Best friends since sixth grade, Danielle and Nikki have racked up 28 years of friendship — and in this episode, they recap January's Cuba trip, which doubled as Nikki's 40th birthday gift to herself and her first international trip since 2007.

They get into the complicated beauty of Cuba, why traveling to support the Cuban people beats the sanitized resort version, and how they made new friends without disappearing into their own friendship bubble. There's also the night their classic car broke down on a pitch-black road (fixed, somehow, with cigarette smoke and a tree branch), a poolside foot massage situation, a surprising devotion to breakfast soup, and the quiet cave in Viñales where they scattered Danielle's dad's ashes.

Equal parts hilarious and heartfelt. A reminder that the best stories rarely come from staying in your comfort zone.

In this deeply anticipated follow-up episode, Laura reunites with Andrés Asevís — beloved Cuba tour guide, author, and now, a free man. After a lifetime on the island, Andrés made it to Spain just days before an oil crisis grounded international flights and plunged Cuba into deeper chaos. One week into his new life, he joins Laura to share the raw, unfiltered experience of stepping into the first world for the first time: navigating digital payments, discovering cheap European fashion, eating McDonald's, grappling with too many cheese options, and processing the profound, disorienting joy of simply having choices. This is part two of Andrés's story — honest, emotional, and completely worth the wait.
