Cuba. That's where I'd love to go. The old cities, the buildings, the cars, the beaches... It all sparks my imagination.

On my first day in Havana, I'd buy a nice guayabera so I can feel part of the place and not look so much like a tourist! (But I think all tourists wear guayaberas...) 

What I'd love to see there is that great mixture of Spanish colonial buildings, American mid-century architecture and Soviet-style buildings. I think all of that makes for one of the most special cities in the world. 

The times around the Revolution are particularly interesting to me, and there’s a lot I should learn about it. It was one of the most important events in the history of the 20th century and I’d like to get a closer idea of what it was like.


Listening to some Cuban jazz is high on my list. That piano... It is one of the coolest in the universe, if you ask me.



Oh, and don’t get me started on the old cars around…

    Wow, the truth is that I had never been interested in Cuba, but from your words I see that this is a very interesting country and that it has many things to offer.

    I had never heard so much about Cuba, I always heard about the bad things about the country like the economy, but it's good to hear about the good and interesting things there.

    What a beautiful country to choose, full of history, beautiful landscapes and even more beautiful people. I was lucky enough to visit Cuba in 2018 and i only carry good memories in my heart, all thanks to the beautiful people who live there and despite all the adversities as a nation, they dance and laugh to the fullest.

    (I think that as a course we should do a Guayaberas party as a farewell at the end of the year hahaha)

    Take care, see you!!!

    It doesn't matter if tourists wear guayaberas, if that makes you feel less of a tourist that's fine! Haha, On the other hand, did you know that it has snowed only once in Cuba?

My dream job

  Ok, I’ll start by saying that I love my job as a teacher of English and feel lucky to get paid for doing it. Having said that, my dream job would be as a restorer of classic cars. I love the way they look, sound, smell and move. Those awesome machines full of lights to turn on, buttons to push and levers to pull fill me with joy, and they can be relatively practical too! The process of bringing them back to their glory days is fascinating. When you see them in perfect condition, it’s like a window into the past. I also love learning about their historical context and about the people who drove them when they were new. There’s no elderly person I won’t ask about the car they drove when they were young. Sometimes, they think that’s an odd question, but they usually tell me some interesting story.   Also, if you’re good at it, you can make a decent living. I don’t have enough skills as a mechanic, though. I should take a course or enroll in a night school program and become a c...

Time travel to the past or future

  Time travel to the past or future At first I thought that I’d like to travel to the past, as I’m a nostalgic guy who loves his Beatles and ’67 Ford Mustangs. But then I started thinking about the state of things in the present and was intrigued by what lies ahead for us. Will we ever realize we’re heading straight for the abyss? Will we be able to solve global warming? Will we need to leave Earth and find some other planet to start our lives again? And another scary thought: will AI take over control of the world eventually? I must admit I’m quite pessimistic about the whole thing. We need a paradigm shift to start doing things differently, but that doesn’t seem to be round the corner. On the other hand, I have faith in young people. They’re starting to see things differently from my generation and those before. It won’t be easy because reactions against new ways of doing things are going to be strong. Too many people will lose money and privileges if the status quo is disturbed....
