Hi, how are you? My name's José Zapata from Maturín, Venezuela. Good question, in general Venezuela is not safe but it's not so dangerous, concerning Anaco, I can tell you that it's not safe at all, besides it's very expensive, it is one of the most expensive cities in Venezuela, I can tell you this because I have friends who live there, and especially I have one who left Anaco to study in Maturín, now he works here. I recommend that you ask for other places, such as Maturín, for instance, here in Maturín, there is an academy of languages who loves hiring English native speakers, so I think you can find a job here, the academy is "Wall Street Institute" but the local one, that is, Maturín, Maturín is better than Anaco, concerning safety. Now, about political problems, no, it won't affect you at all, they are just rumors!! So I invite you to visit Venezuela, hey if you want to contact me, I'll leave you here my phone number
