Raquel Sans explains the marital crisis she experienced when she was a correspondent in Washington

BarcelonaThe journalist Raquel Sans, who currently presents the TN afternoon From Friday to Sunday, he explained in a podcast interview The perverse round Sans explains that her time as TV3's Washington correspondent had consequences for her family life and caused a minor marital crisis. She recounts that it was a professional opportunity she had long desired and that, although it didn't come at the best time, she decided to accept the Washington correspondent position because "I didn't know if the opportunity would pass me by." "The first time I applied to be a correspondent, I was single and unattached. Fifteen years later, when they offered it to me, I had practically just given birth to my second child and was married and committed. The change was drastic. I asked every new news director to be a correspondent, but there was no way. They wouldn't let me leave the studio," she details. With her children still very young—they were one and two and a half years old—Sans initially went to the United States alone, and it wasn't until several months later that the children moved in with her. Meanwhile, the journalist's husband stayed in Barcelona "because he was trying to save the company during the economic crisis." Sans explains that her husband visited her in the United States once a month, or every six weeks, and that, therefore, they maintained a long-distance relationship for quite some time. When the podcast host, David Balaguer, asks her if this situation caused any crisis, she replies: "Who doesn't hit rock bottom from time to time? And with a situation like that, it wasn't easy, but we managed to weather it despite the difficulties." The journalist affirms that without the support of the nannies who cared for her children—one Catalan and one Venezuelan—she wouldn't have been able to travel alone in the United States with them. She also confesses that, although she returned from Washington almost a decade ago, she still misses the city and feels a connection to it. During the podcast conversation, Sans also shares that one of the most difficult experiences of her life was the death of her father, which happened when she was a teenager. "At fifteen, it's very difficult to process that your father dies at home and that you couldn't do anything," the journalist says. She also explains that one of the most difficult moments of the whole situation was telling her sister, who was on an exchange program in Ireland at the time, that her father had died. "Between this [my father's death] and the birth of my children, anything related to the death of people affects me more than before. When we sometimes have to report on wars and children are involved, it's a type of information that's harder for me to handle. Before having children, this didn't happen to me. I had once told X on set..." «You take up this story because I won't be able to.»"he explains.
