To migrate is to enter into a plot of new meaning that unfortunately in many cases as is shown globally can be openly hostile. The presentation of the self in an initial strange daily life constitutes a challenge that requires an astute calibration of the performance and the public expressions used. The objective of the following article is to explore the constitution of Venezuelan love through a qualitative methodology and a microsociological approach. It begins with an approach to culture with a view to understanding customs and traditions. The fundamental location of the inquiry, the daily circumstance, is addressed. Next, love is introduced as the exemplary theme to be treated based on the current reality of the Venezuelan emigrant. Subsequently, the constitution of the Venezuelan love is analyzed through thirteen interviews with nationals who have been outside the country for at least three years. It is concluded that Venezuelan love is expressed in four related categories: idealization, courtship, chivalry and service. The migratory circumstance presents an opportunity to expand and weigh the roles that were thoughtlessly followed in the country of origin. Although talking about love is about the relationship of couples, there is also a very interesting link to the gentile: The Venezuelan realizes outside his homeland how loving his way of being is.
