    DestinationTrinidad,Cuba Fear is what will hold you back from experiencing some of the most wonderful adventures in life Cuba was that for me ,the culture,people,food and places Flying into cuba you will need a visa which I got mine at the airport on the day of, There is 2 different kind of currency used the chavito and pesos however I had the pesos which is more frequently used. If you exchange your funds at the airport you will get 87 for your 100 due to fees , however if you change it with the locals you will get 97 for your 100. I visited the magua museum from the colonial times where they use slaves to manufacture sugar and rum the cost for this tour with a tour guide cost 1 pesos Then I headed over to manaca iznaga where I got to climb the bell tower to the top and saw the stunning view which cost 2 pesos  I went ziplining twice , my first stop for ziplining was at el cubano which had a view looking back in the city and partially over the water for 10 pesos,here at el cubano you also get to experience the waterfall by the self propelled boat that cost 5 pesos Second place was mirador del valle de Los ingenious this is a must, the view is stunning. You will be ziplining with the view of nothing but the view of the mountains. The cost here was $7 On each of these attractions there is always somewhere to eat and grab a refreshment onsite I rented an Airbnb which didnt have wifi so I had to buy a wifi card for 5 pesos which gives you 5hours of wifi and trust you are more than likely will not be needing more than that becuaase you will have to visit the parks to connect to the wifi. Beach day I went to Hotel Anchon which sits on the beach and there I was able to enjoy a pina colada and pizza on the beach  I had the experience of visiting 2 clubs first was las cuevas which is under ground in a cave mostly filled with tourists  *Brings hats they are a life saver in cuba you do alot of walking  *Bring your sunscreen *Travel reason for cuba when choosing is support for the cuban people *Most important have fun P.s with cuba being a communist country the access for online is minimum so I found these spots while I was there that's listed above

    Toronto is like New York is a busy city especially in the summer time , I flew in toronto for a special occasion which is called caribana which has been going on since 1967 I took part in the Caribbean festival and walked in the parade and it was amazing there was people from everywhere an experience not to be missed. I flew in on swoop airline because the tickets were cheaper for a two way ticket it cost 216 which took us to the outskirts airport where you can take a metro bus which would cost 21 or you can rent a car which is what I did. Once I got in i went to my first night out called jab jab which is a part of the long weekend festivities then the following day August 2nd is the caribana parade which I took part in. Then the following day I tour the cn tower that was build in 1976 the tallest building in Canada and amongst the others in the world it cost 38 to tour but 15 additional to go to the sky deck I do recommend the tour its absolutely beautiful and to get a city view stop visit the cabana bar and pool which is very nice with a spectacular view across the water . Toronto also holds once of the best china town and I'll be back to do more touring

    Barbados is a really relax place if you want to be in a really relax unbothered place this is the country to go to the folks are really laid back there, on our visit we stayed at the Hilton hotel which is very nice and the view is everything and more, drinks was reasonably and the meals a bit pricey However on certain nights , there would be music and all the chefs set up tables by the bar close to the beach with different types of food and you pay one price, we ventured a out where the locals are and bought meals which is more reasonable and tasty .on friday nights there is a big fish fry in the town with countless amount of vendors on the street with different type of fish and food along with a stage and music and different bars. We were able to experience a boat ride at sea with captain marana recommended by the hotel which include buffet style lunch on the beach which was delicious. We also did dirt bike with @offroadfurrybarbados and they have one of the nicest trail and allow you to stop and take photos along with providing refreshments along the way really nice folks. Wherever you go you have to make the best of it and have fun and we did just that
