Of course, I&nbsp;didn\u2019t&nbsp;want to live in Venezuela anymore, but he was so mad.&nbsp;He answered,&nbsp;\u201cWhy? Why are you going there?&nbsp;This is your country, and you should stay here\u201d.&nbsp;He is from Spain, though. He&nbsp;was born in Tenerife and moved to Venezuela when he was seventeen, building a life there. A lot of people who go to Venezuela&nbsp;connect with the country&nbsp;so much that they&nbsp;feel like&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;home;&nbsp;that\u2019s how magical that place is.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really wish that Venezuela&nbsp;would&nbsp;be back to that. I hope that we&nbsp;will&nbsp;welcome&nbsp;a lot of people who are willing to&nbsp;settle down and&nbsp;fall in love with the country as my&nbsp;grandpa&nbsp;did.&nbsp;That is a dream many Venezuelans&nbsp;have;&nbsp;we are still very hopeful&nbsp;that the country will improve.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I remember, as&nbsp;a teenager, I was watching movies and seeing that other people my age were having a normal life.&nbsp;They could be in the streets with their friends, and I&nbsp;couldn\u2019t&nbsp;even leave the house without my parents. It was too dangerous, especially for a woman.&nbsp;I was so frustrated,&nbsp;thinking \u201cwhy can\u2019t I have this?\u201d,&nbsp;so&nbsp;one day, I came back&nbsp;from&nbsp;school and said to my parents \u201cI really&nbsp;can\u2019t&nbsp;stay&nbsp;one&nbsp;day longer here. I&nbsp;want to&nbsp;leave&nbsp;this country. I have no life here, so I&nbsp;don\u2019t&nbsp;care if I&nbsp;have to&nbsp;stop studying to help you, but I really want to&nbsp;leave\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was the first one to verbalize that to my family, but my&nbsp;brother was also frustrated.&nbsp;A&nbsp;lot of&nbsp;students&nbsp;were protesting,&nbsp;and&nbsp;they were&nbsp;being&nbsp;arrested&nbsp;and&nbsp;killed&nbsp;because of that, despite protesting being&nbsp;a basic&nbsp;human right.&nbsp;So, when he told me, \u201cMari, I\u2019m going to protest\u201d,&nbsp;I could only answer, \u201cNo, you\u2019re not\u201d.&nbsp;I was so worried that something would happen to&nbsp;him,&nbsp;and&nbsp;he&nbsp;didn\u2019t&nbsp;tell our parents.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually,&nbsp;the&nbsp;c<em>havistas,&nbsp;<\/em>people who support the government of Nicolas Maduro,&nbsp;started posting&nbsp;pictures&nbsp;of my brother&nbsp;and other students involved in the protests as&nbsp;procurado&nbsp;(wanted)&nbsp;on&nbsp;social media. When our parents saw&nbsp;it,&nbsp;they were mad because he was exposed to danger, and they&nbsp;didn\u2019t&nbsp;know. At the same time, they understood. Everybody was so frustrated with the government that it was hard for them to be against what he was doing when he was fighting for his rights.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My brother continued to\u00a0protest\u00a0for a couple\u00a0of days\u00a0after our parents found out, until he arrived home with a hurt arm. It was the\u00a0<em>perdigones<\/em>,\u00a0a\u00a0gun with metal spheres they\u00a0shot\u00a0at the students to make them\u00a0leave;\u00a0it\u00a0isn\u2019t\u00a0lethal, but his arm had\u00a0bruised\u00a0and a bit of blood. After we saw that, everything happened so fast, my parents quickly\u00a0made\u00a0the decision to move.\u00a0Protecting our family is a Venezuelan core value; regardless of the situation, if we have a problem, we will always rely on\u00a0each other.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We went to&nbsp;Barcelona, Spain,&nbsp;and in the beginning,&nbsp;it was the glory for me,&nbsp;a&nbsp;completely different world. I finally could do the things I&nbsp;couldn\u2019t&nbsp;do in&nbsp;Venezuela,&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;didn\u2019t&nbsp;miss&nbsp;living there&nbsp;at all. I was avoiding reading every kind of news&nbsp;about the country&nbsp;and rejecting my culture all the time. I was&nbsp;focused on my life in Barcelona and grateful for the opportunities I had.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/translatingsaudade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-18-at-17.20.40-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-144\" srcset=\"https:\/\/translatingsaudade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-18-at-17.20.40-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/translatingsaudade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-18-at-17.20.40-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/translatingsaudade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-18-at-17.20.40-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/translatingsaudade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-18-at-17.20.40-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/translatingsaudade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-18-at-17.20.40.