Mariana Elias, 27, and her friends gather for a goodbye party at her house in Caracas, Venezuela, January 12, 2019. Before moving to Barcelona in January, Elias spent years in Caracas doing two degrees in chemical and production engineering. Her reason for moving to Barcelona was straightforward: "My job ambitions. As I really prepared myself academically, I wanted to have the opportunity in the long-term to progress and upgrade. I wasn't able to see that in Venezuela right now." REUTERS/Ana Maria Arevalo Gosen SEARCH "AREVALO SPAIN" FOR THIS STORY. SEARCH "WIDER IMAGE" FOR ALL STORIES.
