I always love nature and its amazing to see country side of Cuba with its pure locals farmers and nature landscapes. Thank you for nice video.

[@ChasingaPlate]

There are so many reasons you're our favorite KZbin channel and this video sums up all those reasons. Fun, honest, interesting, authentic and so natural. Another totally ace video guys! T and S

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

:) Thanks guys! We definitely try to do all those things! The hard part is being honest without whining. Haha. We are in an incredibly privileged position (especially if you contrast it with the average Cuban) so while our gripes are legitimate, that are to be taken with a grain of salt. /J

[@madhuyadav6800]

Nice👍👍👍 from India🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@LeggLife]

I've absolutely LOVED following along with your Cuba adventure. Cuba is a place I've always wanted to visit, and I feel like you all have given such an authentic and honest view of the place. Thanks!

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

+LeggLife Thank you so much for the feedback. We make our content in the hope that they will help others. :) Its always so nice to get feed back like yours. Shows we're doing something right. -Ash

[@alteredillusions100]

By the title, I thought I was going to see 8 hours of WAYAWAY :) I glad Ash is feeling better. Thanks for the heads up on the over pricing. Once again your music choices are awesome.

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

8 Hours of us!! Lol wow now that would be a bit much. haha -Ash

[@georgiawong2572]

That must be the best swimming experience ever ! Love your video !

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

It was great!! I love the starfish. -Ash

[@desmondfoo9558]

[@justintay3079]

Nice video it like going back in time.

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

Yes!! Its very unique. -Ash

[@Theendlessadventure]

9:17 I've never seen a more perfect representation of Eric 😂 My butt hurts all over again after watching this!

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

Lol!! What a goof. haha -Ash

[@Ale-tq2co]

Really nice videos guys!

[@suvariboy]

This is not a criticism of you two but what you have to remember when in Cuba is that you can't get hung up on local price vs. tourist price. Most of the stuff that we would do, like horseback riding tours, are only for tourists. Cubans make < $40 USD per month. They struggle every day to put food on the table and keep a roof over their head...they're not spending their days riding horses for fun and sightseeing. Compared to the average Cuban, every tourist who travels there is rich in comparison. The money they make from tourists is used to support their entire extended family and friends as well. If you're going to take a tour or do anything that only a tourist would do, be prepared to BARTER. A lot. If you don't they'll think you're a sucker. 😃

[@AntonioDiaz-qd9yq]

It's been a long waiting for a video, but has been well wort it. thak you.

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

Yeah!! Im glad you enjoyed it. Our posting schedule is always Wednesday through Sunday. So you never have to wait. :) -Ash

[@TheTravelingClatt]

this was by far one of my favorite day with you guys

[@watz03]

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

+TheTravelingClatt It really was an amazing day.❤️ +Vathsan We have gone our separate ways. I hope to one day meet up again. A great friendship has bloomed. -Ash

[@watz03]

WΔY ΔWΔY hope the same :) their company made the vlogs more rich ...and multi dimensional of course :)

[@LouiseAuger]

Ouch to riding in shorts! Did that once as a kid, never again. Looked like a fabulous day though 🐎

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

[@m4lcqlmtv]

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

Hi Friend! -Ash

[@allenmapes8723]

Awesome video. LOVE IT!!!! I have commented before that we are going on a cruise and will be in Havana!!! We will be there for 22 hours. Knowing the time limitations, do you have recommendations for our day there? Thanks Allen from Broken Arrow OK

[@sandwichdejamonenpandecent5001]

Hahaha, the girl laughing at the background at 13:11 did not just smoke a cigar. They got some pot and rolled a huge spliff haha :D

[@ivonnecruz7958]

Hi guyssss i have been follow you for a while and i love Your videos. Is the first time i comment... the reason is just be cause i have travel to Cuba for the past 3 years maybe 2 times for year. The first time was really expensive more than i have expected, i made friends and my family and i fell in love with de people and the culture, and by being With locals each travel became less and less expensive. We inmerse in they religion Wich is another type of expirience because is sooo part of the life in Cuba, and yes for type of videos you madre it made by way out of the bugget bit this people really need the money. If you go tu Cuba you have to be prepare to deal with high prices, bargain, the food olso delicius its limited in variety, But its a place you have to visit not only to see beuty like in the "cayos" (little islands) but to meet their people. And the history of a country who has survived. Im frome mexico and a way away fan. Thaks for the effort and the quality of the videos. I adore the mexican videos.

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

Hi +ivonne cruz Its so great to hear from you. Your first comment:) Awesome! I really appreciate you sharing your experience and how making friends and getting to know people make a difference in the amount you spend. Its so awesome that you were able to develop these relationships. I assume that you speak Spanish which is also super helpful when traveling to Cuba. I hope that next time I visit my Spanish will be much MUCH better. Thank you so much for watching and sharing. -Ash

[@columbusohio72]

I need to upload my videos from 🇨🇺

[@jennynicole7714]

That is a known fact that there are two prices. Where are you guys from? If you are from the US, could you please talk about the process of being able to go since it isn't open to US tourists.

