It all started with a school trip to Belgium at the age of 11, strange accents, funny food, cars on the wrong side of the road. I was hooked. 35 years on and I’m no better, in fact I’ve got steadily worse, visiting over 120 countries just to feed my addiction. From Europe it was on to America, then to south East Asia, then it got harder, Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia, truly intoxicating.

I returned to Cuba after 12 years and found it to be as fascinating as ever, times are changing so go soon and experience this unique destination before they serve fries with your Mojito!
