Cuba

CUBA✨

In Spring of 2011, I had the opportunity to visit Cayo Coco, Cuba.

Hotel: Melia Cayo Guillermo 4.5 star all inclusive for 7 days. 

In Spring of 2016, I stayed in Varadero, Cuba. 

Hotel: Palma Real Hotel 3 star but was upgraded to the Starfish Varadero 3 star all-inclusive for 5 days.

Highlights: What I enjoyed most about Cuba are the beautiful white sand beaches and of course the weather. Havana is also VERY COOL and if I ever go back to Cuba, I would definitely stay in Havana. There is a lot of great history. The night life was not bad in Varadero as there was a local bar area which was packed every night. 

Recommendations:  Take a day trip to Havana!  Go on an excursion!

Food:  3/10  for the food on the resorts as it is very bland and not many options. Bring your own condiments such as ketchup and hot sauce. I did get a chance to have a seafood dinner in Havana which I would rate a 8/10 for freshness and flavor. 

Pros: Beautiful white sand beaches.
Havana was my favorite as I was able to see cool old fashion cars, learn about Cuba's history and try their cigars.
Starfish Varadero accommodations were beautiful as they were newly renovated villas across from the actual resort.


Cons: The food is not great.
The wifi is not good.

Money Saving Tips

The  #1  thing people always ask me is how can you afford so many trips ?! 😨 Well definitely you need a source of income to be able to travel but what I always find helpful is using the following tips to save cost before and during my vacations: 1. Booking flights Some people may beg to differ but I find the best time to find the cheapest flights are on Tuesday or Wednesday evenings. It is also known that the cheapest days to travel are during the weekdays. I personally use specific websites for booking flights as although they are third party websites, they determine the cheapest flights with most airlines. The top websites I use for flights are: skyscanner.ca or expedia.ca All inclusive vacations: tripcentral.ca or selloffvacations.com (there are walk-in locations across Canada as well). Also, for all of you that live in Toronto or nearby, I follow YYZdeals.ca - sign up for their email alert on cheap flights all around the world. There are always cheap fli

Solo Traveling Tips

Hey Friends! I felt it was so important to make a blog post about solo traveling as so many people have asked me how do I do it! I personally enjoy solo traveling as it gives me the opportunity to explore and move at my own pace. As nice as it is to have company on vacation, I love knowing that I can do what I want, when I want! I just got back from a solo trip to Atlanta and San Francisco and many family/friends/followers have asked me for solo traveling tips which I will share with you all below.  First thing's first, it is soooo important to do your research prior to traveling solo.  If I am traveling somewhere solo for the first time, I do the following: 1.       Research the safest places to travel solo. 2.       Once I choose my destination, I do a thorough online search of areas that may NOT be safe to be during my vacation.  3.       I search for different accommodation options; some people like hostels that way they can meet new

Welcome to Travel Niche Kish 💗

Hey Friends! Welcome to My Blog Travel Niche Kish ! I decided to start a blog to document my travel journey that began 8 years ago to share my memories and ideas with the world. Yes, I have traveled to places prior to 8 years ago, but traveling really became my passion after traveling for a girls trip to Cuba in 2011.  To date, I have had the opportunity to travel to 12 countries and 16 US States solo, with friends and/or with family. Every time my friends or family are planning a trip, they always ask me where they should go, what hotel/resort they should choose and what things can they do/see while on vacation. I must say, I am not an expert on all of the places I have traveled to but I definitely have learned  A LOT  in every place. I have always been encouraged by my friends and family to share my experiences, photos and ideas - therefore I have decided to create a blog doing just that :) In my blog, I will be sharing my past travel locations, hotels/resorts, attraction
