Journey Across Forgotten Cuba 🇨🇺

Backpacker Kurt Aka Kurt Travels, the greatest addition to the KZbin world has set forth on the most challenging KZbin quest known to mankind. Traveling Cuba. After one week traveling in real hippy backpacker fashion, starting from Santiago de Cuba across the Island, I have come to the conclusion that I won't be attempting that again.

This is your best video ever. Edermis had me nearly in tears with the positivity and hospitality that shined through all of his words and actions. Then to make things even crazier he lost his arms in a war with the birth country of the guy he’s driving around, invited into his house, giving him fruit? Unbelievable storyline which I’m sure touched you as well. Thanks for setting out on this one and giving people like Edermis and Manuel a platform to share their kindness with the world.

[@daledenton7296]

This is one of his worst videos. Cuba isn’t like other countries because of Kurt several men and women in Cuba were arrested from him exposing them doing something illegal according the the Cuban government. He is such a fake person it’s all an act for the camera. He knew exactly what he was doing when he posted these videos in Cuba. Only cares about making money on KZbin.

Edermis was the star of this video. What a joy and privilege to meet someone like him. It meant all the world to him to be a part of your visit and to help you meet your objectives. Even when Kurt first saw Edermis, he said, “This guys got no arms, I’m not gonna let him drive me.” But I bet now there’s no other moto taxi driver or even person in all of Cuba that Kurt would rather spend the day with.

The guy on the motorbike has to be an inspiration to us all in the western world. Here he is with no arms working every day earning whatever little money possible to provide for his family and pets. He doesn’t complain once and he is grateful for what he has in life. And in reality living in the west if you have money in your wallet, a roof over your head, clothes on your back, food in the cupboards, can go anywhere you want on vacation then you are already richer than 60% of the world. Yet people in the west have become so self entitled it’s ridiculous. Always be grateful for what you have in life!

[@HenkJamn]

That is so true. I can guarantee you that it is a war nobody wanted. I can understand why my country of South Africa wanted to defend itself from communism. It is not something we believe in as we don't align with those sort of values. This being during the Cold War era where Communism wanted to flex its powers against Democracy or even the USA. Whatever they believed in that time. I feel sorry for those who fought in the war on both sides. Such a pointless war if you compare to what impact it has today. From South African point of view, the government never mentions anything that happened that time or praise those that sacrificed their lives, body and spirit to that war. The ANC government of South Africa will never applaud the sacrifices of that time. Its a real shame. Some of our soldiers have made it a mission to meet the soldiers they have fought. Most of them can happily talk about that time and we have little hate for one another. Each see it as a duty that was laid upon them at the time. Its cool to see that both sides got to meet each other and have such a positive view of each other. Still it is such a unnecessary war. Feel sorry for those affected by it.

This brought memories back to when I was 18 years old and on the South African side opposing Cubans in Angola in 1979. Wars start with huge parades, crowds cheering and the waving of flags and wars end with shattered people trying to put their lives together with whatever they have not lost in the war. Edermis is a massive inspiration and I will be sharing this with the South African veterans.

Hello Casper. IM cuban too but i live in USA and i hate everything related to castro and communism. My respect to you for been a Soldier in that word , i don't know if you got this part when he said " I was too young , 18 years old .......they took me. this means he had to go as many others youngsters again they will , they didn't really want to go or were proud about it, they have not other choice , if they said no they throw them in jail. many young men where sent to prison in Cuba under fidel castro regime for refuse to go to that war in Africa

[@CasperLabuschagne]

@@francomedina7377 I did see that and it did have an impact on me since I too was 18 years old where we were conscripted within a month of leaving school for two years of military service of which up to 18 months will be in active service in the border war. On the South African side, those that refused to go were also thrown in jail. In the small South African town where I live there is a graveyard for the young boys that went to that war and never returned to their loved ones. The irony is that we thought the war was necessary since the Cubans were there and the Cubans thought the war was necessary since the South Africans were there. Today those areas look exactly as it did before the South Africans and Cubans passed over that land in an all but forgotten war in the name of their respective ideologies that amounted to empty slogans and battle cries that simply did not stand the test of time.

