This is how a Cuban packs her carry-on for a trip to Cuba: "It's like playing Tetris."

A Cuban woman demonstrates on TikTok how to pack a suitcase efficiently to bring food to Cuba, highlighting the economic scarcity and the effort to support her family on the island.


In a TikTok video that has quickly gone viral, the Cuban Rosy, a content creator on the platform under the username @atrevetebyrosy, showcases the ingenuity and creativity with which she packs her carry-on bag before flying to Cuba.

The influencer, who resides in the USA, documents in the video how she meticulously organizes food and candies to maximize every inch of space in her luggage. As she explains, this process has turned into "a real game of Tetris."

The economic situation in Cuba, characterized by a shortage of basic goods and high prices, leads many Cubans abroad to choose to bring essential supplies for their families.

Rosy explains in her video how she carefully organizes the products, ensuring they are compact and secure, while placing packages, candies, and other edibles in every corner of the suitcase.

Rosy's meticulous planning reflects a reality shared by many Cubans who, when traveling, seek to bring a "piece" of help for their families.

His video not only showcases a strategy for organization but also the love and effort that so many invest in each journey back to their homeland.
