Dady Marcos grew up in what she calls a \u201cpretty standard family\u201d in Cuba. Her grandparents were farmers. Her parents got divorced when she was four years old. \u201cIt was a struggle,\u201d she recounts to me during the long, lush drive from Santa Clara to Havana.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dady, however, is not a woman to be pitied. She studied a course that would enable her to become a translator, but quickly realized the travel industry was a better fit for her skillset (more lucrative, too) and discovered a job she loves. We sit by side on the bus, on day eight of the Hola Cuba tour<\/a><\/strong> she\u2019s leading, and reflect on her close-to-10-years as a guide with Intrepid.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re on a trip that consists solely of American travelers (Intrepid Travel is one of the only licenced operators for trips such as these). She struggles to remember how many tours of this type she\u2019s led since joining the company. \u201cWow, I don\u2019t know exactly. We\u2019ve only been running them since last year. 40 or 50, maybe?\u201d<\/p>\n

Judging by just how many perceptions are challenged on my group alone, this is no small feat.<\/p>\n

\"Cuba<\/a>

Intrepid travelers with a local leader, en-route to a waterfall near Trinidad<\/p><\/div>\n

You\u2019d think that delving too deeply into US-Cuban relations on my trip would be awkward. To say the two countries have had a tumultuous relationship is quite the understatement. Yet, time and time again the transformative power of travel becomes apparent. For both leader and travelers, Cubans and Americans.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt first I was so scared about Americans coming; I didn\u2019t know what to expect,\u201d Dady remembers. \u201cThe itinerary was so busy I thought it would be a challenge. But I\u2019m very grateful \u2013 we haven\u2019t had a bad or difficult group at all, just interested, interesting people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best thing is,\u201d she says, \u201cI think we\u2019re making a difference. As a company. For Cuba.\u201d<\/p>\n

And the travellers themselves? They hail from all over America \u2013 Seattle to Houston, New York to Los Angeles \u2013 and represent every age \u2013 from 20-something to 70-something. Together we visit organic farms and pottery centers, we hike to waterfalls and drink more rum than is strictly necessary. We watch cookery demonstrations by local chefs and try our hand (with varying levels of success) at salsa dancing. Not only are we encouraged to chat with locals, but we stay in Casa Particulares run by them.<\/p>\n

\"Tobacco<\/a>

And by the end of the nine-day trip it seems that any initial misgivings or fears the group felt about visiting had dissipated. Jill from Oakland speaks for all when she says on our last breakfast, \u201cGiven the history of our countries, I didn\u2019t anticipate such genuine warmth and openness\u201d. Her father Kent echoes Dady in admitting to me that, \u201cI didn\u2019t know what to expect. It was my first time coming to a developing country. But the Intrepid trip took us into the heart of it.\u201d He adds that, \u201cI think Americans should be encouraged to come, I think it\u2019s great to know your neighbors\u201d.<\/p>\n

And then, \u201cIt\u2019s a small world. This trip helped make the world smaller. That\u2019s important.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019s not the only one to feel this way. As a group, we progress quickly from small talk to deep chats. We have no wifi to distract us, and there\u2019s no country more soulful, more beautiful in which to ponder humanity. We discover that even when political realities can invite frosty relations, people \u2013 whether from Havana or Houston, Vinales or Virginia \u2013 are ultimately the same in their hopes and their fears, their struggles and their dreams.<\/p>\n

\"Vinales<\/a>

Deep chats with the Intrepid group over a picturesque dinner in Vinales<\/p><\/div>\n

This discovery, undoubtedly, is aided by Dady herself. She speaks honestly and openly about Cuban life, giving us an inside perspective into both the good and the bad.<\/p>\n

