In a video shared on TikTok, the young Cuban Milena Cueto Rodríguez joined the popular trend on social media "I am Cuban and" to reflect on the differences between her life in Cuba and in the United States, emphasizing everything she has gained in her new place of residence.
The young woman, a content creator on platforms where she frequently publishes recipes, commented that every time she picks up her mail in the United States, she feels overwhelmed "because this simply doesn't exist in my country."
She also highlighted the ease of acquiring items for her home, mentioning that she can buy all the decorations she wants without having to wait generations to inherit what belonged to her "great-great-grandmother."
Regarding the economy, Milena explained that when she receives her salary, she doesn't need to exchange it for other currencies to be able to shop in stores. This is one of the most significant differences for her compared to her life in Cuba.
Furthermore, every time he opens his refrigerator, he remembers that he had to pass through five countries to reach the United States and that "there was food in all of them."
And you? What would you put on your list of differences and/or gains after having left the country?
What do you think?
