You're a year late. Many things have changed. Go back for a re-do

Thx

Pobre gringo… lo fueron a perder en villanueva jajajaja…. Quedó sonso y bien maje

i wanna buy a flat and moving a few months of the year in El Salvador. what scary me is if Bukele won't be president anymore after 5 yrs

Expat = gentrified

Stop calling yourselves "expats" you're immigrants, is that term offensive ?

lets try to support the people selling at the mercados. these big companies/corporations only rob the community.

I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

I’m from El Salvador I’m very wonderfully that you visiting my country thank you blessing for you guys. Tankyou AGAIN

Your pronunciation is atrocious. You’ll always overpay if you keep shopping at box stores, the Mercado is the place to be. It’s rude to film in public places in Guatemala, your ignorance of the culture and common sense in the country is really lacking… you live there sand you make these mistakes… sad. Stay in Guatemala City, don’t come to my state.

Gen. I live in U.S.A. and for that big bag of sugar for $11 dollares I buy it here in U.S.A. Walmart for $7 dollares the small bag. You coming from U.S.A. You should know prices are way cheaper in Guatemala vs U.S.A. I dont know if you video is about Mexico vs Guatemala or Centro America but still Guatemala has great prices vs U.S.A. Now at the end you comment about the local markets that of course is way cheaper but been said that no grouch to you it was just friendly opinion. Hope you are having fun in Guatemala.

For all the gringos who can read me, I am Salvadoran and I left my country in the 80's, not because I wanted to but because of the bad governments, I arrived in the legal U.S. and learned from their culture, no one welcomed me with open arms but they did teach me to be a better person. I will always be grateful to the gringo people, I never naturalized because I did not think I would leave the U.S. but Nayid Bukele has given us back our dignity and now we will return to make EL SALVADOR a great country. Here all the good ones will be welcome

Seems El Salvador is the new Cosat Rica;for expats. How is cost of living in El Salvador;compared to Guatemala ? which is safer El Salvador,or Guatemala ?

To be honest, it seems more like a scam to me to produce a fake document for travel. If I were a visa officer, I would already know this and would check further with the airline to validate if the ticket is legitimate.

That's a beautiful city

no, you cant, if you are american please stay in the US or skip El Salvador

I really like Granada and Leon,never felt unsafe in Nicaragua. Great video 👍👍

Que aburido este.....

What a worthless video.... Mercados are for the lower class people in Latin American countries. It ia not worth the time for how little you save unless you live very close to one. Usted es muy pendejo!

The park is named in honor of Gen. Omar Torrijos, who negotiated the canal treaties, who also lived in the area up to the time of his death. It is many times safer than walking through parks in Los Angeles and other major US cities, not taken over by drug addicts or mentally ill.

I’ve been considering this, but I’m worried about the sanctions. I’m a mining engineer, and I’m worried if I work in the industry I’ll face problems back home.

El Salvador should share Bukele with other countries. Haiti needs him right now!

Exelente video 👍 🇬🇹👏muy entretenido..🫡🫡🙋🏻🙋🏻

1 libra de papas cuesta 1 Doller y esto es no en el supermercado. Si hay cosas en super mucho mas caro y cosas de productos lactios es carisimo. Soy de Alemania y haora en Alemania los precios son tan altos..No se donde va ir todo ésto.

La vida es cara aqui en Guatemala.

Please dont come to gentrify even more this small country, housing is gettin really expensive in El Salvador, mainly because there are around 2 million salvadorans or salvadoran descents living outside the country (specially in the US) that are buying properties in El Salvador. If we add froreging looking for a cheaper life, that is making imposible for locals to buy homes, real state agents and speculators will rip you off selling you a property for the double of the price it was 2-3 years ago... its an unsustainable bubbele.

👍

Always You are..welcome to.my wonderful country .Guatemala ..

Amazing video Eric! Thank you so much for coming out and visiting us and putting this all together. Great stuff.

I caught an old corroded and covered with soot 737 out of Oakland California in 2013... on a one way ticket to Guatemala city and retirement visa papers in hand. Been here ever since. .. . in the area ever since, spend a few years on Lake Atitan as well that was the best I had ebikes. once you get to know the ropes you can find a decent small apartment for $100 or so. that would be $250 or $350 in Antigua. The streets are ROUGH stone in Antigua and you can injure your back if you are not careful riding in a tuc tuc...I hang onto the overhead rail when in a tuc tuc and keep my butt off of the seat when I see a bump coming... thats crucial, Guatemala city an hour or so away is a modern metropolis in many aspects with a few huge 4 story malls that exceed anything Ive seen in the US with glass elevators and huge dramatically lit atriums with water falls and trees in them.... its bustling unlike most US cities these days.... no homeless in sight....you can rent a one room place with a dirt floor for $50 a month and share it with a few others. The dental and medical by my experience is most likely better than in the US at 1/8th cost. I am an 83 yo man with a lot of experience along those lines....you can get by not speaking spanish by hand waiving or worse case using google translate on your smart phone. wifi is $25/mo and as good as anywhere in the US....If I needed to cut my cost of living to $300 month I would move to a remote Mayan village... .... that would be a tin roof, dirt floor, one light bulb place but with good wifi. if you are a digital nomad like myself. I rent a 3 story 5 br 5 bath tile floor home near antigua for $500/mo. good neighborhood, small shops with vegetables and some meat half a block away... brick paved lighted main street. A car or bike is nice but not required local transport tuc tucs and taxis are affordable and work well. The weather hovers close to 72F most of the time...summer can reach 80F..at times, winter drops to a teeth chatteriing 65F or so... somehow we survive though. Humidity 50%

