A Venezuelan woman from Florida has caused a stir with her funny and honest reflection on what life is like being married to a Cuban. In a video she uploaded to TikTok, she shared some anecdotes that reflect her experience, highlighting cultural differences, the things she has learned, and adopted since living with her Cuban husband.
"I am Venezuelan married to a Cuban," @andreinaguti7 begins saying in the video, before she starts to recount the most striking clashes she experienced. "It took me a while to understand what his family was saying because those people talk really fast with words I didn't understand," she comments.
Another aspect she mentions is the famous Cuban custom of drinking coffee. "I confirm that those people drink coffee at any hour of the day," she jokes. "Morning, afternoon, or night. Every time you visit someone, the first thing they do is brew coffee." Although it might seem like a complaint, she quickly clarifies that she is far from being upset: "I love coffee," she says.
The Venezuelan also reveals how some Cuban customs have "stuck" to her, such as using some swear words to vent in stressful situations.
Regarding music, she admits to having become a fan of the cast. "I have to admit that the cast's music is too addictive. I know all the artists, I know all the songs by heart, and I play it for my kids in the car. I love the cast," she proudly comments.
Additionally, she highlights another characteristic she has noticed about Cubans: their ability to "solve" problems. "When something breaks, they don't throw it away; they find a way to fix it because I imagine that's what was necessary to do in Cuba. I love that about them," she says, appreciating this skill so deeply rooted in Cuban culture.
This video has generated many reactions, both from Cubans and Venezuelans, who identify with the cultural differences and celebrate the union between these two countries through love and humor.
