Hello everyone, it is exciting to have a space where to share something as personal as the experience of being a migrant, but I think it is a therapy for me, since I write things that have already happened, it allows me to analyze them and in some way serve as inspiration for my present.
Hello everyone, es emocionante tener un espacio donde compartir algo tan personal como la experiencia de ser migrante, pero creo que es para mi una terapia, ya que mientras escribo cosas que ya han pasado me permite analizarlas y que de alguna manera me sirva como inspiración para mi presente.
It was 2019, Bernardo and I had been married for 1 and a half years and the very critical social and economic situation in Venezuela became too hostile for me, and a personal tragedy was the trigger that made us definitely make the decision to leave the country, but since it was an option for both of us for a long time, we had already regularized all our documents and had them apostilled, since we did not want to leave illegally, understanding that this closes much more opportunities for you and makes it much more difficult to path of what already is.
Corría el año 2019, Bernardo y yo teníamos 1 año y medio de casados y ya la situación tan crítica social y económica de Venezuela se hizo demasiado hostil para mi, y una tragedia personal fue el detonante que hizo que definitivamente tomáramos la decisión de salir del país, pero como era una opción desde hace tiempo para ambos, ya habíamos regularizado todos nuestros documentos y los teníamos apostillados, ya que no queríamos irnos de forma ilegal, entendiendo que eso te cierra mucho más oportunidades y se hace mucho más difícil el camino de lo que ya es.
Thinking and debating in which country we would go to and seeing the experiences of friends who already left long before us, we made the decision that it was Ecuador, since Bernardo's father and his wife and other relatives lived there and we wanted to be close of close people, although never with the intention of being financially helped by anyone.
Pensando y debatiendo en qué país sería al que nuestros iríamos y viendo las experiencias de amigos que ya salido mucho antes que nosotros, tomamos la decisión que era Ecuador, ya que el papá de Bernardo y su esposa y otros familiares vivían allí y queríamos estar cerca de personas cercanas, aunque nunca con intención de ser ayudados económicamente por nadie.
In that way we began to do everything that involves moving to another country, from selling the few things we had until now, quitting our jobs, saying goodbye to our relatives, and informing ourselves as much as possible through videos of how the trip should be done. and all that conglomerate of errands that must be done. Precisely from the presidency of Ecuador, I announced that in August of that year, a VISA would be requested from Venezuelans to enter, and we had planned to leave in September, which made us anticipate it and not be able to sell everything, in the end we managed to have $ 600 that Very honestly, it is a lot of money if we compare it with most of my compatriots who have had to go out even walking, so when we had everything ready, we bought the ticket Cumaná-Puerto La Cruz, which would be our first bus of the entire route, in the next post I will tell you then how was that trip we made by road from Cumaná to Quito!
De esa manera empezamos a realizar todo lo que conlleva mudarse a otro país, desde vender las pocas cosas que teníamos hasta los momentos, renunciar a nuestros trabajos, despedirnos de nuestros familiares, e informarnos lo más posible mediante vídeos de cómo debería que hacerse el viaje y todo ese conglomerado de diligencias que hay que hacer. Justamente desde la presidencia de Ecuador, anuncio que en Agosto de ese año se solicitaría VISA a los venezolanos para entrar, y nosotros teníamos planeado irnos en Septiembre, lo cual nos hizo adelantar el y no lograr vender todo, al final logramos tener $ 600 que muy honestamente es bastante dinero si lo comparamos con la mayoría de mis compatriotas que les ha tocado salir hasta caminando, así que cuando ya tuvimos todo listo, compramos el pasaje Cumaná-Puerto La Cruz, que sería nuestro primer bus de todo el recorrido, en el próximo post les contaré entonces cómo fue ese viaje que hicimos por carretera desde Cumaná hasta Quito!
