I have a passport, but aside from some half-remembered Spanish courses from high school, I’m completely monolingual.

Sadly, the US prohibits travel to Cuba for vacations, otherwise I’d gladly put some money into their economy.

    I’d say if you go to any sovereign nation (versus an ongoing occupied colony like Hawaii or PR), just don’t try and haggle with people and try and spend money with locals explicitly instead of companies owned by foreigners. Tourism is a way that money gets to people who need it within a world that is imperfect, but it’s not like spending that money in Florida and lining the pockets of actual fascists is a more just position than giving that money to a Cuban or even a Hawaiian for that matter. Although it would be near impossible to go to Hawaii and only spend money with Hawaiians, going to any sovereign nation will be much easier to support the people who could use some extra money.
