After a 2016 full of new experiences, Chicago Fire defender Jonathan Campbell was able to sneak one more unique one in before his year came to a close.

In early December, he and former University of North Carolina teammate Rob Lovejoy spent four days exploring Cuba in the wake of the country’s on-going restoration of diplomatic relations with the United States. It just so happened their trip also fell within the nine-day window of mourning for recently deceased Cuban leader and revolutionary Fidel Castro, without question a time of historic significance for the country.
