[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Always wanted to explore Cuba<\/strong>, but got no one to go with? Well, don\u2019t let that stop you. Cuba is the perfect place to explore as a solo traveller. Of course, it may be nerve-wracking to book that plane ticket alone. But you won\u2019t regret it! In this article, we explore why Cuba is the perfect solo travelling destination.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Cuban People Are Incredibly Friendly<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n

It is commonly known that Cuban people love to meet travellers. So, people are going to want to talk to you. Especially, when travelling alone, people are going to approach you more. You\u2019ll never be lonely in Cuba. Cuba is the perfect spot for making friends. As long as you are comfortable and in a safe area, definitely strike up conversations. If for any reason you feel uncomfortable or not in the mood to talk you can simply say \u2018lo siento, estoy ocupado\u2019 which means sorry, I\u2019m busy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You Can Create Your Own Schedule<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n

By travelling alone you get to set your own schedule and timings. Which is perfect, but one thing to note is that you should make a plan beforehand. Get help from an expert who knows Cuba well, to help to map your trip. A Love Cuba specialist <\/a>can help you with this.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Street Food is Perfect For Solo Travellers<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n

One of the best ways to explore the local culture is to grab Cuban street food on the go. Not only will it save you money but you get to sample some of the finest foods. You can sample a whole host of snacks from the side of the road like fruit and veg, rice and beans and of course, plantain crisps as well as cooling ice-creams. A top tip is, if you see all the locals queuing at a specific vendor, that\u2019s what you want to try.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Drink mojitos with the locals<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n

Just because you\u2019re travelling alone, doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t enjoy a drink at the bar or even dance the night away. A tip would be to keep going back to one place to build familiarity so that you can get talking to people. Cubans are famous for their dancing, so don\u2019t be surprised if you\u2019re led on the dance floor for a spin.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
