To house migrants like a concentration camp??!! Your definition of adventure is much different than mine.

Hell no

+1. Trump now wants to send 30k migrants (“the worst of the worst”) there while clearly there is not enough space. Does not sound like a good place to be in the near future

And the crazy part is, he thinks they came from an insane asylum, but actually they came to America to seek asylum! Now he’s going to ship them off into a camp… Sound familiar?

Her daughter is 27. It’s a perfect time to live a little and experience something other than banal middle class American culture. You sound so basic and boring

You’re not allowed to visit the real Cuba, and it’s very hard to get off the island. It can take days or weeks to get a flight if you are not a VIP.

You are stuck inside a small fenced-in military base.

This is what I’d be afraid of. I don’t think the migrant camp is really gojng to be built tjere, or at least not quickly and not at the size he’s talking about. If it’s just a year, it’s probably okay but being stuck there long term seems bad.

Yes, I enjoyed my time there! Plenty to do on base and beautiful scenery. Great experience for a young person

Yikes to both of yall

It’s a military base, and isn’t small. The camps are not even close to town. I recall it being a reasonably long ride out there, like half an hour at least. The town, where OP’s daughter would be, is just a small beach town like many others around the world. There are lots of worse places to live for a year or two. Like DC.

The military base has a golf course (oooo!) and a McDonald’s. Yeah, that’s so different than banal middle class America.

“Basic” sounds like teenager talk.

Heh. Don't forget about the movie theater! And bowling...oooh!

You beat me to it but I was just going to say to that PP...umm...are you at all familiar with base life? Especially that particular base? It's like the definition of banal middle class American culture. Actually, besides the palm trees and beaches, it mostly reminds me of like...a small generic midwestern town in the 90s. Folks stationed there aren't traipsing around Cuba "on an adventure" in their free time In fact, you're only allowed to leave if it's on a plane, and you're going anywhere besides Cuba.

And there is a lot of depression and alcoholism there. It's a tiny, isolated place where you better like water sports because otherwise there isn't sh*t to do besides drink (and bowl/watch movies).

Well, lots of people like water sports! There is great diving, fishing, spearfishing, ok surfing, etc. It’s not a bad place to spend a year IMO. You sound like a boring person.

I'm the one who said it sounded like a great job for a 20-something looking for adventure, and I guess it really depends what you're looking for. I spent 5.5 years living and working on a small tropical island in my 20s and early 30s, and I wouldn't trade a second of it even though you could make many of the same complaints about the place where I lived. I guess if you want Paris, then this wouldn't be the thing - if you want this, then it sounds great. OP doesn't have to want to do it - and her daughter doesn't have to do it forever. Take the opportunities you've got and see a little something new. Obviously you've spent enough time there to know it's not for you - why can't OP's daughter do the same?

Tell her to take a lot of condoms. There’s beaches, alcohol and a lot of hooking up.

I'm a boring person because I don't think living on an isolated American base is an "adventure"? Ok.

Never said she can't. I just don't see how this job/location would be an "adventure," or an experience to "live a little," or have something other than "banal middle class American culture."

If tropical climate, water sports, etc. are of interest, but you also want to experience unique culture and adventure, would be way better off to just go to Miami.
