3 Reasons Why I LOVE Living in Caracas
1) Almost everything that I need is within walking distance. Although this was exhausting in the
beginning, I have come to appreciate the ability to get to my favorite places with a hop, skip and a jump.
2) The abundance of activities for the kids. From beautiful parks to malls with carnival-type rides, I feel that I can take the kids almost everywhere AND they will enjoy themselves. All these options have gotten me very excited about our first summer here.
3)The weather. Hands down this place has got one of the best climates. Even with daily rain, I’m never too hot or too cold. Coming from humid South Florida weather, I’m still getting used to the idea of not needing air conditioning in the house (this has also done wonders for my son’s allergies).
There you have it folks – what more can a girl ask for?

Love your blog!
Just stumbled across it
Thanks! Come back soon
GIRL, YOU ARE SO RIGHT! I THOUGHT PARIS WAS GOOD FOR WALKING ALSO BUT NOTHING COMPARE TO VENEZUELA’S WEATHER. IT’S USUALLY TOO HOT, TOO COLD, TOO RAINY, BUT NEVER A BALANCE BUT THERE I’VE FOUND A BALANCE.
LOVE VENEZUELA, LOOKING FORWARD TO COMING BACK.
THANKS FOR A GREAT TIME.
It was great having you! Look forward to your next visit.
