YouTube Video Description↓

Vinales is a beautiful region of Cuba full of mountains, tobacco farms, and coffee plantations. Instead of booking a tour guide, we thought the best way to experience it would be by bike through the valley. We wanted to get lost on our own and go on a full day adventure exploring this beautiful place!

We started β€œtravel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this YouTube channel to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling! So we extended our 1 year trip to now FOUR years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before 2020! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
