Havana

[KingSanto]

EMode,

I haven't forgotten about that second breakfast spot. I'll be checking it out when I touch down later this week.

KingSanto.


I'm glad La Maravilla is still there and you guys are liking it. I had breakfast there but I also had lunch there once and the Ropa Vieja was delicious.

When I was there last year, we also had breakfast at another restaurant on the other side of the square on the south-west corner of Lamparilla and Bernaza. The bacon there was incredible. Can anyone confirm if that restaurant is still there? I don't remember seeing any signs, so I have no idea of the name, but it was right on that corner.

[KingSanto]

Finally, someone that RTFF. Before I ever stepped foot in Havana in January, I read everything on this forum from Mid-2023 through December 2024 (about 18 months like you). It's invaluable. I STILL had a hard time on my first trip. I can't imagine what it would've been like going in blind.

I have heard that Canadians can register their number with LaNave. It's not so much that Americans "aren't allowed". It's more so that we're not going to get the confirmation message so yeah.

If you are absolutely, 100% positive that you can receive calls while in Cuba, then maybe you won't need a Cuban SIM. However, I'm not exactly sure whether a Cuban (the LaNave driver) would be able to call YOU. So I'd probably buy a cheap tourist SIM just in case. That way if the driver can't call your number, you can always pop the SIM in and change your number on LaNave.

KingSanto.


In the meantime, I have a question about the requirement for a Cuban sim. Most, if not all, people say that I need a Cuban sim with a Cuban number for La Nave. Some have mentioned that you need this for Whatsapp. I wonder if this is because most people have US numbers? For example, I have a Canadian number and I was able to download and setup La Nave, receiving the confirmation email to my Canadian number. Also, my Canadian plan gives me free texts and calls and data when in various countries, including Cuba.

Assuming that I can freely use my Canadian number, receive SMS and calls, and use data using my home provider, do I still need a Cuban sim for anything? If I can tick this off as one less thing to arrange, it would be a win.

Thanks.

[KingSanto]

Thanks for that Jiniterinator. I never thought we would see those multipliers again after ETECSA changed the rules. Definitely going to take advantage of that. Whenever I touch down, I'm still going to refill it with the max 360, but with this promo, at least I can be sure that I'll have a balance for the times that I'm in Havana twice within 30 days and can't add to my balance (like I'm about to do now LOL).

KingSanto.


BTW there is currently a promo (ends 8/26) with Cubacel where you get 5 X main balance and unlimited Internet (12-7 AM). They must be desperate for US dollars but this is a killer deal for those who will go more than once or have friends or family living in Cuba. Go to the Etecsa site and they have links to the recharge sites that take US credit cards and PayPal. Recargasacuba works, just tried it. Interestingly my usual Sueancuba site does not list the promo.

Basically you get a balance in pesos that can be applied to data later. While data expires, the CUP balance does not. So one can tap into it as needed like a bank account. So Cubans without friends or fam abroad are sadly SOL because they really screw them on peso-purchased plans. This convoluted process, only available online with US credit cards, is to get yummy $USDs instead of those dirty pesos.

[KingSanto]

Exchange it to USD. You would be fine if you were staying at a resort, but in the wild in Havana, it will likely be hard to find someone readily willing to exchange CAD for pesos.

Yes, you will be able to easily change your LaNave number. I've changed mine twice with no issues whatsoever.

KingSanto.


Hey guys, my trip is coming up soon! Quick question is it easy to exchange Canadian currency in Cuba, and does anyone know the current rate? Or would it be better to convert CAD to USD first, then to CUP?

Also, I was able to set up my La Nave app account and can transfer money to it. I noticed there's an option to update the phone number, so I'm hoping that once I get my Cuban number, I can just switch it over.

KingSanto.Oh man I'm so envious that you're going this week. I can't get away until November. I'm going to have to seriously reconsider this work thing.

Have a great trip!

[Fur Jacket]

Thanks guys!

I've been once before so I know the lay of the land. Last time I went in blind. This time I'm going in with a ton of notes LOL.

[KingSanto]

I've got a major work project coming up so we'll be in the same boat soon. Looks like I may not be able to make it back again until November myself. I'm going to have to go extra hard (no pun intended) this trip to hold me over.

KingSanto.

Guys, I read everywhere in the reports that normal price for a girl is 10 k Cuban pesos. When I pull up the exchange rate for example today that equals $416,39. Even 1000 cup ($41,63) wouldn't exactly be cheap. Most probably I overlook something, can someone please advise?

[EMode]

Use https://eltoque.com/tasas-de-cambio-de-moneda-en-cuba-hoy as the official street exchange rate. You're probably looking at the bank exchange rate. 10 k CUP is about $25 USD.

[EMode]

Thats a huge difference then. Thanks!If you look back through the posts, there are some really good tips on how to safely exchange your money. Last time I was there, I got my airbnb host to have some money ready for me at the apartment. Just make sure you don't get anything smaller than than 500 CUP bills. It's incredible how exchanging a few $100 USD piles up in CUP. I'm still kicking myself for not getting pics of the massive stacks we had when we exchanged $600 at once. It would make for a hilarious "flexing" pic.

[Nomars777]

Checking with the Airbnb host is the best first step. If they can get close to El Toque and give you big bills as my recent ones have done, like 500 and 1 k notes, then that's best.

If not, check the Compra why Venta USD Telegram group to get folks who will come to your location and make an exchange at the market / El Toque rate.

Also there are street vendors, but you have to be EXTREMELY cautious, as oftentimes they only have small bills and may mix in fake ones, which then you're stuck with.


Thats a huge difference then. Thanks!

Hey guys, I just returned from my first trip to Havana. I spent 16 days in an apartment in centro Habana. Living in a building with regular Cubans was quite the experience. I will say that especially in the first week my emotional reaction to the situation in Havana was a hinderance. If you are an emotional person you really need to prepare for this. I did kind of come to terms with things and still managed to have some fun. San Raf was Disneyland at first but after a while you start to see what's really going on there and a lot of it is pretty disgusting. For example when you realize why the older woman is walking up and down all night with the obviously too young girl.

As far as the girls in Cuba I think they are all just amazing. I had like 8 different ones some repeats some just once. They were all in the 20 year old plus or minus range. Girls seem to be happy with 10 k although they will come for 5 k. With the current exchange rate that worked out to us 12.50 which is just stupid. If they came for 5 k I would tell them if they do a very good job I will give them a tip which I always ended up doing. An extra 3 to 5 k. All performances were either good or excellent I can't say I had any bad ones. A few San Raf girls and the rest freelance types. The San Raf girls are quick to head out after the job is done but they didn't rush which was good. The others likes to hang out or sleep over which costs a little more generally. BBBJ seems to be standard. CIM is usually ok. I like to play it safe but raw dogging definitely seems to be acceptable for a lot of girls.

Badoo seems to be the go to for girls. I don't speak Spanish very well so I like to contact them there to start the convo. There are San Raf girls and freelance types on badoo. Response rate is about 20 percent. You have to get them when they are active and move right over to whatsapp. I don't drink or party and I don't speak much Spanish but I can definitely see if someone speaks Spanish and likes to party Havana would be an absolute goldmine.

I only met one other guy from the USA While I was there. I am sure there were more but I couldn't find any but I would say USA Citizens are the minority of foreigners there.

I really really want to go back but my return to the USA Is making me question if I will. My initial interview at CBP Miami went south fast. The guy asked what I was doing in Cuba I said I was there to support the Cuban people he made a grin like "ya right". He then asked me how much cash I brought and how much I am returning with. The difference was 1000 so he then said "that's not much support 1000 dollars in 16 days". So ya that's how it was going. He then referred me to secondary inspection. Again a lot of questions and search of all my stuff. I thought everything was going fine and then the officer told me to unlock my phone so he could go through it. I was caught off guard for sure. I resisted at first which caused escalation. Eventually I gave in and unlocked my phone. They took it away for about 30 minutes then came back and said I was free to go. I mean there's nothing terrible on my phone other than pictures and videos that are private and all my chats with working girls. Hopefully that is the end of this but who knows. I'm sure they took a backup of my phone but idk what they do with it. I ended up missing my connection and had to spend the night in Miami. Anyway that's just a warning for my USA Friends. Obviously CBP does not like the idea of me traveling to Cuba so for that reason alone I might not return.

A girl and her boyfriend tried to extort me. Long story short I did not pay the money but a huge headache and sadly I can not publish the details. I have been to Havana several times over the past 15 yrs with some great memories but things have really gone downhill over the past six months imo especially for the Cubans. I will miss the place but have no plans to return ever again unless the situation changes dramatically.

Anyhow I have about 40 USD in CUP and a few dozen 5 HR Nauta wifi cards left over. If you are in the US and want to buy them hit me up. I will sell everything at market price.

For someone who was planning to go from the US. When I head there it will be for 10 days:

1) would you say to avoid CBP, it's better to have a planned stop to an adjacent monger country like Mexico or Colombia (even for 1 day) before heading back to the US?

2) My plan for online hookups was tinder, Have you tried it? But its good to see Badoo works too.

And obviously the old Havana and san raf area for ground hunting.

3) I didn't get what you mean by, 'you start to see what's really going on there and a lot of it is pretty disgusting' . ' old women walking with younger ones', isn't that old hoes been hunting just like younger ones?

I would say its just better to be upfront and honest about where you are going and where you were. The US gvt has ways to know things and find out things that I don't think any of us should be testing.

I got banned by tinder a while back and haven't cared enough to make a new account so I can't speak to tinder but badoo had more than I could even handle.

When I say San Raf is disgusting after a while its many things. The stench of urine because people piss in the entrance of closed up stores. There are hustlers everywhere telling you they can find you beautiful girls when there are literally beautiful girls all around you. All of the people who talk to you and then just have "one question". Its not enjoyable overall. The older women walking around with the young girls are not there to find a man for themselves. Figure it out.

[Cabroncito]

"girl refuses to leave" scam followed by "angry brother shows up unexpectedly" extortion/scam. This was a regular I had been seeing for several months and I met her family so there was a level of trust. People are desperate and blackmail is more common now.

[FlagRunner77]

It's for anyone that attempts to top up their permanent line with cash on the island. The Cuban government is hungry for dollars so they imposed this new restriction in order to force Cubans overseas into helping their relatives by paying in dollars / euros for those packages you mentioned.

As for those on the island, if they run out of the standard 6 GB before those 30 days are up, they can add more starting at 3300 pesos for an additional 3 GB (and it goes higher from there for higher amounts of data) which obviously no regular Cuban can afford. Effectively cutting the Cuban people off from the outside world in exchange for more dollars - what else is new.

Don't get me started on KYC for Bitcoin - I could go on for days. You don't sound like a boomer at all. It really is an insane intrusion of privacy. See if you can find a way. If not, then I have a couple ideas on how we'll make it work. Just give us a heads up here whichever way it goes.

KingSanto.Speaking of Bitcoin privacy intrusion. As if the KYC wasn't bad enough. I can just about live with that. I used a well-known canadian-based institution to purchase crypto. All seemed to go well at the time, but after 24 hours I still hadn't received the crypto so I called them. They told me that the purchase was on hold pending confirmation of the reason for purchase. I gave a general 'online purchase' response but they demanded to know the name of the website. I told them it was none of their business and they refused to proceed with the crypto purchase. I wonder how "Purchasing a subscription to International Sex Guide. NL" would go down! I don't mind crypto purchases being attributed to me, but that association to have on some file somewhere is too much (no offence, ISG!

[FlagRunner77]

The VPN company needs to be non-American in order for it to work in Cuba; an American company won't allow you to connect in from Cuba. NordVPN is based in the Netherlands and operates out of Panama so it's fine.

KingSanto.Indeed. I use Nord and recommend it highly. Frankly, if anyone is using a US-based VPN, I'd suggest you have much bigger problems than worrying about apps not working in Cuba!

[FlagRunner77]

Hey guys, my trip is coming up soon! Quick question is it easy to exchange Canadian currency in Cuba, and does anyone know the current rate? Or would it be better to convert CAD to USD first, then to CUP?

Also, I was able to set up my La Nave app account and can transfer money to it. I noticed there's an option to update the phone number, so I'm hoping that once I get my Cuban number, I can just switch it over.Hi Fur Jacket. Could you please share your La Nave experience (exchanging to your Cuban number) once you are done with your trip? This is a question I've had that no-one (including many FB groups) have been able to answer for me. I have a suspicion that a Canadian number may work fine (as I, like you, could set up my account using my Canadian number). If you have data roaming, using your Canadian number may be worth trying.

[FlagRunner77]

Finally, someone that RTFF. Before I ever stepped foot in Havana in January, I read everything on this forum from Mid-2023 through December 2024 (about 18 months like you). It's invaluable. I STILL had a hard time on my first trip. I can't imagine what it would've been like going in blind.

That way if the driver can't call your number, you can always pop the SIM in and change your number on LaNave.

KingSanto.Thanks KingSanto! And apologies to everyone for the multiple posts at once. As you may have gathered, I've finally worked my way through the last year of posts and am almost at page 1!

KingSanto, that is a very good point about Cuban drivers maybe not being able to contact me, as I know they often call to confirm a booking. I think for my trip I'm going to go SuenaCuba for a tourist sim, just to have number. I will report back whether I needed it or not. Unfortunately, I don't have much confidence that any pre-loading of funds to La Nave would transfer over, so I'll just stick with paying at the time.

[CiscoMech]

Hi all.
CiscoMech. Thank you for your reports and particularly for the goodie bag idea. I'm absolutely using that one! Thanks also for the idea of bringing my own food. I'm not sure if I can bring frozen meat from Canada, but I'll look into it as I like the sound of your homemade breakfasts!Man you the realest for putting this together. Lots of useful information here. I'm taking one of my homeboys to visit Cuba for his first time next weekend and I will be using some of this. Interested to checkout "China Town" this go around. My bro is looking up tours on Airbnb costing over a hundred US dollars and I have to tell him that is like 4 months salary in Cuba and not to fall for the tourist traps. I told him if he books that shit he can go by himself cause I'm not about to pay good money to get my ear talked off for 5 hours. That's just me. The cell phone and internet has really allowed some of the more enterprising Cubans to come up in the world off the backs of some of the more doe-eyed gringos LOL.

Glad you guys appreciate the goody bag suggestions. After a few visits I typically can divide up and fit all the goodies (regalos) in a quart sized zip lock bags. Also keep in mind that you really should only give the goody bag to the girls that you wouldn't mind hitting again. Call it your Havana A Team. Because 10 k is truly more than enough and honestly so is 5 k depending on the girl. So for the girls that blow your hair back tell them when you are coming back and that you want to see them next time. I will say though that there is so much fucking A team candidates that I find my roster changing every single visit!

[FlagRunner77]

So, yesterday I posted a long summary of my RTFF, and now I have to re-post without some particular links!

I've been compiling my own list of places to visit, together with my own notes. The notes make sense to me, and I haven't tried to make them pretty for posting, but I wanted to share in case they help others. Hopefully, it will also buy me some good karma to ask some questions that I do have!

Thank you to KingSanto for your trip reports and helpful tips when it comes to restaurants, groceries and La Nave.

Thank you to CiscoMech for the goodie bag idea.

Thank you also to Jiniterinator, Nomars777 and Kstanb for their helpful recent trip reports.

As I say, I've just copied and pasted my notes in case they help others. I have added coordinates for all places to help people to find the various establishments.

SamWebster how long were you detained in Miami before you were allowed to go?

They probably detained you just to bust your balls but I know the feeling and it can be intimidating.

So, yesterday I posted a long summary of my RTFF, and now I have to re-post without some particular links!

I've been compiling my own list of places to visit, together with my own notes. The notes make sense to me, and I haven't tried to make them pretty for posting, but I wanted to share in case they help others. Hopefully, it will also buy me some good karma to ask some questions that I do have!

Thank you to KingSanto for your trip reports and helpful tips when it comes to restaurants, groceries and La Nave..So the Bars have Girls to fuck or what?

[CiscoMech]

It looks like there's a solid list of dining recommendations now. My first couple times visiting I didn't know where to eat or how to budget properly and spent all my money in the first 2 days on chicas with nothing left over for food. I realized that in Cuba when the cash runs out the fun ends. Thankfully I brought food with me or I would have hated that trip. As a more experienced monger now I don't bring food anymore. But I bring 2-3 times the budget that I think I will need. I exchange the planned budget in pesos and keep my reserve in USD. I am on my way to Walmart right now with FlagRunners gift list recommendations to stock up on supplies for my next trip. I only ever bring my carry-on and personal item and that is more than enough space for me. My entire carry on is just supplies and gifts and my personal items pretty much all fit in my personal item. I will never trust the airlines with my checked bags for as long as I live.

Uno.Hey FlagRunner77,

When I've gone, I usually add a Tide To Go stick (for any small stains) and Tylenol to the list. If you have a laundry machine in your place (and plan to do laundry), I also take True Earth laundry sheets. I also always take my own condoms and lube too. I wouldn't trust anything they have there and definitely wouldn't risk losing out on fun times due to lack of.

Also, with regards to dinner, my buddy and I ate at La Bodeguita del Medio. It's super touristy, but my buddy loved the lobster he had there. Last year, it was about 2200 cup (about $7) and worth every penny. No idea about prices now, but something you might want to add to the list if you happen to be in the area.

Unfortunately, we can't go back and edit previous posts. Or at least I don't see the option to do so. I'll add those to my own list though.

Hopefully my list serves as a RTFF summary up to that date, then people can update for future recommendations in the thread.

And, yeah, I have my own separate list of things to take. Including many sanitary stuff (soap, deodorant for ladies, razors, etc). Of course, a couple of things that you mention are the first two things I pack!

[Nomars777]

Excellent summary, and a whole bunch of stuff I have not done yet!

Thanks for this, well done!

[Jiniterinator]

I really really want to go back but my return to the USA Is making me question if I will. My initial interview at CBP Miami went south fast. The guy asked what I was doing in Cuba I said I was there to support the Cuban people he made a grin like "ya right". He then asked me how much cash I brought and how much I am returning with. The difference was 1000 so he then said "that's not much support 1000 dollars in 16 days". So ya that's how it was going. He then referred me to secondary inspection. Again a lot of questions and search of all my stuff. I thought everything was going fine and then the officer told me to unlock my phone so he could go through it. I was caught off guard for sure. I resisted at first which caused escalation. Eventually I gave in and unlocked my phone. They took it away for about 30 minutes then came back and said I was free to go. I mean there's nothing terrible on my phone other than pictures and videos that are private and all my chats with working girls. Hopefully that is the end of this but who knows. I'm sure they took a backup of my phone but idk what they do with it. I ended up missing my connection and had to spend the night in Miami. Anyway that's just a warning for my USA Friends. Obviously CBP does not like the idea of me traveling to Cuba so for that reason alone I might not return.I'm surprised nobody responded to this but I will. Holy crap that's disturbing. Maybe part of the stepped up enforcement that was announced back in July. I have Global Entry so CBP just waves me through cordially, but of course they know where I'm coming from on their computer screen. I didn't know they did "interviews" in the regular security line, not having gone through CBP without Global Entry in like 20 years. So that's why my Havana AirBNB hosts keeps asking me what they asked me at immigration (he means CBP). Anyway I would say odds are they won't mess with Global Entry members, but this is a great argument for a burner phone on your person, and pack the main phone in one's luggage.

This is outrageous. Some Senator (like Mike Lee of Utah, who wants to abolish TSA) should put a stop to this bullshit.

And yes the girl / boyfriend scam is a little scary. I think you just tell them, "go ahead and call the police" and they would balk. But good to keep one's radar up.

Anyway, for about a week I couldn't get this site to load. Is it just me or does this site have lots of downtime?

[KingSanto]

Not so fast Jiniterinator. My Global Entry was revoked after my first trip to Cuba back in January. Upon returning, they also took my phones (4 of them) and my laptop, had me surrender my passwords and took them somewhere else for like an hour where I assume they went through them. I wrote about it here back in January.

They gave everything back and said I was fine / cleared (which was expected because there's nothing illegal in my phones anyway) and sent me on my way. But my Global was revoked about a week later.

As for keeping the burner phone in luggage, if you're selected for secondary, they make you go get your checked bags. So hiding a phone there wouldn't work.

Is it just me or does this site have lots of downtime?When I returned last Tuesday, 5 out of 6 of us in my crew was asked a bunch of questions regarding our visit to HAV. This was a first for me in my 24 visits to the island. I did once have to go to the back for secondary screening, back in 2018 when were allowed to bring cigars back. They confirmed how many sticks I had, looked at my rum, had me run my bags through a huge baggage screening machine, then I was on my way, no issues. I return to HAV in 4 weeks, will see if I am questioned again.

Anyway, for about a week I couldn't get this site to load. Is it just me or does this site have lots of downtime?I haven't been to Cuba since April of 2024 but I'm back and forth to Colombia very often. Got sent into the back room in MIA last November (former administration still in office). Was told it's a Homeland Security search. And yeah they took my passwords and searched my phones and laptop. Told them I had nothing to hide and that was true. Told them they will find lots of conversations with chicas and he said "you got to live your life" LOL. Wanted to know if I was making side trips to Venezuela from Colombia. Told him I'd like to visit and see the chicas there but I've heard it's too dangerous. There's no reason to lie to these immigration officers unless you have something to hide. Three months later I got flagged again and ended up in the same back room. Told them I was just back here 3 months ago and had my devices searched. They quickly let me go. I've had Global Entry for more than ten years and still have it. King Santo did they tell you why they revoked your GE?

KingSanto.I had 3 great trips to Cuba in 18 and 19 that introduced me to travel mongering. I live 25 minutes from Tijuana and would go there a few times a year but now I go almost every week. Plus 3-4 trips to Colombia a year. That time period was probably the best Cuba will ever be. Before Trump crack down and covid. I've been reading the Havana forum since its been active lately and thinking about a return trip. But not if I'm going to lose my Global Entry. Without that no more Sentri for easy driving back from Tijuana. Do you know why it was pulled?

[FlagRunner77]

Hi all.

Given my recent post summarizing my RTFF, I hope that buys me some good grace to ask a few questions!

- My Spanish is not that great, but I'm learning. I know that La Nave drivers will usually call to confirm the ride. Is there a good line I could say to confirm the ride, in case I don't understand what the driver is saying? Perhaps, "si, puedo confirmar la reservacion. No hablo espanol muy bien"?

- Does anyone have any contacts for a local taxi driver that my pick me up / take me to Varadero airport from Vedado? I have a few options on a facebook group, but I'd like to frequent an ISG friend, and hopefully I may get a fair rate.

- Does anyone have any contacts for a local in la habana who may be willing to be a wingman for a few nights exploring the bars and clubs, obviously fully comped? I'm happy to explore on my own, but a wingman would be the preferred option. Just looking for someone recommended rather than taking a chance on someone who I encounter for the first time when I'm there.

Thanks all.

Friends I welcome a critique of my budget. Should I bring extra? If so how much?

I plan 11 days in October.

Preface. My last and only visit to Havana, Cuba was last month August 10 YEARS ago, since then I have been living in Medellin, Colombia.

1. Flight are / T Medellin. Havana on Copa est $535.

2. Round trip taxi from Havana into old town Airbnb $25. Each way so $50.

3. Park my car near the airport in Medellin for 11 days - $90.

4. Airbnb in old Havana for 11 days at $35. / day - $385.

5. Required Health insurance card? At $5. Day - $55.

6. Required visa? $100.

7. Food. Estimate $35. / day so 11 days roughly $385.

8. Playtime - 11 dates at $25. / date - $300.

9. Emergency cash $300.

This totals $2,150. For 11 days, including airfare, any thing missing?

BTW. I don't drink, don't smoke and have grown tired of bars and disco's. I can get around with my level of Spanish.

Thanks in advance!

I'm born and raised in LA and back in the day in my professional career had a ton of disposable cash and like you where best to spend it then the Zona Rosa / Tijuana.

So from roughly 1997 through 2007 then tapering off until about 2015 Tijuana was my playground as I had weekly or bi-monthly visits that lasted 3 or 4 days and this went on for over a decade The Tall Man.

I now have been living in Medellin, Colombia for 10 years as like yourself love the Latinas.

My only 2 weeks trip to Havana was in August 2015 - yep 10 years ago and so plan to spend 2 weeks there in October.

For what it is worth my trip from LAX to Havana in August 2015 was on Copa and so went through "the back door" to get into Cuba as Panama is Copas hub so had no issues in August 2015 returning to LAX.

I too had Global Entry but it expired years ago and hence am not concerned with it, in fact I have only been back to LA once in 7 years now.

Curios as to what you are paying for a girl nowadays in HK? The Trop? Chicago club? My gawd the memories I have in Tijuana over a course of almost 15 years and probably 500 beautiful Mexicanas!

[The Tall Man]

Thanks for the kind words.

1. About 75% of them. I like girls that are outside of Habana Vieja that haven't really dealt with tourists; it's a better experience in my opinion - just my two cents. If I do go hunting though, I tend to do it in Vedado during the day.

2. Pros - you're around a lot of restaurants and a lot of pros. Hunting is easy. Most things that Havana has available are in that area. Electricity should be relatively stable. Cons - Tourist heavy, most women there are seasoned when it comes to gringos, slightly higher prices in some places. A lot of people wouldn't consider any of these cons though it depends on the mongerer - this list was personal to my preferences.

3. I experience blackouts in Vedado but not enough for me to worry about them. Maybe once a day for a couple hours? Almost never at night. I'd say the chances of a blackout in both areas are about the same with maybe a slight (and I do mean slight) edge to Habana Vieja..Excuse my tardy reply, just need to sincerely thank you for taking your time and helping with my questions.

