A Cuban living in Suriname stated that she prefers to live in the jungle of the Latin American country than on the island after the comments she received on TikTok, where she was left messages such as "whatever you want but I'm not going to the jungle for garlic and onion" or "it's worse than being in Cuba."

Facing these messages, this Cuban showed her reality in the country, where she lives in the jungle and there are supermarkets stocked with all kinds of food.

"I am a Cuban woman here in Suriname in the jungle, look here I live surrounded by jungle. Everything is jungle. From tigers, monkeys, snakes, everything. I live near a river. But I am going to show you everything that is here that unfortunately we do not have in our country," started saying this Cuban, who entered the store, showing the food they have there.

Everything that is here, which my beautiful Cuba doesn't have, in a jungle, from a bottle of oil. Diversity of foods. Cookies, everything you can imagine is here in this jungle. It's better to live in this jungle than to live there, in my beautiful Cuba," she said, based on her own experience.

"It's my belief that anyone who wants to be here is in a country of opportunities, of entrepreneurship, of moving forward. Many Cubans live here, I'm not in the city, I'm in the jungle, but everything is different here even though we miss our families and face difficulties. Here, we come to fight, and when one leaves Cuba, it is with a purpose; there are no purposes there," he said, pointing out the situation on the island.