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mariangel Garcia Seijas (Picture: Caroline Moreiras)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It was not until I moved to Australia\u00a0to study English in 2023\u00a0that I started to feel most nostalgic\u00a0for Venezuela; 7 years had passed by that time. Many Venezuelan talents were\u00a0becoming internationally famous,\u00a0so\u00a0I\u00a0was\u00a0constantly\u00a0seeing the\u00a0pictures of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/diaz?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&amp;igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/diaz?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&amp;igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==\">Reinaldo\u00a0Diaz<\/a>.\u00a0He shows\u00a0the country\u2019s\u00a0natural\u00a0beauty and is a\u00a0photographer\u00a0storyteller. I\u00a0feel moved\u00a0by\u00a0his\u00a0work.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Diaz rekindled a flame&nbsp;I had for storytelling. When I was young and still living in&nbsp;Venezuela, I admired <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/valendeviaje?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&amp;igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/valendeviaje?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&amp;igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==\">Valentina Quintero&#8217;s<\/a>&nbsp;reports&nbsp;about&nbsp;the&nbsp;indigenous&nbsp;communities. She is one of the most important Venezuelan journalists and was&nbsp;one of my role models. I wanted to follow the same career path as her. However, due&nbsp;to all the frustration&nbsp;and disconnection&nbsp;I felt&nbsp;these years,&nbsp;this desire was fading. I had forgotten about the beauty of my country and my culture, and Diaz sparked my longing for Venezuela&nbsp;again. I felt:&nbsp;\u201cWow, I want to go to Venezuela, I want to take pictures and do reporting, I will become a journalist\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately,&nbsp;I&nbsp;couldn&#8217;t&nbsp;afford to continue my studies in Australia. Coming back to Venezuela&nbsp;also&nbsp;still&nbsp;wasn\u2019t&nbsp;a possibility due to the political situation.&nbsp;So, I moved to Belgium to study International&nbsp;Journalism, and&nbsp;it&nbsp;was not easy&nbsp;from the start.&nbsp;Even though&nbsp;I\u2019m&nbsp;an extroverted and social person, in&nbsp;the beginning, I was&nbsp;always&nbsp;anxious and insecure.&nbsp;It was my first time in university, and studying in English, which I learned only for a year before&nbsp;moving.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>English is not the first language of most of my classmates, either;&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;an international group. However, it is not so diverse;&nbsp;there are&nbsp;only 2 Latin Americans in Journalism, so I came across many cultural differences.&nbsp;I think&nbsp;what&nbsp;shocked me the most was that Latinos&nbsp;are very expressive and&nbsp;affectionate. We&nbsp;like to give&nbsp;hugs and kisses, which is&nbsp;very different&nbsp;from here.&nbsp;Even though I&nbsp;didn\u2019t&nbsp;want to change who I am, I still had to adapt to the culture.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So,&nbsp;I was struggling&nbsp;with this personality conflict, but it was mostly&nbsp;because of my insecurities and thoughts, not&nbsp;because of the country.&nbsp;When I&nbsp;realized&nbsp;that, I focused on positive thinking and being honest with myself. Things&nbsp;started to flow better, and I felt more confident. I&nbsp;truly believe&nbsp;your energy&nbsp;matters,&nbsp;and&nbsp;it can&nbsp;attract people like you.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, when I was still working in a restaurant in Barcelona, I had a conversation with a Venezuelan customer and, surprisingly, he lived in&nbsp;Ghent,&nbsp;the same city I was moving to in Belgium. When I told him&nbsp;that, we exchanged contacts. \u201cText me when you arrive, I have some things I want to give to help you\u201d,&nbsp;he said.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&nbsp;was grateful but&nbsp;thought he would give me just a few simple&nbsp;things, like forks, knifes or&nbsp;maybe plates.&nbsp;I was even slightly suspicious&nbsp;because I&nbsp;didn\u2019t&nbsp;know&nbsp;if&nbsp;his intentions&nbsp;were honest, so I went with my parents to meet him.&nbsp;I was&nbsp;flabbergasted;&nbsp;he gave me a&nbsp;brand-new&nbsp;mattress, a blender,&nbsp;cluttery, and so many things that together cost a lot of money.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was really kind, but&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;not only him;&nbsp;that&#8217;s how&nbsp;Venezuelans are. Even if they&nbsp;don\u2019t&nbsp;have enough for themselves, they want to give you something. Even if you are&nbsp;a stranger,&nbsp;they will welcome you.&nbsp;It\u2019s&nbsp;a&nbsp;culture of kindness and being open to others, to serve with a smile.&nbsp;Now&nbsp;I understand that this&nbsp;is who I am, too; I am Latina, and&nbsp;that\u2019s&nbsp;never going to change, regardless of where I am.