I too have evolved and my preference for chicas is natural, thin, little to no makeup but with fun attitudes, simply put. I stay away from pro's, they just don't do it for The Tall Man anymore.

Now a week ago just for the shit and giggles I started on Badoo, frankly my observations of women between the age range of 18 to 30 is subpar, yet when I watch YouTube videos taken on the walking streets I am like damn! Beautiful slender black women and gawd only knows how this very Tall (6'-7") blonde haired gringo loves and adores think / slender black women.

Good suggestion to head outside of old Havana and into areas like Vedado for more non-pros.

I recall that in August 2015 my casa was located in Vedado and that's where I hunted with my wing man.

Thanks again for your kind help.

Thanks again for your kind help..Dude, YouTube isn't lying to you. The girls you are looking for are walking the streets. Especially late at night. Most are not going to have phones, or they share phones with their friends / boyfriends / family, won't have an online presence- so you can't honestly expect to find them on dating profiles. You have to walk around in or you are missing the whole experience. I have never thought to leave the area around the capitolio because it has more than enough volume that will satisfy any taste or perversion. No need in my mind to go searching for what's already right in front of your of you. If you think the girls in one part of Cuba are somehow more or less pros than the girls in another part you are mistaken. First off cuban dating culture is different. They fuck first then date after. Doesn't matter iwhat part of Cuba you're in. Just because a girl is in Havana doesn't mean that's where she lives. She could be coming in from any other province just for the weekend. And she likely could spend a whole week and only see 1 tourist due to the small pool of interested tourists. My two cents is don't get preoccupied with the pro / non-pro argument and just focus on exactly the flavor of girl you are looking for. Unless you are going to Cuba to search for a wife or something. But that's a totally different box of problems.

However this is all subjective. I don't think I could do Cuba that long. After 4 days and an empty sperm tank I am ready to go home to my modern conveniences and toys. Then after about 2 weeks I miss it dearly and am ready to go back.

Always stayed at cascades and visited HK for all the top talent in the area. The food is excellent in Mexico, but I kinda lost interest though once the chica prices started being the same as back home while the quality of the experience didn't really improve. Everything is in USD. I Don't think I will ever return tbh. Not since I discovered HAV.

But what I would recommend is to lean on your Airbnb / casa-host to arrange transportation. Or at a minimum you can use them to sanity check. For example I would ask my host how much should a taxi to the beach cost. And then I would walk from taxi to taxi until one gave me that price or less. Once you hit the ground you will meet a lot of people and have no trouble making friends. Use your discernment to make connections with people you deem trustworthy and they will have no problem helping you every time you come to visit. For them having the foreign connection is priceless.

FYI you can get the visa for $26 US at Novelacuba.

Use your discernment to make connections with people you deem trustworthy and they will have no problem helping you every time you come to visit. For them having the foreign connection is priceless.Indeed, and for a first time visitor who probably doesn't have a working Cubacel line yet, I'd suggest asking your hosts if they will pick you up from the airport. It's usually the same price as a taxi, but you know you won't have any problems finding the place and getting inside. How would you contact your hosts if something went wrong without a phone line? In my typical airbnb I already know how to get the front door key and the apartment entrance is a coded lock. But the first time in Cuba (or with a new host) it's always comforting to have them drive you to the casa.

Also always buy a $1/ HR Wifi card at the airport if you don't have a working Cubacel line. At least that way you can communicate with your hosts. BTW, it takes like 30-60 minutes to get your luggage at Jose Marti, so you want to be able to give your hosts real time updates on when you will be coming (or if they are picking you up, when you will really be exiting the terminal).

[KappsGuy]

Hello everyone. I'm planning my first trip to Havana, and old forum posts have answered a lot of questions. But one thing I haven't seen much about are apps / web pages.

As I get older I'm less interested in bars and walking the streets. I prefer to meet ladies online before hand, if it's a viable option. Can anyone recommend a page or app that locals use, to meet non-pros or maybe part timers? Found this to be a good way to find English speakers, I don't know a lick of Spanish. I'd like to do some advance work before I leave in a few weeks. Thanks.Well, no replies, but here is what I learned. Badoo was pretty popular, had dozens of woman contacting me on there. Most use Whatsapp, some use Telegram. I had several conversations going on Telegram when Badoo banned me. I think one of the gals reported me.

Cute young gal with freckles, I was chatting with her, asked her for a date. She said she normally gets $200 to $300 for a date. I offered $25. She laughed. I laughed. We all laughed. I wished her luck then went into Badoo and unmatched. Next day I was banned.

Anyway, I had dates with 3 women while I was there, one mid 20's, one mid 30's, and one mid 40's who wore me out (she was invited back a few times). Never did go out at night. Just chatted gals up online. Invited them to my AirBnB, paid for their taxi both ways. Took one out to lunch. Only one ask for money beyond taxi fares. But I did bring a 50 lb suitcase full of giveaways, medications, feminine hygiene products, school supplies, etc. That they all seemed quite excited to receive.

Didn't see much on other web sites, forums etc. I checked a few gay sites, lots of good looking trans gals if you're into that. The few I chatted with were looking for p4 p. Another site only had a few guys, also strictly business. Tinder had mostly older women looking for long term. The daily power outages were a pain, but these folks live with them so I can't complain, but glad I brought a power pack to charge my phone. Used La Nave for taxis, when it would load. Also found a taxi Whatsapp group, just type in "taxi" and someone with a car will message you for addresses and what they charge. A pain to use with a translation app, but a lot cheaper than a white tourist hailing a passing taxi. One of my ladies suggested a local map app, but I forget the name. But it had a lot better address information that Google maps, where half the streets are unmarked.

Super nice people. The one older gal took me home to meet some cousins, and they welcomed me up to their rooftop patio, gave me the last beer from their cooler, and practiced their English with me. Loved the old cars.

The only scam was when an old dude who spoke English attached himself to me and the cute young lady giving me a walking tour, following us for 20 minutes and pointing out all the usual tourist stuff. When I indicated he needed to leave, he started arguing with my guide, who then gave him $10 from the $20 I gave her so he would go away Turns out he threatened to call the police on her for giving unlicensed tours, spooked her. Otherwise it was a great trip. Hope to return.

Indeed, and for a first time visitor who probably doesn't have a working Cubacel line yet, I'd suggest asking your hosts if they will pick you up from the airport. It's usually the same price as a taxi, but you know you won't have any problems finding the place and getting inside. How would you contact your hosts if something went wrong without a phone line? In my typical airbnb I already know how to get the front door key and the apartment entrance is a coded lock. But the first time in Cuba (or with a new host) it's always comforting to have them drive you to the casa.

Also always buy a $1/ HR Wifi card at the airport if you don't have a working Cubacel line. At least that way you can communicate with your hosts. BTW, it takes like 30-60 minutes to get your luggage at Jose Marti, so you want to be able to give your hosts real time updates on when you will be coming (or if they are picking you up, when you will really be exiting the terminal).Hi Jiniterinator.

I'll have roaming on my cell plan (it specifically covers Cuba), I'll also be picking up a Suenacuba sim at the airport as a backup. I have a taxi arranged at the airport also (I'm flying into Varadero). My question was really what I can say to the La Nave driver when he calls, as I don't speak much Spanish but want to assure him that I made the booking and I want to go ahead with it. The whole point of me using La Nave is to have the set price so I don't have to worry about the back and forth with taxi negotiations, or getting scammed.

Greetings friend! I'm born and raised in LA and back in the day in my professional career had a ton of disposable cash and like you where best to spend it then the Zona Rosa / Tijuana.

So from roughly 1997 through 2007 then tapering off until about 2015 Tijuana was my playground as I had weekly or bi-monthly visits that lasted 3 or 4 days and this went on for over a decade The Tall Man.

I now have been living in Medellin, Colombia for 10 years as like yourself love the Latinas.

My only 2 weeks trip to Havana was in August 2015 - yep 10 years ago and so plan to spend 2 weeks there in October.

For what it is worth my trip from LAX to Havana in August 2015 was on Copa and so went through "the back door" to get into Cuba as Panama is Copas hub so had no issues in August 2015 returning to LAX.

I too had Global Entry but it expired years ago and hence am not concerned with it, in fact I have only been back to LA once in 7 years now.

Curios as to what you are paying for a girl nowadays in HK? The Trop? Chicago club? My gawd the memories I have in Tijuana over a course of almost 15 years and probably 500 beautiful Mexicanas!I used to go to the Zona maybe once every month or 2 and started around 1995 but for the last 4 years I have always had 1 or 2 sugar baby types who have regular jobs and give me long dates or over nights with GFE / BBFS. Much better than the quickies with condoms at HK. The going rate at HK is $120-150 for around 45 minutes. I spend 6-7 weeks a year in Medellin and the standard of living there is much higher that Havana so I would recommend spending more on the airbnb. Those apartments can be very poor. Also 2 weeks is probably too long because it is a very poor country.

Hi Jiniterinator.

With my hearing and how fast Cubans talk, I much prefer in-person conversations. I think my first question would be, "habla ingles? Consider having a pre-translated script and paste it into your notes, and you just wait for him to be quiet and then prattle it off and hope he understands your accent.

I'd like to hear more about this taxi Whatsapp, KappsGuy. And I think your amiga was referring to maps-dot-me (stupid formatting on this website won't let me type out the name).

Always blow off the jineteros trying to befriend you. "No necesito nada" is one my favorites when someone comes up trying to bug me. When they ask, "where are you from?" I always say "la luna" and point at the sky. That usually throws them. Courtesy becomes a liability when strolling in Havana. I'm more friendly to the girls, even if I'm not interested in them, just for research purposes. You are welcome for my selfless sacrifices for the board.

Damn I wish it were November already!

Hi, sounds like you had a pretty good trip. Havana can be difficult getting started, but gets good pretty fast.

As many have reported here, the street hawkers in Havana are aggressive. Imo, they are as annoying or worse than the street hawkers in Boca Chica, DR, and that place is annoying as fuck. I don't get tours ever, but I'm curious if tour givers must be licensed in Havana. I suspect something else was going on with that old dude hawker and your female guide. In any case the old dude sounds like a real scum bag. Any of you Cuba vets have an idea?

Also, I'm skeptical the girl on Badoo reported you. I think that would implicate her, and also get her banned. Did you do any mass solicitations to many girls, or include anything that may have even hinted at pay-for-play.


Well, no replies, but here is what I learned. Badoo was pretty popular, had dozens of woman contacting me on there. Most use Whatsapp, some use Telegram. I had several conversations going on Telegram when Badoo banned me. I think one of the gals reported me.

Cute young gal with freckles, I was chatting with her, asked her for a date. She said she normally gets $200 to $300 for a date. I offered $25. She laughed. I laughed. We all laughed. I wished her luck then went into Badoo and unmatched. Next day I was banned.



The only scam was when an old dude who spoke English attached himself to me and the cute young lady giving me a walking tour, following us for 20 minutes and pointing out all the usual tourist stuff. When I indicated he needed to leave, he started arguing with my guide, who then gave him $10 from the $20 I gave her so he would go away Turns out he threatened to call the police on her for giving unlicensed tours, spooked her.

Thursday arrival. Arrived mid afternoon, got checked into my 3rd floor Airbnb on Muralla and Compostela. Nice apartment, but like so many smelled of recent fumigation, which I guess is better than no fumigation and lots of cockroaches, which is the most commonly encountered pest in my visits to Havana. Host changed money for me, only at 350 / USD, which was below the 380 / USD on El Toque, but for 1 k notes I was fine with that.

Had been in communication with a couple of girls from Badoo, who were new to me, both of whom SWORE they are not jineteras and don't do sex for money. Yeah, right. Anyway, the older one, about 26, great athletic body, kinda plain face, depending on what angle you see her from, was messaging back and forth and we were trying to arrange a time. She kept going on and on about how she wasn't a jinetera, didn't want to sell her body for money, but really needed help for her younger brother's school clothes, backpack, shoes, etc. Finally agreed that she'd come over about 8 PM. Took her forever to get to just Parque Central, she messaged me she was there, so I headed up to retrieve her. Took a bicitaxi back to the apartment. She was not at all communicative in the bici, nor affectionate, but as soon as we sat on the sofa, she licked the entire left side of my face in one stroke before tongue kissing me like her life depended on it. Wow! Ok, that's how we do it!

Goes by Laura, have no idea if that's her real name or not, don't much care. Told her I only fuck raw, after I'd been sucking on her tits for a good 10 minutes, nipples rock hard, and she hesitated, but then went with it. First girl, I was hard as fuck, with the generic Vardenafil working its magic. Fucked her on the couch, in the bed, on the dining room table, back to the sofa, back to the bed, back to the table, Jesus, it was a marathon. Finally stopped around 10:30 PM because she wanted a break to smoke and eat. That was fine. I was pretty much worn out as well. Strangely, I didn't nut, probably because I wanted to save it for my gigantic PITA (Pain in the Ass) girl that I knew from last year, who was coming by in the morning and who promised me that she REALLY wanted "la leche adentro". Ok, all good. Laura ordered some food via a motorcycle delivery and about 20 minutes later we were eating surprisingly good tacos and pretty decent fish as well, with some lobster pieces thrown in. Came from some place she knew in "Playa", which from what I can tell covers like half of Havana west of Vedado. Honestly, I have no idea what "Playa" means other than that it's west and it's big.

Ok, she leaves about 11:30 PM, calls the same bicitaxi guy to take her back to Parque Central, I gave her $100 for her time. WAY too much, I know, but I was horny, fucked her wild, she was wet the entire time and gave me pure GFE and then some. Next day she sent me pictures and took a video of her in the market buying all the shit for her younger brother, super appreciative. That's nice. No idea if she's fibbing or playing me, but it was nice "confirmation", I guess.

Ran by V&S, it was lame, completely lame. Got a table, a bucket of beers and the selection was a solid group of 5's-6's. Not a waste of time, as I enjoyed myself, but it wasn't particularly special.

Friday morning.

Rosa. Well known from prior trips. Met her on Prado in front of Grand Packard June last year. Friday AM. Raw - leche inside. The biggest fucking PITA (Pain In The Ass) girl I've dealt with in Habana. She's a mathematics teacher during the school year, of elementary kids, I think 5th graders, por ahi.

I met her June of last year, and on my return trip in July she came to my apartment in Miramar. I was going to have her stay 2-3 days, but honestly after 1 afternoon of raw fucking, she jumped off me as soon as I started nutting and just complains about fucking everything. That said, her body and her gold snaggle tooth turns me on, plus she's a great shit talker, so yeah, I decided to give her another whirl, as much as I knew I'the regret it.

She comes to the apartment almost as soon as I messaged her, 10 AM Friday, was there within 15 minutes of me WhatsApp messaging her. Punctuality is definitely a plus with this one. Has a nice sweat sheen on her face and tits. Tasted amazing when I was sucking her nipples. She immediately gets on top of me on the sofa, wet as fuck, talking all kinds of dirty talk. About 10 minutes of this and I take her to the bedroom. We fuck for a good 30 minutes before I lie her face down on the bed, flat, pull her legs together, and just start pounding away super deep, she's moaning, gripping the sheets, little screams, and I finally blast a giant load inside her. We lie like that for a while and she finally gets up, uses the toilet, takes a shower, gives me a kiss on the cheek at the bottom of the stairs and I send her on her way.

Not 2 hours later she's begging me to come over again so we can do it again. I'm like, "no, amor, no va a pasar". Didn't see her again the rest of the trip. Too much of a pain in the ass, even though she is a good fuck.

Took a rest and waited for the 2nd Badoo girl, not a JINETERA. LOL - to show up in the early afternoon, namely Isis T. Badoo - Friday 1 pm. Raw - leche inside. Ok, this girl started out with a bang, literally. Came in, was super affectionate from the get go. Told me the father of her kid was the last man she'the been with, which was over a year ago. 25 years old, flaquita, beautiful white teeth contrasting nicely with her dark skin, even if she has a bit of an overbite. Straight off was tongue kissing me like her life depended on it. Nice shaped tits and big nipples, which I really like. Sucked on them, we made out, she blew me and was "ok", hardly any true blow job rock stars these days, but I live with it. Started fucking raw cowgirl on the sofa, which was one of those futon sofa bed things, but works beautifully for reclining in a seated position with your hips out far enough for them to mount me nicely. Anyway, she fucks like that for a while, wants me to hit her from behind, we do that, then we move to the bed where it's all the positions, but she really likes it from the side, where she's just rubbing her clit like crazy and I nutted inside her while she gripped me hard from my ass pulling me in deeper while I kept cumming. Amazing sensation, really great. Gave her $60 and sent her on her way. $40 for her, $20 for her little boy who also was starting school soon. Ended up seeing her a couple of days later too. Great experience first time, easy 95% of what I'm looking for in a fuck session. That said, she has since become a giant money begging PITA, kinda like Rosa above. So she's off my list for future visits. For a 1 and done, all good though.

Next, rested up for a bit, got some, got a mid-afternoon meal and a drink or two, when.

Roxana. Friend referral Friday PM. Covered - pretty good, great girl.

My buddy referred this girl, a Badoo contact of his, to me. Said she was super hot, smart, etc. All of which are true. But after 2 raw bangs and deep inside the pussy cumshots, the idea of a condom just didn't do it for me. But for a $35-40 short time throw down, she was just fine. If I busted a nut, I didn't notice. She did a great job with BBBJ though and the fuck skills were pretty good. Just that I'm so used to bareback fucking that the condom is a deal breaker for me now.

Nani. Friday late V&S. Raw no leche. Went to V&S after my buddy, same one who referred Roxana to me, told me it was a banging spot. Went on Thursday, it was average at best. This time, Friday, was a BANGER. Lots of hotties, I of course ran into the street girl from Santiago who calls me Max, along with 5-6 trainees that she was showing the ropes to. Bought them all a Cristal or 2, then sent them on their way, but not before I got the WhatsApp of a super skinny pretty one who goes by the name of Rachel, not to be confused with another Rachel that my buddy would send me a couple of days later. Ended up drinking, dancing, just vibing out till about 2 AM, went to the bathroom and saw this cute one with frizzy hair. Goes by Nani. Forget her real name. Anyway, great little body on her, super firm, but with a nice "bounce" to her ass when she dances. My friend met her the following month in July and immediately called her "high energy girl". Yes, perfect description. She's a winner. Anyway, she asks where I'm going and I say "Home". She says, "I'm coming with you. " Yeah, ok. We get in the bicitaxi and head to the apartment. On the way she says it's $50. I say, $30. She says no. I say AND no condom. She says fine, but $40, with maybe a propane if it's good. I'm like, Ok, fine. Get to the apartment and yeah, she showers up, I shower up, we get it going on the couch, and pounding that hot ass from behind was spectacular. But after 2.5 cumshots on the day, I just couldn't muster another one. She slept over till the morning, when we gave it another whirl and I still couldn't bust. But I did achieve a good 1-2+ hours of fucking with her and it was very nice. My favorite thing about her is she NEVER asks for money. Not once, not ever, as a result, she may be my favorite Cubana at this point, even if I skipped a session with her on my last trip there.

Haila. Prior - Saturday PM. Raw - leche on ass / back. I've known this girl since trip 2 last June when I stayed at the Havana Dream Airbnb, which is kinda like a hotel. She was a referral from a tout who works by "Esto No Es Un Cafe" who asked me why I was drinking alone, without a pretty cubana. At the time I told him I was taking it easy, he asked what kind of girl I liked, I said dark ones, and he made a quick call and boom, she shows up. Anyway, this girl is unconventionally pretty. High cheekbones, nice hair, probably a wig, super athletic body with small tits, but a beautiful curvy ass. Straight up athlete's body. Has a 6 year old girl who could be her mini-me. Anyway, I had a great time with her last year and have been messaging her off and on since last year and finally gave in and had her come over. It was like meeting a former girlfriend. She was super giggly, shy, it was crazy. Anyway, we get undressed, have a great bareback fucking session and I blast a giant load all over her ass and back. Nothing like a big white load on a dark ass, such a great sight. Afterward, she wanted to show me around so we walked down by the malecon, but closer to where the mercado de artesanales is, and then we ate at a seafood place that served pesos at 365, just about $1 USD. She got 2 or 3 cheladas and a grilled rock lobster, with some beans and white rice, and I got a lobster in tomato sauce, plus a side of plantains, I think, plus 3-4-5 mojitos. Grand total for everything was somewhere around $17 USD. Just stupid cheap. Greatest quality, no, but for that price I could give 2 shits. Gave her a kiss goodbye, had another mojito and was on my way.

Went back to V&S Saturday night, didn't see anything I liked, so started walking home. Ran into 2 girls on Prado that were across from a hotel, forget the name, but there's 2 of the lion sculptures right in front of it. Took them into the hotel bar after waking up the security guard, who not surprisingly was sleeping at 3 AM. Got them each a drink, I had one, and then we decided to go for a walk to their "friends" place who had a bed we could use. We get there, $10 to each of them, $10 to the girl for the bed, but they balked at raw fucking, probably because there were 2 of them and they could coordinate their decline. Either way, I had them each blow me for about 20-30 minutes and left a happy man. One was white, like straight white with pink nipples, what an oddity in Havana, the other one black, didn't get their names, but a good time for $30 USD. Another weird / fun experience in Havana.

On the way home, I run across the "ghost" the pain in the ass jinetera who always calls me Max, plus her Santiago friends. Told her to fuck off, but got numbers from 2-3 of the friends who all were cute, plus I already had the number of the skinny cute one from the day before.

Juissy. Street - Saturday very late, street girl, check dress. Raw - no leche.

Got about a block and ran into a cute black girl in a check dress, basically Burberry pattern, tan background, white and black accents in a check pattern, goes by the name of Juicy. Took some fotos of Habana at night with her nearby and she asks me if I want some fun with her. I say how much? She says $5 k. Crazy cheap!! Sure. Take her to the place, tell her no condom, she's all good with it, jumps on top and rides me for a good 20-30 minutes. She's like, are you going to come? I say probably not. She says, Ok, I need to go then. All good for $5 k, that's just stupid cheap. I gave her an extra $2-3 k because yeah, why not?

Sunday - 1 PM Isis Taymara. Badoo - non jinetera comes by again around noon. I kinda had to see her again (now I regret it because she basically became a constant money begging chia, which is my least favorite kind), but I had to see her because she sent me a WhatsApp message that was essentially a 5 star review of my sexual performance. All this shit about how she just loved how I pounded her, how it felt when I came inside her, how she hadn't had that experience in years because her ex didn't want to touch her anymore and then left her for her best friend, etc. , etc. Etc. Anyway, she comes over and it's a repeat of the prior visit. Lots of raw fucking, huge nut inside, which dribbled down her leg as she made her way to the bathroom, with her scraping some cum off her leg and tasting it. It was awesome. What a nasty girl, my favorite kind! Still a PITA though, goddammit.

Racher Fábrica. Skinny beautiful Santiago girl that I got the number from at V&S Friday night late. Finally had this one come over about 5 PM, giving myself a good few hours to rest. She comes by, takes her clothes off and I was astounded. Slim, but nice full tits and a cute ass. Great laugh on her. She blows me, then takes off her bottoms. I am holding my cock telling her to sit on it and she says, "Sin condon? Dale pues. " Ok, sits on it nicely and it's sooooo wet, goddamn I love that shit. She rides me reverse cowgirl for about 20 minutes or so, I ask if we can take a picture or video and she says, nooooooo. Sad. But OK. She finally asks if I'm going to cum and I say probably not, I'm tapped out after 3-4 days in Habana. She gets up and I did get a picture of my slicked up dick just as she was sliding off it. Amazing. Gave her like $30-40, can't recall, mainly because she's hot as fuck and I like that. Sent her on her way about 7:30 PM.

Rashell. Friend referral. Covered - 2 hours. My buddy sent me another referral. Said she was one of his favorites. Definitely a cute number, but chunky. He said she wasn't like that when he saw her like 2-3 months earlier. Could be, but she was a chubby chica. Either way, wouldn't agree to raw fucking, but definitely gave me a beautiful BBBJ. I told her it would be very unlikely that she could get a leche out of me after so many over the last few days, but give it your best efforts. She stayed for almost 2 hours, fucked me 3-4 different times, tried raw but she wouldn't go for it, said she didn't enjoy it as much! That's a first. Anyway, best efforts, really did give it her all, but couldn't sacar la leche.

Monday. For my closeout day, leaving in the afternoon, messaged Nani, the one from V&S, asked her if she was finally ready for the leche. She said, I am! She came over immediately, we went at it like rabbits, fucked every which way, and from behind I pounded her to finish. Finally she got the leche, a huge shot that hit on her lower neck and hair! She was like fuck me when you finally let go it's a big one. Oh yeah baby, we fucked 2 x before this and you've not gotten the treatment because it was late in the day, but mid-morning, yeah, I got you! Took her to breakfast at El Cafe where she tried sourdough toast for the first time and really liked it! Enjoy my time with her, she's smart, fun, not too talkative and NEVER ASKS FOR MONEY via WhatsApp. That ought to be the highest rating I can give her, truly.

Anyway, spectacular trip, only to be outdone by the *next* trip to Havana about 10 days later when I put together a last minute trip to meet my buddy down there! Trip report for that one coming soon!!

[KingSanto]

I honestly couldn't tell you - they didn't provide a reason; but I would never say that travel to Cuba equals revokation of your Global Entry. I know many people with Global that travel to Cuba. I'd consider myself the exception, not the rule.

KingSanto.


