Hello, beautiful Hive community
We are Luis Alberto Muñoz (56), Auramar Susik Pino de Muñoz (36), our daughter Michelle Alejandra (12), and our little prince, Alan Alberto (7).
Together, we form the Muñoz Pino family, a home built on love, migration, resilience, hugs, stumbles, miracles, and many new dawns.
Today, we open this space to introduce ourselves, share who we are, and tell you OUR STORY.
Our Story: A Journey That Began 6 Years Ago
We are a Venezuelan family, born in Cumaná, Sucre State, in northeastern Venezuela.
Six years ago, we made one of the most difficult and courageous decisions of our lives: to emigrate.
Our journey began by leaving our homeland, and it took us first to Maracaibo, in western Venezuela. We were only going for a few days… but life had other plans.
The pandemic arrived, and like many families in Latin America, we were stranded there, amidst uncertainty, silence, and hope. That was the first chapter of a journey that not only moved us from one city to another, but also changed us deeply.
Our Experience as Migrants: We decided that in this blog we would share everything:
✨ The initial doubts.
✨ The nights when we didn't know what would happen.
✨ The makeshift jobs.
✨ The successes and failures.
✨ The moments when faith was stronger than fear.
✨ The small victories that only a migrant knows.
✨ The joy of seeing our children adapt.
✨ The silent effort behind every step.
And also, most importantly:
how we were reborn in Colombia, how we rebuilt ourselves, and how we found new opportunities from scratch.
Colombia opened its doors to us and allowed us to create a home full of life, hope, and opportunities.
Today we are grateful for every sunrise here.

What we want to share in this blog
This space will be an honest and personal window into our lives, where we'll talk about:
🌱 Our migration from day one
🌱 Our careers, professions, and work experiences
🌱 Successes and setbacks that helped us grow
🌱 What worked and what didn't
🌱 Life in Colombia from the inside
🌱 Being a dad, mom, husband, wife, son, and daughter far from home
🌱 The spirituality that sustains us
🌱 Everyday life: walking, dreaming about a bike, going to the mall, watching a sunset, having coffee together, discussing a book, watching movies as a family, talking about the day, laughing at our own mishaps, our hobbies, ideas, goals, and dreams, our children and their perspective on the world, our goals, horizons, and the future we're building step by step. We want this blog to be a portrait of real life:
not perfect, not edited… but authentic, human, and full of hope.
Este espacio será una ventana honesta y familiar, donde hablaremos de:
🌱 Nuestra migración desde el primer día
🌱 Nuestras carreras, profesiones y aprendizajes laborales
🌱 Aciertos y tropiezos que nos enseñaron a crecer
🌱 Lo que nos funcionó y lo que no
🌱 La vida en Colombia desde adentro
🌱 Ser papá, mamá, esposo, esposa, hijo e hija lejos de casa
🌱 La espiritualidad que nos sostiene
🌱 La vida cotidiana: caminar, soñar con una bicicleta, ir al centro comercial, ver un atardecer, tomar cafecito juntos, analizar un libro, ver películas en familia, conversar sobre el día, reírnos de nuestros propios enredos, Nuestros hobbies, ideas, metas y anhelos, Nuestros hijos y su forma de ver el mundo, Nuestras metas, horizontes y ese futuro que estamos construyendo paso a paso
Queremos que este blog sea un retrato de la vida real:
ni perfecta, ni editada… sino auténtica, humana y llena de esperanza.
🌞 Why did we open this space?
Because migrating isn't just about moving to another country.
Migrating is about transformation.
It's about learning, letting go, being reborn, and believing again.
And we feel that our experiences, our laughter, our wounds, and our lessons learned can become a light for other migrants, other families, and other people who are also seeking a new dawn.
✨Thank you, Hive, for welcoming us
We are happy to be part of this community.
This blog is our digital home, and we want to fill it with stories, reflections, growth, and humanity.
We are the Muñoz Pino family.
This is our journey.
And today our New Dawn begins on Hive. 🌅✨
Hi @albertomunoz1108 welcome to Hive. I'm @palomap3 from Lovesniper OCD team.

Sí, somos una familia de migrantes y sentimos que tenemos mucho que aportar desde nuestra experiencia vivencial. Nuestro proceso migratorio ha sido largo, incluso estando en un país vecino de Venezuela. Parte de ese recorrido se alargó porque, durante la pandemia, quedamos estancados en un mismo lugar por casi dos años. Fue un proceso profundo, retador y muy transformador.
Llegamos a Hive gracias a la invitación de nuestra hija mayor, @carolinawnn, y de su pareja, @davidjesuscd . En aquel momento no pudimos aceptar la invitación porque no contábamos con una computadora, lo cual hacía imposible participar activamente en las comunidades y dinámicas de la plataforma. Hoy, gracias a Dios, ya contamos con esa herramienta y decidimos dar el paso y aceptar esa invitación que nos hicieron con tanto amor.
En lo personal, me ha tocado comenzar de cero después de haber tenido estabilidad. Ha sido un proceso de mucho aprendizaje. Nuestros hijos, sin duda, han sido un orgullo, pero sobre todo han sido grandes maestros para nosotros.
Soy ingeniero en procesos industriales y durante gran parte de mi vida me he dedicado a resolver problemas técnicos en distintos campos. Sin embargo, a raíz de la migración y la pandemia, la vida me llevó a resolver problemas de todo tipo: desde una lavadora hasta un televisor. Esa capacidad de adaptación también forma parte de nuestra historia.
Mi esposa, Auramar Pino, es actualmente coach internacional en Amor propio, certificada aquí en Colombia, y también tiene un camino muy bonito que desea compartir con las comunidades.
Siempre hablaremos desde el nosotros, no solo desde el “yo”, porque nos consideramos un equipo. Nuestros hijos también quieren participar, compartir y expresarse, y por eso estamos organizando con cariño las historias, experiencias y aprendizajes que deseamos compartir con ustedes.
Gracias nuevamente por la bienvenida.
Nos estaremos leyendo, conectando e interactuando muy pronto.
Un saludo y bendiciones ✨
