«I think that after 11 years it is time to return»

We do not stop traveling with our weekly protagonists. Hand in hand with our section Xabier @ s around the world We move today to Los Angeles, California, where Rosa Mayans Zaragozí is waiting for us. This young Xabi came to the United States and specifically to Los Angeles in February of 2005 because she wanted to know this city and with the purpose of learning English. An experience with the intention to live a season outside of Spain and return, "But time has been lengthening, when I arrived here everything was new to me and one year it seemed little to me and then you already know people and one thing leads to another and the years go by"says Rosa.

"In 2014, nine years after living in Los Angeles, I went back to Jávea and I was 2 years ago, but I decided to come back in the 2016 for almost 13 years ago that I left although it is 11 that I am living here"He explains xabiera.

Mayans expresses their American coexistence as something unique, although there is always nostalgia, "Coming to me was the best thing I have ever done, the experiences I have lived here are unique and I have no regrets at all for having come, but now it is time to return to my house and enjoy my family. Like my house, nothing, that is what I have it clear".

But Rosa has made the most of her stay in the USA, "Although I have only lived in Los Angeles, I have been to several cities in the US and have worked on different things, life here is very different, there are opportunities for everything."

Our girl from today says that the city where she lives has her good part and bad part, "Los Angeles is a city where you meet people from all over the world, there are opportunities for everything, you can study whenever you want, tomorrow, afternoon, night, weekends, it doesn't matter… it has many positive things, there is always something to do, concerts , events, premieres and let's not forget the weather ... all year in short sleeves, it's the best weather in the world. "

Regarding the negative side, Rosa Mayans says that "Los Angeles is a very dangerous city, for example, from Xàbia, when we see 50 police cars going to arrest a man with helicopters around his house or you see people from the Sheriff, fully equipped with their guns and bulletproof vests in the Subway entrance we can think that they are exaggerated, but the truth, when you live here you realize that nothing exaggerated, if they were not so, this would be the jungle. "

Currently, Rosa is the production coordinator of a music program for a television channel where she worked eight years ago. La xabiera is responsible for the management of trips and stays of all the famous people who come to the program as well as the organization of production outside the set.

Without a doubt, Mayans has lived unforgettable moments, "A few weeks ago I worked for the awards ceremony at the Dolby Theather, where they perform the Oscars gala, and it was a unique experience". In addition, Rosa can say that she has had in her hands a statuette of the Oscars, "A few years ago I worked for a woman and her grandfather was a music composer and won three Oscars."

But, even being far from home there are always coincidences, "Although I have not agreed with more xabieros except for those who have come to see me, I did meet a Pego man who has a well-known restaurant here in Los Angeles and who had also worked in Jávea for some 25 years."

And as for his definitive return to Xàbia, he is clear about it, "I love being here but I miss many things and especially my family so I will definitely return to Xàbia sooner rather than later".