I've had Global Entry for more than ten years and still have it. King Santo did they tell you why they revoked your GE?

[EMode]

Hey Nomars, thanks for the detailed report. I feel like I'm there with you. 😁.

[Ekkekkazzo]

Good morning everyone,

I ask if any of you know of swinger meeting places in Havana.

I have been going to Cuba for years but now only for a few weeks, to the East.

A friend of mine from Guantanamo told me that she would like to go with me the next time I return.

I told her: but you should know!

No. She's too shy to ask around. Cuba is very "chismosa".

I am absolutely sure that there are no clubs like in the Western world but perhaps there are bars where swingers meet normally.

So I ask you.

Thank you.

[KingSanto]

The conversation with LaNave really isn't as serious as people make it out to be. You do the confirmation via the app similar to how you would do Uber. The driver will then call and say something along the lines of "LaNave pa confirmar?" (LaNave to confirm?) and you just say yes. That's how 95% of the conversations will go.

KingSanto


My Spanish is not that great, but I'm learning. I know that La Nave drivers will usually call to confirm the ride. Is there a good line I could say to confirm the ride, in case I don't understand what the driver is saying? Perhaps, "si, puedo confirmar la reservacion. No hablo espanol muy bien"?

[KingSanto]

You should be doing your Visa through Novela Cuba for 22 Euros.

Health Insurance if you're not coming from America should be done through SolWays Cuba for $2 per day.

Even if you plan to only eat alone, that food budget is a bit low unless you're only eating 1-2 times per day OR you're sticking to "café-style" spots. Which is fine. I'm just making sure you're aware.

And that emergency budget is a little light. But other than that it seems fine.


Friends I welcome a critique of my budget. Should I bring extra? If so how much?

This totals $2,150. For 11 days, including airfare, any thing missing?

BTW. I don't drink, don't smoke and have grown tired of bars and disco's. I can get around with my level of Spanish.

Thanks in advance!

The Tall Man.

[KingSanto]

No problem at all. As for the topic of pros, it's not so much that I wouldn't get with one. I'm just not into hardcore pros; hence why I stay away from Habana Vieja unless I have something to do there. Well that and the girls there tend to look a little "crackhead-ish" to me; but I digress.

Vedado and other areas of Havana have been my go-tos for finding girls that are up for play but aren't looking to get railed by gringos every day or every week LOL (or in a lot of cases has never met a gringo).

I'm biased though. I'm fluent in Spanish so that makes hunting in a normal barrio like 10 times easier. If I hadn't learned Spanish from my time in DR, maybe my opinion would be different.

KingSanto.


Excuse my tardy reply, just need to sincerely thank you for taking your time and helping with my questions.

I too have evolved and my preference for chicas is natural, thin, little to no makeup but with fun attitudes, simply put. I stay away from pro's, they just don't do it for The Tall Man anymore.

Good suggestion to head outside of old Havana and into areas like Vedado for more non-pros.

Thanks again for your kind help.

The Tall Man.

Hi Jiniterinator.

I'll have roaming on my cell plan (it specifically covers Cuba), I'll also be picking up a Suenacuba sim at the airport as a backup. I have a taxi arranged at the airport also (I'm flying into Varadero). My question was really what I can say to the La Nave driver when he calls, as I don't speak much Spanish but want to assure him that I made the booking and I want to go ahead with it. The whole point of me using La Nave is to have the set price so I don't have to worry about the back and forth with taxi negotiations, or getting scammed.My conversations with the La Nave drivers was simply- No habla español. Si, Taxi. Si.

Then I had their number and could text a translated message confirming the pick up address. That worked well. The only problem was when the app didn't want to open due to a weak signal.

[KappsGuy]

I'd like to hear more about this taxi Whatsapp, KappsGuy. And I think your amiga was referring to maps-dot-me (stupid formatting on this website won't let me type out the name).

I met an American there who invited me to the whattsap group, but I've since left and don't have the number. A Google search did bring up this -.

Just want to let folks here know how to get around the issue of ISG's mistyping what you type.

I'm guessing we all read our posts once we upload it, right? I know I do.

Well once you find something that's been spelled or misspelled whichever the case might be in a different way that you intended it, you have AN HOUR to correct it.

Notice at the bottom of the post the link (EDIT POST) to undo or change any part of your post. You click on this link and from there you get access to change your post anyway you want.

After making any changes you again hit the upload link (SAVE CHANGES) and voila, whatever you meant to express in your post is now done.

Hope this helps you guys out.

Mondo.

P.S., just as an example, the "Ñ" is automatically changed to an "N" so anytime I write Espanol I have to change the N back to with method I describe above.

[Alex40]

Hi,

I am new to this forum and read through some posts already and was not sure to find the answer so far. So Anyone who could help me please?

Going to La Havana next week and I am struggling to find discreet Air bnb where I could bring girlfriends possibly 2-3 times a day. So I am guessing that I should avoid all building where it is mentioned "checkin with staff building staff" or 24 h building staff or security on site.

The problem is that it is pretty much all air bnb that I am seeing so far.

Plus how do you deal with landlords, do you ask them if you can have visitors or guests overnight and sending their ID? But I suspect that most of them will find this suspicious and not be happy to approve my request.

The only few locations where it says self check in drop box are quite far. From the action areas.

Thanks for sharing any tips on this. That would be appreciated.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work for swear words or single letters you would use to describe the bust size of a woman.


Just want to let folks here know how to get around the issue of ISG's mistyping what you type.

I'm guessing we all read our posts once we upload it, right? I know I do.

Well once you find something that's been spelled or misspelled whichever the case might be in a different way that you intended it, you have AN HOUR to correct it.

Notice at the bottom of the post the link (EDIT POST) to undo or change any part of your post. You click on this link and from there you get access to change your post anyway you want.

After making any changes you again hit the upload link (SAVE CHANGES) and voila, whatever you meant to express in your post is now done.

Hope this helps you guys out.

P.S., just as an example, the "" is automatically changed to an "N" so anytime I write Espanol I have to change the N back to with method I describe above.

Hi,

I am new to this forum and read through some posts already and was not sure to find the answer so far. So Anyone who could help me please?

Going to La Havana next week and I am struggling to find discreet Air bnb where I could bring girlfriends possibly 2-3 times a day. So I am guessing that I should avoid all building where it is mentioned "checkin with staff building staff" or 24 h building staff or security on site.

The problem is that it is pretty much all air bnb that I am seeing so far.

Plus how do you deal with landlords, do you ask them if you can have visitors or guests overnight and sending their ID? But I suspect that most of them will find this suspicious and not be happy to approve my request.

The only few locations where it says self check in drop box are quite far. From the action areas.

Thanks for sharing any tips on this. That would be appreciated.I can't give any advice on a particular place, but 'check in with building staff' and 'check in with lockbox' should be taken with a large pinch of salt. I've enquired about verious places with both descriptions and on several occasions the host said that they would meet me on arrival with the keys. Very few places will have 'building staff' but they will have a host meeting you or perhaps a local resident.

The important thing is to ask the host before booking if you can have guests come to the airbnb. Also, check the rules to rule out any ones that specifically say no guests or no cubans can come to the place. Many will say that you can bring guests no problem. As with everything, just be discrete about it as you will likely be in a block with neighbours.

[KingSanto]

Just scroll to the bottom and click on "house rules". If it doesn't say "no visitors allowed", then you're good to go. It really is that simple. I would discourage against asking if visitors are allowed because everyone knows what that means and you don't want to expose yourself like that because now it's officially in your messages and your host might feel obligated to follow the official rule of registering every guest.

Don't ask, don't tell will always be the best policy here. They know why you're coming, no need to actually say why you're coming.

I could be wrong but I think that's a privilege reserved for senior members on the forum. I don't remember seeing the option beforehand. It's totally possible that I never noticed it though.

KingSanto.Hey KS,

Not sure about the "privilege" you mention, regular vs senior member. One thing for sure it's very EASY to miss the link (EDIT POST) I remember becoming aware of this link early on, not sure if at the time I was a regular member or a senior one.

I suggest next time you make a post pay particular attention once you upload it. You'll see the link on the bottom part of your uploaded post. Remember, like I said to be able to change anything in such post you have ONE HOUR only once you upload it.

BTW, you are a senior member so either way you'll have access to it.

Hello everyone! I would like to know everyone's plan on getting into Cuba, starting from the US. Now that the travel ban is on again, there are no direct flights from the US. I have an idea, starting from Canada seems to be popular, but is it the best? Also, how do you book an Airbnb? Americans are blocked. I miss my Cuban chicas. Thanks in advance.

[MadMax9336]

Thursday arrival. Arrived mid afternoon, got checked into my 3rd floor Airbnb on Muralla and Compostela. Nice apartment, but like so many smelled of recent fumigation, which I guess is better than no fumigation and lots of cockroaches, which is the most commonly encountered pest in my visits to Havana. Host changed money for me, only at 350 / USD, which was below the 380 / USD on El Toque, but for 1 k notes I was fine with that.

Anyway, spectacular trip, only to be outdone by the *next* trip to Havana about 10 days later when I put together a last minute trip to meet my buddy down there! Trip report for that one coming soon!!Great report man. I visited 5 times already to Cuba but never paid more than $50 for the whole night. The last time I visted 2 years back. So inflation caught up or the quality of the chics you banged or 9/10 ??

Would definitely wanted to see some pics for reference.

No plans of visiting but once the cold hits at home. Will definitely tempted for quick trip especially westjet has direct flight to HAV these days.

I just came back last week from there, and have 2 friends that just flew down there 2 days ago, and 3 peeps headed down there next Friday.

So you are good to go!

[KingSanto]

Hmm. Interesting; and where did you get all of this information? Do tell - because it definitely wasn't from here. Come on man read the forum. Like literally the first 3 pages.

Yeah I use it for pretty much every post. I'm just saying that I didn't notice it until my account status changed about 2-3 months ago. Maybe a regular member in here can enlighten us on whether they also have the option.

Thursday arrival. Arrived mid afternoon, got checked into my 3rd floor Airbnb on Muralla and Compostela. Nice apartment, but like so many smelled of recent fumigation, which I guess is better than no fumigation and lots of cockroaches, which is the most commonly encountered pest in my visits to Havana. Host changed money for me, only at 350 / USD, which was below the 380 / USD on El Toque, but for 1 k notes I was fine with that.

Had been in communication with a couple of girls from Badoo, who were new to me, both of whom SWORE they are not jineteras and don't do sex for money. Yeah, right. Anyway, the older one, about 26, great athletic body, kinda plain face, depending on what angle you see her from, was messaging back and forth and we were trying to arrange a time. She kept going on and on about how she wasn't a jinetera, didn't want to sell her body for money, but really needed help for her younger brother's school clothes, backpack, shoes, etc. Finally agreed that she'd come over about 8 PM. Took her forever to get to just Parque Central, she messaged me she was there, so I headed up to retrieve her. Took a bicitaxi back to the apartment. She was not at all communicative in the bici, nor affectionate, but as soon as we sat on the sofa, she licked the entire left side of my face in one stroke before tongue kissing me like her life depended on it. Wow! Ok, that's how we do it!Amazing report my man. You're the real deal. With that Energy, allow me to give you a tip. Try Apomorphine sublingual along with your viagra or cialis or vardenafil. You can do some research on it. But to summarize, it acts on the dopamine receptors on the brain, In simple and Leyman terms, it gets you horny, to keep up with the marathon you blessing us with. The way ED meds gives medium results depending on your level of arousal, well Apomorphine sublingual triggers arousal. You can get it shipped from any Indian pharmacies, and combine it with your own viagra. (NOTE: As I'm typing this, the India post suspended shipping to USA because of Trump tariffs, Heard it will be resume in couple of weeks, I know this because I have my apomorphine package stuck in the limbo right now from India, and waiting on the situation with tariffs to be resolved.

You also have the Apomorphine 'Rugiet' American alternative, that will be shipped from the USA, but will be obviously more expensive, And comes combined with viagra or cialis, as apomorphine is not allowed to be sold non-compounded (solo ingredient) by US pharmacies. Rugiet are the same guys behind ED meds like Roman, Hims, etc. Look it up, their pills comes compounded.

I started doing this as I got a couple of limp dicks situation back to Pattaya for overfucking.

A natural alternative, is a panax gingseng, with L arginine and citrulline. Start 1 or 2 weeks before the intended trip, and continue during the trip. As you can see this method, takes a while to build up to fully see the benefits, twice a day, but you can get all in Amazon. Thats what I'm going to Kenya with in couple days, waiting for my package situation to be resolved.

I'm also planning my 10 days all bareback to Havana for very first time and that's the way I will be operating, online and ground hunting, aiming for 2 chicas / day.

Should I type here I'm not a doctor, do not take it as medical advice? Consult a physician. . LOL.

Also, check the rules to rule out any ones that specifically say no guests or no cubans can come to the place. Many will say that you can bring guests no problem. As with everything, just be discrete about it as you will likely be in a block with neighbours.Yes, but I'd skip asking the host outright. It's always better to ask forgiveness than permission in life. I once asked a host on a AirBNB listing that said "no unregistered guests" if I could bring anyone over I met just for dinner, and the biatch blocked me!

Read the rules (eg, "no overnight guests" is bad, or "no unregistered guests" is worse) and I'd also read the reviews. They can often give you good intel. It's always best if the hosts don't live in the building. You should be able to determine this if there are enough reviews (eg, "my host came right over to the building unclog the sink" or, "she's always 30 minutes away".) Last thing you need is to run into your host in the elevator with some chica dressed for business. Awkward.


Just scroll to the bottom and click on "house rules". If it doesn't say "no visitors allowed", then you're good to go. It really is that simple. I would discourage against asking if visitors are allowed because everyone knows what that means and you don't want to expose yourself like that because now it's officially in your messages and your host might feel obligated to follow the official rule of registering every guest.

KingSanto.Yes, as Santo says, don't ask, don't tell. Asking just puts them on the spot. Everyone is very paranoid in Cuba, with good reason. It's never bad to have a cover story. "I'm here for business" or "I'm meeting an old friend who is going to give me a tour around the whole island. ".

Have fun!

[Alex40]

Thank you very much for your answers on my question about Airbnb, it helped a lot guys! Really appreciated.

But now I am wondering if it would be even safer to go to the girl's place (incall)?

Is that something sometimes offered and safe in La Habana?

Thanks for sharing. As I am a bit worried of the risk of scam of outcall: her bringing some unwanted people, putting pressure with more money or else drama, discretion around neighbors.

[KingSanto]

I never go to her place - but that's a personal preference. That's actually half of the reason that I bring them over in a LaNave. They never get the address to my AirBnB and I have home field advantage. I don't really have any safety concerns in Habana but still; you never know.

The other reason why I send them a LaNave is because I can see their live location and always know exactly when they're going to arrive. I despise waiting for a chica to show up so I removed it from the equation altogether. If she hasn't sent me her location, I haven't sent her a LaNave. If I haven't sent her a LaNave, she's not coming. Simple.

KingSanto.

[KlubbHeads]

Just the highlights at a high level. Note: My Spanish is no bueno.

Arrived Sunday morning. Taxi to Airbnb (Vedado, bordering Old Havana). Exchanged $300 by eltoque rate with the help of rental owner. My rental owner provided me a phone with Cubacel sim.

Did a walking tour of Old Havana. Around 9 pm went for a walk on Avenida 23, which is near my rental. There I found my first girl, $30. Overall she was good with her services (more like GFE).

Avenida 23 and Malecon were my goto for the following days. I've meet a few nice and sweet girls there, and also some persistent and clingy ones. $25 - $30 plus gifts / tips. I tried San Rafael but it was too much people and action for me.

One time I decided to let a girl start conversation about her rates and she quoted $100. I laughed out loud and said (through a translator) that I liked her self-confidence, but we were unlikely to get along. She replied that $25-$30 would do it as well)).

I visited several sights to add variety:

* Did a day trip to Vinales with a group of other tourists.

* Did a day trip to Playas Santa Maria del Mar with a taxi driver I met through La Nave app (he spoke some English). 10,000 pesos roundtrip. I also offered him to drive me to the airport at my departure day.

Rain. Every day, power outages. Every day and nights, at random.

On arrival to Miami was pulled to CBP room for interview. Was asked for how long I stayed in Cuba, where, how much currency I brought with me, where do I work.

[Nomars777]

My friend was in Habana and we'd been planning to meet up for a while, sharing trip reports, etc. And I finally say, You know, I've got some more PTO, so I take 2 days, plus the weekend and Monday as well, and just go. Using points on American Airlines and flew out early Thursday, 7 AM or so, arriving around 11:30 AM. Short stop at MIA for breakfast mojito (comes with bacon) and some food and then landed in Habana ready to go.

V&S girl from prior trip. Nani - load outside.

Arrived in Havana around noon, short 15 minutes in the immigration line. Arrived at my Airbnb around 1 PM, unbelievably quick trip through immigration and taxi ride also quick. Messaged my buddy, but he had 2 potential dates lined up for the afternoon, so I messaged my high energy girl from V&S simply by asking her if she wanted to "sacar la leche". She immediately messages back, "Si" and I told her to come right over. Bam, less than 30 minutes later, she's on top of me and it was game on. Very good session, as always, with a nice rope of cum on her back and ass as her reward. As always, she's a raw girl and it's stupendous. Great firm ass on her that has the most beautiful movement when hitting her from behind, it's backshot heaven.

Of course, after 4 previous trips during which my longest power outage was 15 minutes, this time it kicked in about 3:30 PM and was out till almost 10:30 PM even in the area of Habana vieja where they say it nearly NEVER goes out. I was staying on Calle Bernaza in front of Parque Cristo.

Well, first time for everything. Since this knocked out my internet, of course, I decided to walk to Bodeguita Del Medio and have my very first mojito there. $6 USD for the mojito and it's completely average. Nowhere near as good as the $7 USD one at La Vitrola, which is made with 7 year aged rum and is just amazing, so I doubt I'll ever go back to BDM for a mojito.

Restaurant Tout girl - $40 USD.

Left Bodeguita del Medio and walked over to the little plaza where "Esto no es un Cafe" is located and of course my favorite touts are there, pressuring me into buying a mojito from them at the little Italian place there. Food is mediocre, but the cute black older woman, probably 35 makes a solid mojito, so sure, I decide that's ok and get one for $4 USD, one for each of them, and they ask if I want a girl. Since my internet is out, I say sure, see what you can find me for less than $40 USD for a several hour session. They finally get one girl on the hook, she's a MILF, probably 29 or 30 and the apologize but say my price is too low to get anything better. Whatever, she's cute enough and I'm still horny. I buy her a drink, then we walk to my place. Turns out she's on the rag, but at this point I've got a raging hard on and want to pound, so I don't really care. Fuck her raw too for a good 30-40 minutes and bust a nice load inside her. Forget her name, doesn't matter, I wouldn't contact her again, but she was the cum relief valve I needed at the time. I told her to tell the touts that because she was on her period, I turned her down, that way she wouldn't have to pay them their commission, which I think is like $10 USD or something. Craziness.

Melissa. Street restaurant tout - $20 USD. Raw, tiny cumshot.

Walk back to my place and decide I'm hungry, plus the power is still out and so I walk around until I run into a skinny girl, holding who she says is her niece or something and she's trying to get some money to buy food. I say, look, I'm hungry, I need to eat, she says she knows a place, it's good food and inexpensive. The place will, of course, pay her a commission for taking me there. I say, that's fine, let me see if it's actually good. It was not bad. Small seafood place, turning right off of Obispo or O'Reilly, somewhere halfway between Parque Central and the bottom of the hill near the Plaza de Catedral, that way. She stays with me while I order, then leaves, I'm thinking she's not coming back, which is fine, whatever. She comes back though and I order her a small plate of food. I think the total, including 2 bottles of water was maybe $8 USD or something. She gets like 500 pesos as a commission, which isn't much, but better than nothing. I get up to leave and she points to the balcony above the store across the street and says she lives there and did I want to see it. I'm like, sure, why not. Always interesting to see where people live. She takes me up the stairs, introduces me to some family member who was on their way out and then takes me inside. Nice enough place, actually. Clean, well kept, looks good. She offers a chair and points the fan at me. Then she says, "hey, I'd like to make some more money, do you want a blowjob?" I'm like, of course! She says $20 USD, I say, no, $10. She accepts. Gets on her knees on a pillow in front of me and does a very good job on sucking my cock. I'm horny now and tell her, sit on it, my favorite line "Sienta te" and I point at the dick. She's like, sexy? Yes. She says ok, $10 USD more. Ok, fine. She mounts me and is incredible tight. Holy fucking balls. She's skinny, but has nice full tits, with big nipples, which are great to suck on. I finally turn her around and pound away for about 10-15 minutes, but she's complaining that my dick is too big and it's hurting her. Yeah, right!? I was about done anyway, busted a tiny dribble of cum on her beautiful black ass and called it a time with her.

Daniela - $60 USD. Pussy and ass pounding, cum in ass.

On the way back to my place, I'm now fully horny again, no idea why, but that's what Habana does to me. I have a raging hard on pretty much all day every day I'm there. As I turn left off of Obispo onto the street my apartment is on, I notice a girl about a 1/4 block behind me who looks cute. I slow my roll a little, she comes along side me and says, "Hi Max". It's always Max and that's how I know it's either my "ghost", or someone she knows that's she's introduced me to. Says her name is Daniela and that I met her the prior trip at V&S with the ghost. I'm like ah, ya. I remember now. Cute, dark skin, beautiful ass and tits and probably a 7 in my book face wise. Great body on her. I tell her look, I've fucked like 3 times today and I have no idea if I will be able to perform much, which she knew I was lying because my dick was already hard. She laughs and says, let me see if I can get your motor started. I say, ok, fine, come up. She does, gets undressed, takes a quick shower, so do I, and comes into the bedroom and just climes on top of me. Always raw with these girls, makes me glad I'm taking all my meds to avoid the STDs because these girls are wild raw fucking machines. I let her ride me for a while, she then wants missionary, and of course doggy. She says, "Max, $40 is too little, can you give me more? I need more money for the family." I say, you let me fuck your ass? She says, yes, absolutely, I love anal sex. Ok, done. Fuck her ass, then her pussy, then her ass, then the pussy, then I finally am able to bust my 4th nut of the day deep inside her ass and she even lets me smack the dick on her face a little, which got some jizz on her cheek. I ended up giving her $60 total, plus a few loose pesos. Well worth it!! What a day and night. I'm absolutely drained at this point and it's only 11 PM give or take.

Finally the power comes back on and I get in touch with my buddy. He says, "V&S?" I say, "Of course! We meet at his Airbnb just caddy corner from the Capitolio and walk to V&S.

Of course at V&S, I run into high energy girl from Santiago, Nani, who was my first nut of the day. Tight blue dress on, her ass is spectacular. She says, "Round 2?" I'm like girlile, this will be round 5 for me and I don't think that's going to happen! But we drink, dance, drink some more, drink and dance even more enjoying the night and about 3 AM my buddy says he wants to leave but let's go check out 212 real quick. I say yep, let's go and she and I take a bicitaxi after checking out 212 back to my place. Did get a number from a girl that I finished the trip with after my buddy chased her down the stairs and introduced me to her. He said, you have to go with this one sometime, she's great.

Back at the apartment, it was no sex with high energy girl as we both fell asleep but about 10 AM we wake up, shower, she stands out on the balcony in a towel with me getting some sun shirtless and she says, "No te preocupes, ahorita hacemos las cosa" Ok, yeah baby. We enjoy the sun on the balcony, go to the bed for another hour plus of raw fucking and this time while moaning she says, "quiero la leche adentro. " Don't ever have to tell me twice. Done, decent cumshot deep inside her beautiful pussy. I really do like this one. She NEVER messages me, ever, when I'm home, and never begs for money. She's just a great performer and actually a good time to be around. We go get brunch at El Cafe and she orders a salad, plus a sandwich and I say, "You do realize that you will never finish all that, right?" She says, "No?" No baby, it's a huge order. No worries, it's like $10 and she only ever charges me $40 USD for staying all night, so I'm good with buying her a big meal for her to take leftovers to her friends that she shares her place with. Never met them, wonder if they're cute!? Might have to follow up on that in future visits. Finish brunch, send her on her way at Parque Central and I go home to take a nap as one of my Badoo "not a jinetera" is coming by later in the afternoon.

Badoo girl Laura. Even better second round. Allowed me to nut inside - $100 USD (wayyyy too much for this one, but price is established with her, so I either have to stop altogether or get more time and loads from her) This girl, she's the one who licked the entire left side of my face before sticking her tongue nearly all the way down my throat the previous visit and fucked me for a good 2-3 hours raw on every piece of furniture in the house before ordering takeout via delivery. Shows up and it's more of the same. She's always very shy and timid when she first gets there, but then drinks a Cristal on the balcony, smokes a cigarette and is ready to go. Very good session, probably close to 2 hours again had her face down on the bed and pumped a nice load into her pussy. I was still hard, so we kept at it for another 30 minutes or so, but no more leche was going to be taken out. Sent her on her way about 5 PM, walked to my buddy's place and we went for Italian at Venami, which was literally around the corner on the other side of the block that my apartment was in. Super close. It is a restaurant owned by the state, as their exchange rate was only 250 to the USD vs. 390 or so street rate, but whatever, we each got a small pizza, we each got a baked pasta dish that came delivered in the pan straight from the oven and it all was delicious. I take my leftovers home because I already know that some girl will want them when they come by tomorrow.

We agree to head to V&S in a couple of hours, so I go back to take a nap before we head out.

