Thirteen years ago I left my country forever and came to this great continent. Since then, I haven’t had a single reason to doubt that decision. This was the best thing I could have possibly done and it has made me very happy on many levels.
For reasons I find hard to understand, I never felt at home in my own country. Everything seemed weird, confusing and incomprehensible. When I first got off the airplane in Toronto on July 4th, 1998, though, I immediately knew that I was in a place that suited me perfectly. This is the best continent to be a Hispanist, a feminist, a reader, a scholar, and, obviously, a blogger.
Thank you, North Americans, for making me feel more welcome here than I ever did in the country of my birth!
