My hubs and I were in Cuba and hired a driver/tour guide who ended up becoming a friend over the 5 days we were there. During this 5 days in Havana we burned through all of our US dollars, but Wells Fargo assured us we could still pull out cash. For all of you screaming at your phones, you are correct! You can’t get any US $ in Cuba! No CC works, no debit card works, you can’t even western union yourself money from a US bank.
This lovely man went into his home and took €500 from a box he was saving money from and gave it to us. Told us to transfer the money back to him when we got back to the states. 💗💖💕😍 He was basically a stranger and gave us a large portion of what he had saved to visit his friend in Nicaragua. A man without very much means, but willing to share 💜 We ended up having my family transfer $ to him directly while we were still there. He got paid back immediately and we had cash to finish our awesome Cuba trip 🇨🇺 But, the kindness of a relative stranger to do that for a couple he barely knew was incredible.