As I intimated in the post about my phone being stolen, I was feeling it on this trip, which probably made me overconfident on the next trip, which led to the phone pickpocketing.

Either way, this Saturday night was one of the wildest Saturday nights I've ever had in my life Read on!

We get to V&S and it's a great time. My buddy knows this guy Luis, a big dude who basically acts as the body guard, keeps girls from getting too handsy, keeps an eye on our shit, in exchange for some pesos and free beers. All good, we hang at V&S from like 11:30 PM to 2 AM and it's a great time Went through probably 4 buckets of beers, giving them out to girls we thought were cute. Decide to go across the street to Bar 212. I like 212 more than V&S (well did before my phone incident) because it's more open, better sound, not as loud or so it seems, and it's just nicer. Doesn't have that mildew AC smell that V&S has when you first walk in. Drinks are reasonably priced, forget how much exactly but beers are maybe $2 or something, cheladas like $3 USD, and the vibe is great there. My buddy took this big titted MILF from V&S with us across the street and she was grinding on him like crazy, while a tall skinny girl was grinding on me periodically. On the way in we met a skinny dark skinned pretty one downstairs in front of 212 and she joined us at the table. After about 30 minutes of drinking and dancing, she says she wants to go outside to smoke and did I want to go with her. Sure, I'll accompany you. Go downstairs and she smokes, then says she needs to pee. But instead of going upstairs to pee in 212, she rounds the corner, to the left of 212 if you're facing it, but to the right of 212 if you're leaving it and heads to the back of the vacant lot there. Apparently the girls use it as a latrine of sorts. Smells god awful. But she goes to the back, squats, does her business, then comes over to me and says, "Fuck me". Ok. She's got this great black dress on, her body is spectacular, and I'm of course horny. So she bends over, I ram it into her and fuck her for like 5-10 minutes. She says, "Don't cum in me, don't cum in me" and proceeds to whip around and start sucking my dick. This is all good and I tell her to stop because I didn't want to nut yet. She stops, says, $40 USD. I laugh and give her a $20 because it was a wild time.

Now, it gets even better. Another girl had come down to use the latrine, in a white dress, they were yin and yang to each other, she sees black dress girl blowing me and me give her a $20, so she says, "let me do that!" Ok, fine. She comes over, starts blowing me while black dress girl took off. White dress girl is MUCH better at blowing. I tell her to turn around as I wanted to fuck her. She immediately turns around, raises her dress, drops her panties and I ram it inside of her. Holy shit. Wet, smooth, slippery pussy, it was spec-fucking-tacular. It was so good that I half nutted inside her, but held off from blasting a giant load because I wasn't quite ready for my night to end yet. In hindsight, should have just blasted it in there. This girl was nasty, she takes a little bit of my cum dribble off her pussy lips and licks it. Oh my god. So good.

I go back inside 212 and relay this information to my buddy. He's is dumbfounded. Like, wait, you fucked 2 girls you have never even met before basically inside a portapotty. Yes, not a portapotty but an outdoor latrine, but yes, exactly right. He says, "and people say I'm a dirty motherfucker, I think you may take the title! Too funny. The girls with us at the table know *enough* English that they're like, "No way you did that! That's super dangerous, you could've been robbed, stabbed, who knows what, and why are you fucking these girls without a condom. I play it off like, Nah, I'm joking and go use the bathroom. Come back, my buddy's had enough of everyone using him as the funds of the party, so after 1-2 more beers he takes off. The 2 girls who were there at the table with Luis want the party to keep going, so I buy another bucket of beers and we're just dancing and having a good time. Finally they decide they want some money, but I say, no, I'm about to leave. They say, wait!, and one by one, the 2 of them take turns blowing me in the corner behind the table. I'm standing by the rope that separates the main room from the back bar area, there's a table mostly blocking the view of the huge crowd of people, my back is against the wall, and these 2 are sucking my cock in plain view of Luis and every girl at the table next to us. It was OUTLANDISHLY crazy. I finally am like, "ok, everybody within a 20 foot radius is staring at these girls sucking my cock in front of everyone, so I decide to tell them to stop. " I give them each $10 USD for the fun factor and tell Luis he can have the rest of the beers, I'm out. Nearly paused because the super cute thin mocha skinned girl who had been watching these 2 blow me was giving me the eye like she wanted to go next, and I very nearly stayed just to see. She was easily the cutest one in the place I'the seen so far, but my funds were running low and I was ready to go.

OK, now you may think, how can it get crazier!? Don't worry, it does. Of course it does because this night was CRAZYYYY!

Hit the street in front of 212, walk up to Parque Fe del Valle or whatever is at the top of the hill where you turn left to head down San Rafael. Out of nowhere white dress girl that I half nutted inside sees me and wants more. I'm like baby, I have no more money. She says, sure you do, I know you keep it in that little pocket and it looks like you have something in there. Jesus. Her friend, in orange shorts and a tank top, pure hood / ratchet looking, but cute, says, "Fuck my ass" just out of nowhere. I'm like, WHERE!? She says, right there, in the corner. Yeah, ok, let's give that a shot. I tell her $10 USD, that's all I've got. White dress girl starts the party by sucking my cock, then takes it in her hand and guides it into orange shorts girl's ass. I actually took a photo with my now stolen phone of the shadow of the two of them on their knees blowing me before I ass fucked the one in orange shorts. White dress girls decides her work is done and takes off, another $10 USD in her hand. Orange shorts girl is bouncing her ass on my dick like a wild woman when she sees some cops round the corner nearby the park's corner. Freaks her out, she jumps off the dick and pulls her shorts up. We wait for the cops to leave, then she gets on her knees and blows me for like a good 10 minutes. I reach for my phone and it's gone. I ping it with my watch and she has it in her hand behind her back. Smooth as silk she took that from my pocket. I say give me the phone!! She laughs and says no and demands like $40 USD. I tell her no and take it from her hand. Then I start walking to my place, she follows me. I'm walking faster and faster and faster and finally start running. She's HILARIOUS, rips off her sandals and barefoot sprints after me all the way to my apartment. At this point, completely winded, my big toe on my right food absolutely throbbing because I just don't ever sprint, I say, ok, ok, you win. I leave her my expired driver's license while I go upstairs to retrieve a $10 bill for her. She takes it and my loose pesos, gives me my license back and leaves. Seriously the absolutely craziest night I've ever had in my life and then some.

It's now almost 5 AM and I am still awake and because I only half nutted in white dress girl, I really want to let one loose. I stand on my balcony and see 2 seemingly hot girls come down the street and seriously think about going downstairs, but after messaging my buddy about this story (he says, THAT'S ONE FOR ISG", tells me to go to sleep. Good plan. Sleep till almost noon, we go to "Esto no es un Cafe" for brunch and their absolutely fantastic green juices and then he has 2 dates lined up for the afternoon so he leaves and I go to my apartment.

Girls pinging my WhatsApp like a fucking pinball machine.

Racher (kinda like Rachel, but with an R) - ass, oral, $40, plus her sister.

At this point, one of the ones from last time who wanted to see me on Saturday but was on her period asks if she can come over. I'm like, do you want to fuck on your period, she says, no, I don't like it. I say, well, you want to try the ass? She says, it's virgin and you'd get a gold medal if you can take my anal sex virginity. Don't challenge me, baby, come on over!! She comes with her sister, not sure why, I guess as an offering if I decided I didn't want to fuck her because of her period, or if the ass was too painful for her. She is a TROOPER though, I get the lube out, slowly put the dick in her ass with her lying on her side and yeah, she made it about 15 minutes, which was about 10 minutes more than I thought she'd make it! Didn't nut, but did enjoy her tight little ass. Pulled out and her asshole was quivering, which was cute. She said, "I liked it, but I definitely would need to work up to that to enjoy it". Ok, maybe next time. She says, you want my sister? Sure, send her in. Name is Raily or something like that. Kind of has a vampire style snuggle tooth, but real pretty and a nice body. Obviously older than the skinny truly beautiful sister she has. Either way, more than good enough.

I go shower, the sister comes up to the apartment, she rinses off and we go the room. She says, "I really don't fuck without a condom and I really like having my pussy eaten". I say, well, I like eating pussy, so let's do that. I eat her pussy for nearly 45 minutes. Hell it might've been an hour, this girl is thrashing my bed sheets and finally nuts IN MY MOUTH. Hell yeah. Not a giant squirt, but a good amount of pussy just all over my chin and face and tongue. She's panting, quivering, just lying there and finally says, "your turn, put the condom on". Ok, do as instructed and fuck her for a good 30 minutes, no nut. I probably could have, but knew another one was coming over later and it's already 3 PM, so I pretend to nut, pull the condom off and put it into the trash. She hangs out for a bit to catch her breath and finally rinses off and we go out to the living room to drink a couple of Cristales with her sister. Give them my pasta leftovers from Venami and they're on their way in a bicitaxi.

Go to La Maravilla for some food and a couple of drinks, just worn out but still horny, of course. Thinking goddamn, might be the best trip of my life. My buddy says, "Dude for the encore call Mary, the one we got the number from on the stairs in 212, she's super submissive and treats you like a king, you'll love it. I say, maybe. We have dinner, forget where, and I decide, yeah, fuck it. I'll call Mary. She comes over about 4:30 PM, meets me at La Maravilla. I buy her a drink, gin and tonic, all the cubanas seem to like that drink, and an appetizer or some small snack. She is super sweet, very cute, great manners, and I like her nose twitches when she's talking. She loves that I speak Spanish as my friend does not and it's much harder to communicate via the translator. Finally we go back to my apartment and she takes off her dress. GODDAMN what a body. Perfect little pear shaped tits, big areolas, small but firm, really nice. And an ass to die for. Love her body. She immediately rips my shorts off and starts sucking me. Good oral skills. After about 10 minutes of dick sucking, she just climbs on top of me raw. Oh my gawd. Smooth sweet pussy, very wet and lubricated and rides and rides and then squirts all over me. Like a good amount of squirt. She's like, "What happened!? Did I pee?" I'm like, No baby, you squirted. She had never done that and was embarrassed and shocked. I said, it's all good, for some reason the shape and size of my dick makes this happen to about a quarter of the girls I'm with, so it's not a surprise and I don't mind. She says it feels amazing and wants to do it again. I say, ok, but lie on your side and let me scissors you. I'm fucking her like that, her legs wrapped around me, and every time I flex my dick inside her, she has a tiny uncontrollable squirt. She's gripping my sheets for dear life and I just keep doing this for nearly an hour. She finally taps out, says she literally cannot cum anymore and asks me to nut. I say, ok, but inside you. She says, yes, please. I love the feeling of a hard cumshot inside me. My kind of girl. Ok, get her on her stomach, pull the legs together, raise her ass a tiny bit in the air and pound away, finally letting go a giant load that just kept coming and coming and coming. Every time I flexed my dick I came more. Probably 5-6 small ones after the first big one. She laid there for a while, then got up to go the bathroom and it was just running down her leg. She sat on the toilet then called me in to see all the cum that ran out of her pussy. It was a good one. Almost as good as the Dominicana I fucked in Aruba last year. Just a giant load. Goddamn! She showers up, says she has to go look after her mom who broke her foot or ankle or something and gives me a beautiful hug and kiss. She says that was the best sex she's had in maybe ever and the scissors position is now her favorite and she's stealing it from me. All good beautiful, have a great night.

My buddy and I go eat dinner and then we go to his place where he waits for titty shaking girl to come over, because he wants me to meet her. She comes over and I immediately understand what he means by her being a pain in the ass. Super high maintenance, wants everything done for her, get me a glass, get me some ice, go get me a bottle of rum from downstairs, this that and the other. Finally I tell him, hey, I'm heading home. He wishes me well, I later ask how it went, he said she was such a pain in the ass he threw her out and called over "Golden Pussy". Nice.

It's late and I realize I have to go to the airport about 8:30 AM, so I go down to the corner bar and have my last mojito of the trip, while I decide if I even want to fuck anyone else. I'm tapped out, it's been an ABSOLUTELY wild trip, and I'm feeling very great after the session with Mary, which was one of the best ever. Mary starts messaging me about 11 PM and I think, you know, if I'm going to have a nightcap, might as well be with her. She comes over and it was good. Not nearly as passionate or wild as the day session, but super acceptable and beautiful smooth wet pussy to end the trip was all I could've asked for. Couldn't even manage to squeeze out a half nut, but after the massive shot just 5 hours earlier, I didn't really expect to. Was happy with my night, fell asleep and made the trip home the next day, already thinking about when I'd go back again!

Trip #5 to Habana, the very best one yet, and that made me want to book the next one, the phone pickpocketing trip!

That report, coming up next!

[CiscoMech]

Great report Nomars777. I think the more you go to Cuba the more of it opens up to you for sure. Arrived on Thursday with my brother. This is my 5th or 6th trip, but my bros first time so I decide to splurge on classic car ride pickup from the airport- $45. As I expected with all the "tourist" tailored activities these classic cars are overrated (damn near broke my back and sunk through the seat. Not to mention could feel every pebble on the road through the non-existing suspension). I would have never done it, but wanted to at least say I did it once with my bro. Not going to go into too much detail this report but just the highlights. In total I brought $500 ($200 to exchange for the weekend and $300 reserve) ended up with only $50 left after a 4 day weekend of eating good and fucking 2-3 per day until I legit had no leche left. Even tried to get my favorite chica to come suck out whatever bit of leche powder was left lining my balls, but she couldn't get it after 1 hour of trying at the end of my trip. Every street we walked down my brother and I got so used to saying "OMG she's bad as fuck". There was something for every type and predilection here. Even met a couple Japanese girl exchange students studying in Cuba. We never once needed cell phone plan or anything. My brother showed me that you can download the Spanish and English catalog in the translator app and use it offline. Just like the google map for Havana. And I showed him that if you screenshot your QR code for WhatsApp then you can do drive-bys with the girls- basically a 30 second interaction (the less time you spend in the streets talking with these girls the less attention you draw to yourself), I just say hola, Como esta, tiene WhatsApp? Then I show the girl how to scan my QR code- my contact pops up on their phone and 9/10 she thinks it's a magic trick because she never knew she could do that. I tell her escriba me as I am walking off and after getting about 15-20 of these I know that I will have back up options later when I get back to my casa and want to invite something over. My brother was in candy land and I can say the girls and the food and the drinks was the best I have had so far. Special shout out to the two restaurants that blew my hair back- La Maravilla had some oxtail enchiladas that where bomb AF, and for my carnivores out there, or the real deal foodies (you know the guys who go for the whole fish with the head on vs the fish filet) check out restaurant Ivan Chef Justo on called Chacon why Aguacate Get the whole suckling pig head appetizer- definitely an delicious experience). Every cocktail or meal I had was bomb AF this trip. My only downside was coming back home CBP also pulled me in the back and took my passport and my phone. They seemed to be doing it to a lot of folks. Luckily, as a card carrying member of the serial cheaters club I always delete all the picture evidence before I Come home (use privacy browsing when I come on ISG, WhatsApp disappearing messages, etc.). But I was still sweating while I was waiting because I had so many girls writing me and sending me pictures that I was just praying one of them didn't send me something while I was waiting. Especially since I have a thing for these undernourished pequena spinners that are questionable until you see their carnetas. I was sweating bullets. After only a few minutes though the agent comes back and tells me I did a great job "deleting the evidence" on my phone, but he trusts that all the girls I was with were all of age and laughs. But since I have a white belt in legal judo I know to STFU and neither confirm nor deny his attempts at entrapment. No matter how courteous and friendly this guys seems he is building a case against you. Without strong evidence or your self-incrimination any accusations they have is just libelous slander. Entire interaction was only about 15 minutes, but there were other guys there for like 2+ hrs just sweating who likely didn't delete everything and gave CBP plenty of evidentiary material to sift through.

[Nomars777]

I'm thinking that for future visits, I may just leave my primary phone at home and only take a phone of the other ecosystem for WhatsApp, maps, etc. That seems like an easier way to avoid problems upon return to the US.

Or will the lack of a whole lot of "personal" photos on the travel phone be some kind of flag that instigates further investigation?

What say you?

Not sure I understand. You don't have to give them the password or login to your phone. I always reboot mine before going through security etc. So that faceID doesn't work. Worst thing they can do is confiscate it and try to unlock it later. How were they able to go through your pics? If you're a US citizen, they have to let you back in, so it's not as if they can send you back to Cuba.

I was never one to take pictures and I am always just the better safe than sorry type so most of the time I delete chats and calls anyway, but this is disturbing they are getting this serious. I always kind of consider Cuba as a trip because of price and service but I always back out over it being just a little too run down compared to the options. If I was a little younger I think it would have been my go to spot though. Thanks for report.

[Alex40]

Hi,

I really would prefer to book a resort all inclusive with my favourite Cubana once casting is done after few days in air bnb. So that I don't have to manage food and have access to pools and beach and don't have to worry for safety of my stuff. But is it the good strategy to keep your identity hidden from your girl sharing the same room? And would all inclusive accept a Cubana much younger than me??

If you guys have experience on this, I would be happy to hear your thoughts and strategies.

Thanks.

[CiscoMech]

If you're a US citizen, they have to let you back in, so it's not as if they can send you back to Cuba.Basically CBP officers at ports of entry have the authority to search and unlock travelers' electronic devices, including phones, without a warrant. This authority falls under the "border search exception" of the Fourth Amendment, which considers that standard Fourth Amendment protections are lessened at the border. *You are correct that you have the right to refuse to provide the password to your phone and to disable Face ID, but if you do that as a non citizen they can deny you entry, while if you do that as an American it will just lead to further delays and you risk your phone being confiscated for weeks or months while they connect external equipment in order to gain access to the contents of your device. Just bringing a dummy phone is a good option, but so is thoroughly erasing everything before you go through customs. They do also ask you straight up if you have any electronic devices before they ask you to provide them.

[Jiniterinator]

Hey boys, just FYI, I'm an Apple guy, and iOS lets you have multiple accounts on devices, and they are deeply encrypted and it is impossible to know if the current one is the main one or if there are other accounts on the phone. MacOS is more involved, since it can present multiple login options unless you disable it, but it is totally doable. Windows has the same security stuff for those traveling with laptops (I always do since I take working vacays). I don't know about Android but I'd imagine it has similar security features too.

Anyway, have your alternate accounts logged in when you land in the US with some harmless photos of cars and cigars and some innocuous texts that you have some of your chica friends send you while in Cuba. Maybe even create a separate Whatsapp account (mine uses Google voice so easy peasy to add additional ones). If you are super paranoid, do an iCloud backup and wipe the phone before you get back home (totally unnecessary, but for the really paranoid extra secure). Impossible for them to know it's an alternate account logged in on your phone. If they ask why so little is on the phone, say it's your backup travel phone and you didn't want anything valuable on it if it were stolen.

If you have any questions about this, run it through AI (Grok on X is particularly good) and it will walk you through the entire processes.

Just be sure to turn off automatic backups on the dummy accounts, or you can wipe your real data on iCloud.

I like to take a lot of photos and it is none of their damn business what's on my phone. Remember, the 4th Amendment isn't there to protect the guilty. It's meant to preserve the privacy of the innocent. Also remember we were sold this DHS leviathan crap after 9/11. Now of course they are turning it on innocent American citizens for things completely unrelated to terrorism.

Reminds me of a joke.

Why did the Libertarian chicken cross the road?

"None of your business. Am I being detained?

So far, I've never gone through CBP coming from an "unfriendly" country like Cuba, so I never really experienced a phone or laptop search. I usually breeze right through. Generally, I feel a little salty if they even ask me what the purpose of my trip was, but the dummy phone or different profile is a great idea if you want to avoid delay and scrutiny.

Appreciate the response.

[KingSanto]

As a person that travels with 4 phones and had CBP check all of them upon return from Cuba, I think this is all being taken a bit too seriously.

From what I could tell (and the conversations that I was overhearing between customs officers regarding people they DID arrest), they are looking for seriously illegal stuff (I'm sure I don't need to elaborate). I don't think they're interested in whether you're in Cuba banging chicas or not.

Now, if you don't want someone else to see it all then yeah I get it, protect your privacy; but I don't suggest making yourself paranoid thinking they're going to arrest you for some sex tapes with women that are of age.

Remember that CBP and OFAC are different entities. One is checking for illegal activity, the other is checking to see if you're following the rules of Cuban travel. Banging Cuban women is not illegal nor is it against OFAC regulations.

Believe me, I hate the invasion of privacy just as much as the next guy but when they pull me aside, I'm never worried about going to JAIL or getting in trouble or fined by the OFAC (and you shouldn't be either).

They checked my phone back in January. I was pulled aside again one time in the following 6 trips and they didn't ask to see my devices again. Just adding my two cents in.

Correct; you don't have to give them the password at all; but as you mentioned, you run the very high risk of them confiscating the device and returning it to you at a later date (after what I'm sure is a tedious and long process).

I knew all of this information when they pulled me aside and that was the decision that I had to make when they asked for my passwords. I could have said no; but then I'd possibly lose my 4 phones (and my laptop) for an undetermined amount of time and honestly - if you're innocent - who the fuck wants to deal with that? And for what? Some kind of moral victory?

Thanks for the informative posts. Much appreciated.

[Adinga]

People with high profile jobs should probably avoid Cuba for a while -- CBP hasn't been this aggressive in a long time.

As always keep a low profile in Cuba -- this is not the Dominican Republic.

Ill be going back in May.

KingSanto.Also FYI the scope of their authority apparently only extends to the immediate contents of your electronic device. They are not authorized to access your cloud storage. For whatever that's worth. So their procedures dictate that they must immediately put your device in airplane mode before they start their search up until when they return the device to you.

If you guys have experience on this, I would be happy to hear your thoughts and strategies.

Thanks.I've done that, and I wouldn't recommend it. The problem is, if you want to book your resort in advance, you have to give the full names of all guests. In my case, that also meant I couldn't just book one room for me and my Cubana (much younger than me), I had to book two.

Since the resorts were pretty full, I booked my room in advance and got one for my favorite girl on Baddoo, too. Unfortunately, she just disappeared into her own room with some excuse or another. She only wanted to sleep in my room on the last night (okay, out of a total of just two nights) because she was looking for extra money. She was also constantly on her phone, video-calling her friends and family. Hell, even at the buffet. (One of her friends has even giving a live feed from illegally crossing the US border, so that was interesting, at least).

Anyway, she was a really good fuck, I'll give her that. Had all the neighbors cheering by hammering on the walls.

In the end, I paid for two rooms, and the time at the resort wasn't even that much better than in the city. Sure, you get the pool and the sea, but the buffet was more on the lower quality side. I ate much better at the restaurants in Vedado. The shower was easily the best part, though. Great pressure and nice and hot.

I wouldn't do it again just to indulge in the hobby. Maybe alone, just for relaxing. But to be honest, spending the days in Havana was so much better in hindsight. Maybe if you manage to get one room with a cute girl you genuinely like, it's a different story. But even then, I don't think I'd do it again.

The Reviews on Google indicate its a pick up point.

I found it after I got mislead by Airbnb with an apartment which was located close to 23 ave on the map, then after reservation the address was on 1 ra nr 155.

So, I took a screenshot of the reservation confirmation showing the location on the map way far from the address, and sent it to Airbnb asking for full refund, the location is not too bad but it wasn't what I was planning.

But anyway, In case I got stuck with this place I started looking at google map for close by bars, and found this "Up and Down", and couple reviews indicated there is some action is going inside, I'll review it when I'm in Havana and maybe we will be calling it "In and Out" .

I'll be in Havana on Sat October 25th to 31st , if anybody interested to go for beer send me a shout.

[El Griego]

Closed down.

If you notice, the most recent review on google maps was written five years ago.

According to AI, Havana, the capital of Cuba, has a population that is primarily of Spanish and African descent, with the 2012 census indicating 64% white and 9. 3% Black, plus 26% of mixed race (mulatto).

However watching videos of the nightlife in Havana.

https://youtu.be/8oIvpPCR_jM

It looks like 90% Nigeria, 10% Colombia.

What are the chances of meeting a lighter skinned Latina girl, or a white girl, and paying her $40 US for a few hours of BBFS?

[Nomars777]

In the last 6 trips I've gone, the vast majority of the girls in Habana are darker skinned, think milk chocolate down to dark chocolate.

Very fair skinned girls do exist, but they are in the definitely minority in terms of what you'll see on the street.

Badoo has quite a few lighter girls, so I'd get an account and set your location to Habana and believe me, you'll have more than you can handle to sort through. Once you've met a few, get their Facebook accounts, then you'll start getting all their friends adding you too, but that's an after trip, I. E. Planning for your 2nd, 3rd, 4th trip.

Basically, if you're like me and you like non-white girls, Habana is heaven. If you are only into light / white girls, you'll still have a good time, there's just a lot less to choose from.

Best of luck!

This is false. I'm going to assume you're trolling.

[KingSanto]

You can find them without too much hassle but they're more plentiful in a place like Santiago.

I've been there 7 times this year and I would say that 64% white is a stretch. Actually, I'd say its the opposite. 64% mixed and/or black.

Have you even tried?

Was there a year ago had some good fun with 2 skinny white girls. 50 euro BBFS. So I highly doubt 40 $ gives you 0 chance.

I wouldn't go back to Havana for the sex though, Colombia is so much easier and more to pick from.

Cuba is bankrupt, girls are desperate.

Cuba is bankrupt, girls are desperate.I got to agree that just the desperation factor that abounds in Cuba at the moment (energy blackouts / trash & dirt / no food and water / high cost) is THE REASON why I am reassessing my planned 2 week visit to Havana in November.

