I read the article on Cubadave (I saw it in the "Newtimes" as I live in Miami)
I had two emotions.....
Here is a guy doing what he loves, and making a living at it
OTOH, a wasted life - I don't care how much you like steak, you can't eat at Mortons/Capitol Grill/ Ruths Chris 3 times a day, seven days a week
While I never met Cubadave, have heard of him for years, and have seen videos he has produced and narrated - my impression was we are not dealing with a genius here.
Something else some may have missed in the article was reference made to e books written on the subject at hand by one of our members, although they did not identify the author by name.
I know some really like and admire Cubadave, and you are welcome to your preferences - I also will admit that he provides realist information on subject(s) that there is often speculation and misinformation - but I did not come away from the reading the article with an overwhelming desire to be Cubadave - just the opposite.
PS In the article they devote some time to "Medellin Paisa" who frequently posted here until his murder - the article was not flattering (they called him a person with a coke habit and a big mouth - after living in New York for 20 years, I know the type) he was shot and killed recently - he was in a similar business, although the description of his business practices I found disgusting and a rip off. A real putz in fact.
As countries focus less on civil war, and more on economic stability and prosperity, they don't want to be known - by and large - for sex tourism, regardless of the <often small> percentage of tourists actually engaging in that activity - guys like Cubadave (who is unlikely to be a MENSA member anytime soon) may learn this the hard way, although hopefully not in the manner of Medilian Paisa
