Getting interrogated in Cuba, & other adventures in the island

by

I arrived at Cuba, my mother’s land, with excitement and curiosity. And then, a customs official took my passport and interrogated me.

Watching the sun set on a windy evening at the Wadi Rum desert in Jordan.

Just sipping tea at some castle ruins where Game of Thrones was filmed, NBD. Just kidding. That’s not tea.

The Devil’s Pulpit. Legend has it that the devil used to address his followers here, and that witches used to come here for executions. Obviously, more the reason to go, right? This enchanting gorge with 100 feet of moss-covered rock and a rust-colored river was such an adventure to get to. First, we had to walk a bit along a busy street with no sidewalk to get to the entrance, which is literally a bent fence that you have to climb over. Then you have to squish (and slip a couple times) through the mud for quite a way. Although we wanted so badly to peek from the top down to here, we were scared, because, you know, falling to your death and stuff. Once you get to the gorge entrance, the steps down - referred to as the “devil’s steps” of course - are narrow and slippery, and you pray you don’t fall. But finalllllyyyy, when you make it to this exact spot pictured, you get why people risk so many falls to get here. It’s magical. Also, it’s a film location for “Outlander,” so that’s cool, too. #stayandwander #exploreeverything #girlslovetravel #exploreourearth #wowplanet #girlswhotravel #wildernessculture #thegreatoutdoors #wanderfolk #letsgosomewhere #ladiesgoneglobal #exploringtheglobe #girlswhohike #thetravelwomen #worldnomads #lonelyplanet #travelgirlsgo #worldtraveler #outbound #girlsborntotravel #girlsabroad #wearetravelgirls #femmetravel #sheisnotlost #scotland #glasgow #edinburgh
I’ve seen a lot of breathtaking views in this world, and the Scottish highlands is top 5. Absolutely surreal. It was rainy, windy, cold.. and all of that only enhanced this crazy natural beauty.

Fun fact: When the war against Sparta was won, a soldier ran 26.2 miles from the town of Marathon in Greece to Athens. When he arrived, he shouted, “Nike!” which means “Victory.” So that’s why the marathon is the distance it is, why it’s called that, and the meaning of Nike. . . . #shutterbug #wanderlust #exploringtheglobe #travelbug #livelovetravel #outbounderlife #worldnomads #travelmore #travelphotography #travelblogger #traveling #outbounderlife #outbound ##natgeotravel #natgeoyourshot #intothewild #travellife #wearetravelgirls #girlswhoexplore #thetravelwomen #womewhoexplore#wearetravelgirls #contiki #athensgreece #acropolis #greece #contikimartina #contikieurope #contikimedescape #contikigreece #athens

What an unexpected treat to have been inside the famous Blue Grotto in Capri. 👉🏼Swipe to see a video of what it’s like inside. Swimming is forbidden inside the sea cave so we entered by rowboat through a tiny entrance that is only accesible when the tide is low enough. It’s that hole that allows light into the cave, making the water appear electric blue. If you listen closely in the first video, you can hear the Italians serenading anyone who will listen. You can also see how tiny the entrance is in the second video, when we had to duck in our rowboat to get through. . . . . . #shutterbug #wanderlust #exploringtheglobe #travelbug #livelovetravel #outbounderlife #worldnomads #travelmore #travelphotography #travelblogger #traveling #outbounderlife #outbound ##natgeotravel #natgeoyourshot #intothewild #travellife #wearetravelgirls #girlswhoexplore #thetravelwomen #womewhoexplore#wearetravelgirls #contiki #contikimartina #contikieurope #contikimedescape #italy #italia #capri #bluegrotto #grottoazzurra
The best day. This was it. It’s hard to narrow it down, but of all the days on this European tour, this day wins. We were laughing and singing and swimming. On a boat. In Capri. Next to the Faraglioni. So yeah. This day. It wins. . . . . . #zaiadventures #thelifeofzai #shutterbug #wanderlust #exploringtheglobe #travelbug #livelovetravel #outbounderlife #worldnomads #travelmore #travelphotography #travelblogger #traveling #outbounderlife #outbound ##natgeotravel #natgeoyourshot #zaiadventures #intothewild #travellife #wearetravelgirls #girlswhoexplore #thetravelwomen #womewhoexplore#wearetravelgirls #contiki #italy #bluegrotto #capri #contikimartina #contikieurope #contikimedescape

Greece wins for best food during this tour of Europe. (Give me all the gyros, souvlaki and tzatziki.) Its views don’t fall far behind, either. .

We English speakers are so spoiled. Everywhere we go, people speak our language. I’ve been spoken to in English and Spanish by the locals and as much as I appreciate it because it makes things easy, I wish I were forced to speak some butchered Italian here . . .

Standing in the world's largest ampitheatre, built in AD 72 by Jewish slaves, is absolutely surreal. This is the place where gladiators battled, hundreds of thousands of people were executed, and an estimated million animals were slaughtered for entertainment. Roman society considered compassion a moral defect. One of the primary purposes of the gladiatorial games was to rid Roman citizens of this "weakness." Vicious, right? Being here will get you sentimental for sure . . . . #zaiadventures #thelifeofzai #shutterbug #wanderlust #exploringtheglobe #travelbug #livelovetravel #outbounderlife #worldnomads #travelmore #travelphotography #travelblogger #traveling #outbounderlife #outbound ##natgeotravel #natgeoyourshot #zaiadventures #intothewild #travellife #wearetravelgirls #girlswhoexplore #thetravelwomen #womewhoexplore#wearetravelgirls #contiki #contikimartina