Now I have been living in Medellin for 10 plus years, you can't even imagine the stable of Paisa chicas I regularly see, all with great attitudes, GFE, girl next door types, friends with benefits and what for 150,000 Colombian pesos or roughly $35. USD and in the comforts of my home or finca.

Why was / am I considering Cuba? As I have everything I need and more so here in Colombia!

Just to mix it up, get out of my routine as my last 2 week visit to Cuba was in August 2015 some 10 years ago.

Then there is the cost per play of Colombia versus Cuba. Again my average cost for a fun filled hour or two in Colombia is roughly $35. USD but a budget for 10 days in Havana with air fare, airbnb, food, taxi and one chica a day comes to $2,100. USD! This equates to $210. USD per chica.

Help me square up this cost factor and give me a reason why I should travel to Cuba for P4P.

Seriously, if you're going to try to get cheap pussy, you already have cheap pussy (and HIGH quality) where you are in MDE, so that's not a reason to go to HAV.

My opinion only, I love Havana but for the reason that it's just got a wild wild energy that I've not encountered anywhere else in the world. When I'm there it feels like I'm stepping on a live electric wire that sends a jolt directly to my cock. It's just unlike anywhere else I've ever been. MDE is downright tame in comparison.

All that to say, if you want a change of pace, just go to HAV and enjoy, it's a wild place and I truly love it. The difference, to me at least, between girls in MDE (both Colombianas and Venezolanas) and the Cubanas is that the Cubanas are just fuck machines. Wild, enthusiastic, take charge, throw you around, demand more cock, fuck their ass, just passionate beyond anything I've encountered anywhere. Only the DR girls even come close for me on a "love to fuck" basis. Cubanas take the title and by a long margin.

Again, I would not go to save money, but for a pure change of pace / injection of energy and excitement.

Watch your belongings, people are desperate there and it's become more so over the last year, but go, have an amazing time and report back.

[DaVinci40]

Hey all, heading down to Havana soon. Thanks for all the info and especially to the post a few pages back that summarized a lot of the previous pages. I don't have your username on hand but a huge help. A few quick questions that I either couldn't find here or have but now can't find the post to get the answer and was hoping for answers:

1. The air bnb doesn't mention any guest restrictions, its an independent entryway so hopefully no one waiting around for me but does mention their are cameras on property. I don't envision there being any problems with bringing girls back but in case there is are there any short term options for bringing a girl back that are similar to the "love" hotels in CDMX or the 30 minute places in Bogota that the SG's are in front of in case I do get pushback from the owner? Ie. A cheap inexpensive bed to bang a girl on for 1 to 2 hours? And if so, where?

2. I'm traveling solo and just don't drink a whole ton of alcohol anymore. A lot of the posts mentioning V&S talk about getting a bottle of liquor or bucket of beers to get a table so I'm assuming that in order to sit at a table you need to do this but I'm also assuming that you can just buy individual beers or water at the bar and wander around / stand around? Guessing also that means that you don't get a table? If so, what's the rough price for a drink? Just want to make sure I'm not getting scammed paying a gringo price for something and being none the wiser for what the real price of a beer is?

3. This is such a lame question to ask and I feel a bit dumb doing it but on the currency telegram group (compras why ventas de usd) I've noticed and I think it's just a translation problem on my part, but it will say something like "Vendo (or tengo) 1300 usd a 437". Am I just reading this incorrectly or are they saying that they have 1300 US dollars on them and want to exchange their US dollars with someone for cup and they'll give someone a rate of 437 for doing it? Or are they saying that they have (which is what I want and what I think they're saying but I'm just understanding it incorrectly) enough CUP on them to exchange up to $1300 usd and they're doing it with a rate of 437? In which case that's who I want to contact? Completely confused as everyone posting on the telegram group seems to be wanting to exchange their own US dollars for cup rather than what I want which is to give someone US dollars and receive CUP and so I'm thinking I'm just reading it incorrectly??

Watch your belongings, people are desperate there and it's become more so over the last year, but go, have an amazing time and report back.Everything in Cuba is "con batido" short for "with a preservative" which means condom in English. Nonetheless, many Cuban girls have an energy I agree. As long as you use a condom they are friendly and sex is common like shaking hands. Cuban TV, I think there are 2 government stations, tells everyone to use condoms.

I recommend you watch your belongings from the minute you get out of the airplane. Not just the girls. There are so many who will grab your bags and carry them to a taxi, then demand $1 or more.

[Nomars777]

Actually I have had exceptional luck just straight telling the girls "sin condon", no condom. Sometimes they want $5 USD more, often times they just climb right on it without me even saying anything. So I'm batting probably 7/10 on the no condom front, which is excellent!

That said, be sure to take your DoxyPeP, get your HPV vaccine, etc. To be about as protected as you can be because there is some shit there, for sure. But so far, zero problems of any kind.

There's a reason I go on PrEP / PEP (and a Z-pack for good measure) when I visit jajaja.

Look forward to your report.Thanks and yes 10 years is a lot of time, question you mention that you experienced "the hardest issue was the lack of people", please explain, the youtube videos I see shows people, girls, a few tourists around and about, is it desolate?


Sounds like you are in pussy paradise. I wouldn't even consider Cuba. Bang on man.Thanks but just feel like I want to get out of my routine. Heck I watch some YouTube videos of walking old Havana streets and see plenty of pretty, natural, slender black girls which I adore and frankly is now harder to find even in Medellin.


Seriously, if you're going to try to get cheap pussy, you already have cheap pussy (and HIGH quality) where you are in MDE, so that's not a reason to go to HAV.

When I'm there it feels like I'm stepping on a live electric wire that sends a jolt directly to my cock. It's just unlike anywhere else I've ever been. MDE is downright tame in comparison..From your lips to Gods ears, exactly how I feel about a more raw authentic experience as I know everything and everyone here in Colombia, every city including my own being Medellin and need that same "spark of energy" in a new place, unfiltered. You get it!

So my plan is to get an airbnb in old Havana and just hang out, walk the streets, walk the malecon and Vedado, much like I do when I am in Cartagena or Barranquilla or Santa Marta Colombia. Perhaps do some day or few day trips outside of Havana to mix it up.

But my focus is NOT THE PROS, I get them by the wheel barrow full's here in Medellin rather the natural, clean, good smiling girl next door (NO PLASTIC), am I asking too much?

I understand that Cuba faces real serious economic problems, are the girls that hungry for $25. USD, how plentiful and easy / safe are they to find?

Thanks all!

The Tall Man.

[KingSanto]

I wouldn't suggest anyone that lives in Colombia visit Cuba. Personally, I refuse to go to MDE because I'm not paying those prices BUT you're getting the hometown discount which effectively eliminates that factor.

If we're talking quality of women, Colombia blows Cuba out of the water - especially if we're talking about the average girl walking down the street.

Considering your situation, I'd say Cuba isn't worth the visit.


Help me square up this cost factor and give me a reason why I should travel to Cuba for P4P.
The Tall Man.

[KingSanto]

1. Yes and no. Are there places you can go for that? Yes. Are they organized businesses like you'll find in Colombia or DR? No. It's more like "find a random person willing to let you bang in their back room" kind of thing. If you're meeting hardcore pros in V&S, then they'll definitely know a place or two.

2. You can just buy a drink but likely won't get a table. A beer might run you 500 pesos but it's geared towards tourists so it could be more. Depends.

3. Your first assumption was correct. You're looking for people that say "compro USD", not "vendo".

[Nomars777]

As many in the MDE forum have noted, the key to finding high quality, reasonably priced girls is to live there full time, as The Tall Man does.

This could be said of any of the big mongering destinations. Folks in Manila Philippines told me the same thing. You're going to get one category of girls if you go there as a tourist, a whole other cohort if you live there full time and at a much lower cost.

I'm 100% sure the same could be said for Habana. It's damn cheap as it is, but if you lived there and built up a stable of regulars, you could get away with giving them $20 USD a pop, which would be completely insane.


How do I find gems that ask only 150 k cop?

[KingSanto]

Yup. Agree completely. I didn't live there full-time but when I was travelling to Santo Domingo every 2 weeks, I built up a nice stable that would take 1500 ($24)/ pop.

In Cuba my baseline is 10 K which is $23. If someone lived there, they could probably build up a nice roster and get away with 5000 which I agree would be absolutely insane.

Has anyone heard about this strip of rooms for rent? Looks like you can rent by the hour or for the night. Looks a little like Love Hotels, but in the classic inexpensive Cuban style. Thought I'd ask since I keep seeing people asking about where you can take a girl. Just wondering if anyone has checked this place out.

https://youtu.be/9hE0aFkmKJ0?si=flYuQLMdQbN57K5H

[KingSanto]

Looks great. From what she's saying though, it appears to be in Pinar Del Río which is a bummer.

Looks great. From what she's saying though, it appears to be in Pinar Del Ro which is a bummer.I noticed that it's about a 25 min drive from Havana Viega, but I didn't know if anyone would stay around there at all. Do you know anything about that neighbourhood? Is it "too ghetto"?

[KingSanto]

I took a second look and I see now that she meant Pinar Del Rio in Havana, not the actual city Pinar Del Rio. I don't really see where it would be on the map but it's not a long street. I guess someone on the forum could find it if they actually got boots on the ground and looked around.

I'll be back over there in less than a week but I probably won't have the time, plus I'm never that far south so it wouldn't be a value for me.

As for the safety, I've never been there myself but I know some Cubans from there and I don't think it's a dangerous area at at all - again take that with a grain of salt because I've never been there myself; I don't think you'd have any issues though.

Hard to find a girl who would go bareback, unless you spend time with her and get to know her and her family.

[Adinga]

Tallman. You won't be impressed with Cuba from a mongering standpoint.

Today Delta Airlines announced it will stop flying to Cuba so there will be fewer tourists.

Its the tourists that bring the girls out to play and the girls currently working tend to be hardcore. The old school GF experience days are long gone.

OK why'all don't judge me here. But can one of you more seasoned Cuba vets help me out? My #1 chica in HAV been so good to me she got me wanting to set up an MLC or tarjeta for her that I can replenish when I am back home in US. This should be the dream for the cuban chicas. The good ones should be able to line-up American friends / family to support them with USD. I feel like if we want to keep the dream alive we got to reward the good ones LOL. Yes. I am simping for this girl big time and I know I am probably opening pandora's box here but does anyone have experience sending USD to support the cuban people? I'm not taking trips NOV-DEC because I'm home with the fam. But I do want to support somehow. I've had no issues with sites like cuballama for topping up phone creds. But for some reason I tried sites like fonmoney but got blocked even when using vpn it doesn't seem to cooperate. What's the best way to do this?

Don't be stupid. $100 a month will supposedly keep them exclusively for you. But the hot ones have multiple guys sending them $$. And when their boyfriend from Miami comes, they are not available. I had one 18 year old, I had travelled to Cuba 7 times to be with her. She wanted me to send her $100 a month but I declined. She was pregnant from some Cuban guy on my last, final visit.

Its the tourists that bring the girls out to play and the girls currently working tend to be hardcore. The old school GF experience days are long gone.Not entirely true on Delta. They haven't stopped all flights to Cuba. There used to be a direct flight from Atlanta to Havana but during Covid Delta requested a waiver to stop the direct flight until late 2025. Well that time has come and All they've done is extend the waiver. The other thing that has happened is that they've halved the number of flights flying out of Miami to Havana but it's not stopped and you can still fly Delta from the states to Havana via Miami. Just less choices on the times the flights go now. They cite low demand from the American market. Let's just be thankful they are still offering flights there.

Ask the girl who she knows who can receive USD in Havana via a contact through Zelle. They all know someone. The gig works like this: 10% on top of whatever amount you want to send your friend. Say it's $100, you will send $110 to someone via Zelle. That person will then send it to a relative in Cuba who will then give that money to your friend.

Don't ask me how I know.


OK why'all don't judge me here. But can one of you more seasoned Cuba vets help me out? My #1 chica in HAV been so good to me she got me wanting to set up an MLC or tarjeta for her that I can replenish when I am back home in US. This should be the dream for the cuban chicas. The good ones should be able to line-up American friends / family to support them with USD. I feel like if we want to keep the dream alive we got to reward the good ones LOL. Yes. I am simping for this girl big time and I know I am probably opening pandora's box here but does anyone have experience sending USD to support the cuban people? I'm not taking trips NOV-DEC because I'm home with the fam. But I do want to support somehow. I've had no issues with sites like cuballama for topping up phone creds. But for some reason I tried sites like fonmoney but got blocked even when using vpn it doesn't seem to cooperate. What's the best way to do this?

[KingSanto]

I went too hard in my first response regarding this topic and my post got nuked by the admins so I'll tread a little lighter this time LOL.

I'll just say that I strongly - but repectfully - disagree. That has been the exact opposite of my experience in Cuba.

But as the saying goes, "your milage may vary".

KingSanto.


I agree with Hal. The girls are all taught to use condoms. Sex with a condom is very normal. Hard to find a girl who would go bareback, unless you spend time with her and get to know her and her family.

[KingSanto]

Yeah the one in the video I know the general location of. I just don't know where on that street it is but it would be easy to find because Pinar Del Rio is a very short street - I'm not going to be the one to do it though lol.

Now as for the link you just posted, I hit the person up and got the location. It's still in 10 De Octubre but it's closer to civilization. Right next to the bowling alley that I like to frequent. The one in the video is way further south - I wouldn't even call it 10 de Octubre, it's basically on the border of Arroyo Naranja.

I don't think I'll make it to the one in the link you posted for this upcoming trip but when I'm back in November, I'll check it out one night after going bowling with my slim brown thang. Great find!

Looks like I stand heavily corrected on there not being love motels in Havana. Revolico is chalk-full of them!

KingSanto


Hey KS,
The ones in the video I'm pretty sure is located in 10 de Octubre, a neighborhood in la Habana.

Woah. Cisco talking about sending money to a chica? No judgement but I never thought I'd see the day. I thought you were the leader of the "hard on hoes" and the "I prefer to est alone" movements LOL. Hell must be freezing over - stop the press!

Anyway, throw the MLC/Card recharge idea out the window. On the black market, MLC is worth about half of the money you'd be putting into the card and I can pretty much guarentee she doesn't shop at any stores that only take MLC anyway.

Zelle is the only way. Much like Nomars said, don't ask me how I know...

I believe they shut that down again in February once it was revealed that the company they were exchanging money though was owned by the Cuban Government and placed on the USA Ban list.

KingSantoThe way I see it is we got to take care of our start players. The next generation of chicas are watching and we got to show them that it pays to treat us right. I'm just doing my part to pay it forward to the future monger community. You know call me Saint Cisco LOL. But for real though maybe I hit my head or something because this girl really has a special place on my roster that I don't even care about the rest of the roster. This the only girl in all my travels that take good care of me. As we speak she is sending me sexy pictures of her and of girls that are my body type and trying line up all my dates for when I show up. Not the disappearing messages that the typical girls send either. Pics that I can save and look at later. She's like a young mamasan who is also exactly my type physically. Dangerous combo.

[CiscoMech]

They all want you to send money. Don't be stupid. $100 a month will supposedly keep them exclusively for you. But the hot ones have multiple guys sending them $$. And when their boyfriend from Miami comes, they are not available. I had one 18 year old, I had travelled to Cuba 7 times to be with her. She wanted me to send her $100 a month but I declined. She was pregnant from some Cuban guy on my last, final visit.Bruh. I need to be slapped back to my senses. This girl got thinking about how I can save her from these streets. Got me Twisted like Keith Sweat. If it wasn't for Trump I might have tried to smuggle her back in my suitcase.

KingSanto.Hey KS,

I also will be back in Havana next week, Tues thru Fri. Maybe we can connect for a beer or 2. I will be staying in my usual area, off of Neptuno.

Shiiiiiitt I'm always down to link up for a few drinks and chop it up but I won't touch down myself until Friday. Still - as always - Happy Hunting. Bring us back some good Intel.

P.S. Check your messages

[The Tall Man]

I wouldn't suggest anyone that lives in Colombia visit Cuba. Personally, I refuse to go to MDE because I'm not paying those prices BUT you're getting the hometown discount which effectively eliminates that factor.

If we're talking quality of women, Colombia blows Cuba out of the water - especially if we're talking about the average girl walking down the street.

Considering your situation, I'd say Cuba isn't worth the visit.
As many in the MDE forum have noted, the key to finding high quality, reasonably priced girls is to live there full time, as The Tall Man does.

This could be said of any of the big mongering destinations. Folks in Manila Philippines told me the same thing. You're going to get one category of girls if you go there as a tourist, a whole other cohort if you live there full time and at a much lower cost.

I'm 100% sure the same could be said for Habana. It's damn cheap as it is, but if you lived there and built up a stable of regulars, you could get away with giving them $20 USD a pop, which would be completely insane.
Tallman. You won't be impressed with Cuba from a mongering standpoint.

Today Delta Airlines announced it will stop flying to Cuba so there will be fewer tourists.

Its the tourists that bring the girls out to play and the girls currently working tend to be hardcore. The old school GF experience days are long gone.My sincere thanks to all with your sound advice, balanced and reasoned suggestions as to why I should fly from my home in Medellin to visit Havana for a few weeks in November, the conclusion is NO I will not do the trip.

Not only the cost of the flight but also the airbnb rental combined with the blackouts, food instability, the heat which I never have got accustomed to (we have perfect weather in Medellin) and more so the the hardened pros with entitled shit attitudes and well no thanks.

And yes I typically on average give my girls in Medellin 150,000 Colombian pesos, these are for the most part newbies, some are single mothers needing help, others are friends of friends, they all have good attitudes, GFE, beautiful skin and Paisa smiles, and as one of you commented the only reason why I can pull this off is that I have 10 plus years here in Medellin, speak decent Spanish to get by, have a good solid standing in the community and have Colombian friends who know me well.

The last time I bar hopped and pick up chicas in Park Lleras, Provenza, Poblado was probably 2018, this was my playground from 2010 through 2016 but just has changes so much that it's not worth the effort so I leave that for the SIMP's and the Passport Bros and weekend warriors, hehehehe.

Thanks again to everyone and I wish you safe travels and much fun in Cuba.

The Tall Man.

[CiscoMech]

I've been to Medellíand and I'll say this- if I lived in, or had easy regular and safe access to Medellin then I wouldn't even bother with Cuba. Columbia has the most beautiful women in the world in my book. For me though the selling point on Cuba when compared to Medellin / Cartagena is the shorter 30 minute plane ride from Miami, the decreased tourist presence, the minimal risk of getting drugged and killed, the desperation of the Cuban chicas, the demand for the USD. It's just the perfect climate for me to have a great 3-4 day trip. I could never live in Cuba, though I could feasibly live in Columbia. For my weekend warrior needs right now Cuba is perfect. But if I was looking to go somewhere for a week or longer then I would consider South America or south east Asia.

I've also been entertaining the idea of traveling to North Korea lately. Using my non-American passport of course. I'm sure my dick would appreciate exploring some that secret pussy they got up there. Just to say I did it.

I personally don't do the long distance thing but I take care of local and / or in house regulars. If I found a Cubana that really tickled my itch, I would just give her enough cash to last a few months (until my next visit) at a time. Sure she may blow through it but at least then you will know if she is good at managing money. I am an odd ball but I don't see taking care of a woman as simping. When a woman takes great care of me (civvy or WG) on a routine basis, I for sure give her additional access to my resources. Now letting a woman run all over you, take all your money. That's a different story.

It is surprising to me that of all hobbies, you'd think this one would be a no judgement zone, since we are all taking the road less traveled that most people would be super judgy about.

I have no problem paying my starters above market rates. Keep them happy and off the streets. For me it's a rounding error so who cares? Still waaaaaaay cheaper than similar services in the US.

Anyway I wish I were in Havana right now. This work thing can be very inconvenient.

I only put it out there so that hopefully guys don't waste too much time judging and skip straight to the useful advice. However, sometimes a little brotherly judgement is good when it comes from a place of constructive advice. I know these girls are doing whatever they can to survive and thrive. I'm not delusional. I'm sure my girl probably has like 5 or 6 other guys sending her money. I wish her all the success. I found her on the streets so I know she belongs to the streets. I only care that she takes good care of me when it's my turn.

I am with you on the rounding. I find that the pocket watching guys are typically not in the same place financially. There is a level of financial independence that you reach where giving money away brings more satisfaction than saving. Especially when it can change a persons life so much. Trading money for someone else's time has to be the most value one can get out of money tbh.

In your observation of Badoo profiles for anyone used it.

Is the picture better or they looked better in real? T.

I think most didn't pick up on the AI enhancements or advanced photo editors like in other countries.

In my experience, they generally look like the photos. I've had some that didn't, of course; but for the most part they've been accurate. YMMV.

"Anyway, I had dates with 3 women while I was there, one mid 20's, one mid 30's, and one mid 40's who wore me out."

Thought I would add a few photos of the lovely ladies I met on this trip. Many other places I go they don't like nude picts taken, but these ladies were happy for me to snap some, even sent me more afterwards.

Has anyone heard about this strip of rooms for rent? Looks like you can rent by the hour or for the night. Looks a little like Love Hotels, but in the classic inexpensive Cuban style. Thought I'd ask since I keep seeing people asking about where you can take a girl. Just wondering if anyone has checked this place out.

https://youtu.be/9hE0aFkmKJ0?si=flYuQLMdQbN57K5HI didn't see any hotels like this. But I was spending the day with a gal living up near the airport. After having lunch she was ready for some down time, but she had family at home and My BnB was too far. So she started asking around random people in the neighborhood, and found a guy drinking beer with his neighbor that had a room for rent, $10 hour, attached bathroom / shower, TV, AC. His room was nicer than my BnB, set up as a guest room, we had to go through his living room to get to it. Guy was super chill, when we were leaving he gave us bottles of water and spent 10 minutes telling us about his grown kids in Miami. Sounds like these rooms for rent are not uncommon, so may be an option if you speak Spanish.

I'll probably just go with swashbuckler77 suggestion and just give her the couple hundred dollars I keep as my backup stash before I leave. As long as she does a good job lining up to talent for me each day of my trip. Just consider it her finders fee / holiday present.

[Trinpaul]

Is there a delivery fee?Yes. Its about $8. 20 or $8. 60 per delivery. Be careful, if you also order certain dairy items such as yoghurt, that is delivered separately so you pay for delivery twice.

Apart from that, I have not had any complaints about them.

[Jiniterinator]

Apart from that, I have not had any complaints about them.I ordered some groceries for my main squeeze in Habana. Damn good price on eggs rn, 30/$5.50. My local Target has 18 for $4. 70 and that's the sale price.

One thing I've done in the past with my non-novia chicas is do recharges for them and then deduct the amount from our meetup price. Keeps them loyal between visits and ideally off the streets (and off of Badoo where you mongers will corrupt them). Got to water your garden jjj.

[KingSanto]

This trip was a short one so I only have two days of reports. As usual, I'll try to keep it concise.

Got to the Havana around noon, easy process. Short trip so I didn't have a checked bag. Walked outside and across the street (as usual) were the taxi guys (they're normally wearing white shirts). Let one know that I wanted to go to Cerro for $25, he said "let's go". While he was pulling his car up, I stopped into the ETECSA store and put the standard 360 pesos on my phone line for 6 GB of data. I already had $60 left over on my LaNave account from my last trip but I loaded $125 more at 460 pesos to the dollar just in case. Which is funny because for the totality of the trip, I didn't get anywhere near spending all of it.

Left and I was off to the AirBnB. This one was nice; two bedrooms and a nice indoor terrace with windows. As usual I notified my money exchange guy the day before that I would be there so he pulled up with the money about 30 minutes after I got there. Exchanged $300 at the rate of the day (440 pesos) and then headed over to Pazillo Fresh. I got bottles of rum, tequila and a Bailey's type cream liquor as well as 6 waters, 6 beers and 3 redbulls for $40. Pazillo never disappoints.

Head back to the AirBnB and call the first girl of the day. Met her on Badoo. LaNave to bring her over, 12 K pesos and she's out the door. Rinse and repeat and being over another girl from Badoo. This one I gave 15 K pesos (a little bit of an overpay but it was worth it - sue me). Send her home and yup, I call over girl number 3. LaNave to bring her over as well, 15 K and she's out the door.

Now, that I've got the new girls out of the way, it's time for my Santiago girl. She took the 13-15 hour trip over the day before and arrived in Havana around 9AM. She stayed at her friend's house until I was ready for her to come over around 7PM. We have a very good rapport at this point so she agreed on trying to get 5 nuts out of me between that night and the following morning. I like her quite a bit and had already hit the 3 girls prior so I'm starving at this point and not pressed for sex. We go to Bar Maximo (I highly recommend) and I get my usual breaded fish and rice with a ceviche appetizer. She had some kind of shrimp dish; we both had drinks. Spectacular food for $27 I love Bar Maximo.

Anyways, back to the crib and we smash and play Uno. She somehow gets 3 nuts out that same night. One thing I love about her is that whenever I'm ready for it or want it, she immediately spreads her legs and let's me do what I want LOL. We shower up and head to sleep. First day is a roaring success.

Next morning, I wake her up and - you guessed it - she immediately spreads her legs no questions asked and let's me go to work - 4th nut busted. We head over to La Maravilla for their incredible breakfast. As always, they didn't disappoint. Back to the crib and we get another session in. I let her have the rest of the cream liquor and give her $100 for her time. Order her a LaNave to the bus stop and she's off on her way back to Santiago. She's definitely top of my roster.

