here's nowhere in the world remotely like Cuba:
miles and miles of white-sand beaches, a culture
blended from Spanish, African, American and Carib-
bean influences – and a way of life born of economic
and political isolation. Armed with a decent guidebook
(Internet access is poor), a secure money belt stocked with Canadian
dollars and a non-U.S. credit card, you'll find travelling solo here
refreshingly easy and relatively safe.

Cuba
A solo trip to this isolated-yet-magnificent country is not only
