Got me out of my comfort zone with photography and interacting with local people. Adria has a gift with the camera as well as local people, if you want to take better pictures with your iPhone you should goto Cuba with her, it was AWESOME! Fall 2018

Up your Photography game

Learn to take full control of your camera. We’ll cover focus, depth of field, exposure, file size and type. You’ll understand RAW, digital vs. optical zooms, explore aspect ratios, and master Portrait Mode, Time Lapse, Slow Mo, and Live.

Surprised your iPhone can do all this? You’re not alone. It’s a real camera—and once you know the tools, you’ll never see it the same way again.

Then we take it to the streets. You’ll practice street photography, portraits, lighting, and composition.  This is slow travel at its best: patience, presence, and connection. It’s how you’ll not only create unforgettable photographs, but also experience Cuban culture more deeply. And if you’d rather use a different camera, no problem—bring what you love.

Slow Travel

Slow Travel

Noelle and Mark had an interest in photography but they were unsure about it being the sole focus of their trip. I’m not going say that this type of trip will work for everyone but I can say it worked for Mark and Noelle. They learned that by having photography as a focus it requires you to slow down and absorb your surroundings a bit more. You learn so much by standing on a corner waiting for THE SHOT with THE LIGHT. You learn about how people interact within a city, a community and an environment. For most this is the undefined trait missing from travel. You become a witness, and as Noelle has shared, “it can be a transformative experience”. I can say from experience the transformation usually surprises people. Looking for transformation? Is Havana on your mind? Let me know if it is, I’ll host your week in Havana.

I offer private and family trips, if that’s something that interests you let me know.

 

All the details

Sit back, relax, and let me be your guide. You’ll handle your flight to Havana, but once you arrive, most expenses are covered. We’ll stay six nights in a beautifully remodeled Colonial Casa, with private bedrooms and bathrooms—each with A/C, hot water, and a small fridge. Dinner is included each night, along with coffee and light breakfasts when we’re not heading out early.

During the day, food, mojitos, cigars, and souvenirs are on you. A day trip to Viñales and all transportation in Havana are included. Every journey is a little different—I’m always discovering new people and experiences to share. Once the group is set, I connect with each traveler to weave in unique interests and make the trip truly personal.