Kurt I have no idea if you will ever see this but I will state my opinion regardless. In my view, this is, hands down, the single best video you've made and I say that having followed your channel since the beginning. The bond you created with the motorbike driver was simply fantastic and I bet we could all feel it through the screen. We could all see that it meant something for the both of you. Him hearing your story, you hearing his. The bond between you being South African and him having been forced to fight on the Angolan side back all those years back. How he, regardless of what people thought of him and the cards life dealt him, still fought on after returning home and got back on his feet. It was simply fantastic. So, thank you for taking us on this trip, showing us life in Cuba, hearing the stories, talking with people and teaching the rest of us some important life lessons, including how sandwiches in Cuba is an absolute no-go. From Denmark, I thank you for yet another great video and I wish you nothing but the best going forward. Till the next one! Stay safe.

I was contemplating the opposite. When he called everyone else that pretty much has more than a missing appendage a bitch for complaining. I agree the able bodied humans in this case should be more appreciative of what life has to offer them but everyone goes through different journeys. People should in general "bitch" less for sure but what someone sees as bitching can be as seeking help too. See where this is going? Still gonna watch Kurk his stories are interesting to follow along with because he always has a positive message to give and can literally communicate with most humans even if he cant speak their language. Perception and expectation are often muddled.

It made me cry when he told us how he lost his arms. I'm sure when you got on that bike with him you never expected the reason to be so intertwined with the place that you were born. The world is honestly such a small place. Thank you for helping him out, he will surely appreciate that money for a very long time.

infinite respect to Edermis. What an incredible meeting with him.

[@IFoundMyBrand]

Bro, I am 100% serious when I say this is the BEST KZbin video I ever seen. The plot twist where the driver lost his arms in the war with your country. You can tell it effected him hearing you were South African. I’m so happy you gave him much money because his soul is so good. You both had a good connection too! When you finished his saying about loud dogs don’t bite. BEAUTIFUL! Oh man, I laughed and I cried. I smiled so big when you smoked a damn Cuban cigar rolled by the Cuban farmer in Cuba. Dear lord man, that must have been amazing!!!

[@dannyfenton3476]

I love this comment.

[@motttta]

I felt the same. I really felt that that moment, he got some really big PTSD. I can only imagine the amount of things that rushed his mind at that moment, when he said he was from South Africa. He probably never imaged that would come, somehow, hunt him down 40 or 50 years later, but also come as a blessing in disguise. Gave me chills to think about it.

[@tadeuszmusic]

The fact that the bus at the end turned up at the exact moment Kurt and Edermis time together came to an end AND it happened to be going to Havana really is one of those special moments where the universe works in miraculous ways. On their journey together they shared a special bond and the universe decided to reward them after such a nightmare with travelling with exactly what was needed. This world is incredible sometimes.

[@dg-qn5mi]

I feel like God sent Kurt there on a mission. He went into places no other tourists would dare to go. And uncovered shocking details that can't be shoved back into the magic lamp. The global community needs to wake the f--- up.

The same people that coined “Patria y Vida” are the same ones that push for the continuance of the embargo.

[@carloscueto7561]

@@VeganExcellence663 Lifting the embargo will change nothing. If anything, it will just lead to ignorant Americans going to the island and filling up the pockets of the dictatorship government even more, which will just use the money for themselves and to arm the police and military and oppress the people. So yes, don't end the embargo, it will not help the people in any way. Cuba can already trade (and does so) with hundreds of countries around the world, as you can see from Kurt's Cuba series. Their corrupt government just decides not to pay back debts and nobody wants to trade with them because of that. They don't even allow people to go fish... it's an internal embargo, caused by their own government.

[@areyouseriousiam]

Nice man, I was born in Sancti Spiritus. I recognized the whole city. That guy Edermis didn’t over charge you at all for that trip, he actually charged you pretty low for all the tours that’s easy 3000. He really deserved that tip. I grew up since I was 3 in Miami but when I was 20 I went to visit and I fell in love with my wife, the mother of my daughter. I bought a house and a motorcycle over there and basically lived there for 4 years while we waited for their visas. The people there are very genuine and they will share the little they have with you and try to accommodate you to the best of their ability. It was pretty harsh on you and you have money, I lived with the locals for many years and it’s tuff my man, living there made me appreciate all the opportunities and luxuries we have in countries like the US. 80% of the people there don’t have A/C or hot water or showers with running water so they have to bathe with a bucket full of water and a plastic cup. Now as I’m writing this they only have power around 12 hours of the day so the other 12 they don’t even have fans for air a lot of the times they have to sleep in the summer with no A/C and not even a fan because the power is out. Yet they are all very happy with the little they have and really help each other out as a community, neighbors are all you got over there because the government abuses and exploits them and takes their basic human rights. Anyway man glad you got to see my home town. And if there’s a next time don’t eat all those nasty sandwiches go to the private sector for food they have way better food and try the pizza! It’s literally better than any pizza in the US. Blessings good luck on your journeys and stay safe

[@toast1121]

Edermis went above and beyond to help you on your mission and I can honestly say I've never seen anyone with as much determination as he has in life. I hope he and his family have bright and happy futures. It would be cool if someday you could go back and surprise him.

