He knew that it was my bucket list destination. It was such a sweet gesture, made me cry and excited and I love him for that wonderful gift as it shifted the whole mentality for both of us. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so we went at the end of October to Cuba, stayed for almost 2 weeks. Even though I always wished to travel, that dream has been in hiding somewhere deep, but that trip to Cuba revived it with the utmost desire, I once again started to believe that we CAN travel, especially with kids. Audrius, as well, had a shift in his mind, because before that he said he was never moving anywhere, but after the journey to Cuba, his mind expanded in ways even I could not believe but am forever grateful.  Audrius changed his mind. A turning point that made it all happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we set the sail, prepared in ways to support our family while traveling, sold everything 1.5 years later and off we went on our life adventure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then we welcomed our third baby while worldschooling in Mexico in early 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am forever grateful to my husband, my children, Cuba, The Universe and everything and everyone who helped make  this dream come true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"957\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"85\" src=\"https:\/\/bravetraveling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/D6121A1B-3289-4215-A8AE-758CFFE3CE51-1-957x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-85\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bravetraveling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/D6121A1B-3289-4215-A8AE-758CFFE3CE51-1-957x1024.jpeg 957w, https:\/\/bravetraveling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/D6121A1B-3289-4215-A8AE-758CFFE3CE51-1-280x300.jpeg 280w, https:\/\/bravetraveling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/D6121A1B-3289-4215-A8AE-758CFFE3CE51-1-768x822.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bravetraveling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/D6121A1B-3289-4215-A8AE-758CFFE3CE51-1-1435x1536.jpeg 1435w, https:\/\/bravetraveling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/D6121A1B-3289-4215-A8AE-758CFFE3CE51-1-1913x2048.jpeg 1913w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 957px) 100vw, 957px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was 2019, we had 2 kiddos at the time and as I was visiting my family back in Lithuania, my husband surprised me with a trip to Cuba for my birthday.
