On a plot of land between the ‘José Antonio Anzoátegui’ International Airport, an important tourist complex and Jose’s cryogenic plant, there is a village called Las Bateas de Maurica, known to all as ‘La ciudad de los Mochos’ [TN].

I was born in Caracas but I am oriental at heart. I have an associate degree in graphic design and I am currently working as a graphic reporter for El Tiempo and as a visual designer for the Marinos de Anzoátegui organization.
