Cuban YouTuber Yoliska Navarro, known as Yoliene, shared with her followers the milestones she has achieved after six months of living in the United States. "You all know better than anyone how much I wished and fought to be here. It still seems incredible," she said in a video on her YouTube channel.
Yoliene revealed that during this period, she has accomplished simple yet unimaginable things in Cuba, such as gaining independence and owning a car. More importantly, she has been able to travel and visit cities like Miami, New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Seattle.
The young YouTuber showed her apartment and shared her daily routine, which starts with cardiovascular exercises (cardio) on a stationary bike each morning.
She also explained that she still doesn't have all her documentation in order. Nevertheless, on March 13, she started studying to validate her dentistry degree. "I decided that even without the documents, I would start studying for my career. By the time all the documents are here, I can present myself to the Board and take the exam to then apply to a university," she detailed.
Since mastering the language is crucial to resuming her career, she began studying English at an academy and online. "This is how it feels to study your career from scratch in English, learning the parts of the tooth, how to say enamel, pulp, dentin, and cement in English," she said.
Another challenge she has yet to tackle is obtaining her driver's license, although she already owns a car.
Yoliene arrived in the United States in November with her mother and several neighbors after a journey of just over two months from Nicaragua. The content creator documented the trip from Mexico City to the border at Ciudad Juárez, to her reunion with her family at Jacksonville Airport in Florida after entering the United States through Texas.
Although she began her journey through Central America in September, she had left Cuba in June, heading to Trinidad and Tobago. "My face says it all," she wrote on her social media to announce her departure from the Island.
