Hi! It has been quite some time since I have posted. Thanks for watching and for all the amazing messages I have received during this past year. I just needed to take some time off.
I hope you watched the video entirely. Venezuela is part of who I am and I felt the need to let you know what is happening there. It is incredibly sad and frustrating to see how a country disintegrates in front of our eyes.
I want to share this with you for those who are still there, standing ground, speaking out for their rights and for mine.
Some of the articles in the video are from last year. I wanted to show you that this is just momentary, but that it has been happening slowly. All the images are from the protest that began in April of this year 2017. The photo credits are on the images themselves and some I could not find who to credit.
Company that I founded: Fluenz.com

Hi Sonia, I'm from London. When I was in university in Paris a few years back I met a Venezuelan girl in my class. We hit it off from the beginning and stayed in touch for years. She would keep me updated about the situation in Venezuela and her experiences as a trainee doctor. It alway surprised me how everyone in her photos always seemed so happy but what she was telling me was so horrible (no medicines at the hospital, shortages of basic needs like toilet paper and even her friends being killed). Then a few years later she invited me to her wedding in Valencia and I literally jumped at the chance to travel. The memory of my visit to Venezuela still brings tears to my eyes. After the wedding I travelled around the country from Valencia to the paradise islands in Los Roques, the highest waterfall in the world- Salto Angel and even the jungles of the Orinoco Delta. (I should add at this point that I always had my clothes organised in packing cubes thanks to you!). But travelling alone through the country, it wasn’t the sights that make nostalgic, it’s the people. The friends I made who welcomed an English girl to their country. The families who welcomed me into their homes and didn’t ask for anything in return. The endless amount of hugs I got from strangers who were excited a tourist had visited their country and I couldn’t believe that they were so apologetic if their English wasn’t so good. The love in Venezuela is something I have never experienced before. The people are Venezuela and it is the people I miss the most. I ask my friends every year if I can go back and visit and every year they tell me the situation is getting worse. I can’t predict the country’s future but nobody deserves what they are going through. I pray for Venezuela and for the people. Thank you for making this video and wishing your family and friends safety, security, health and happiness. xxx

I will write this in Spanish...me da tanta pena lo que ha pasado por tanto tiempo en Venezuela y que se haya llegado a esto. Soy chilena y a acá han llegado miles de venezolanos buscando una vida mejor. Pero me consta que todos volverían a su pais, si allá hubiera esperanza de ...vivir! no pueden y tienen el corazón roto. Nuestro país los recibe, pero extrañan el mar caribeño, su tierra y su gente, Chile es distinto, el mar es frío, la gente es más sobria...La falta de Estado de Derecho en Venezuela me asombra y me da rabia, porque ninguna opción política justifica que en un país no hayan servicios basicos, que se encarcele a los opositores, que se niegue hasta que organizaciones internacionales opinen de lo que pasa. Pero a la vez se que van a salir de esto. Chile, después de casi 20 años, y desde 1982 incontables protestas, logró sacar al dictador Pinochet por medios democráticos. Costó, se sufrió y muchos murieron en ello, pero se pudo. Lo van a lograr, la Historia está tras ustedes! PD: durante la dictadura, Venezuela recibió a muchos exiliados chilenos. Cada vez que me encuentro con un venezolano aca, me acuerdo tanto del sufrimiento actual de ellos como de la generosidad que tuvo el país hacia nosotros en su momento. Espero de verdad que mis compatriotas piensen en eso al verlos y nos tratemos todos con empatía y respeto.

You make my day! Gracias por tus hermosas palabras Francisca. Ultimamente escucho cada vez más y más de personas allegadas o conocidas en Venezuela que decidieron irse a Chile, y a veces me preocupa o pienso en el hecho de que quizás los chilenos puedan sentirse "afectados o invadidos"pero hoy tus palabras me dan aliento, espero que como tu dices todos puedan respetarse y ponerse en los zapatos del otro, que mientras esten allá puedan trabajar en Pro de Chile y que cuando toda esta pesadilla finalice puedan volver a Venezuela con Chile en el corazón, como un lugar que los acogió con los brazos abiertos. Un abrazo para ti desde Sudafrica :)

de nada Jesica :) La verdad en Chile hemos estado pasando por una etapa de ajuste hacia una cantidad mucho mayor de inmigración a la que estabamos acostumbrados. Desde 2010 ha crecido muchisimo la inmigración desde otros países latinoamericanos (4,9% al año). La mayoría de la gente que conozco está, sea a favor de esta inmigración, o a lo menos no en contra, pero sí hay gente que no le gusta esto. Tienen las tipicas aprehensiones de que "quitan trabajo" o que "cambian la cultura", cosas que a mi me parecen falacias... además ¡me encanta que ahora hayan carritos de arepas en las calles de Santiago! jajaja. Y si, lamentablemente muchos son derechamente racistas (anteriormente no había casi gente de raza negra en Chile y ahora sí la hay, además de venezolanos han llegado muchos haitianos y dominicanos). Esta tensión ha traido problemas, pero yo soy optimista, pienso que en un tiempo nos vamos a ajustar a esta nueva realidad y los intolerantes van a quedarse de lado. Personalmente trabajé en asesoría jurídica gratuita a inmigrantes en situación irregular y también he conocido a varios venezolanos en el día a día. No soy prejuiciosa porque sé como llegan a este país, en qué condiciones y con qué motivos. Me consta que son personas trabajadoras y que, como escribí, se fueron del país con mucho dolor pero no les quedaba otra alternativa. Animo a uds también, lo que está pasando es de verdad terrible pero no hay como ganarle al peso de la historia, el régimen de Maduro va a acabar más temprano que tarde y el país va a poder reconstruirse y llegar a una reconciliación, asi como pasó acá. Saludos!

