I’m back from my first trip to Cuba! But why did I fly out there? And why did I stay about 3 full weeks? This audiolog will answer these questions by first explaining why I chose couple dancing as my main hobby, before presenting the reasons that lead me to prefer Cuban salsa over all the other options on the dance market.  

While in Cuba, I recorded daily audiologs, more to keep an account of my experience there than to report about it on the Internet. Those recordings are somewhat randomly, somewhat thematically structured. I plan on preparing and releasing a few episodes in the weeks to come - one about vegan food in Cuba, another about my dancing experience over there, and maybe more. The former topic, food, will definitely make it on the podcast, but dancing, or any other topic that is not sufficiently related to what I want to talk about in length on ciplantgo, will only appear on ciplantgo’s Youtube channel. So should you want to know more about how I traveled and trained in Cuba, head / keep an eye on that Youtube channel, as there will be no Instagram or podcast posts about this.

Last but not least, photography. What used to be an important hobby of mine is still a form of artistic expression I enjoy. A few of the shots I took in Cuba made it through my selection process. I am sharing some of them on Instagram, all of them in the Youtube video; the best way to view them is on my Flickr though, to which you’ll find a link at the end of the show notes.
