Ever heard of Cuba? You know; the largest Caribbean Island, the white beaches and the paradise of old American cars?  If Cuba is well known in terms of All-Inclusive resorts, I do think there are other options to make the most of it (and keeping it cheap).

These 15 shots are going to convince you to book your cheap Cuba holidays now.  But, first let’s talk about a different way to travel to Cuba.

I tend to travel as a local when I can and I reckon Cuba could be an awesome destination to travel as a local.  Or at least, ViaHero convinced me!

Hold on… Via what?

ViaHero is a new platform in the travel industry.  One goal; travel like a local!  The concept is simple; you won’t have to plan your trip yourself and you’ll leave it to a local hero who will create the perfect trip for you.

How does ViaHero work?

Dream. (And dream hard!) And tell them.

ViaHero use a form to get to know your interests and your budget.

Backpackers, don’t be scared, this form is also perfect for you (and for your budget!) as they custom the trip in the function of what you say! I tried it myself as I’m always a bit skeptical, you know… and surprise, backpackers have a place on this platform!

Not a backpacker? Please, don’t run away, this is also for you!

You choose everything keeping in mind your interest, your needs and your personality.

You pick your Hero.

You’ll browse profiles and pick the right person for you (and the right rate too!). The hero is going to get in touch with you so they can plan your trip. You won’t have to worry about anything.

Get your plan and go out there!

Once you’ve received your plan, you get ready to enjoy it!

Right now, ViaHero is focussing on Cuba, but they will expand its destinations in the near future.

So, let’s dream together!

These shots are going to convince you to book your cheap Cuba holidays now.

Are you ready?

☑ Book your flight: Who said you won’t be able to find cheap flights? My top saving tip is flexibility. If you're flexible, you should be able to find a cheaper flight. Check out Skyscanner or Google Flights for the hottest deals.

☑ Book your accommodation: Want the comfort of being at home or the luxury of a hotel? I love using Vrbo and Booking.com for those very reasons. If you're a solo traveler, Hostelworld offers a wide variety of hostels you should take a look at. Alternatively, if you're a budget traveler, sign up for Worldpackers to get FREE accommodation in exchange for work.

☑ Rent a car or an RV: Make your trip more comfortable by renting a car with DiscoverCars.com. This website allows you to compare car rentals around the world. If you're traveling in the United States, find an RV rental on RVshare.

☑ Stay safe: Travel mishaps happen – so, better be safe than sorry by covering your back with travel medical insurance. I would suggest SafetyWing, Genki or Heymondo as they offer the best rates, especially for long-term travelers.

☑ Pack the essentials: Universal charger, check; power bank, check; passport, check! What else could you forget? I've put together this ultimate packing list just for you!

☑ Do you need a visa? If you aren't sure if you need a visa, it’s highly recommended for you to double-check. You can use iVisa - it's super useful and easy to use.
