From Venezuela to Minnesota: Nurturing Nature and Inspiration Through the Immigrant Experience with @perez.la.cruz.⁠⁠Juan shares his story by intertwining the city of Maracaibo in Venezuela, specifically in the warm state of Zulia. The city, known as the “Beloved City of the Sun,” embraces its motto through its warm year-round climate. Since moving to Minnesota, Juan writes, "from an urban planning perspective, I found it very interesting how the snow, while causing certain mobility challenges in the city, created a new terrain to explore. Being able to walk in the middle of a lake on this ephemeral surface that renews itself every year is a sensory experience. This novel approach for me allowed me to explore and take walks in spaces that exist for only a few months each year." ️⁠⁠ Click the link in bio to read Juan's full story. ⁠⁠⁠ — from Instagram
