My Recent Cuba Trip and Life With Brand New Perspectives

Destination Cayo Santa Maria, Cuba

First Published Date : January 28, 2011

Living in one of the wealthiest nations on Earth where resources are plenty and where many of us can afford to buy anything we want, we often forget how fortunate we are and take everything for granted. My recent trip to Cuba added brand new dimensions to my life, and I am more grateful to God (or mother nature, if you don’t believe in God) than ever before for what we have.

To help you visualize what I really mean, consider that in Cuba:

– You have no freedom.

– You are not allowed to start a business and make money (like anywhere else
on Earth).

– There is no wage difference between a highly-educated professional and a general worker.

– You don’t own anything. Everything belongs to the government.

– Let’s say you have a cow and you get milk from this cow; you wont be able to keep this milk and the cow belongs to the state as well.

– You are prohibited from using the Internet and can’t read any newspaper and books as well.

– You are not allowed to leave your own province.

– Boarding on a plane and going to a foreign country is an impossible dream which will never come true.

– And much more.

However, there are good things I have noticed in Cuba as well. Today, I am going to take you to my Entrepreneur Journey site to read a very different type of article based on my Cuba experience. Let me disappoint you ahead of time if you are hoping to read a nice travel-log type of article, because it isn’t. Although it has some travel elements, it is more filled with socio-economic aspects – the Cuba I have seen and analyzed from different angles. What I can tell you for sure is that you will like it – because it is different.
