WHY SHOULD YOU GO?

The bursts of color. The musty scent of roasted peanuts. The fascinating conversations—even the sidewalks reflect locals’ statements on their nation’s complexity of change. Cuba is calling! From raucous Havana, swirling with life, to the Caribbean beauty of the countryside, this journey will urge you to challenge your perspective and connect with Cuban life through dialogue with the people. You’ll converse with influential and progressive thinkers about timely topics such as Cuban society, living abroad as a Cuban, and U.S./Cuban relations. You’ll follow Havana’s historical architectural clues with historians and architects to discover the intersections of Cuba’s past and present. And you’ll experience firsthand what it’s like to be a contemporary artist, tobacco farmer, or proprietor of a private restaurant in an ever-shifting economy. And go scuba diving!
