I moved from Venezuela to the US two years ago.
I miss Venezuela a lot, but the US has taught me many valuable lessons.
Moving to Vermont made me appreciate the changing of the seasons in a way I hadn't before.

As an immigrant who moved from Venezuela to the US less than two years ago, longing has become a constant part of my daily life. After college, I had to leave my country for personal reasons, not to mention the political and economic instability there.
