The Cuban

Cubans are often nice and helpful people according to Cuban culture. They make roughly $15 per month, so if they can help you, they probably will, but they might also ask something in return. Take advantage of dinner invitations from Cubans if they are extended to you.

You will be treated with the respect that you deserve. It is a fantastic way to experience the culture. It goes on often despite the fact that regular Cubans are not allowed to host this kind of event. Staying in casa particulares and dining in paladares are two ways to support the local Cuban population. While free enterprise is typically outlawed, the government started charging people for permits a few years ago if they wanted to rent out rooms in their homes or set up a few tables on their porch and serve food.

In addition to being extremely expensive, the licenses also require monthly payments, regardless of income, which puts individuals who are less fortunate at risk of actually losing money. Staying with locals and eating in their homes is not only more interesting, but you are also helping them directly in one of the few ways that is possible.