Take, for instance, the struggle that comes from living off a Cuban salary. \u201cMy best friends are doctors and surgeons. They have no debt but they get paid 20 to 30 CUCs a month\u201d. This, she says, is why tourism is so \u201cneedful\u201d for the country. Why? Well, her story is evidence in itself. \u201cComing from a farmer family I never would have had the chance to have my own house. But thanks to Intrepid, I own a house in Trinidad. I\u2019m renovating it so I can leave my six-year-old son something.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not that working in tourism is all plain sailing. \u201cI call my land the land of inconsistency,\u201d she tells me. \u201cThe hardest thing for a tour leader in Cuba is not being responsible or knowledgeable, it\u2019s trying to keep client expectations low. Cuba is unpredictable, it\u2019s different from other destinations\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"Havana<\/a>

Havana, dazzling in all its multicolored hues<\/p><\/div>\n

That\u2019s part of the charm, but undeniable, too. And things certainly don\u2019t all go to plan, even on our short trip. It\u2019s why having a sense of humor is so vital here. Of the construction causing chaos in Vinales she remarks, \u201cI\u2019m outraged. But hey, it\u2019s Cuba! No-one cares\u201d. On the topic of food, she exclaims, \u201cWhy is cooking a challenge? Because we have nothing!\u201d (But she offers up a more nuanced view, too \u2013 handing her ration card around one bus journey and explaining that everyone has the basics to get by.)<\/p>\n

At age 40, Dady also gives the group\u2019s twenty-somethings a run for their money with her ability to handle late (rum-filled) nights in Trinidad until the early hours, as they do. The next day her extensions and make-up are as immaculate as ever.<\/p>\n

\"Cuban<\/a>

Dady sitting in one of Havana’s parks<\/p><\/div>\n

Is this carefree attitude why so many Cubans seem so happy? I think to myself that I can\u2019t be alone in noticing the joy that permeates so many streets.<\/p>\n

\u201cCubans have overcome such hard periods of time that we\u2019re able to do anything. We are absolutely not shy. We\u2019ve tried so hard to survive that it makes us feel strong. That\u2019s what gives us such confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOn top of that,\u201d she adds, laughing, \u201cWe know we\u2019re good looking!\u201d<\/p>\n

Dady, quite simply, is fantastic. One guy on my tour calls her a local celebrity. She reacts modestly, but he\u2019s not far off. Everywhere we go she sees people she knows, all of whom greet her warmly. Even guidebook writers seek her out. Yet she\u2019s still not impressed by what Lonely Planet<\/em> writes about Cuba. She tells me she could do a better job and, quite honestly, I don\u2019t doubt her.<\/p>\n

\"Local<\/a>

Dady in action: sharing her local expertise with our Intrepid group in Havana<\/p><\/div>\n

This all comes down to her love for Cuba and its people. On the first morning, we prepare to depart from Havana. She introduces Will the driver with the utmost warmth (\u201can excellent driver and an even better friend\u201d) and has only enthusiasm for our next destination (\u201cyou\u2019ll love Vinales \u2013 the charisma, the people, the charm\u201d).<\/p>\n

A week later and we\u2019re back in Havana for the farewell dinner and final night. There are speeches, there are toasts, there are emotions running high.<\/p>\n

Dady has already told me that when every group finishes a tour they say to her, \u201cWe had a view of Cuba and we\u2019re leaving with a different view\u201d. She\u2019s also warned me that every time this happens, she cries (\u201cI\u2019m a romantic!\u201d). Yet even after years on the job, she reacts to our similar refrains with only heartfelt tones.<\/p>\n

Mia from Texas tells me that Dady was the highlight of her trip. “You can go on a tour and it\u2019s just a tour. But this was different, I really feel like I got an authentic experience.\u201d Dady utters a simple \u201cThank you\u201d, before saying to us all that \u201cYou have been one of the greatest groups. I don\u2019t say that to every group\u201d.<\/p>\n

And, in all honesty, even if she does say that to every group, it doesn\u2019t matter. It\u2019s the country, the experience, and the people that do.<\/p>\n
