Where are these private independent Casa's and how does one book / rent them? (People talk about them all the time but I don't see them?

I had an AirBnB in Vedado. Perfectly easy.

I'm here in Havana and I have no answers or contacts on Badoo.

Two girls texted me first and after some chatting, they gave me their numbers and now I am Whatsapp'ing them.

I also initiated texting to about 10 girls, half of them responded, but only one gave me her number.

Does anybody know how to go to Guanabo playa del este from Havanna with public transport or any other way then taxi?

When I mentioned money or gifts, nobody gave any quote. One clearly said she is interested in meeting new people and does not expect money or gifts.

I feel strange. Could this be some sort of scams?

CUP not CUC. Yep.

I'm sorry Muzungufotsy, you're right, it's CUP!

Not really a scam, she's playing the long game. The US is letting in 30,000 migrants a month, but they need a gringo sponsor. She desperately wants out, and knows her long term prospects are much better if you see her as a girlfriend, not a working girl. Even if you don't bring her to the US, she's hoping you'll become attached enough to send her money and support her.

But be careful, the moment she steps across the border, all bets are off. You have served your purpose.

Have fun, but don't fall in love. She will convince you that you are the love of her life, (and it only took two days to realize this LOL) but she only sees you as a wallet and a golden ticket.

When you open "people nearby" menu on the left side, if you make the selection and type Havana you'll have to find "ciudad de la Habana" and select the distance icon (how far from la Habana you'd want to search) If you type Habana, then this page comes up automatically, otherwise there are a bunch of Havanas that show up and you have to search for ciudad de la Habana.

Let's know how things go for you.

Mondo.

Thanks Mondo! It works for me now.

Won't give any concrete advice until I'm there and get to meet the girls. But for now I have 3 beauties lined up, one of which is really drop dead gorgeous (had a video call with her already), she quoted me $100 but accepted 4000 CUP almost immediately when I told her 100 $ is too much and best I can do is 4000.

Now she's sending me messages all the time, I guess she doesn't want to lose a customers interest.

Just message every girl you find attractive, after a few initial words just ask if she wants to meet and for how much. Worked on every girl I messaged.
