Like most in North America, you only get 2 weeks vacation, you’re tight on cash, and all you want to do is relax somewhere hot, sipping on some fruity alcoholic beverages. But take a day or two away from Varadero’s beauty to witness Havana’s magic. Read 4 reasons why, with pictures!
Calling all North Americans! Make the best use of your limited 2 weeks of vacation and book an all-inclusive vacation to Cuba. Do you know, that with a little patience, you can get an all-expenses paid, week in paradise for only $600? I’m talking 4-star resorts, airfare included, and all you can eat and drink, all day, everyday! Coming from America? Just fly through Canada (I met a few Americans while there who snuck into the country that way). Plus, there is so much more to do than just lay on a beach (as if laying on the beach wasn’t enough!).
With 2010 now behind us, we have five years left to meet the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals to end extreme poverty. In 2000, when the goals were set, 50% of the world’s population lived on only $1/day. A decade later, these people are surviving on $1.25.

By a quick count off of the top of my head, I think I have been to New York ten times so far. And this count is for the city alone, not counting the cross-the-border family trips to Plattsburgh for some back-to-school shopping when I was in my elementary days.
I am pretty confident in saying that no matter how many times you visit, the city will never fail to offer something new.
Based on my own experiences, here is list of ways to cover the most ground in this fabulous city…
Ten years ago I set a goal to visit 30 countries by my 30th birthday. With no plan or country list to fulfill this goal, I decided to let life take me where it wished.
“See Simi Travel Blog | Adventures of a travel snob“, is just that. The account of an ex-20-something year exploring the world, usually solo, and on a very limited budget.
Every other week I try to tell you a story about the friends, food, fun and fails I’ve had along the way.
