Written for wendyperrin.com When I won Condé Nast Traveler’s Dream Trip contest, it was based on my essay about wanting to take my kids to Florence, a city I loved but that I didn’t think of as kid-friendly.

Havana, Cuba My story starts in Cuba. I was in Havana for a week on a US-approved cultural trip through Santa Fe Photo Workshops. Each morning at 6am there was an optional photo walk around a different section of the city. The first morning I went and didn’t capture anything that… Read More
