“A year and eight months have passed today. A year following leaving I bought the tickets to go as a surprise. By that time, it had been a year and two months since I had seen them, the reunion had seemed eternal. I bought the ticket in November 2022 to travel on February 10, 2023 and stay until March 10, that is, one month. Such an important day was approaching that I needed to share it even with a family member so that they might pick me up at the airport and plan the big surprise with me. That person was my beloved brother-in-law, Sebastián, who was in all the details so that this reunion takes place in the best possible way and is completely unforgettable, ”he introduced.

On the other hand, he explained that Sebastián was the one who brought his entire family together in the house with the excuse of showing them the new vehicle that he had bought days ago. “It was the perfect idea. He took advantage of the situation and summoned everyone around 6:00 p.m., to give time to those who were leaving work. Once there, I went over with my partner and Sebastián’s mother (who was recording the video) and we waited around the corner for Sebastián to give us the ‘ok’ to show up. That ‘ok’ depended on everyone being on the street and paying attention. That was when I appeared and the reactions of each one can be clearly seen in the video, it is something incredible that I will never erase from my memory, ”she indicated.

It was an unforgettable moment, incredible and full of love.”
Regarding his present, he commented that he is in Barcelona and will continue there with great expectations: “I have plans and a great desire to continue touring countries and getting to know different cultures with my partner, whom I met in Barcelona 10 months ago and who also accompanied my trip in Argentina.
