[Bertrand Maverice]

TL-DR in advance; If you’re Canadian, American, or European, and have a desire to bang 20 year old olive skinned girls with pretty faces, nice tits and bombastic asses, GET OVER TO CUBA!!!

I was in Cuba from New Year’s until the beginning of February, and I’ll share my experience for those who are interested. I’ll try to limit my positivity and remain even-keeled as I write this, but I’ll begin by saying that 4 out of the 5 hottest chicks I’ve banged in my life happened there so it’s challenging for me to remain objective. But it’s cheap, has great food, nice beaches, perfect weather, and gravity-defying women… so it’s not a place you’re gonna bitch about.

And the girls LOVE white guys and/or westerners. I’d say moreso than in Southeast Asia. I was constantly stared at in a good way. Walking into a bar or lounge it was All Eyes On Me as soon as I walked in. I’d walk down the street or on the beach during the middle of the day and little groups of teenage girls would giggle uncontrollably. I couldn’t eat a steak without getting a girl’s phone number. I couldn’t rent a snorkel without a girl giving me her number. One time I was taking a piss on the side of a wall and some girls were staring at me. I was nervous so I avoided eye contact when I walked by them and out of nowhere they started smiling and giggling. My response to them was “what the fuck!” with a grin on my face and they totally busted up. I asked one girl for her number, and a second one forced her number on me. Funny enough one of those girls became one of my favorites while I was there.

FOOD:
I’ll start with the food because it’s one of the things that separates Cuba from other Latin American places I’ve been to. For instance, in Medellin and Guadalajara I thought the food kind of sucked, while in Rio and Buenos Aires it was a bit pricy. In Cuba it’s both excellent and inexpensive. My two favorite dishes were a marinated beef with peppers and onions (vaca frita) and pernil asado which is a marinated pork shoulder that’s difficult to explain, but you have to try it out there. They do great steaks and beef tenderloins and boy is it cheap. You can also get huge cubana sandwiches at any street corner, and they’re way better than any cubana I’ve tried in Canada or the US. They’ve got great churrasco that is similar in taste and quality as to what I had in Rio at one fifth the price, they just don’t have the waiters bringing the spits to your table. Breakfast consists of a small steak, eggs, and sweet plantains and you’re spending a couple bucks.

GIRLS:
I don’t know what I find more spectacular--the sheer beauty of the girls there or the ease I found in attaining them. I stayed in Havana for the first two weeks of my trip and getting out of there was the best decision I made. I found Havana to be cool at the outset but it wasn’t until after I left that I saw how dope Cuba can be. To put it bluntly, Havana has more tourists than Medellin. It’s FULL of Canadians, which frankly, annoyed the fuck out of me. There’s also a huge semipro scene in Havana as it’s something that both tourists and locals engage in as if it’s no big deal. Twice I was very tempted to pull back semipros (they were banging) but there was something about it that prevented me from going forward. I guess at my age I need to kiss a chick and feel her curves and ass in order to get wood, and the thought of touching a pro just repels me. But the problem I found is that all the bars in Havana were just pull of semipros. I was approaching girls and continually getting getting no resistance, none, to kino, makeouts, whatever. It’s hard to explain but the lack of resistance and the ease of instantly pulling (semipro) was a turnoff.

After Havana I spent 2-3 days each in Las Tunas, Manzanillo and Bayoma before getting to Baracoa. Baracoa is literally my favorite place in the world. I didn’t see one other white dude the whole time I was there. The girls there are as hot as the Cubans you’ll see in LIV and Mynt in South Beach but without the attitude. My first night there I banged one of the hottest chicks in my life, and that high lasted the entire month I was there. The faces of the girls are on par with those in Medellin and the bodies are a million times better. They dress well and use good cosmetics. At the nice bars and lounges every single girl is wearing high heels and a dress showing off their legs, and when they walk their dresses have this rhythmic bounce that is just awesome. I got hit up by maybe 3 prostitutes the entire month I was there and there weren’t any semipros. The city itself was cool too. It used to be the capital of Cuba in Christopher Columbus times so it has a rich history. There are about 5 or so clubs, and maybe 10-15 good bars scattered throughout the city. The main area is the malecon which is a street that goes along the beach. I didn’t have the courage to go into the ‘hoods, but I was told that each one has its own few bars as well.

