Traveling off the beaten paths is an engaging way of going to places that are undiscovered, with a sense of exploration. It is finding stories of 'hidden gems', exploring them, and engaging with local Puerto Ricans and Cubans. This way you will discover the unconventional routes and stories that offer a more authentic or secluded experience.
We value cultural travel based on the idea that we can learn about ourselves and others when we embark on journeys to different cultural contexts. Our journeys to Cuba and Puerto Rico are framed by our understanding, respect and appreciation of the historical contributions made by their people in the fields of arts, community education and general wellness.

It will offer you the skills both to recognize what was positive about your childhood, and to re-parent yourself in the ways that you wished you had been parented.