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;been a long time since I moved&nbsp;out,&nbsp;and I have a terrible memory, unfortunately.&nbsp;I wish I could remember more, but I&nbsp;didn\u2019t&nbsp;forget everything.&nbsp;Connecting with elderly people makes me remember&nbsp;the moments I used to spend with my&nbsp;grandma, for example.&nbsp;I miss her so much.&nbsp;Venezuelans have a big respect for the elderly.&nbsp;There\u2019s&nbsp;nothing more Venezuelan than asking for&nbsp;<em>la&nbsp;bendici\u00f3n,<\/em>&nbsp;the blessing,&nbsp;from our elders.&nbsp;It\u2019s&nbsp;a common way for&nbsp;young&nbsp;people to greet parents or&nbsp;grandparents. While&nbsp;it has religious roots,&nbsp;today&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;mostly cultural, a simple gesture of deep respect.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My grandma&nbsp;was the pillar of the family and had such a big heart, filled&nbsp;with&nbsp;unconditional love for us.&nbsp;Her house was always&nbsp;busy, with big caterings. When partying,&nbsp;she&nbsp;would tell us: &#8220;Turn on the music volume! Louder! Louder&#8221;.&nbsp;She was so full of&nbsp;life, and she&nbsp;liked to see us happy, so she was&nbsp;always cooking for everybody, serving everybody.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was an inherited&nbsp;characteristic;&nbsp;my mom loves to&nbsp;cook for others&nbsp;as&nbsp;well,&nbsp;and&nbsp;I learned that from both. When I cook&nbsp;traditional recipes like&nbsp;empanadas or&nbsp;arepas,&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;always for others.&nbsp;I like to make it a special moment, while&nbsp;I\u2019m&nbsp;cooking, I listen to&nbsp;the Venezuelan traditional&nbsp;music <a href=\"https:\/\/ich.unesco.org\/en\/RL\/joropo-in-venezuela-02092\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/ich.unesco.org\/en\/RL\/joropo-in-venezuela-02092\">joropo<\/a>, and I dance with the <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/PQKjLh6YMnQ?si=FUxQE0zO4lGeDN_G\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/PQKjLh6YMnQ?si=FUxQE0zO4lGeDN_G\">rhythm<\/a>.&nbsp;When I share the&nbsp;food,&nbsp;it makes me feel happy and&nbsp;accomplished&nbsp;if&nbsp;they like it.&nbsp;All these rituals make me connect with my roots and with who I am.

I think my mission in communication is to report on the beautiful nature there,\u00a0the\u00a0culture, the indigenous people,\u00a0and how\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0all connected.\u00a0But at the same time, if\u00a0there\u2019s\u00a0something\u00a0wrong with\u00a0respecting\u00a0human\u00a0rights, I want to say it.\u00a0I want to show good and\u00a0bad things\u00a0to the world.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is important because after the capture of Maduro by the United States, many people suddenly felt the urge to comment on\u00a0it.\u00a0People argue that the United States violated international law, but in Venezuela, there were\u00a0actually no\u00a0functioning laws or human rights protections.\u00a0The country has\u00a0the <a href=\"https:\/\/worldpopulationreview.com\/country-rankings\/crime-rate-by-country\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/worldpopulationreview.com\/country-rankings\/crime-rate-by-country\">highest crime\u00a0index<\/a> and\u00a0one\u00a0of\u00a0the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unhcr.org\/mid-year-trends\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.unhcr.org\/mid-year-trends\">worst cases<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unhcr.org\/emergencies\/venezuela-situation\">mass emigration\u00a0<\/a>in the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is&nbsp;very easy&nbsp;for people, especially in Europe and in Western societies, to comment on a situation they have never experienced in their lives and that they know nothing about.&nbsp;Really, once a guy asked me if Venezuela was in Spain.&nbsp;It&#8217;s&nbsp;easy to just post on social media from the comfort of their privileged lives, with access to education, a home, three meals a day, and the opportunity to progress.&nbsp;I did not have that. I did not have a choice, and many other Venezuelans also&nbsp;don\u2019t&nbsp;have these opportunities.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, I want to inform&nbsp;people&nbsp;as&nbsp;today, I have a&nbsp;relatively good&nbsp;life, for which I am immensely grateful.&nbsp;But that does not change the fact that I have been an immigrant my entire&nbsp;life,&nbsp;facing discrimination, being judged, and having to say goodbye to friends repeatedly because I had to emigrate multiple times. Belgium is the fifth country I have lived in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in Spanish we have this expression \u201c<em>echar&nbsp;para&nbsp;adelante<\/em>\u201d,&nbsp;which means \u201ckeep going forward\u201d.&nbsp;Even though we come from&nbsp;adversity,&nbsp;we always try to take the best from everything.
