In this video, we’re addressing a question we often get: should you bring items for the Cuban people when you visit? The answer is a resounding yes! The people of Cuba are warm-hearted and always smiling despite the daily hardships they face: Severe shortages of basic necessities like food, medicine, and hygiene products are a reality for many locals. Join us as we explain the situation in Cuba and take you shopping with us to fill up our next suitcase headed to Varadero. We'll show you the essential items to pack for your trip and how you can make a positive impact on the local community. Our family has strong ties to Cuba, and we’re passionate about giving back. 👉 *Check out the Essential CUBA GIFT items list here:* https://www.amazon.com/shop/globetrottinggang/list/2MD1MXJDVITYL?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_aipsfglobetrottinggang_W6MWW0JS8BGWKDA8ED5K Don’t forget to subscribe to our channel for more travel tips and guides.
