Cuba is often romanticized for its old-world charm, classic cars, and laid-back lifestyle. But what is it actually like to live there? After experiencing it firsthand, I can tell you—it’s not the paradise many think it is.

How It All Began
I didn’t just visit Cuba; I lived there. Here’s how I ended up in a place most people only see in travel vlogs.

The Early Experience: Costs & Charm
✅ Affordable living—on the surface
✅ Timeless beauty & unique culture
✅ A slower pace of life—both a blessing and a curse

The Harsh Realities
❌ Visa Issues & Government Control – Staying long-term as a foreigner comes with endless bureaucratic headaches.
❌ Lack of Internet & Connection to the Outside World – Forget reliable Wi-Fi; even phone service is a struggle.
❌ Shortages & Daily Struggles – Basics like food, medicine, and even toilet paper aren’t always available.

Relationships & American Sentiment
🤔 How do Cubans really feel about Americans?
❤️ Romance & friendships in a controlled society
⚠️ Trust issues—who’s watching and reporting?

Home Ownership & Property Rights
🚫 Foreigners can’t truly own property
💰 Why even Cubans struggle to own homes
⚖️ Government control over everything

Cuba Today: It’s Only Gotten Worse
💸 Costs Are Rising – The peso is unstable, and everything is overpriced.
🛑 Safety Concerns – Desperation leads to crime, and many Cubans have left.
🚶‍♂️ The People Are Gone – Mass migration has changed the social fabric.
💊 Drugs Are Becoming a Problem – Something that was once rare is now on the rise.
🔌 Blackouts & Infrastructure Failures – Power cuts are common, and life stops when the lights go out.

Final Thoughts: Is Living in Cuba Even Possible?
Cuba is an amazing place to visit—but living there? That’s a different story. While the country has undeniable charm, the daily struggles and government control make long-term life a challenge.