Anyway, after that I call over a girl that I had met on my previous trip. She had arranged for her and her friend to come over and essentially spend the day with me. Before she gets there I go to a market and buy a pound of limes for the tequila that I bought the night before. Then I went over to Pazillo and bought 10 Cristals.

I'm not really a threesome guy so I originally intended to take turns back and forth and that's how it went at first. I hit the friend first but when I went to hit the original girl, she called the friend over and they absolutely fucked the living daylights out of me my goodness. After that I took turns with them in-between games of Uno and listening to music. Super chill vibe. I ordered Mimosa for delivery and we got a ridiculous amount of food lol. As always, Mimosa never disappoints.

Took a couple more turns between the two and sent them home around midnight. 9 hours of drinking, Uno, music and fucking. I was so exhausted. I give the girl that arranged it 20mil and her friend 15mil and I call it. Send them home in a LaNave, clean up the AirBnB, get a few hours of sleep and head to the airport at 6AM for my flight. Absolutely heavenly short trip - I'll definitely be doing more of them. I'll be back in about 11 days but that entire trip is earmarked for slim brown thang so I won't be mongering.

KingSanto.

[Eltayeb]

KingSanto, you had 60 bucks and added 125 bucks to La Nav for a short visit, what is the average cost of La Nav say from Gliano to Cohiba hotel, I just need to get an idea to budget for it.

[KingSanto]

I just put it in my app and that would be 2000 pesos. So about $4.30 at the rate LaNave gives you. I added 125 to the 60 that I already had and I have 110 left right now. When I'm behaving myself and only with my slim brown thang it's way less, but when I'm shipping girls in and out from all over Havana plus my grocery and restaurant runs - well - I'm sure you can imagine how it might add up LOL.

I always add more than I need because if I run out, then it starts to eat into my physical cash which is no bueno. I'll be there again tomorrow but I'm not adding more because I won't be mongering for this one so 110 is more than enough.

[Nomars777]

Man, well done! I have had good and bad luck with Badoo girls, but definitely more good than bad.

Does your regular hook you up with friends of hers? I've got a couple who have been on their period when I've visited and they just call up their friend or message them and send them over. It's a sweet deal!

Anyway, I had the same threesome experience as you. Wanted it to be one, and then another, but somehow they ended up in the bed with me at the same time. Never a bad thing!

Enjoy the reports you provide and I can't wait to get to Havana tomorrow about noon!

Last, for now, Habana trip report, but heading back tomorrow, 10/10, so I'll have another one by end of next week.

La Habana Cuba. Agosto 14-18,2025.

Laura. Thursday afternoon. So, for my last and final trip so far to Habana this year, I had been arranging a LOT of visits through WhatsApp, Badoo and Bumble. I can say that only 2 of the ones arranged through Badoo / Bumble ended up happening and only 1 was truly worth the effort.

One I had pre-arranged was Laura, my Badoo girl who's NOT a jinetera! She keeps telling me that, which I find funny because I'm fucking her and giving her money, so how is that not a jinetera? Anyway, I arranged to meet her at Parque Central, took her to my place and again she was nervous at first, but after a cigarette and a Cristal, she opened up and was as passionate as ever. Maybe because she's very reserved, it's always a little odd with her. If she didn't have a near perfect body, I'the probably not keep fucking her, but her ass is spectacular and she has the most firm tits with beautiful eraser nipples that just beg to be sucked on. So yeah, and since I've already overpaid her 3 x already, that is non-negotiable at this point. My only recompense is that I keep her occupied with sex for several hours to at least feel like I'm getting my $100 worth. This time got a nice nut bust inside her tight pussy, which is always a plus.

Isis Taymara. Prepaid - This girl I had sent some money prior to the trip (usually never do this) so she could buy some inventory for a little business that she's trying to set up out of her house. She sent me all kinds of pictures of her in front of the stuff she's bought and it was nice to see that *maybe* she'll be self-supporting going forward. Either way, she wanted to get nasty and wanted her ass fucked and so, even in my inebriated state, I obliged. Damn I was wasted and only off 2 or 3 mojitos. But with nearly zero food to that point, I wasn't super surprised at that. In any event, a good hour plus of raw fucking, plus raw ass banging and she was super into all of it, which was fun. Gave her some money for her cab and a little extra because I'm nice and sent her on her way.

Went to La Maravilla to see German, my bartender buddy, and get some damn food in my stomach! Once I got there, ate, had another drink, I had a WhatsApp message from a super pretty girl on Bumble that I'the been wanting to see, Amanda La Diabla. She said she was very close to La Maravilla and did I want her to swing by. Sure, why not. I told her I'the already been with 2 girls already and probably wouldn't be good for much, but she wanted to see if she could get the dick to rise. I said fine, but I need like 2 hours to get sorted. She said cool, took off on her scooter and messaged me later. Came by the place, we did the deed, she was a strict condom only girl, which is disappointing, but she was so DAMN hot that I didn't really mind. No nut bust, but it was a pleasant experience and this girl's face is so pretty that I mostly just wanted to make out with her while fucking her, so it was a win. Only $35 USD, which for a Bumble girl was pretty reasonable.

That "wrapped up" my Thursday, to use a condom pun.

Friday.

So Friday was a good one. Woke up late, had some food at La Maravilla, breakfast there is pretty phenomenal. My bartender friend says he has a friend that wanted to meet me, based on his telling her that I'm a real putero. She was all in. He invites her over, we walk to my apartment, he leaves to go do something and she and I head to the bedroom. She stops for a quick rinse off in the shower then comes in and goes absolutely fucking insane. It was incredible. This girl was the embodiment of what I love about Cuba. I lie on the bed, she says, "No condom? OK!" And just jumps on the cock. Wet pussy, amazing. She says, "you like girls who squirt? I say, "yes, of course". She proceeds to pop off the dick and aim a tiny squirt shot at my mouth, which I caught most of. Holy freaking shit. This goes on a few more times and it's amazing how much of a sharpshooter she is with this. Hit me in the ear and forehead too but most shots landed right on my mouth or nose area. Absolute insanity. Anyway, we fuck, we fuck some more, I finally pound her from behind and bust a nut inside, the whole time she's gripping the sheets and super vocal. Very fun. $30 USD. All good, amazing experience. I'd end up repeating with her 2 more times she was so fun. Has a little bit of a snaggle tooth, like so many Cubanas do, not sure why. But really pretty almond shaped eyes, and an amazing body for having had a kid, really great.

She leaves about 4 PM and I get a bunch of messages from another Badoo girl Arlet, MILF about 28-29 that said she was coming, but bringing her friend. I was like, "Yeah baby!" They come, we take a bicitaxi to the'Next Cafeteria where all 3 of us had a pretty big meal. All the food there was surprisingly good. During the meal they're both playing with my cock through my shorts and up my shorts leg, so I was pretty hopeful that the session with the 2 of them was going to be good. We get back to the apartment and it was all business, business, business, no passion, no intensity, very dry and transactional. I fucked them both, but it wasn't very great. The friend was actually wetter and more interested, but it was all condom, all "leche papi" type verbalizations, which I do not like at all. We finish, I did not cum, not that I expected to once we got started. It was clear they just wanted to do a "trio" and that that was supposed to be some sort of turn on for me and make me cum faster. They both were like, "Was it great?" I said, "I've had better, much better. " Fucking stupid bitches. Anyway, I gave the Badoo girl $20, plus the kid shit she wanted me to bring her from the US and gave her friend $30 and sent them on their way. They both tried to message me but I just ignored them. Complete waste of time, but hey you win some and sometimes you definitely lose some. All good, on to the next.

Estefani. Late beer drinking with my bartender friend and his crazy sharpshooting squirter friend ended up in another romp in the sack with her, she's a winner $30 USD and nice nut to close my Friday.

Woke up about 1 AM and my favorite from a year ago had messaged me around midnight to say she was leaving her panaderia job and asked what I was doing. I messaged her back and said trying to sleep but it'the be better if you were here. She said, ok, let me shower and I'll walk over. Showed up about 1:45 AM and it was DEAD out. No one around. No worries, we went upstairs, fucked for a little bit, but I was tired and so was she, so we just fell asleep. Woke up around 10 AM and wow what a fuck session. Jesus, this girl gets wet and is just spectacular. Plus I really like her, she's smart, enterprising has a lot of little things she buys and re-sells for extra cash, works like 2-3 small jobs just a gem of a girl. Busted a nice nut, we lazed around in bed for a couple of hours with another penetration session but no nut and called it a day. Gave her $50 because I like her and sent her on her way.

Saturday.

Late morning, had to check in for my move to a new apartment on O'Reilly, so I walked over, got the keys, then walked back to get my shit. Before I took a bicitaxi back to the new apartment with my backpack, I met with another one of my favorites from last time Racher, the factory. No idea why she has that in her WhatsApp, but it says "La Fabrica". She's a beauty, slim, from Santiago, just amazing. I figured a great way to close out the old apartment was to have her over and mess up the sheets there one last time, for this trip anyway. She comes over takes a quick shower, pops open a Cristal, and then we get to work. She does all the things I like, not the best BJ in the world, but not terrible, and she's so pretty that it makes up for almost everything. I bang her raw for a good 30 minutes, but save the leche because I'm meeting a true non-pro in a few hours and want to save the leche for her. Got to make a good impression on the non-pros, who aren't as used to wild time fucking. Anyway, give her $40 USD, send her on her way in a bici.

I wasted a little bit of time before heading to my new place.

Wendy - $20 for taxi - $34 for dinner. Triple nuts inside, absolutely one of the best ever - 100% sure she's a non-pro as she did not ask for any money apart from the cab ride all the way back to Lawton. I rounded up because I was it was spectacular and she was great.

So this girl is mid 30's, probably 35. Has the body of a 19-21 year old and that's no exaggeration. Absolutely spectacular. Black lady, kinda big eyes that sometimes seem bug eyed, but that happens with some of the slimmer girls / ladies and she is definitely slim, but with a near perfect ass and tits.

Met her on Badoo, she of course at some point asks what I'm looking for and I gave her the same response, fun time in the bed with good looking and fun girls. She asked how many I usually see during a trip, I said I was shooting for 2-3 a day. She straight replied that "maybe better if we just stay friends". She's a realtor out in Lawton and I video called with her a few times. She's a great talker, super smart, fun, has a great laugh. We made arrangements for her to show me some houses that are for sale, but first we were going to meet for a couple of drinks and maybe dinner, just to chat. Anyway, she shows up at my new place on O'Reilly RIGHT ON TIME. Perfect punctuality. Dressed conservatively, jeans, nice shirt, nice shoes, but nothing overly fancy, just "realtor professional". Very attractive in person. Same great laugh. We head upstairs to the apartment, which is on the 3rd floor. As she's climbing the stairs I'm admiring her absolutely fine ass and thinking, damn, I hope I do get to tap that because it looks absolutely delicious.

We sit down in the living room, chit chat, she asks for a beer because of course it's fucking hot as hell with super high humidity to boot. Air was on, so it was better, but the living room is on the west side of the building and given that it was 5 PM or so it was hot. We chit chat and she complains that her feet were hurting from being out showing houses all day, so I take this as my cue to remove her shoes and start massaging her feet. She was absolutely loving this and I worked on them for a good 15 minutes or so. She says, "Can I shower to cool down?" I'm like "of course", knowing where this was heading. She leaves the door to the bathroom open and I watch her undress just marveling at her body. GODDAMN, smoking. She takes a shower and I notice that she had some tint in her hair that dripped onto the bathroom mat and on the towels and immediately was thinking, "great, there's a landlord charge", but moved forward.

She goes to the bedroom to put on her clothes and I stop her. She's like, "what, what are you doing?" but with a cute smile. I tell her, lie down. She does. I notice she has a GIANT clit. I immediately dive right in on that thing. Oh my god. Super tasty, beautiful pussy lips and a clit just made for sucking. She's writhing all over the bed, gripping the sheets and I give her a good 15-20 minutes of pussy munching. At this point, I get up, and move her around a bit to get more comfortable. She has her head at the other end of the bed now and I move to touch her pussy lips which are just absolutely DRIPPING WET. I go to penetrate her. She stops me for just about 5 seconds, saying, "are you clean?" I'm say, "yes baby, I'm a professional at fucking and take all the precautions". I finger her again and make a little fun of her, saying "I thought you didn't want this?" She just says, "You were so nice to me and rubbed my feet and I changed my mind". Yeah baby!

Wettest pussy almost ever, slid the dick right in. Oh my fucking GAWD. Wow. Just spectacular. Tight as fuck, wet as fuck, super great facial expressions, especially looking over her left shoulder as we were fucking lying on our sides. She tells me she hasn't been with a man in almost 2 years and was afraid that I wouldn't find her attractive, that she wouldn't be as into me as she was, that I was her first Yuma and that made her super nervous, all of which is just making this whole experience even better. Glad I saved the nut for her, I really was. We fuck for I don't even know, maybe an hour, I have her all over the bed, multiple positions and she's just loving all of it. I notice that when I go from 2/3 in the her pussy to all the way in that it is opening her cervix pretty well and she just writhes in pleasure. So we do that A LOT. I have her on her side, she's turning left and looking at me while I'm penetrating her multiple times opening her up and she keeps gripping my ass and hips and pulling me in. I finally blast a GIANT nut inside her, just massive, I can feel it coming out even after 3-4-5 pumps, dick just keeps cumming. I stay hard and keep it in her. We lie there like that for a good 15-20 minutes just enjoying the post-sex glow, when I'm like, I think I want to do that again. We stay in that position and just do nice slow rhythmic strokes, she's loving it. More pumping, more fucking, more slow strokes and after about 20 minutes I NUT AGAIN. Like wow, she just sucked it out of me. Not as big as last time, but a good amount. I stay pretty decently hard, which I'm amazed by and we repeat this one more time, but with probably the tiniest of all possible nuts for the 3rd one. I was just so content I could've laid there with her all night. Kept the dick in her for at least another 20-30 minutes while we just laid there enjoying the post-sex afterglow. It was spectacular. I could not have asked for more. I say, "What time do you have to go home?" She says, I told my mom I'd be home by about 8-9 PM. It's about 7 or so, so we head to Restaurant Tabarish and had a super paella and some cocktails before I gave her $20 for her cab ride back to Lawton and called it a night. What a visit!

Shockingly, or not, I was still horny after that marathon fuck session and 3 nuts busted, plus I owed my sweetie a visit from having ignored her for too long, so I called up Mary - $40 - not as great as the previous times, but still a sweetheart. She comes over, we small talk for a bit, she gets naked, takes a quick shower and we fuck raw for a good hour or so. Just amazing, but not quite as "into it" as she was the previous 2 times. First time being an absolute stunner. Either way I just enjoy having her around, she's an absolute sweetheart and tells the funniest stories about her neighbors. We leave to catch a bicitaxi and that's when the rain came. We waited it out, then walked to the top of the hill where she grabbed one to head to her place, but had the guy drop me off at the entrance to San Rafael, when began my night of chelada drinking and my phone being pickpocketed at 212. See prior post for that story.

Next day was Sunday and after the phone getting stolen I was a bit philosophical and decided to just walk Prado down to the malecon and back. As I'm headed down, I see this curly haired cutie who had the most delicious walk. Sneakers, tight tube top with obviously magnificent titties restrained and I smiled at her. She sidles up to me and we chat and walk down the Prado. Stopped for a Cristal each and chit chatted at the bottom of the hill in the little park in front of Iberostar Grand Packard. We agree that it would be nice to fuck and she says $50, I say $40 and we both end up at $50, but for "sin condon" and no time limits. We walk back up the street that has Sloppy Joe's on it and get to my apartment. She's starving and wants to eat something, so I give her some pesos and she goes and retrieves a container of spaghetti from some place nearby. Surprisingly good. We drink more Cristales and she finally heads to the shower to clean up. Good fucking sex with this one! She, like all girls it seems, likes it from behind. I had her face to the headboard and just railing her while she was lying flat, face down. The whole time she kept saying, "Yes, yes, yes." in English. Super cute. Anyway, bust a nice nut inside her, as she had asked that I do, and we lie there and enjoy the post-sex vibe. I asked her for her WhatsApp and she tells me she doesn't have one. I'm like, WHAT? How is that possible? No phone she says. Ok, strange, but ok. She tells me that she basically goes fishing for extranjeros on Prado 6 days a week, gets about $50 per, and that she's the sole breadwinner for her family. I ask her what that life is like and she says, "Follar, follar, follar. " Just fucking, fucking, fucking. I ask if she's ok with this and she says, yeah, for sure. Sex is great, she really likes it and she only does it 1 x a day and most guys only last about 10 minutes. So not a bad "job", especially for $300 a week on average. Not sure what kind of lifestyle that buys her or her family, but I'm guessing it's not shitty. Close to $1 k a month, factoring out a week for the monthly cycle and yeah. Not bad. If I saw her again, I'the definitely repeat. Pretty face, could use braces, but she wears big blak rimmed square sunglasses with dark gold tinted lenses. If you see a girl like that, with a super great ass shake, take her for a spin, she's a winner.

Late Sunday, I went dancing with my bartender friend and 2 girl friends of his at Casa de la Musica and later at V&S more dancing to regaetton. Repeated with his friend Estefani at apartment, the one who can sharpshoot squirt juice into your mouth. Incredible talent that one. Fucked her for a good 30 minutes, stopped to drink some beers and they were about to leave and she went back into my room to get her shoes. At this point, I push her face down on the bed, pull the panties down, and fuck her from behind for another 10 minutes or so before busting my final nut of the trip inside her nice pussy. She just pulled up her panties, put her shoes on and kissed me goodbye. Such a nice girl.

Final day was a Monday. Met an older Colombian couple on the double decker tour bus. They had never been into Habana Vieja yet, but wanted to get some mojitos and some food. I had nothing better to do, so I played tour guide for about 7 hours taking them all over old Havana and getting absolutely sloshed on mojitos. Great time! Also I now have new friends who have a finca outside Medellin and 2 apartments, so another contact and places to stay if I decide to go there and "stay as a local". Just never know how things will play out. Great trip, even though the phone got lifted.

Heading back tomorrow 10/10 and can't wait to get there as my bartender friend has a list of newbies who want to "try out the American". This should be fun!!

First, damn you flew in, and had 3 girls that day. Then you bring in your favorita. I'm goin to guess your are under 35!

Hey you said you paid 360. To load up your Etesca sim with 6 gb. I assume you have a permanent line? I ask because I got my permanent line in August, and the Etesca agent said the 360 patmnet had to be paid with a credit card. Maybe your Etesca line is not a permanent line for tourists, but one you got from a Cuban under their name?

[Jiniterinator]

Great report Nomars, as always!

[KingSanto]

LOL, spot on. I'm in my late 20's. As for ETECSA, yes I have a permanant line. It's under my name and passport, not a Cuban. I pay the 360 pesos in cash at the ETECSA office accross the street from the airport entrence.

Idk what the ETECSA agent was talking about but next time they try that, tell them that you're not a regular tourist and to get fucked.

KingSanto.

KingSanto.Exactly. One other thing that always work is letting them know you'll give whoever is doing this a "tip" por el favor.

On my last trip I went across the terminal to their office and they pretended that it was closing time. I ask for them to do me a favor and flash some USD's and guess what? I got my sim reloaded in no time. Just be cool about it.

Mondo.

P.S. I always tip a buck or two whenever I visit Etecsa, also I take lots of Chase (bank) pens with me and hand them out. Also, doing this the ladies will fix any issue with your phone that will make life easier for anyone navigating the Cubano online world.

There is a health warning on Canadians and Americans travel advisory for outbreak of Dengue and Chikungunya diseases caused by Mosquitoes in Cuba.

Was there a problem with Mosquitoes while you were in Havana?

There is a health warning on Canadians and Americans travel advisory for outbreak of Dengue and Chikungunya diseases caused by Mosquitoes in Cuba.

Was there a problem with Mosquitoes while you were in Havana?I've seen a few mosquitos in Havana, but I've never known someone who caught Dengue there. One of my faves is sick in the hospital right now, but she doesn't know what virus it is. I think your odds in Old Havana / Vedado are lower than some of the more swampy areas that collect large pools of still water. Unfortunately a lot of the drains are broken or clogged, so even Old Havana gets its share of standing water. I think it is a risk, but a low one. I will be bringing mosquito countermeasures next month. Keeping your windows closed is the best practice. Most windows in Cuba don't have screens. Might be a good idea to bring some Vitamin the pills, which I take everyday anyway.

[KingSanto]

I never see mosquitos in Havana. Flies? Oh yeah tons of them; but mosquitos no. I stay in Vedado though so I'm sure that's part of it. I was there again this past weekend taking care of my slim brown thang (she got Dengue) and I stayed in Cerro this time - still didn't see any mosquitos. I've never really taken any precautions against them but then again if I was a mosquito magnet or saw them a lot, I probably would. Just my two cents. I'm heading out there again on Thursday so I'll report back if I see an uptick.

Ok let's summarize my last trip while it's still fresh in the old noggin. Been a real busy past few days for me. Came back from a Columbus Day weekend trip with my little brother. My ninth or tenth trip. His first. I try to give him the benefit of all my lessons learned without him having to go through the experience. *Before he even arrived he leans in heavy on the badoo app and almost ends up having a bad experience with this catfish until I show him that the street is where the real experience is at. Fuck the apps. The second these girls realize you are a first time tourist they will charge you the tourist tax and try to waste all your time. Just like every single other person you meet in Havana. After changing $200 and bringing a gift for my host. This is like my ninth time staying with him and he asks me to bring him random stuff like some laundry soap because "its hard to get in Cuba". I have my number one come by immediately before I hit the streets because most of the stuff in my jam packed suitcase is for her (roller skates, piercing kit, some clothes. I hide the rest of my stuff so that I have enough giveaways to last the 4 days LOL). She drains my balls very passionately and doesn't ask me for any money. So I send her on her way and go meet up with my brother for dinner and to walk the strip. We go to Chef Ivan Gusto for dinner and contrary to my normally frugal budget oriented self we ball out on over 60,000 pesos worth of food and drinks. I blame the excitement of not seeing each other in a long time as to why we threw restraint out the window. Really wish I could see my number 2, but she lives all the way in camaguey and there's plenty of fish here in Havana so I am not making that trip. After dinner I give him the night time tour of San RAF. It is unfortunately raining cats and dogs, but we don't care we are out and about and the girls huddle up against the buildings like little minnows. We get a few whatsapps. But I end up taking these two young girls I see on the street back with me just to show my bro how it's done (they didn't have phones). One was very eager while the other was hesitant and obviously inexperienced. I end up just hitting the eager one while the inexperienced one waited in my dining room eating some of the chocolates that I brought. I'm cool with that since I only have to give 10 k pesos to one girl instead of 2. I've learned that 3-somes are very overrated in my experience (maybe if I had 2 dicks then maybe). He is a little hesitant and I could see is struggling with this americanized sense of superior morality. However, by the end of our trip he ends up unlocking more of havana in his 6 day trip that I have in my 9 trips. Havana is like an onion. The more you come the more layers peel back and the more it exposes itself to you. You wrestle with the morality the first time, but then you realize there is no were else like it and once you dare to return the second time then you as they say you are officially cuban now. You realize that the west coast is the all you can eat young pussy buffet*capital of the west and YOLO. Day 2 I have my number one come by with her sister in the morning as I promised that I would make them a true American breakfast. Made them some thick crispy bacon, eggs, crispy fried hash browns and Nutella stuffed pancakes. Then I stuff them both with my own cream filling. My girl tells me that her birthday is next month so I let them both have their pick of some of the sexy underwear and dresses that I brought and enjoyed watching them both model them for me. I then give my girl $200 and tell her it's her birthday gift. And her sister gets 10000 pesos and also one of the sex toys that I brought. I send them other way and get ready to go meet up with my brother to walk the streets now that the rain is over and we go to maravilla for lunch. The food was amazing and we spent a fraction of what we spent the night before and were full and happy. During the meal we see a fellow monger walk in accompanied by a tall drink of water. We all lock eyes with each other, each wondering if the other was KingSanto. Turns out is was Nomars777 LOL. I Think we should nominate maravilla as the official monger HQ. He gives us some good recommendations and We shoot the shit for a bit. FYI the little park outside of maravilla is also great hunting grounds. On my way out I get the whatsapp for this absolutely beautiful young negrita spinner who I unfortunately didn't have enough time to hit before I left. I still dream about her and she still hits me up. Unfortunately due to numerous power outages and having to take 9 flights of stairs 3 times that day so I ended up just going to bed this night. We did go to Sibarita this night as they were the only place that we saw that had their own generator during the outage. This is the first trip that I have taken where I actually was affected by any power issues. Day 3 we hit up Almacenes San Jose Mercado Artesanal. The place to go if you want to buy any souvenirs from Cuba. It is basically a massive warehouse where all the vendors come to peddle their wares. Tons of amazing art and everything is negotiable. I see a lot of Chinese folks here buying great art at discount prices. I know one thing if you see the Chinese spending money then there is money to be made. However I am not much of an art connoisseur. Today I meet this young skinny flaquita in the street. She speaks perfect English and catches me off guard. She is aggressive and wants to come to my apartment and by my best girl. She moves fast but I love her energy and enthusiasm. She wants to take me to bed and strips down to reveal the skinniest white girl body I've ever seen. This girl so skinny her hip bones almost cut me. She tells me she loves big guys and I tell her I love skinny girls. We go together perfect because she is 1% body fat and I'm 99% body fat. I tell her she is my number 2 girl if she wants the position and she says she will take it and try to become number 1. I tell her I want to cum inside her and after a little hesitation she says ok because she wants to become my favorite. I wish I had found this girl sooner because we get along so well. I give her $150 and tell her I will se her again. I send her back to the streets and tell my numero uno to come by with her sister and I will make them dinner tonight. Ended up making some brisket burnt ends that I brought with me and some sazon seasoned rice for them and watching some disney+. I send the sister home because I didn't feel like paying her tonight and my girl stays with me entire night and we have a night session and a morning session. I give her the rest of my money minus what I needed for the cab ride to the airport ($50+9000 pesos) and tell her I'll be back after the holidays in January. I ended up blocking the flaquita after I got home because she wouldn't stop calling and texting me with all types of crazy requests for money. My numero uno sends me a picture of a shiny new cuban washing machine in a dilapidated apartment with a thank you note. I tell her hey I am glad I could make ad difference supporting the cuban people. LOL.