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

Thats a great idea for a video! Thanks Jenny! /J

[@ayadalzahron]

Nice video

[@thevillaschannel]

aaww there will always be people trying to rip you off and take advantage!! no matter what, its always good to have a positive attitude!

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

Thanks +ayad alzahron We're glad you enjoyed it. -Ash

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

+THE VILLAS CHANNEL Its always better to see the positive and continue with an understanding. :) -Ash

[@feederparker2871]

firs 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

[@melissaadami3144]

I beat you by 3 seconds! :)

[@feederparker2871]

Melissa Adami nope xd

[@toobydude41]

Ash you were really working that cigar! Glad you seemed to recover after that rough night. Such a shame about the pricing problems. But this is probably my favorite of the Cuba vlogs so far. No idea the country contained such beautiful scenery. And gorgeous underwater footage!

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

Hi Scott. Im actually not a fan at all of cigars but I did it for the shot and bring in Cuba with a cuban cigar. I really liked this one as well. It was such a special day of experiencing local life in a way. Cubans are hard working and so kind. I learned so much that day. -Ash

[@Ibrahimabubakarr]

Hello! I hav a question! how did you get to Puerto Esperanza to do the horse back riding excursion?

[@koryhaggert2848]

I understand Cuba was a different place before Americans were allowed in. In the past it was refreshing to see a place without Coke brand Cola or advertising of any sort. I know of two Canadians who have moved to Cuba. As far as haggling and getting ripped off I found India to be the worst experience in my travels

[@omargallardo8075]

I went to Cuba in 2011 and as soon i got there the taxi driver ripped me off, he take us from la habana to varadero. When almost arrive to the hotel y started to telling how hard the life is from them and they only live trough tips, so i try to give him money but i didn´t have change so i told me that´s good enough. Others try to sell us habanos, rum. In habana its worst than any other place you cannot walk without getting scream at you. I always leave tips but there are a lot of people who will try to make the most from you.

[@rsilva2652]

aww i'm sorry you guys feel like everyone is taking advatage of you but that's how it works when you don't have anyone inside to help you find the cheaper way 😳 At least you are enjoying yourselves!🤗👍💕

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

We really are. We want to stay open and honest while staying positive and adventurous.:) -Ash

[@cubacubana9523]

Who go to Cuba without money?

[@melissaadami3144]

First comment today! Do I get a candy?

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

I wish!! I would love to send out candy. -Ash

[@LifeMeetSteph]

I think they take advantage because they see it as a means of advancing themselves in a communist country. They are given limited resources and when they see tourist they see it as an opportunity which unfortunately sucks for us, the tourist. But keep negotiating, you can usually lower the price a ton, which you guys have been doing pretty well.

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

+Checo late Im trying to understand your question and how it relates to +LifeMeetSteph comment.

[@TheWanderingWife]

LifeMeetSteph, and they've been so oppressed and cut off from the world for so long, they are now seeing the new tourism as a chance to get a little bit ahead. It's not just a Cuban thing. Taking advantage of tourists is an age old thing. I think maybe because tourists are new in Cuba, they're a little less savvy about it. Tourists all over the world should always be on their toes.

[@Deneme12381]

az gezin be kardeşim😅😄

[@scabrera1984]

Looks very beautiful but It's sad how locals take advantage of tourists.

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

+Silvia We are glad we can share our experience so that others know what to expect. We did not intend on our talking about it to be complaining in any way. We hope we can inform others so there are no surprises:)Thanks so much for watching. -Ash

[@foreverlilouw]

It's not taking advantage. It's trying to get some more money to live. Cubans are very poor and see in tourism a source of money. It's still very cheap compared to other places such as the USA. When in Cuba, you've to be prepared not to pay in local currency. 10bucks a night or for a complete meal (appetizer, entree and dessert), it's not very expensive compared to Europe.

[@grantcivyt]

I can sympathize with the mixed feelings. I truly dislike being taken advantage of opportunistically like that. I think you have to know that you're setting yourself up when you go to remote places places you're at the mercy of others. The choices are don't go or go with clear expectations. It sounds like you enjoyed the experience, so just pretend you got a great deal!

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

We really did have some special experiences and in the end its all worth it. We hope by us explaining our experiences it will help others know what to expect and enjoy the experience with the proper understanding:) It really was worth all the trouble. -Ash

[@alejandromoran1337]

yo no voy a cuba a apoyar gobiernos ridículamente crueles

[@fredotob]

Creo que son muy llorones con el asunto de los precios.

[@DeusExMachino]

No se trata de ser lloron, ellos son como nomadas viajan muy frecuente y no tienen un lugar fijo. Por eso es que cuando viajan van mas como locales que como turistas y gastar en lo mas indispensable. Como turista siempre por lo regular vas a un solo lugar y quieres gastar, mas que todo en restaurantes y cosas mas caras por el estilo.

[@fredotob]

Me gustan sus videos y esta bien que informen la situación con los precios, pero no es tan agradable que lo remarquen tanto y hasta dan a entender que abusan de ellos. Son personas que tienen mucho mas recursos que los locales, viajen como viajen son turistas, el gobierno cubano subsidia a los nacionales no tiene porque subsidiar a los turistas.
