Heading to Havana? My Hot-stuff Havana for the current @st_travelmag is chocka with cool stuff to do in the Cuban capital @cubaprivatetravel @plansouthamerica

Pork, lemongrass and the Laos factor. I explore the highlights of this Southeast Asian nation and its super fragrant food with @insideasiatours for @telegraphtravel @pastelaofood @the_apsara @letriocoffee @tamarindlaos @laopoet @theriverresort @doikanoi

Solo travel through Cuba? Or exploring the island with a car and a chatty driver? My hot tips for @st_travelmag Total Guide Caribbean

Where I racket about the Cuban capital for @telegraphtravel in search of Graham Greene and his ‘Our Man in Havana’ bars, hotels, plazas & places. This month marks 60 years since the film release https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/caribbean/cuba/articles/havanna-culture-graham-greene-hemingway/ Digging about Havana I found this ‘La Ciudad en sus Manos’ from 1958. Greene may well have looked up Cabarets in this directory and seen this image. Surely this Bomba Atomica image gave him a grand idea? cc @hull1021 @journeylatinamerica

Another beautiful place to stay in northern Old Havana @twinshavana #havana #cuba #cubatravel #havanastays

It seems as if the dome of St Isaac’s Cathedral, St Petersburg, has been screwed onto the top of Havana’s Capitolio. There’s also a touch of Red Square at Cuban artist José Toirac’s latest show ‘Esto no es un Tributo’ at Galeria Acacia looking right over this new golden dome @meirytoi

One of my favourite places to stay in my favourite city in the world @lareserva_vedado Cuba’s boutique stays just keep getting better. #cuba #cubatravel #casasparticulares #homestay #havana

My article and pics on ebiking around Cuba for @wanderlustmag is now online. It was the most brilliant fun way to explore the island https://www.wanderlust.co.uk/content/ebiking-in-cuba/ @cubaniatravel

Food tours in Vientiane, Hanoi and Havana for @guardiantravelsnaps My tips https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2019/jun/26/20-best-food-tours-around-world-lisbon-lima-havana-hanoi Pictured: a Lao woman making khao lam at her home business near the Mekong River in Vientiane

Great story by @cubasarahmarsh on the Cuban dildo. ‪I bought these two from the Havana Bienal art pop-up @consolezvous1 at @fabricadeartecubano A friend asked me to bring a vibrator to Cuba earlier this year. I bottled out and bought her something equally utilitarian she wanted - a tin opener. Thing is I was teased mercilessly for my decision. Cuba's first 'sex shop' tackles taboos, fuels legalization calls https://uk.reuters.com/article/us-cuba-sex-idUKKCN1TQ192‬

Ebiking on rollercoaster roads through limestone valleys in western Cuba to Trinidad and beyond was a doddle and a giggle. My story on this wonderful trip is out in this month’s @wanderlustmag #cuba #vinales #trinidad #ebiking #ebikingcuba #wildcuba #nature #cubanature

My story & pictures on Havana’s neon revolution for BBC Travel. @kadirlopezart & team are restoring the Cuban capital’s vintage neon signs. ‪Is Havana getting a makeover? http://www.bbc.com/travel/story/20190505-is-havana-getting-a-makeover‬

When space is at a premium in Havana why wouldn’t you use an old family tomb as a garage? This boarded up mausoleum had a loose cloth covering one cracked square pane. I couldn’t help moving it aside for a peek... #gravegarage #cementeriodecolon #havanacemetery #havana #cuba

Last chance to read my piece on exploring western Cuba by classic car for @st_travelmag #vinales #vinalesvalley #cigars #cubanfood #lasterrazas #cubatravel #cuba #cubanclassiccars