[John Clayton]

Ok let's summarize my last trip while it's still fresh in the old noggin... LOL.Can you divide it into paragraphs? It's a little hard on my old eyes.

[KingSanto]

So this was my second trip of the month. I arrived on a Friday. This one wasn't planned but my slim brown thang came down with Dengue (nasty mosquito-borne virus), so I arrived with Tylenol and hard dick! A potent combo indeed!

Trip there was smooth, no need to head to the ETECSA office since I still had data from my trip the week prior. Like I said in my previous post, I also didn't add any money to my LaNave account. I have $110 left on it which is more than enough for 3 days.

My taxi guy meets me at the airport and we head over to the AirBnB for $25. I then have him take a bottle of Tylenol to one of my top performers who ALSO got Dengue. Shit is spreading like wildfire. Per usual, I had contacted my money guy the day before so he arrived to the AirBnB 10 minutes after I did. Exchanged at 465 which was the ElToque rate at the time. Quick shower and it's go time.

I hit up a girl that I had actually met on a previous trip outside of La Maravilla (the park across the street), but didn't have time to hit. I send her a LaNave and she's at my place in literally 5-10 minutes. Now this girl was a true performer. Thick in all the right places and accomodating to everything I wanted to do. We agreed on 10K prior to the meetup but I ended up giving her 13K for the steller performance. Ordered another LaNave and she's out the door. LaNave cost to bring her and take her back came out to $5.88 total. Magnificent play.

Anyway, I shower up and have one of my trusted taxis bring over slim brown thang. I had already made an appointment for that the day before so I didn't have to do too much. I give her another bottle of Tylenol for the Dengue and she welcomes me to Cuba in true KingSanto fashion! She reminds me every time I see her why her #1 spot is undisputed!

After that, we head over to this restaurant in Vedado named "La Mixologa". A little expensive but it's got a really, really interesting setup where the tables are actually on top of each other. Like you're sitting directly above another patron. Not necessarily a "can't miss" spot but look it up on Instagram - it's a cool experience. Food was excellent and so was the staff; I have the spot rated at 4.6 in my notes. After that, straight to PazilloFresh to load up on groceries. Spent the rest of the day banging out slim brown thang so I won't bore you guys with that.

The next day I went to La Maravilla for breakfast. Awesome as always. Then got a haircut at Imperial Barbershop (ask for Daniel). Later on in the day, I went to this coffee shop located directly next to PazilloFresh named Cafezillo. They sell coffee (including all the sugary variations), milkshakes and Cuban sandwiches. It's super cheap. It has an insanely good vibe and atmosphere that's honestly perfect for a cheap "date" before you take a chica home and bang her out; I have it rated at 4.8. It's also open 24 hours.

Lastly, we went to dinner at this spot named "New Georges" in Vedado right off Paseo. It's down the street from PazilloFresh and Cafezillo. Listen, the value to food ratio at this place is unmatched. Two appetizers, two huge entres and drinks for $22. Excellent staff, excellent food, excellent ambiance. I recommend sitting on the balcony if it's available. This spot is a must visit; seriously. 4.8 in my notes. Yes, I know my scores for all of these spots seem a little high, but that's because I only mention the best of the best. I'm assuming you don't want to visit the ones that I have rated at 3.5 right? Exactly!

That's it for this trip, not too much happened but I took another two trips after this so more reports coming soon!

I've also been entertaining the idea of traveling to North Korea lately. Using my non-American passport of course. I'm sure my dick would appreciate exploring some that secret pussy they got up there. Just to say I did it.I also have two passports: USA and a So American country.

Do you use your non-US passport for Cuba? If too personal, you can PM me.

[KingSanto]

I personally don't see the point of doing this. All of the restrictions are on the U.S. side. Cuba doesn't care whether you're American or not - it won't make a difference on your experience while in Cuba. They also don't stamp American passports; so I struggle to see the point of entering Cuba specifically with your non-U.S. Passport. Unless you want a stamp in your non-U.S. Passport for posterity or something.

Don't get me wrong, it's totally legal and there's nothing stopping you from doing it - I just don't see the benefit.

KingSantoThanks for reply. Much appreciated! I was aware Cuba does not stamp US passports. The purpose to use my second passport is to minimize any issues with the US State Dept.

[CiscoMech]

Thanks for reply. Much appreciated! I was aware Cuba does not stamp US passports. The purpose to use my second passport is to minimize any issues with the US State Dept.You always use your American passport when leaving or entering the US. When traveling to Cuba you have to use whatever passport is on your e-visa. Simple as that. I only bring up the non-american passport for traveling to North Korea because you cannot travel there with a US passport unless special invite from what I understand. And good luck getting one of those. Thats really the only place I can think where US passport is useless. The only thing you are restricted from doing in Cuba is spending money to support the government.

Alright so this report is for my third trip of October (yes, I know I'm ODing on Cuba - it is what it is)

I'm sure you guys know the drill already but I'll run through it anyway. I still had like $80 on my LaNave after my trip the previous weekend (only spent $30 in taxis that time) - but you never know so I load another $60 onto it. NovelaCuba for the $25 Visa and I'm ready to go.

Another smooth trip and I touch down in Havana. I've got two girls on my list. One is a regular that lives in Casablanca. The other is new and lived in Habana Vieja. My AirBnB is in Vedado this time. I'm on a heavy time crunch so this isn't going to work. If LaNave was like Uber and I could order two at the same time then it would be fine - have one girl on her way to me while the one I just finished with is on her way home - but LaNave only let's you order one at a time. Solution? I get a $25 AirBnB in Habana Vieja. Duh!

I fly through customs and meet up with my normal airport driver and he takes me to the Habana Vieja spot for the standard $25. I hop in the shower and I'm ready. I call over the new girl first - she's in Havana Vieja 3 streets down. I could've made her walk but hey - I'm a gentleman. Maaaaaannnnnn she was absolutely stunning in person. I grab her out of the LaNave, take her into the AirBnB and absolutely go to town - pound town, that is. I give her 15K. Yes, I overpaid but this one was worth it - onto the roster she goes!

Send her home, she's there in 2 minutes obviously and my regular is waiting on me so I send her a LaNave now. Casablanca isn't too far from Habana Vieja so she gets to me in around 15 minutes. She's a regular for a reason - incredibly consistent. She knows about my time crunch so she walks in, takes off her clothes and gets right to business unbuckling my pants. Man I love Cuba. 10K and she's out the door.

Okay so now those two are out of the way. Fast too, it's only been about 3 hours since I arrived in Cuba. I take a LaNave to my Vedado spot. I had already arranged a normal taxi the day before for my slim brown thang so she arrives at the apartment pretty much at the same time I do. I get situated and we head over to La Maravilla for lunch. This is my first meal of the day so now I'm revitalized. Back to the AirBnB and - BAM BAM BSM like FLINTSTONES - she welcomes me back to Cuba in true KingSanto fashion!

It's Thursday so we just hang out and rest for a bit, then head to Johnny nightclub. I had already made my reservation the day before. Good vibes, Ja Rulay performs on Thursdays so Johnny's is generally packed on that day and today was no different. Three quarters of a tequila bottle later and we're back at the AirBnB around 5AM - absolutely shitfaced in true KingSanto fashion.

Friday, I wake up, La Maravilla breakfast - bacon on point! I bang out slim brown thang again obviously but I won't bore you guys with that. Later that night we head to a rooftop bar named El De Frente. Listen, excellent place to take a girl, smoke a cigar and have a drink. Also great for having a drink and smoking cigars just with your buddies. Didn't try the food because they specialize in being a bar but the drinks were top notch and cheap.

Now, its Friday night so you know where I'm going. LM. Velito. Shitfaced in true KingSanto fashion - let's skip past that you guys know the drill.

Saturday - my last day, we just chill out. I've been shitfaced two straight nights so I need a second to breath lol. I order some pasta from Mimosa for delivery and as always it's fire. Later that night - believe it or not - I actually pull up to LM again because Wampi is performing and I like his music. He put on a great show. Shitfaced 3 times in a row, get home, bang out slim brown thang and that's it for my third trip of the month.

Lol. Thank you for the kind words. I've definitely slowed down on my mongering, but the least I can do is provide info on the best places to eat/spend time in Havana. As well as how to keep expenses down - at least that's the goal.

Happy Hunting,

Its been a while since I went to Cuba. Been there 5 times pre pandemic and exploring other countries to stike of the bucket list items.

I am seeing some good flight deals from Toronto to Varadero these days (below $300 RT) and getting tempted to come back one more time.

I guess I am trying to catch up these new stuff like ride sharing app, mobile phone wallet etc.

Learnt few new things from your recent trip reports and thank you for the details.

Keep posting the good stuff man. Hope to cross our paths at.

Hey fellow enthusiasts,

I have a question regarding cash. Since US credit cards don't work in Cuba, how much cash do you guys usually bring?

I guess 5-6 days of mongering how much should I bring? I know it's individual but wondering how much money you guys drop per trip.

Including flight, hotel, food, and of course girls.

I want to session couple of times a day, I don't need a luxurious place to stay just something decent and food I don't mind going to nice restaurants maybe two or three dinners per trip.

What are some areas you guys recommend to stay to have convenient access to all the fun stuff.

Also, can you bring the blue pill over to Cuba?

Sorry I haven't traveled anywhere internationally and it's my first post.

[Jiniterinator]

BAM BAM BSM like FLINTSTONESI must have missed the BSM episodes of the Flintstones. I'm going to have to search for those on YouTube!

A WEALTH of information in this thread.

You're not going to find a lot of people sharing their AirBNB spots, because they are territorial about them (if my favorite place is booked, I can't book it). If you are American you can't do the hotels, or shouldn't under US law (I am a lawyer but not your lawyer so this is not legal advice).

King Santo has chronicled the best eating places (he will post more on this soon so I won't steal his thunder haha). I'm the opposite of a foodie so I'll have to pass on restaurant advice.

Money is a tough question. I'd segregate the flight and AirBNB costs, since you will pay those in advance. Others here have discussed price-per-chica (PPC). YMMV.

Yes you can bring the blue (and yellow) pills here. They are supposedly available here if you run out. Supermarket 23 has them listed as in stock. But much easier to bring them if you can.

Some espanol goes a long way, BTW. Pay it forward with a trip report.

Sorry I haven't traveled anywhere internationally and it's my first post.You've never traveled overseas and chose Cuba as your first destination? I think you should reconsider. All the elements, E. G, ride app, cell service, money, is unique. Maybe go to Mexico. If that goes well, maybe try Cuba.

[CiscoMech]

I always cringe when guys on a forum put a noob on blast for not reading the previous posts a little, but you might want to do that. A WEALTH of information in this thread.Man don't feel sorry for these jokers LOL. Better we crucify them here than have them learn on the streets. We got to blast them for they own good. The stakes are too high to let them end up on the wrong side of the Cuban or American government or in extremes on la Calle thinking they were going to Disneyland or something. Cuba is not a vacation destination unless you do your due diligence and know exactly wtf your are doing. You want vacation experience go to Mexico or the recently sanitized DR.

As for the original question though... after you take out your travel and accommodation costs... I would recommend $100 per day for chica and food ($25 per chica leaving $50 for food). This should be more than enough... but then I would double it to give yourself a safety net.... so for 5- days bring $1,000 and leave $500 in the safe as a safety net.

[KingSanto]

No problem; here to help. This forum allowed me to hit the ground running in Cuba so it's how I give back. Hopefully others that have learned from this forum do the same so that we can all have the latest and greatest info.

Man you still hitting it out of the park, happy for you.

Question: I've never funded the wallet with La Nave, can I do it from here (USA) or when I arrive in Cuba? Also, you fund it with USD or CUP? I'd think CUP but want to make sure.
Also, I think you mentioned the rides are paid close to the exchange street rate that day, right? Any haggling about the rate or is it straight forward on La Nave's driver part?

TIA.

Hi guys,

Thanks for great info here on the forum. I'm in the planning of a trip to the beautiful country of Cuba.

I was just wondering; where would you guys say is the best place to pick up younger girls, like 18-20 years of age?

And where would you say one can find the most gorgeous women in Havana for fun.

[Nomars777]

Badoo is very popular with the Cuban girls, also use Facebook, but that's a bit trickier as you first have to find one, be her friend, then add all her friend, etc.

Set your location in Badoo to Habana 2=3 weeks before your trip, set the age range you want 18-20, etc. Then wait for them to hit you up while you go through the encounters and, if you pay to message, you can also message them straight off. I didn't want to pay to message, so I just waited for girls to like my profile and went from there.

I've been with 6 Badoo girls total so far, all have been fun, but truly only 3 were great. One non-pro realtor was absolutely spectacular. 2 younger girls, 1 spectacular, 1 great. The other 3 were completely average and a waste of money although they looked good on screen.

But honestly, just get there and start walking the streets. Take your time, smile at girls, my favorite thing about Habana is that every girl is available. Every single one. If you're nice, smile, ask them if they'd like to go get a snack and a Cristal or a mojito, etc. You're off to the races. So many pretty girls in the streets, sitting on the steps, hanging out in the parques, no end to options.

Best of luck and report back!

[KingSanto]

Before, I answer your question, I just want to let you know that I think you're absolutely fried for picking Cuba as your first international destination. This is not an intelligent choice. Having said that, I'm not here to judge, I'm here to help, so I will provide the information that I can - I just had to give my two cents first. Hopefully admins don't send to this post to the gulag and strike my account again lol.

Your question is tough to answer because everyone has wildly different spending habits but I'll try my best to help you. As far as areas to stay, I'm going to side with Jiniterinator and Cisco and tell you to read the forum. May sound boring but trust me, there's a treasure trove of information here. For my first Cuba trip, I read everything 18 months back and onward but I would say that might've been overkill. I recommend 6-12 months.

Now, the cash. Split the AirBnB and Flight as a separate expenses like Jiniterinator said. You don't want to muddy the waters and that money is gone before you even touch down so no point in talking about it. AirBnB's are very cheap though, you'll definitely find something you like for a good price.

Food is easy. If you're going to be eating alone, $10-25 per meal is the mark depending on if it's breakfast, lunch or dinner - and these are GOOD meals. Multiply that by how many meals you're going to have. If you read the forum, you'll have a long list of good restaurants to try when you touch down.

Girls is up to you and it varies WILDLY, it can be anywhere from $15-$100 and depends on a variety of factors. I suggest deducing what you're willing to pay on average and multiplying it by how many women you want to have.

Yes, you can bring the blue pills; if you run out, they are readily available - if you know how to get them - but since it's your first time, I would bring your own because it's not like you can just walk into a pharmacy and get them.

Oh - and for the love of all things holy, bring a good amount of reserve cash because anything can happen.

HAHAHAHA nothing sexual in the show of course; but the kid's name is "Bam Bam" and he's the one that slams the dad back and forth like 8 times every other episode. So I just enjoy saying BAM BAM BAM BAM like FLINTSTONES. I think it has a nice ring to it lol.

[KingSanto]

They charge you in USD but put CUP in your actual wallet. It shows you how much CUP you're going to get before you confirm the transaction. It always gives you a way better rate than whatever the rate of the day is. I'm talking 20-30 pesos over, sometimes more.

As for the driver, there's no discussion on the price. It functions like Uber. For example, you put in where you want to go, it gives you an estimate on how many pesos it's going to cost (let's say 1000 pesos), the driver arrives, you get in and when the ride is over, it pops up on the driver's phone that the price for the ride is 1000 pesos and that you paid with your wallet (billetera). The 1000 pesos is then automatically deducted from your wallet.

The only thing that you need to remember is to say "Ya esta pagado por billetera" (it's already paid by wallet). It's going to say it there clear as day on the driver's phone but it helps to mention it once the ride is over so that he can actually read the screen lol. They're used to getting paid in cash so they don't actually read the screen sometimes.

You'll never have a problem with a driver, they actually love payment with wallet because when they get paid with cash, every week, they have to deposit a portion of that cash in an account and then send/transfer LaNave their cut. So for every person that pays with an electronic wallet, that's less physical cash that they have to set aside and deposit into their account at the end of the week in order to send LaNave their cut.

Just realized I didn't answer possibly the most important part of your question. No, you cannot fund a LaNave wallet from Cuba - and that includes with a VPN. I've tried it before when I ran out of money on my wallet once and it wouldn't let me. If I were to guess, I'd say it's because their payment processor is based out of Amrica (which I know for a fact is the case) and they don't want any of that Department of Treasury smoke - which is understandable. Hope this helps.

Very interesting what you mention about just hit the streets and that every girl is available. Does that mean when you stroll san Rafael etc or the typical stroll I see mentioned here, that There's plenty of women out and about. Mostly regular women or more streetwalker type or semipros?

I think you may be overthinking the situation. I did the same thing about over preparing when I went back last year after a 5 year hiatus, and it all really wasn't necessary.

I believe what Nomars means about all girls being in play, is that as you're walking around, if you make eye contact with a girl, that means you can walk over to her, talk to her, get her WhatsApp and you're off to the races.

I don't know what your situation is, but I'm a heavy, bald, slightly older guy. But I speak Spanish as my 2nd language. I was able to get numbers of random girls from the street as well as waitresses, etc. That's what Nomar means. Havana just has that vibe that gives me the confidence to walk up to any girl I want that makes eye contact. Required game is minimal.

So if you're out at a restaurant and can start to chat the waitress up and get her conversing and laughing, go ahead and ask for her WhatsApp. Worst case, she'll say she has a boyfriend, which is the polite way of saying no. Best case, you meet her after work, grab a few drinks and then head back to your place. If you're bar hopping and a girl makes eye contact with you (and you will definitely know what I mean by "eye contact" in Cuba), just go over and start chatting with her. Just that simple.

If you can't find anything that grabs your attention in the wild, that's where I used Badoo as my backup. When I was there last, a massive storm came through, so I couldn't go out hunting that night. That's where I got one of my Badoo girls to come over instead. But you have to remember that internet is spotty out there, so there's no guarantee that you'll even get a hold of the girl that you want, when you want her. So make sure you have 2 or 3 fillies locked and loaded and hopefully you'll get a hold of one of them when you need it. If you're talking to them ahead of your trip, make sure you get their WhatsApp number to make it easier to contact them when you're in the lurch, or just too lazy to go out hunting.

And as for my badoo profile, I just had 2 pics and then put in my bio that I was a Canadian going to Havana for a visit and looking to meet new people. That's it.

Would you guys say it would be better to visit in low season contra high season. Regarding girls and availability.

[Mondo707]

Would you guys say it would be better to visit in low season contra high season. Regarding girls and availability.For me I prefer to travel January or February, that's consider high season.

Reasons, I stay away from hurricanes and heat.

As far as hooking up I'd venture to say there's no difference, some prices for tourists might be higher during the high season; I. E. , car rentals and hotels. Other than that no difference.

EMode is right on. Basically the culture there is that there is NO stigma to women fucking men for money. It sounds crazy to say that, but truly that's the case. I had the manager of my Airbnb refer me to a friend of his (she was not my type after I got to see some better pictures of her), but she's a waitress at a place that he frequents for beers. She straight up told me via WhatsApp, hey, hey told me what you're after, and EVERYTHING is available from me, just ask. She said she likes it all, would do whatever I wanted and at a very reasonable price, like $10 k pesos, which is fine. Not my type, but just goes to show you that even a friend of a friend will throw down.

Another example, I was walking from Prado toward Vedado, 2 girls went by in a bicitaxi, they smiled and whistled at me, then told the bicitaxi guy to stop. He did, I ran up, laughing, and they were like, "hey baby, give us your number. ". Done.

This is how truly easy it is there. They want money, you want sex, and they know this. If you look average at worst, you'll have more than you can handle. Just get out, make eye contact, be friendly, smile, and get numbers. They will start hitting your WhatsApp almost immediately if they're truly ready to go and most of them are. Also, there are a lot of girls walking the Prado, etc. Who do not have phones, so the only way you'll meet them is by getting out and walking the streets.

Enjoy Havana, truly my favorite place!!


Hey BT,

I think you may be overthinking the situation. I did the same thing about over preparing when I went back last year after a 5 year hiatus, and it all really wasn't necessary.

I believe what Nomars means about all girls being in play, is that as you're walking around, if you make eye contact with a girl, that means you can walk over to her, talk to her, get her WhatsApp and you're off to the races.

I don't know what your situation is, but I'm a heavy, bald, slightly older guy. But I speak Spanish as my 2nd language. I was able to get numbers of random girls from the street as well as waitresses, etc. That's what Nomar means. Havana just has that vibe that gives me the confidence to walk up to any girl I want that makes eye contact. Required game is minimal.

So if you're out at a restaurant and can start to chat the waitress up and get her conversing and laughing, go ahead and ask for her WhatsApp. Worst case, she'll say she has a boyfriend, which is the polite way of saying no. Best case, you meet her after work, grab a few drinks and then head back to your place. If you're bar hopping and a girl makes eye contact with you (and you will definitely know what I mean by "eye contact" in Cuba), just go over and start chatting with her. Just that simple..

Que bola aseres? I just got back from a trip last night. I was fortunately enough to meet the King, Santo for a cigar, always a great time (although I avoid him late at night because hangovers can be fatal at this point in my life). I hope to see others from here on future trips.

The first couple of days were the coldest I ever remember being in Cuba due to wind chill - 24-36 MPH, the low was 59 F with chill! For Cubanas, 69 F is cold, so that will definitely thin out how many girls are on the street. It's always something in Cuba, too hot, too windy, too rainy. I will say that later in the week was really nice, warm but not hot. But I will definitely bringing some long pants in January!

My main concern on this trip was mosquitos, because evryone there has a story of either catching Denque (or some other third world plague), or people in their family catching it. Joints swelling up so bad that they can't walk. One of my chica regulars said her hands swelled up so big she couldn't use her phone. So I was hesitant to go out or enjoy my balcony view, my usual chill liaison spot. I mostly hunkered down inside. If this virus wrecks a 21 year old, what happens to a deep into middle age guy who needs to work two days after he returns home? I have become something of an authority on mosquito countermeasures. I'd advise anyone going to Cuba to get up to speed on that. Hopefully it will get better as we get into the winter season. But I don't know if it ever gets cold enough in Cuba to eradicate those evil mosquitos. And of course the Cuban kleptocracy government doesn't do shit about vector control.

I didn't have any power issues, but that's probably because nobody was using air conditioning when I was there, and the grid wasn't being pushed past capacity. But one of my regulars said the power went out in her hovel in Vedado, so it's always a risk. Good idea to bring some battery packs and light sources just in case.

I did a mix of noobs and my regulars this trip. Noobs were nothing to write ISG about. Noobs are always a risk. Not so much monetarily, but losing a night to a mediocre experience (I know some of you stallions hit 3 chicks in a night no problem, but this daddy is well past his repeat performance prime jj). Also noobs are far more likely to flake. But of course variety is the spice of life, so you have to take risks drafting new talent. My all-stars performed as expected (my sweet model was awesome, we just click). But I did leave some unhappy campers in my bullpen.

WRT the streetwalker scene, it's never been my thing. But I need exercise, so I try to do one long walk per day, then the stairs in my building, so I scout. There are always girls on the Prado and San Rafael during the day. I did not go out at night this trip (cold and mosquitos, as mentioned supra), so others here may be able to report on the night street scene. I will say that I find that scene depressing to be honest.

Bottom line, it is very hard to walk down Prado or San Rafael and not be looked at or even hit on by some chicas. Make eye contact and it's on. But I view this as the lazy man's option. As Nomars and Emode have suggested, walking around random other spots and knowing Spanish enough for some small talk probably leads to a better experience than hardened pros, unless that is your thing (no judgement here). I just like a little connection, preferably with some chick who didn't have 4 dicks in her mouth in the past hour.

I've met girls up for fun in working in tiendas, restaurants and hotels (always visit the tiny tiendas, as every store has something different to sell). Many girls working in restaurants and hotel bars speak better English than the average person, which is typically zero. Funny story, this one camarera I hit on, really cute but "had a boyfriend," but all her coworkers were very interested, and one somehow got my number and PM'd me jjj. And the cute one remains a Whatsapp contact at a nearby restaurant I like and a good source of intel. Hotel bars are similar but they tend to be more careful not to get fired for fraternizing, so be discreet. But the main job of a restaurant host or waitress seems to be standing around and talking to her coworkers, so by all means talk to them. Worst case, you make a friend who has amigas who are game. I've even hit on airport security chicks with some success. Whoever is hiring those Jose Marti security girls has an eye for the young hotties jjj.

My next trip will be second week of January. Hope to see you mongers there!

