COOL THINGS IN JAPAN YOU MUST SEE

A packing list for Cuba is unlike any packing list you’ve ever assembled. Packing for Cuba, if you’ve never been there, is challenging, even more so if you haven’t researched the topic.

I’ve put together a Cuba packing list that will both surprise you as well as be tremendously helpful once you arrive.

Cuba is hot…duh! You will need to protect yourself from the sun whenever you are outside.

A wide-brim hat is a must. So are sunglasses to shield your eyes from those UV rays.

Footwear is important for comfortably exploring Cuba. As in any 500+ year old city, Havana has some uneven streets.

Cuban cities are imminently walkable. And when you walk a lot, you can get blisters. Bring band aids or moleskins padding from Dr. Scholl’s. You can cut them to adjust to your needs.

Feminine hygiene products like tampons and pads are not available in Cuba. Bring your own and leave whatever you don’t use.

Keeping your hands clean is always a good idea under any circumstances. Enter hand sanitizer. I like the little Purell bottles that can hook on to things like bags or backpacks.
