I'm sure many readers might like to hear my opinions on the Venezuelan crisis. My opinions are very strong on this subject, but I still think it best that I don't share my opinions at all. I did spend 3 years in Venezuela and struggled with the economic crisis on a personal and professional level, but my frustrations and difficulties are nothing compared to what the people are going through now. As long as there is a chance that I can visit Venezuela in the future, I will refrain from sharing my views publicly on this topic.
Those of you who know me personally have asked me about it, and this is the best way to share about it (in person). I know many of you will never meet me, in which case I encourage you to check out the blogs of native Venezuelans (unfortunately I do not have one to recommend at the moment, but I'm sure there are hundreds!).
I also read the local newspapers from Venezuela (in Spanish) to get a more clear idea of what information is most current and accurate in the situation. El Carabobeno is excellent if you are a Spanish speaker, and Reuters is a great place to start if you are an English-speaker.
Que vive Venezuela! (Long live Venezuela!)
