Víctor Hugo Saavedra, has officially resigned to his job as correspondent of Univision network’s “Aquí y Ahora.”   He took a leave of absence earlier this year to travel the world.

“I started my travels on April 1st, going to Jordan, Israel, Egypt and Southeast Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda,” he wrote from Mozambique. He says his next stops are Malawi, Zambia, Botswana and South Africa.

“I had personal reasons to do this trip now, while I’m young and have the energy,” he says. “I resigned from Univision.  Let’s see what happens when I return home in April of next year.”

Víctor Hugo had been with Univision for 17 years.
