Infos

An engaging, witty account of the people, customs, food, and culture of Cuba framed by a fascinating approach to travel. With only a folding bicycle and a towable suitcase, Australian Lynette Chiang spent three months touring Cuba, eshewing tourist hotels and typical iteneraries in favor of an unpredictable day-to-day existence among ordinary citizens. She discovered a people who, despite great privation, are warm, generous--and generally happy. Her narrative covers equally well the challenges of travel on two wheels and the surprises of life in the land of Fidel. Read more about Lynette at http: //www.galfromdownunder.com/cuba/

Autor

Lynette Chiang fled a decent job, three-bedroom house, fastish car, and nice bloke in Sydney, Australia, and--armed with a congenitally poor sense of direction--set off to see the world on a folding bicycle. She has traveled solo ever since, living and working in Britain, Ireland, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Cuba, Mexico, Peru, and the United States. Forbes.com named Chiang one of its exclusive "Rugged Individualists." She currently works as a customer evangelist and roving online content writer for Bike Friday, and she often is interviewed by the business press for her work in relationship marketing. Her latest cycling movie, "Route 66 by Bicycle: Pedaling the Mother Road, "was produced in conjunction with Race Across America legend Lon Haldeman.
