Andrés Asevis is a published author, painter, singer, and one of Cuba's most beloved tour guides—someone who shows you the soul of a place while being completely honest about its realities. Travelers fall in love with him because he's fun, incredibly intelligent, and makes you feel like you're exploring Cuba with a friend. In this meaningful conversation, Andrés shares what it's like to live in Cuba versus visit it, the reality of Cuban daily life beyond what tourists see, and the courage it takes to chase your dreams across an ocean. After years of waiting, Andrés has finally gotten his Spanish citizenship and is about to leave Cuba for the first time to start over in a new country at 38 years old.
