Our good friends Jonas and Monette had their get-away wedding in Cuba recently and they invited us to come along. So what else to do than packing our bags and heading out of rainy Vancouver and towards sunshine!
The place we went to is called Melia Las Dunas and is located in Cayo Santa María,...

When I arrived in Vancouver two years ago a common question I would get was "What kind of wintersports do you do?" or even just "Do you ski or snowboard?". At first I found it funny that everyone is supposed to do some kind of wintersport around here, but when the winter actually came around I quick...