As someone from an ex-socialistic country I can very much relate how you feel. I am emmigrant as well, have been living in five different countries over the last years. Also because I love traveling and learning about different cultures but most of all because I wanted more from life and Slovakia even after 28 years didn't quite got on their foot again. My whole family is still living there and I think very often about ways how to give back. How to contribute and help. I wish your country all the best and thank you for sharing with us.

I ended up loving your videos and your charisma, so I decided to suscribe even though you haven't posted that much lately. Today, I came here excited to see what you were bringing and I get the very pleasant surprise that you're Venezuelan just like me! What are the odds? I think that's wonderfully amazing. Keep bringing amazing content. I know that everyone who's fighting back home against the corruption and the dictatorship that they're living in are on the right side of history.

Dear Sonia, I recently discovered your channel, thank you for your very useful and entertaining content on travel, really love and appreciate it and you are delightful to watch and learn from. Now this post is just so moving, thank you for your heartfelt account and bringing it HOME!! I had the honor of visiting Venezuela in 2011, at the time, it was already a "travel at your own risk" place to visit, but we had our heart set on visiting Los Roques, the most beautiful place I've ever been to (and also went to beautiful Choroni). I remember being afraid at the airport, sad to see mostly empty duty-free shelves, and stunned at no running wáter at the airport. The employees explaining how it had been that way that whole week (Easter week) with a blackout. I couldn't imagine it could get any worse. I pray for there to be change for the better soon. Your words help us spread the Word. Awareness is key to make change. Un fuerte abrazo de animo para tu gente, tu país, tu corazón. Anna Tulia

Sonia, I live in Manaus - Brazil, a city near Venezuela and we have been receiving many people from there looking for basic things that are missing in their country, as you said. They are currently living in a camp under a viaduct in groups. Most of them are natives and the majority is children and women. College students are raising awareness about the situation and running a campaign so civilians can donate food, clothes, water, medicine, etc. The political, economic and social situation of my country is bad, we are facing the worst crisis in our history, but we are doing our best to help. My prays are with Venezuela. We are stronger together!

Reality is an important thing. Keep sharing it. It's important to have direct contacts with people who know what's actually happening in a country. Gracias!

First, let me say that I am relieved that you and your family are okay. Secondly, thank you for announcing to your fans the current and ongoing strife in your native Venezuela. I have no doubt that the sun will reappear from behind the clouds of turmoil sooner rather than later.... Prayers & Best Wishes.....

Sonia querida, I share your pain and hope every day that Venezuela gets out of this horrible nightmare soon. All over Latin America we have Venezuela in our hearts and are eager to help however we can. Lots of love and be strong.

Welcome back. My heart sank the other day when a Venezuelan KZfaq user said that she/he has already lost many family members and friends due to this situation. I am sending you, your family, and the people of your country much love & peace.

Que linda muchacha... mi rsposa siempre esta pendiente de tu canal y cuando subsiste el video me dijo para que lo viera. Dios mediante Venezuela saldrá adelante y seremos libres de esta pesadilla que afecta nuestro país. Un abrazo bien apretado desde Calgary.

I have missed your videos. I think you have the best travel packing videos. I’m so sorry your country is going through this because of the presence of evil. Thank you for sharing this. Why is it not being shown in the news as much as other dumb celebrities are covered. Praying for you and your family, for their safety.

Hola Sonia. Me alegra tu regreso. Es increíble lo que está pasando en tu país y más increíble todavía que nadie intervenga. Ni siquiera el Papa! Ojalá pronto se calme la situación y ojalá no haya más muertos, que es lo más terrible. Mi solidaridad desde Argentina. Me imagino que no debe ser nada fácil para vos teniendo a tu familia ahí.

Thank you Sonia for bringing attention to what is happening in Venezuela right now. I was born in Nicaragua but have lived in Miami for most of my life and I can attest to the loveliness of the Venezuelan people. My best friend, whom I met in high school and love him like a brother, is from Venezuela and I've also gotten to know his family and friends over the years and they are good people, always very open and welcoming. It's always a pleasure to spend time with them. Therefore, it makes me sad to see what's happening in that beautiful country. And I pray that all the people around the world who are undergoing similar political and social turmoil, especially, the Venezuelan people, can find a peaceful solution where they can overcome their political differences and realize that they are all brothers, one people, Venezolanos, and that we can all work together to help rebuild their country. Sigan pa'lante siempre!!!

I certainly had no idea this was happening. Sadly, the US has a Presidency and its administrative office that has about 99% of the news media coverage. Yes, I'm in Canada but I'm from the US. Anyway, thank you for bringing this to our attention. I will take a look at your links too. Again, thank you and take care.

de venezolana a venezolana, muchas gracias, hermana. thank you for using your platform to bring awareness to our situation. yo todavía vivo acá y, aunque las cosas están peor, la gente se está dando cuenta de que ya es por supervivencia, no es sobre colores o partidos políticos; nos estamos muriendo y no hacíamos nada al respecto. la gente está despertando, y yo sólo espero que toditos los que quedan indecisos despierten lo más pronto posible para salir de esto de una sola vez. again, thank you, thank you, thank YOU! cariños xxx

Hi Sonia. I'm from Malaysia. Been watching your youtube channel since i was 12/13 years old, and now I am 23 years old. My 12 year old self would be mesmerised with your video hoping to travel using your tips. My 23 year old self will be happy to use your traveling tips now. I hope you are still doing well despite your last upload was 5 years ago :)
