"I cannot lead the process from abroad," Machado said. "It's time to go back."

She plans to travel throughout Venezuela, rebuilding her movement and preparing for the elections in which she intends to run.

Her return date is still unclear, but Machado says she is ready to enter Venezuela "by land, sea or air."