If you’re going to be outside of Havana or any of the touristy areas, you must rent a car. A car rental in Cuba is cheaper than in Canada/US and it was a total gamechanger. It seemed that the girls’ perception of me changed once I had a car. It’s not that they hit me up for money or anything, I just seemed to morph from being a tourist to someone legit in their eyes. For anyone considering going to Cuba I’ll say this--once I got a car I banged every single girl that I called, and there were plenty of numbers that I didn’t even bother calling. After my first two weeks in Cuba, once I’d figured shit out a bit, I had sex every single day. I’m not exaggerating in saying that I could’ve had a notch every single day if that was my goal, but I had two girls in particular whose company I thoroughly enjoyed and preferred to spend time with them. Having said that I still hit over twenty notches and if I had the stamina as some of you players who are banging three girls a day I probably could’ve hit fifty. Boy I would’ve loved to have experienced that place when I was 22. But if I got an afternoon bang I was more than content to relax on the balcony with my kindle.

You can also rent a chauffeur with a car for 20CUC a day but to me it’s not the same. All the chauffeurs had piece of shit cars, and I’m sure part of my attraction is that I was driving one of the nicer cars out there. You can also get to Baracoa by bus and rent a scooter while in town, but again, it’s not the same. In addition it was so thrilling to drive in a third world country, especially when I was drunk. The first time that I banged a few smokeshows I would drive down the malecon totally blistered while blasting music and yelling in my car. Damn I love that place.



LOGISTICS:
Flight: I flew in from Cancun and it was about $180 to get to Havana and $200 to go back. I bought my ticket at the airport in Cancun and flew the same day. To give a perspective, it was my biggest expense of the trip.

Cash: The exchange rate is 1 USD to 0.9 CUC. That includes the exchange rate difference and bank surcharge, and all banks have the same rate. But if you exchange CAD or Euro the exchange rate is 1:1 USD to CUC. So they convert the CAD to USD first, and then give you that amount in CUC. I went down there with Canadian, US dollars and some leftover Euros I had because I wasn’t sure how the cash worked. So it’s better to go with CAD or Euros so you don’t get the 11% USD tax. Another obvious note to keep in mind is that US ATM cards aren’t going to work, although my Canadian ATM card did. They also have Cuban pesos which aren’t worth much and which you’d only need if you use the city bus or buy a banana from a street vendor. Sometimes I would get change in Cuban pesos and I’d give it away to poor people in the street. I never understood the Cuban peso rate other than that they’re not worth much.

Cell phone: I rented a sim card for 3 CUC a day. I didn’t understand why I had to rent instead of buy but I didn’t make much of an issue about it. The cell phone company is called ETECSA and they have stores everywhere. I had to put 10CUC on my phone three times during my trip, but I was making several calls a day. After 11pm it was free to call landlines from my cell phone, so I used that a ton.

Internet: ETECSA also has internet cafes throughout the country though it’s dialup speed. I found it wasn’t too bad using my phone’s browser while loading mobile pages. For example, pulling up an email using hotmail’s mobile site took about 30 seconds or so. As long as you don’t load images or video it’s bearable.

Car rental: I rented from a place called Cubacar. I got a Volkswagen that was the size of a Jetta (different name) for 20 CAD a day, which I negotiated (I also paid in Canadian dollars).

Language: People at the airport, car rental shop, cellphone shop etc know enough English to explain things. Girls’ English ranged from mediocre to almost nothing. They all know about five basic phrases though, like good morning, how are you, I’m sorry, and Fuck. Girls would either giggle or get horny whenever I said Fuck depending on the context, so it’s a word I used a lot. My spanish is mediocre but it was enough to get by. I also had downloaded the Spanish dictionary for google translate to my phone beforehand, so if a girl or a waitress couldn’t understand me I had her read the translation from my phone.

Casa particular: I had an agent type of guy approach me once I arrived in Baracoa, and he showed me five or so places before I found a place I really liked. Three bedroom, 2000 sq ft with an ocean view, and it was 180 CAD a week (also paid in Canadian dollars). I gave the agent 5 CUC for his time and he was happy. Here are some photos to show you how spacious it was, and also a few of the chicks I brought back:







These girls were about average of what I pulled back, I definitely had significantly hotter though. I do maintain contact with some of the girls and I plan to return in a month so I’m unable to post their pictures. But take my word for it, there are some true stunners over there, and they’re easier than shooting fish in a barrel.
