My mother is a high school science teacher and she likes to host trips around the world for her students to join along and gain a brand new…

A land full of music, fishing, and all around beaches. A vacation away from home. A land many hope to one-day visit. In the Cuban culture, affection is demonstrated by touch. It is not considered a…
