Auxiliares de vuelo, a prepararse para el aterrizaje.
It’s official! We are now an immigrant/expat family living in Caracas, Venezuela.
As expected, it’s been exhausting trying to get settled. What has given me the motivation to get up and continue the never-ending unpacking is this…
This is the view I get to wake up (and go to sleep) to from now on. I am a self-proclaimed small town gal, so this big city living is going to be interesting. I am starting to get used to the sounds of the cars honking (who knew noise could rise so high) and the smells – yes, cities smell differently to me.
I’m going to let you in on top secret information – my mission in Caracas (which I chose to accept) is to eat at as many restaurants as humanly possible. As I progress with this arduous task, I will share my findings with you from time to time – only because I completely trust you 
In the next few days, I will post about my first impressions of Caracas.
Saludos,
Deborah

Hi Deborah! Great to have found you and your blog. It seems like there are lots of common topics on our blogs so this is a real treat. To think, it took us a year to connect?
I'm looking forward to reading about your experiences in Caracas and being an immigrant "again". Funny, most immigrant stories end in America, and look at us!
Cheers and happy holidays!
Thank you and same to you!
I'll certainly look forward to hearing all about these great restaurants and seeing photos of the food!
Congratulations on your arrival there.

Thanks, Mary!
Hi Deborah,
Starting a blog was one of the first thing I wanted to do when I arrived in Venezuela about a year ago, but I never got round to it. I am also a second time immigrant, Iranian born, I lived in the U.S for some 30 years before doing it all over again, this time with my family. It feels so familiar, learning a new language and it's cultural intricacies. I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I hope you also enjoy your experience in Venezuela.
Take care,
Fariba
Hi, Fariba!
I'm so happy to hear from someone in similar circumstances! It was actually pretty easy to do the blog since I had started it about a year before; mainly to talk about raising my children to be multi-cultural. Feel free to share any tips with me – there's so much to learn here.
Where did you live in the states?
Hi, as you may already noticed I’m new here.
Hope to receive any assistance from you if I will have any quesitons.
Thanks in advance and good luck!
Are you new to Caracas? Where are you originally from?
