Book #2
Anabell, Andes & Atlantic
Anabell, a young Venezuelan woman, embarks on a journey that will transform her life forever. Leaving behind the familiar warmth of her homeland, she travels first to Chile, where the towering Andes become both a backdrop and a metaphor for the challenges she faces in adapting to a new culture. As she navigates the nuances of life as a migrant in Latin America, Anabell discovers that despite sharing a common language and heritage, the cultural divides between Venezuelans and Chileans run deeper than expected. Her journey doesn’t stop there. With the Atlantic Ocean as her next great crossing, Anabell heads to Portugal, where a completely different world awaits. In this new land, she must balance the pride of her roots with the need to embrace change, finding herself caught between the familiarity of Latin America and the mysteries of Europe. “Anabell, Andes and Atlantic” is a story of migration, resilience, and the delicate dance between holding on to one’s identity while learning to grow beyond it

Book #4
Not just an animal, but my life guide
How a foreigner dog helped a migrant to overcome her fear of going outside.
Manyoma was his name and he had European documents. While someone called me “sin papeles” (non papers). He came from Melilla and I came from Bolivia. We didn’t understand this new city with so many rules, but we loved to go outside. I was afraid of the streets because I was shy and he was brave. He had the courage but I had the voice. Because of him, I had to develop many skills.
Come in and discover how a “small” dog influenced in three aspects of my migratory journey: self- esteem, adaptation and even work. Because when you feel alone, dog company must be welcome.
