The turning point came when I stumbled upon a quote that struck a chord within me: "The biggest risk in life is not taking any risks at all." Inspired by these words, I made a decision that would change the course of my life forever.

Quitting My Job and Booking a One-Way Ticket to Cuba

With renewed determination, I mustered the courage to quit my corporate job. Feeling both terrified and exhilarated, I sold most of my possessions, packed a backpack, and bought a one-way ticket to Havana, Cuba. Little did I know that this bold move would shape my destiny.

Arriving in Cuba, I was immediately engulfed by the vibrant colors, rhythmic music, and warm smiles of the locals. The energy and passion that filled the streets became contagious, and I knew I had found my calling.

Embracing the Cuban Lifestyle

Living in Cuba, I experienced a different way of life – a slower pace, a greater emphasis on community and relationships, and an appreciation for the simple joys of life. The sense of liberation and artistry that permeated the air inspired me to follow my passion and create a livelihood that aligned with my values and desires.

I immersed myself in the Cuban culture, learning the local dances, absorbing the rich history, and embracing the entrepreneurial spirit that thrived amidst limited resources. The people I met along the way, with their inspiring stories of resilience and creativity, became both my teachers and my friends.

The Birth of My Dream Job

As the days turned into months, my vision became clear – I wanted to share the beauty and magic of Cuba with the world. I decided to combine my love for travel, photography, and storytelling by creating a travel blog about Cuba, showcasing its hidden gems and capturing its authentic spirit.

With every blog post and photograph, I transported my readers to the cobbled streets of Havana, the pristine beaches of Varadero, and the lush countryside of Viñales. The response was overwhelming. People craved a genuine Cuba experience, and I was determined to deliver.

From Desk Job to Dream Job

Through dedication and persistence, I turned my passion project into a profitable business. I started organizing personalized trips to Cuba, curating unique itineraries that allowed travelers to discover the real essence of the country. As my client base grew, I also began working with travel companies to promote and arrange group tours.

What was once a distant dream had become my reality. I had successfully transitioned from a desk job that suffocated me to a dream job that exhilarated me.

The Lessons Learned and The Future Ahead

Embarking on this journey taught me invaluable lessons about taking risks, following my intuition, and embracing the unknown. It showed me that life is too short to live inside the confines of comfort and security. The world is vast and full of wonders, waiting to be explored.

Now, I invite you to reflect on your own dreams and passions. Are you content with your current situation, or is there a burning desire deep within you? Remember, the only way to discover what truly fulfills you is to step outside your comfort zone and embark on your own extraordinary adventure.

So, are you ready to trade your cubicle for Cuba, your desk job for a dream job? Start by taking that first step, and who knows, your own incredible journey may be just around the corner.

In this introspective travelogue, author, speaker and adventurer Heidi Siefkas shares her transition out of the corporate world’s Cubicle Land to life on the road in Cuba and beyond. Heidi highlights another side of Cuba as well as perspective gained from years of travel to the once-forbidden island. Along the way, she seizes opportunities for adventure in Kauai, Italy, Peru, New Zealand, Australia, and other far-flung places, but always returning to Cuba for more.

Not unlike her previous books When All Balls Drop and With New Eyes, Heidi tells this story with a good dose of sass and humor in her signature down-to-earth vignettes.
