Mermaiding: Fun with Fins in Cuba

The first time I did mermaiding in the Philippines a couple of years ago. I was so taken by it that I wanted to try it again. As soon as I had bought a mermaid tail online, I could entertain myself on any beach. Recently, I managed to swim in Cuba, off the island of Cayo Guillermo. This is an absolutely ridiculous pastime, but it brings me great pleasure. Sometimes, I’m a bit lazy to drag the mermaid tail along on a trip because it’s quite bulky and you can’t pack it in a suitcase, but it weighs very little and is not difficult to carry around.

  • Last winter, we were lucky enough to enjoy a brand-new, beachfront, all-suite hotel by the Caribbean Sea. The massive grand opening took place at the end of November, 2016, and now this 5-star resort is ready to invite you to relax.

  • My wife and I chose to spend our honeymoon in the Dominican Republic. Long, white sandy beaches, clear turquoise waters, exotic food, and cocktails at sunset... we couldn't think of a more idyllic place for a young couple to celebrate the start of their new life together!

  • As a big fan of and frequent visitor to the Maldives, I’m often asked which accommodation is best when travelling to these sunny islands. On Angsana Velavaru, the choice is obvious – it has to be a water villa. Angsana’s second Maldivian property, which has a strong Asian feel, is most notable for its ‘InOcean’ water villas. Their uniqueness lies in their remoteness from the shore and absolute privacy – the stand-alone structures are situated a kilometre from the main island and are reachable only by boat across the lagoon.

  • It was one of the most difficult dreams to realise. I’d always wanted to swim and play with dolphins, the most amazing creatures on Earth. But simply because they are so smart and wonderful, I'm against dolphinariums. So I found a place where dolphins live in the most natural environment - the sea. Dolphin Island is located 1 km from the shore of Punta Cana, and is the only place in the Dominican Republic where you can swim with dolphins in their natural habitat.

  • So, here we go. I guess I've been dreaming about the trip around the world since I've first read "Around the World in Eighty Days" by Jules Verne. On one hand, there's nothing special about it. You just book some tickets to different connections and basically, that's it.

  • I’m a traveller with great experience. I have travelled around the world and have seen many unbelievable places and people. But this trip to Africa was different. It was like a dream which turned over my consciousness. Now that I am back and can think rationally, I can confirm, “This was the best and most vivid trip of my life”.
