About me
Sheyla was born and raised in Cuba. Moved to the United States 20 years ago after meeting her husband at her beloved island when she was performing with a band at the Riviera Hotel in Havana. She is a Journalist, Actress, Producer, and Photographer with a passion for travel. Sheyla launched the tour agency to Cuba out of her desire to share her culture, music, dance, and the architecture of her homeland with others. Her agency provides travel arrangements to all Latin countries and Caribbean islands. She has several award wining short films and was recognized as a leading media personality in the Latino community in Tennessee with the award “Beacon of Light” in 2019. Sheyla was one of the few Cuban-American journalists selected to travel to Cuba with President Barack Obama in 2016 as part of the White House Press Corp.
Why I love my job
I love visiting other places, learning about different cultures, meet new people, and have friends across the globe and sharing my own culture with others. For a long time, US citizens weren't allowed to visit my homeland of Cuba, and people always asked me how they could go and visit, so now they have the opportunity to do so. I wanted to be the first person they contacted to be their guide of my homeland. Cuba has been a country dormant in time but full of life with colorful buildings, many rhythms, beautiful culture, and diverse architecture. A destination to be added to anyone's bucket list.
Favorite Destinations
I spent sixteen days in Hawaii, and I fell in love with those islands. It's magical, mystical, unpredictable landscapes and very relaxing. I can't wait to go back again.
About my most memorable vacation
My most recent trip was back to my homeland of Cuba. I took a group of happy travelers on tour for two weeks. They loved it, and I was thrilled that they enjoyed the journey so much that I want to go back again.