Been going through some severe havana withdrawals lately. Got so bad that I booked a last minute trip to go this month and next month. But then I cancelled them both within 24 hrs. Between the TSA delays due to GOV shutdown and the massive hurricane that recently passed through I have taken it as a sign to just wait till January as planned to resume travelling. I am missing the sex positive culture. The endless buffet of pussy options. Even miss the thrill of beating the locals at their own game of scam the gringo. Best I can do for now is reading reports from guys like Jiniterinataor, Kingsanto, and nomars777 and daydream about how balls deep I'm going to go when I go in January.

I was considering taking a trip to Lima, Peru. Or my bucket list location: South East Asia. But the more I think about it the harder it is to compare them to the "value" play. Which is what I consider Cuba in terms of distance traveled and cost / quality per chica. This place is so addictive that I'm like counting the days till I go back. Nomars777, take a shot for me at HQ next time!

Well, not sure if I'm going to make my first trip to Cuba in December.

Impact to Cuba via Grok:

Cuba was significantly impacted by Hurricane Melissa, a powerful Category 5 storm that made landfall in eastern Cuba on October 28, 2025, as a Category 3 hurricane with sustained winds of around 115 mph (185 km / h). The hurricane brought extreme winds, heavy rainfall, and widespread flooding to provinces including Santiago de Cuba, Granma, Holguin, Guantánamo, and Las Tunas, exacerbating vulnerabilities like the island's fragile electrical grid and ongoing arboviral disease outbreaks.

# Key Impacts:

- **Humanitarian and Evacuation* Approximately 735,000 people (about 1 in 15 Cubans) were evacuated preemptively, with 53,000 still in shelters as of mid-November due to flooding, landslides, and damaged infrastructure. No fatalities were reported in Cuba, thanks to effective preparation, though the storm contributed to a regional death toll of at least 75 (mostly in Jamaica and Haiti).

- **Housing and Infrastructure* Nearly 150,000 homes were affected, including 95,000 in Santiago de Cuba alone, with 2,300 total collapses and 6,000 complete roof failures. Around 60,000 buildings nationwide were destroyed or damaged. Collapsed bridges, blocked roads, and debris isolated dozens of communities.

- **Education and Health* 2,117 schools (30% of those in affected areas) and 642 healthcare facilities sustained damage, disrupting services for over 100,000 students and vulnerable populations. Only 4% of damaged health centers were restored by early November.

- **Agriculture and Economy* Over 158,000 hectares of crops (grains, cassava, plantains, and coffee) were destroyed, threatening food security. Preliminary damage estimates are in the billions, straining Cuba's economy and adding to recovery challenges from prior storms like Hurricane Sandy (2012).

- **Utilities and Services* As of November 14,60% of Santiago de Cuba remained without electricity, with severe water shortages and only 3% landline phone service available. Telecommunications outages affected 241 communities and over 140,000 people.

# Recovery Efforts:

The UN and Cuban authorities launched a response plan, mobilizing aid for shelter, food, and infrastructure repairs. By mid-November, over 1,800 schools had partially resumed operations, but full recovery in hardest-hit areas like Santiago de Cuba could take months. Climate change analyses indicate warmer Atlantic waters intensified Melissa, highlighting increasing risks for the region.

For the latest updates, check sources like the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) or the USA National Hurricane Center.

Impact to Havana:

Havana, Cuba's capital and largest city located in the western part of the island, experienced **relatively minor direct impacts** from Hurricane Melissa compared to the severe devastation in eastern provinces like Santiago de Cuba, Granma, Holguin, and Guantánamo. Melissa made landfall as a Category 3 hurricane on October 29,2025, approximately 500–600 miles (800–965 km) east of Havana, near Chivirico in the Santiago de Cuba province. By the time the storm's outer bands reached the west, it had weakened significantly after crossing Cuba's mountainous terrain, reducing its threat to the capital.

# Key Impacts in Havana:

- **Weather and Flooding* Havana faced **tropical storm-force winds** (up to 50–70 mph or 80–110 km / h) and **heavy rainfall** from the storm's expansive outer bands, leading to localized flooding in low-lying areas and along the Malecón seawall. Reports indicated scattered street flooding, but nothing on the scale of eastern Cuba's catastrophic flash floods and landslides. Up to 5–8 inches (127–203 mm) of rain fell in parts of the city over 24–48 hours, exacerbating urban drainage issues but not causing widespread inundation.

- **Power and Infrastructure* The city's fragile electrical grid, already strained by ongoing blackouts, saw **brief, intermittent outages** affecting up to 20–30% of households for several hours to a day. However, Havana avoided the total blackouts that left 60–80% of eastern regions without power for days or weeks. Minor damage included downed tree branches, some fallen power lines, and debris on roads, but no major structural collapses or bridge failures were reported. The USA Embassy in Havana issued alerts on October 28, noting potential disruptions but confirming the city's airports (like José Martí International) remained operational with only minor delays.

- **Evacuations and Human Toll* Unlike the 735,000 evacuations nationwide (mostly in the east), Havana required **limited evacuations** for about 5,000–10,000 residents in vulnerable coastal or flood-prone zones. No fatalities or injuries were directly attributed to the storm in Havana, aligning with Cuba's overall low death toll (zero reported nationally, thanks to proactive measures). Shelters were set up in schools and community centers, but most residents stayed in place.

- **Economic and Social Effects* The storm compounded Havana's pre-existing challenges, including chronic power shortages (up to 15+ hours daily) and economic strain. Minor disruptions affected tourism—Havana's key industry—with hotel closures and canceled flights, leading to an estimated $50–100 million in short-term losses. Food and fuel distribution faced temporary delays due to rain-soaked roads, but the city avoided the agricultural devastation seen elsewhere (e. G. , 158,000 hectares of crops lost nationwide). Community response was swift, with local brigades clearing debris by October 30.

# Broader Context and Recovery:

Havana's lighter impact allowed it to serve as a **logistical hub for recovery efforts* with crews from the capital dispatched eastward to restore power and clear roads in harder-hit areas. By November 19,2025, the city had largely returned to normal operations, though occasional rain from Melissa's lingering moisture contributed to minor flooding risks. Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel praised the capital's resilience, noting it "held the line" while the east bore the brunt. International aid, including USA Humanitarian assistance announced on October 30, was funneled through Havana for distribution.

Overall, while Havana felt Melissa's fringes—described by residents as a "long, rainy night" rather than a direct hit—the city's distance from the core spared it the billions in damages and infrastructure collapse that plagued eastern Cuba. For comparison, Santiago de Cuba alone saw 95,000 homes affected and widespread isolation of communities. If you're seeking updates on specific neighborhoods or long-term recovery, sources like the UN's OCHA reports provide ongoing details.

Reason why I avoid traveling before November.

I have to say my plans are on again for this 2026 visit are in no way affected by Mellisa or its aftermath.

I stay in the section of Vedado (around Hotel Nacional) where blackouts are minimal and nowadays even some rentals have generators!

I'd avoid the eastern part of the Island, specially Santiago and adjacent provinces for now.

Let's start with this. Previously I changed a whole bunch of USD to pesos right upon arrival. Truthfully, that's unnecessary as most places will accept USD and give you change in pesos or USD, whichever you prefer.

That said, here's a general breakdown of how I would budget for a week in Havana:

1) Taxi fares to and from the airport. You'll need $30 MAX, each way, so budget $60 USD. Running total: $60 USD.

2) Food. Honestly this can be all over the place. For simple, quality meal at La Maravilla or El Cafe, I don't break $10, including tip amount. I budget about $50 per day for food, realizing that some days I will be well under that, but other days I may be over, depending. For a week, I'd go with $350-500 MAX. Running total: - $600 USD (rounding up).

3) Chicas. Honestly this also can be all over the board. I budget for 3-4 chicas per day, realizing that I may be WAY overly optimistic. Also, realize that some will want a lot more, like $100 USD for a 2 hour visit or overnight, where others will go with $30 USD for a couple of hours and maybe $50 USD for overnight. So let's go with 3 x $75 USD for chicas per day, so another $75 x7 = $225 USD *7 = $1,575 for chicas (probably way high, but better to be safe than sorry) - RUNNING TOTAL: $2,175 USD.

Extras. Another $325 because I like round numbers. GRAND TOTAL - $2,500 USD. Will you spend this? Likely not, but I always bring a minimum of $2 k with me even for only a 4-5 day trip, because I want to have extra to be flexible in case I drink more / fuck more chicas / eat more, whatever.

So let's say $300-400 USD a day, including a big reserve for unexpected things (more chicas, more food, more drinks, cigars for those of you who do that, etc.)

For a week that'd be $2,100-$2,500 total. That's what I'd bring, but again, totally subjective.

But realize for an American it is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to get more cash once you're there, so bring extra as a precaution. You can always return home with extra USD in your pocket, but you can't get more once you're there (in all likelihood).

Others' opinions?

The Caribbean hurricane season is June 1 November 30, but the real danger zone is mid-August to mid-October, with September being the single riskiest month.

With regard to hurricanes in December that hit Cuba, they are extremely rare. The last one that hit close to Havana was in 1925.

[KingSanto]

So in true addict fashion I touch down in Havana again for the fourth time this month - wild stuff, I know. This one is a quick in and out. Arrive on a Saturday, leave on a Sunday; therefore, the report will be equally short.

I'm a veteran at this point in regards to traveling to Havana so as usual everything was normal. You guys know the drill. $25 Visa from Novela Cuba. No need to load money onto my LaNave wallet this time - I'm only here a day and the previous weekend for my third trip of the month I had loaded $60 (with $80 already there) onto it so I still had a bunch left. Can't reload my Cuban SIM because I'm still within the 30 days of the last time I reloaded - but it's fine because I still have a good amount of data left.

Touch down early morning so that I can actually savor the one-day trip; my airport taxi guy takes me to the AirBnB for the standard $25. I'm in Cerro again this time. Spacious, cheap AirBnB and the owner and I have a great rapport. We kind of have an unspoken agreement that I'll be taking advantage of their nice and spacious 2 bedroom apartment for the insane $25/night price for only 1-2 nights and in exchange I'll make sure not to leave the place too messy so that the low price of the trip is still worth it to them.

Anyway, enough with the yapping - let's get to the details. I shower up and call over one of my regulars - the same one from my previous report that lives in Casablanca. LaNave to bring her over. She stays until about 7PM and I get three leches out of her before she had to tap out lol. It was a great time - we walked over to the corner store, got like 10 beers for 2.5K pesos and just drank, vibed, listened to music and fucked all day. 15K for that.

In between leches we did go to Bar Maximo in Havana Vieja. It's one of my go-to spots and has excellent food at a great value. The "pescado empenado" (breaded fish fillet) - is quite literally the best fish I've had in any country. Unbelievable. It's actually not officially on the menu but if you ask for it, they'll give it to you. They like to put cheese and ham on it but I order it without that stuff and man it's excellent.

Those 3 sessions really took a lot out of me so I took like a 3 hour nap. I kind of want to call it at this point but fuck it, I'm leaving the next day and I know that I have one more leche in me. I call over another regular and she comes over via La Nave. Bang her out like it was my first leche of the day and that's it for my fourth October trip.

This probably goes without saying, but October 2025 will forever be a special month to me. Core memories acquired lol.

I won't say that I'm smarter than Grok, but I was there right before and right after the hurricane. Hurricane Melissa had zero effect on Havana. While the hurricane was ripping through the east coast, Havana was sunny and comfortable (I wasn't there during the hurricane but I WAS checking the weather).

Been using badoo lately and must say there seem to be so many beauties. Especially them between 18-25.

Most seem eager to talk and to meet up. Very non pro vibe. Some of them even state that they don't sell them self for money.

Would you guys say that most of them actually are up for some? Do you ask them straight forward are you up for pay for sex.

Would you say that the girls from badoo in general look more attractive than the ones roaming the mentioned streets like san Rafael and in the parks?

Regarding money exchange. I know its a newbie question for sure. How do you guys to it? For best value.

Bring euros or usds in cash and then exchange ut using the black rate.

Because 10-15,k Cuban is a lot of money how is it only 30-40 usds.

When I Google it says 10 k pesos equals;300 usds.

Cuba fights to contain spread of mosquito-borne chikungunya virus.

As if hunger, hurricanes, power outages, corruption, censorship, poverty was not enough.

Chikungunya causes severe headache, rashes and joint pain which can linger months after infection, causing long-term disability.

There is no specific treatment for chikungunya, which is spread primarily by Aedes mosquito species, also a carrier of dengue and Zika.

I don't see myself going there anytime soon.

I'm going to be in Cuba at the end of the year, first stop Havana. I'm still reading through the reports from other members. Huge shout out to everyone taking the time to share their experience and offering tips to navigate Cuba. This thread is a wealth of information.

I'm a little weary of picking up professional girls on the street of Havana for fear of STDs. I've been hunting on Badoo, I figure they get less volume, only focusing on the baddies, 18-25 yo, 8-10 in the looks department. I open with a witty compliment, about 10% of them reply, I cut to the chase, tell them I'm there to have fun with no strings attached in exchange for compensation. I have 4 dates lined up. However I couldn't get them to bite on the price quoted here, between $20-$30 usd, they accepted $50, some reluctantly. I wonder if I'm getting ripped off or is this the going rate for young baddies.

I booked a Airbnb in Vedado, 5 minutes from San Rafael, I wanted a central location that's convenient for the chicas. I was also considering renting a place around calle 15 and calle 26, as I hear the vibe is a little calmer which I dig but I fear the location is not convenient for the chicas.

I understand every guests that come over have to be registered, the host want me to send a picture of their ID. Is that going to spook the chicas?

There's the official government rate and the black market rate, you can find the market rate on El Toque.

I'm going to be in Cuba at the end of the year, first stop Havana. I'm still reading through the reports from other members. Huge shout out to everyone taking the time to share their experience and offering tips to navigate Cuba. This thread is a wealth of information.

I'm a little weary of picking up professional girls on the street of Havana for fear of STDs. I've been hunting on Badoo, I figure they get less volume, only focusing on the baddies, 18-25 yo, 8-10 in the looks department. I open with a witty compliment, about 10% of them reply, I cut to the chase, tell them I'm there to have fun with no strings attached in exchange for compensation. I have 4 dates lined up. However I couldn't get them to bite on the price quoted here, between $20-$30 usd, they accepted $50, some reluctantly. I wonder if I'm getting ripped off or is this the going rate for young baddies.Realized it just minutes after sending that. Found el toque as well, my bad for the dumb question! El toque was very useful indeed. Hope to get at least 400 for every dollar.

Also using badoo, seems nice. But a couple them got Moody when I refused to send them recargas. Bad attitude but most of them seem really nice. I declined very politely as I never send girls anything before meeting up. I am also looking for them baddies from 18-25 but also found some from 26-35.

Never discussed money yet and I don't sell it in as I'm going to pay for sex. I'm looking for non pros / semi pros.

Thanks a lot for anyone that has contributed on here. Have read a lot now.

I guess you should stand your ground as 60 USD seems a lot I and Cuba but I guess it depends on the quality of she is a real baddi she knows that she probably could charge more. Personally I hope 25-45 USD will be enough.

[BusinessTravl]

To you experienced guys / legends here on the forum.

How usual is it that them badoo girls will take it in the ass for the date.

Is anal common in Cuba at all?

It also seems like sex without a condom is the norm here. ? Or do many insist on a raincoat during intercourse.

[Vendelo]

Personally, I've never come across a girl with a bush or an excessive amount of hair.May God bless las Cubanas!

If the police wishes to uphold the law, three strikes and jail for them, or a large fine they can't afford. Some owners keep the girl details if something hapoens happens but don't officially register. Depends on them.

Greetings Experienced Cuba Enthusiasts.

I cannot tolerate hair. Do most girls shave their pussy?They shave religiously! This from a chick in Old Habana.

Is that going to spook the chicas?As previously mentioned in this thread, you should read the house rules of the AirBNB you are considering before you rent it. Some state "no unregistered overnight guests," others will be more strict (eg "no unregistered guests allowed. " That's a hard pass for me.). Generally speaking, don't ask, don't tell is your best policy wrt having girls come over to your AirBNB. Better to ask forgiveness than permission, should you get detected sneaking one in or out. Also, finding an AirBNB where the owners don't live in the same building is a good practice. Usually you can sniff this out in the reviews, e. G. , "owner drove over in 20 minutes when my toilet was clogged".

Personally I hope 25-45 USD will be enough.Absolutely, positively, never send a cuban girl anything until you have met her (and even afterward, it is questionable. You can't feed a stray cat just once). If a Cubana gets butthurt that a total stranger on Badoo did not send them money or recharge, she's a scammer who will likely never meet up with you anyway no matter what you do. The chicks actually interested in seeing you will be disappointed, not mad. If you are planning on returning to Cuba and have a special lady or two you want to gift her a recharge to keep you in her mind, that's a discretionary thing. Some girls I know and trust and I know if I tell them, "we'll take this $25 off my tab when I see you next. " Keep in mind you can buy yourself a data plan (if you have a one year SIM card) and give the extra CUP balance to your favorite chicas before you leave. It's all a rounding error to me anyway. I am blessed, so I tip well. YMMV.

Here's a little tip: I NEVER discuss any sort of payment on Badoo chat, unless they bring it up first. Get the Fing Whatsapp number and GTFO of Badoo. None of them have enough data so you have to get their number ASAP or they go "poof!" "Last seen in 7+ days". That's an L. Who knows if Badoo chatis even secure? If you are some middle aged dude who does not look like Brad Pitt and you ask a young Cubana if she wants to meet when you are in town, and she accepts, it is all understood why you are meeting and that a gift will be involved. There isn't a girl over 18 in Havana who doesn't at least know someone who plays-for-pay. They know why you are contacting them. Any girl who even responds to you (assuming you don't look like some young Chad cuban dude) is likely not meeting you to slowly date and live happily ever after (With some rare exceptions. I recently met a super hot, somewhat religious little spinner but she was dead serious about finding an American to marry). If they give you their phone number, you're gold, and it's all about haggling after that. Truth is, more often than not, I have girls come over the first time not having discussed the gift beforehand. But some want to discuss it on Whatsapp first. I will say, the first time a girl comes over, she's a lot less likely to flake on you if she knows what you're going to give her and it's not a lowball.

[BusinessTravl]

I'm not that old, and absolutely average looking at least hehe.

Got so many numbers already, I don't use baddo after that, but some of them have already asked me for help " already. Most of them accepted it a couple them turned grumpy that ridiculous! I blocked the m very fast after that. And No I never send any money before meeting them and ofc I want anything in return! I was just wondering if guys really do this: o since many of them starts asking me for favores.

But have also spoke with so many kind and interest ones. Would you say most of them are up for pay for fun. That's nice. Hope 25-40 would be enough? What do you think about prices. Have not discussed with them regarding $$ and they all have me their numbers and social quick as hell.

I was concern that the chicas would be spooked having to send their photo ID to the host but I haven't been met with any concerns.

"Last seen in 7+ days"..I've learned a lot reading through the reports in this thread, some of the insights are invaluable. I'm hoping to be able to make a meaningful contribution during my trip to keep the momentum in this thread going.

I still have a few weeks until the trip, more time to refine my negotiation skills on Badoo. Using the tips provided in this thread, moving to whatsapps, name your price, don't ask the chica to name hers is key. Every girls have opened with $100 without fail, assuming that you're a new gringo, we'd meet at halfway $50. Since I changed up the strategy by making the offer first, most have been receptive to $40, I haven't gotten any takers at $30.

Inititally the plan was to line up all my dates on Badoo but you guys are right, walking the street is part of the experience and probably cheaper than what I'm being quoted on Badoo.

[Vendelo]

They shave religiously! This from a chick in Old Habana.That looks beautiful! This is music to my ears as I do not like Bush! Thanks.

[KaizenCoitus]

As I've already mentioned in my previous posts, I've been active on Badoo, getting a feel of the local chicas, lining up "dates" leading up to the trip.

Here's a tip that I picked up, if you change your location to Cuba and connect with a vpn (I personally use ProtonVPN) via the Cuba server and disable GPS access, it bypass the paywall limitations.

For the most parts, the girls I've been able to commits are in the 8-9's in looks and body, ranging from 18-25. Tonight I matched with a 10, absolute dime piece, voluptuous, curves in all the right places, all natural, nice complexion but looks high maintenance. I hit her with the usual, open with a compliment, follow by a subtle offer of pay for play companionship. She sends me her whatsapp.

On whatsapp, she asked for my flight confirmation to prove I'm serious. I answered, absolutely not, I have concerns of my own, I don't want to get flagged by immigration.

She doesn't budge.

I thought it over, either this chick is paranoid and trying to filter out the time waster or she's playing game and trying to get me invested for an upsell, like I said, she looks high maintenance.

I eventually relented and send her the screenshot with all the identification info erased, flight no. Time of arrive. Etc.

Continue to grill me about my itineraries like a fucken detective, why doesn't my arrival and departure date doesn't match with my stay in Havana. Fucken chick is already a pain in the ass but I decided to humour her, no major red flags yet.

Now she wants to video chat to confirm my identify. When she called, I answered but her camera is covered. Claim she's in bed and will video call me tomorrow.

It's my turn to put her under the spotlight, asked her to send me candid photos, no filters. She sent me a series of candid pictures, girl is a smoke show.

Alright, let's start the negotiation, I offered her 50 for a few hours of her time. She laughs and said maybe I'll have luck with other girls but she's not for me.

I asked, if she's going to counter? Nope, wished me luck.

I sensed this girl was testing my resolve, I responded with a dignified goodbye, threw the back in her court, tell her to hit me up if she changes her mind.

Sure enough, not even 10 minutes later, she messaged back.

Admit to this being her first time with this kind of arrangement, she was testing the waters. Claim she's independent and self sufficient and not looking for money. Yeah right.

She wants to meet on a date first and if we click, we can go back to the Airbnb. Still insist she doesn't want financial compensation, but if I want, get her a gift. We signed off.

What a trip. Here's my logical evaluation, if I had to wager, I'd bet she's playing the long game, looking for a sugar daddy, get me emotionally attached and then hit me up for monthly stipends.

If she asks for money anytime before the meetup, I'm ghosting her.

However I'm not a complete pessimist, maybe her dream is to marry a passport bro and immigrate to another country. If that's her angle and if I was a dick, theoretically I could just take what she gives without committing or leading her on, a free ride. But honestly, I'd rather insist on it staying transactional to avoid having to do the whole breakup ordeal after the trip.

[BusinessTravl]

I agree with all of this.

Many will ask for help and support even before meeting up.

A few are very rude. Regarding prices I offered 30 USD for one. Not a 10 but more of a 7-7.5.

She got offended by this and contered with if I think she only was worth that little.

She wanted at least a 100 USD for a date with me. That's crazy do you guys really pay them that much! You are ruining the market I must say. A 100 USD must be a month salary and so in Cuba.

Do you guys have any inputs on this? What do you usually pay them for ,2-4 hours and toda la noche. I could pay 60-80 for an all nighter.

Have not discussed with them regarding $$ and they all have me their numbers and social quick as hell.If there is one topic that is most likely to start fights in this thread, it's the topic of price, so I try to avoid it. I happen to be blessed financially, so price is irrelevant to me (at least in Cuba, as I've dabbled in this hobby in America and it is a magnitude more expensive). Now, you start talking like that in this thread, and people start calling you a simp (which is silly because simps don't actually get what they want, they dote over chicks unrequited. I am always requited LOL). So I am hesitant to talk about price. I do believe you get what you pay for, and the hotter chicks with any sense know that they are worth more. I just always feel like a lowlife lowballing these poor wretches when I fly into Havana business class and stay in $100+/ day AirBNBs. IMO, when both parties leave a transaction with a smile on their faces, it's a better experience for both. I want a girl excited to see me, not just doing it grudgingly.


For the most parts, the girls I've been able to commits are in the 8-9's in looks and body, ranging from 18-25. Tonight I matched with a 10.IMO opinion, there is no such thing as a 10 (I can find a flaw on any girl). But let's assume for the sake of argument you have found what you consider a genuine 10 by your standards. You're not willing to spend $100 for that experience? LOL! In the USA, an elite pro experience can cost you $3-4 K. It all comes down to value. Would you be bummed if you passed on her because you had to pay an extra $50? I know I would if she were elite by my standards / predilections. But I understand some people have these things called "budgets" LOL. I understand times are tough for a lot of people. But let's be clear: Am I supposed to empathize with the less affluent in this hobby, but NOT empathize with the unfortunate souls trapped in Cuba?

I've never had a girl ask to video first, that's weird. She must've been hot for you to jump through all of those hoops, and I won't judge that if she really is a star, because I would probably do it if she were elite (I am very particular about my type, essentially, short, petite spinners on the lighter side). But this is very uncommon request IME.

Look, I think this should be a judgement free hobby, since different people like different things. But I think you get what you pay for, and I know my favorites would laugh at $50. It all comes down to value. Is she worth it or not? I can understand money being an issue, but the bang for the buck in Cuba is high. Maybe ask yourself, "what would I pay for this experience in the first world?" IMHO. YMMV.

Maybe ask yourself, "what would I pay for this experience in the first world?" IMHO. YMMV.There's always going to be judgment on here, and rightly so. I mean, how can we compare what we pay in the US, Canada, Europe, to Cuba, Colombia, etc? Isn't that the reason we are going to those places, because it's cheaper? There are plenty of attractive sex workers in Europe, US, Canada. As for you get what you pay for in sex work, I disagree. I mean, if all you do is pay for looks on an App, assuming she looks like the photos, would you pay top dollar for looks alone when sex service is the goal? I have been with stunners to my type, who look away when kissing, rush me to finish, show no interest. With this in mind, why not offer $50 for a stunner, and state there is a good bonus if she performs well in bed. If she doesn't, kick her out with $50 in hand.
