Synopsis

“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” – Saint Augustine As a born and raised Venezuelan, I was always surrounded by natural beauty, color, mesmerizing views. However, as a little kid I did not appreciate the breath taking quality of the landscapes I would run into, at least not enough. I felt, somehow, apathetic and unaffected, to the point where I even considered moving to a different continent. When I grew older, I had the opportunity to travel my country from north to south, east to west, an eye opening experience that would change the way I saw Venezuela forever. I swam in the crystalline waters of Los Roques, I played with the snow at the top of the Pico Bolívar, I contemplated the majestic beauty of Canaima. All these places had a profound impact on my life, inflicting a desire to speak up for my nation, to build a stronger pride for my home. I used to think that flying around the world would allow me to show some gratitude for the people I got to know and the lands I explored during my childhood. To my surprise, I didn’t have to leave to find my voice; I didn’t need to spend months away from our national treasures or to miss my loved ones to regain inspiration. This book is an open invitation you won’t be able to refuse, 50 reasons to meet my biggest muse to date: Venezuela. Let me guide you through paradise in these pages.
