Things that cannot be said before going to Cuba: "The last one is the most important."

Two Cuban friends residing in Italy have caught attention on social media with a humorous video on TikTok, where they share the things that, in their opinion, are better not to say before traveling to Cuba.

The clip, shared by the user @alegriacubanaa, has gone viral for humorously and realistically highlighting the challenges many Cubans face when planning their trips back to the island.

In the video, the friends share advice on what to avoid mentioning before the trip, especially when it comes to sensitive information, in order to prevent endless requests for favors and questions about the money they are carrying.

One of the key points is “not telling everyone,” which reflects an effort to avoid a flood of requests and expectations from family and friends in both Cuba and Italy.

Another recommendation is to inform the family, particularly the mother, only at the last minute to prevent her from "spreading the news" too soon, something that, as they joke, could lead to an endless list of requests.

Finally, the friends suggest never revealing the amount of money one carries, as it could lead to misunderstandings or expectations among acquaintances.

This video resonates with the experience of many Cubans abroad who must plan their travels discreetly and carefully, avoiding uncomfortable questions or pressure to bring back hard-to-find products from the island.

The popularity of the video on TikTok reflects how Cubans, both on the island and abroad, find in humor a way to express the complexities of maintaining family and cultural ties amid distance and the current economic situation.
