Young Cuban Woman Shares Her Unique Experience Living in Utah

A young Cuban woman residing in northern Utah has taken TikTok by storm with a confession that blends nostalgia, humor, and surprise. "I have no connections related to Cuba here. I haven't come across a bar, a little restaurant... in fact, I haven't even met another Cuban in Utah," stated creator @lizzv23 in a video that quickly went viral. She admits there are days she craves croquettes, pastries, or a cafecito, but she ends up making them at home. Despite this, she maintains a positive outlook: "Utah is beautiful... the nature here is stunning, and I love it."

The comments section was lively. Many congratulated her for living "far from the Cuban scene," with remarks like "The best thing that could happen to you," "Stay like that," or "You are blessed." Others, more pragmatic, informed her that there are indeed events and meeting spots in the state where she could connect with fellow Cubans... and even invited her for a coffee.

Lizz was taken aback: "This is news to me, honestly," she responded to those who assured her there are more Cubans in Utah than she realized. She appreciated the invitations and promised to visit some places, although she made it clear she doesn't plan to move to cities with a larger Cuban population. To those who suggested Miami, she promptly replied, "No, thank you."

Among the funniest responses, some told her that living in Utah means avoiding "loud neighborhood music" or that "Hialeah is like a communal courtyard." She also received warnings about Utah's winter, to which she replied, "I love living here and experiencing all four seasons."

In summary, what began as a personal reflection turned into a viral debate among Cubans both in and outside the U.S., with one thing clear: Lizz is happy in her corner of Utah... even if she has to make her own croquettes.
