Cuba forced me to acknowledge that a digital detox is actually a thing. I connected to the internet only once during my ten days there, having stood in line for an hour to do so. While the world ticked by, I was unable to read about politics or world news -- I couldn't even check tomorrow's weather. Friends and I played hearts and spades, made outlandish claims that couldn't be proven wrong, and connected to the world around us.
Not many places I've traveled have truly changed me, but Cuba did. It pulled me into its contradiction, its crazy time warp that distorts reality, and made me ask myself, "What else isn't as it seems?"

Thanks for following along on my journey to full self-expression ✌️