Why tf do Americans choose to call themselves “expats”? You’re an immigrant just like everybody else

Please do not ruin my city ,because is already expensive and wil be even more.

Welcome to Honduras, let's get one thing straight. If we are immigrants in your countries you are no xpat in our countries. Immigrants that what you are, enjoy Honduras, stay safe.

Video good. Comparison ok. Your shirt at the beginning is ugly.

It depends

Boring.

I did not expect a video about Arequipa on my feed lol

This was my experience in Antigua and most tourist destinations, the locals tend to greet you, it's the tourist who are jerks. Why go to another country to be a jerk, be a jerk in your own country 1st world country.

Esto apesta a gentrificacion 😶‍🌫️

¡Buena explicación! Vivo en Arequipa desde hace unos años, y estoy bastante de acuerdo con tus pros y contras. Personalmente no recomendaría del todo vivir aquí por lo agotadora que es la ciudad y el tráfico, pero sí siento que es una opción viable dentro de Perú por los precios accesibles y el clima templado. Saludos 👍

I'm from Arequipa. I must say I never get bored of looking at the volcanoes. If you want to find daily restaurants with other entry than soups, you have to pay more than $2.50. The last earthquake here was in 2001, and the rest were just minor ones, we call them 'temblores'. We joke ourselves that if you are a true Arequipeño, you can only feel the ones above 5.0 in the Richter scale. The real cons I feel here are the air contamination, caused by the old buses and vans. And the auditive contamination by the same source and some businesses that use big speakers to promote their deals. Something that our mediocre politics can't regulate. Also we need more trees, for sure, since our local farms are being erradicated to build apartments, specially in Cerro Colorado.

This place looks amazing .I don't see too many tourist or expats there. I bet you can get good deals on some rental properties or if you are buying due to the low number of expats that have not driven prices up yet .I think I could live here.

I can't say if any other city of Perú is the same but i expect all of them to have some level of polution that is unnoticeable for the sole reason you can see a clear sky unlike some days in Lima which is a very poluted city and the average cost of living for a foreigner is pretty cheap, it's not greatly expensive for locals but it certainly needs more investment than someone who earns money in dollars if you're coming from outside the country, the streets are usually dirty and clean at the same time because it's dirty as there's a lot of dust and litter anywhere with probable exception of private buildings but it's clean enough that you won't encounter weird things as condoms, drug needles, shit and if it happens it's very rarely but that's a culture thing because i will often see people at night trying to piss on poles or corners if they want to (drunk or not) and throw trash at a non-designed corner where it accumulates and stinks a lot, it's not something you see everywhere but if you walk around enough you'll find one, the streets could use some repairments or a renovation as a whole but as we locals know every authority is mildly corrupt and uses money for overpriced resources or do "maintenment" of the streets and sewers but it leaves it all the same then it erodes quickly and then destroys it and renew it again and only does it in main streets where anyone can see it as if "it's alright, we're doing something" but everyone knows there's A LOT of places that needs that money from the tax payers, streets that doesn't even have a road, it's insane. Street safety is often normal, nothing will happen in the day and you're mostly safe at night but there's streets that locals know where you shouldn't go at very late hours at night, it's not a 100% but it's probable, also Lima is probably the city with the most amount of crime than any other, most of the other cities are a safe haven in comparison, Tacna for example at the very south of Perú is a very little and chill city, there's enough to make a living and make a family but not enough if you're looking for more, like more bars, more stuff to buy, more kind of things that usually needs a courier but if that calm kind of city is what you want i think any city in Perú will do, even Lima but for the latter you need specific places to stay, not every place is good or safe enough

Just a tip for your spanish accent, pronunciation of words with double RR in it as Cerro it's like the R from responsible, resource or remedy, a hard R one would say lmao

Good stuff

I thank you for showing us the countries on my list and what interests me, it’s a small world after all

Soy de California pero vivo en Quillabamba.

They are not moving to El Salvador only. Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Nicaragua & Panamá are receiving probably higher number of people from the USA to retire there.

Costa Rica looks great!

America starts in chile and ends in Canada. You are fron the United States ( OF )America
