Event Description
I knew about the Cuban Missile Crisis and Che Guevara. I’d heard the music and drunk the rum from Havana but knew little else about the island of Cuba. There’s something mysterious about it and I had to go and see it. I’d missed an opportunity whilst riding my Royal Enfield motorbike up through Central America some years before but it wasn’t too late to make a special journey to see the island in 2015. Having a passion for travelling by motorbike, I asked friends who had been to Cuba if it was possible to hire motorcycles there. There was much head-scratching and networking, which is how I ended up with Hector! Mix yourself a mojito and join me as I show you my trip to Cuba.

Meet the Host, Jacqui
Since her "big trip" (the journey covered in her book, Hit the Road, Jac!) Jacqui has enjoyed travelling around the UK, usually with her Royal Enfield motorcycle, to share the joy of adventuring, whether with wheels or no wheels, with company or alone. She has given talks to a variety of audiences. She's also written for many magazines and blogs and been interviewed for podcasts and on radio stations.
Preparing for the Event
For the best experience, you will need to have Zoom downloaded onto your computer. Please ensure you're connected to broadband/wifi rather than using your mobile phone connection (3G/4G).
We also recommend that pets are either calmly sitting on your lap or in another room, and any refreshments you may require are within your reach!