[@jamesdaple9951]

I bet once the government sees that video they’ll arrest Kurt

[@claudiaprima5122]

Yes...in the video where he stand at the back and say that the bus is full and they did not let him in but when Edermis enter the scene he automatically sit in....in our country that seat is intended for PWD and no one without disability allowed to sit on that spot.

[@jsphat81]

Kurt always manages to find the kindest souls in every country he visits. It's like he has great intuition to find people like that and to top it off, he gave Edermis a year's salary in Cuba for helping him complete his mission. Another gem of a video from Kurt!

[@DaniRunds]

I was in Cuba a few months ago, in November, 3 weeks travelling solo, as a spaniard it wasn't as difficult as it might be for you, but in any case it was a very intense experience, to call it somehow, with very mixed feelings, feeling like at home and at the same time completely like a foreigner. I did the opposite way you are doing, first Sancti Spiritus and then Camaguey, Sancti Spiritus was my favourite city in Cuba, a very socialist city full of governmental institutions where I felt everybody was middle class, I wasn't bothered at all on the street and was the first (and almost only) place in Cuba where I felt people were genuinely interested in me as a person, not just as a wallet. Had a canchanchara in the hotel where you are staying and on that same square I met a ginger girl whom I got a crazy crush on. Camagüey on the other hand was without electricity half of the time, on my last evening in the city I found a restaurant with a generator, ate some pork, the next day I had a crazy diarrhea and had to travel to Santiago, like 5 hours on a bouncy road, holding it, the only stop on the way had a toilet with shit overflowing up to the top, and no paper, had to hold it all the way to Santiago. Once arrived, sweating from holding it and dying inside, still didn't take a taxi (stubborn me not wanting to give a cent to any scammers, taxi drivers being the champions in it) and walked to the airbnb, got lost (google maps sometimes is not that accurate in Cuba), sat down, and when standing up after 6 hours holding it I couldn't take it anymore, I REALLY needed to release it, so I walked in the first building next to me and begged for a toilet, it was a school, 4 teachers in the hall were shocked about me walking in like that dropping my luggage in pain, they didn't want to allow me in, but after further begging they quickly did. So there I was, on a tiny child toilet (I'm 1,93m), releasing the tsunami, the noisy tsunami, there I started sweating like I just took a shower, with 0 privacy, it was an open toilet in an courtyard, and the teacher, a tighten up girl, was there waiting for me to finish, there was a little wall (up to my hip) dividing the toilets, so with a tiny bit of privacy and with the toilet paper the bus driver gave me, I cleaned myself somehow. When I came out all the teachers were making fun of me (has jiñado eh? Allí también decís jiñar? Claro hombre) and a gay teacher who just entered the room wanted to introduce himself in a flirty way, "I don't think you want to give me the hand right now" I answered, lot of laughs around. But it didn't end there, when I came out of the school, I sat down on the street to rest, it started to rain, got some shelter in a staircase, and suddenly the homeless guy who asked me for money 2 mins ago was upstairs, he came down and sat down next to me, he started talking about jesus, his old job, on a loop, he said the same things 10 times, like on a trance, then he started singing religious songs with his arms to the sky, and there I was, exhausted, sweating, lost, dirty, wet and wondering wtf I am doing there. Anyway, had a shitty day at work and then I just noticed you uploaded this video and felt like sharing one of the hundreds anecdotes of my solo trip in Cuba, enjoy the experience man (if you can, I wouldn't go back either), I just came across your channel a week ago and already watched several of your adventures.

Much respect to Edermis. He used his own perserverance to overcome the loss of his arms at age 18 (that war was traumatic for him), modify the motorcycle, and make a living as a driver. He has made a good life with a nice home, a wife and two daughters. Kurt was fortunate to connect with Edermis. The tobacco plantation was a plus. What people might not know is that the sticky substance Kurt felt when touching the plant leaves contains nicotin which absorbs on the skin. Tobacco growing in the field or in an uncured state is called “green tobacco.” Uncured tobacco is toxic when in prolonged direct contact with the skin. Workers engaged in tobacco cultivation suffer from an occupational illness known as “green tobacco sickness” (GTS). The tobacco grower, Manuel, is one tough dude working to grow, harvest and cure his tobacco.
