Amigos, sé que el gobierno está haciendo un gran trabajo para mejorar las cosas de lo que solían ser, ¡y esto es exactamente lo que muestro y digo dentro de mi video! Este título solo pretende despertar la curiosidad de las personas que no siguen las noticias recientes de El Salvador y aún creen en los estereotipos. ¡La gente se dispara por el drama y las noticias negativas! Quiero que hagan clic en el video y, con suerte, a través del contexto puedan ver la realidad que no coincide con los estereotipos y si puedo cambiar la perspectiva de un hombre negativo sobre El Salvador, sería la victoria definitiva para mí.
PLEASE IT'S TIME YOU CHANGE THAT TITLE, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IF I SAID THE SAME ABOUT GREEK WHEN IT'S NOT TRUE. AND I DON'T CARE IF IT'S TO GET THE ATTENTION OF THE VIEWERS YOU CAN RENAME IT LIKE "SAN SALVADOR, THE SAFEST CAPITAL OF THE REGION"
@@theATkid El Salvador actually turned around a lot with the new president and he claims in the next couple years it will be the safest country in all the Americas
You've got my respect. As a Salvadoran myself I didn't give a shit when I went back. I did similar stuff you did and if something happened so be it. But being a foreigner that's another level
Haha I love Reggaeton bro - and the God of Perreo is protecting my footsteps in every barrio I go!! Thanks for your comment man! Means a lot - and yea the people in San Salvador so far are super helpful and kind with me! Can’t thank them enough 🙏🏼🔥
Your country is on the cutting edge, of real world change. This leader gets it. I pray for him and your country every day, because you are the beginning of the end of this disempowering globalist nightmare. Bitcoin. It isn’t crypto, it’s the anti-elitist.
I love how Pink Floyd is blasting inside the mercado lmao, every Salvadoran I’ve meet has been extremely friendly & down to earth. One day I’ll visit! Great video
@@matheus_akio All my salvadorian family loves Pink Floyd, Guns N’ Roses, the scorpions , and so many other good rock bands. My mom used to clean the house on Sundays and we would always listen to classic rock, Marco Antonio Solis, Leo Dan, Marc Anthony, etc…. During Semana Santa, little towns in El Salvador gather people from the town and put them on a bus for yearly excursions and they blast random ass bands and love songs on the bus. Good times. I thought my parents liked this music because they heard it in the U.S. but apparently they play it in El Salvador too.
🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️🔥!! Latinos deserve so much more attention from the media!! They are one of the most easy going smiley and generous people in the world and the first thing we all here in europe about u - is narco drugs and murders!! Nothing else and it’s completely unfair because europe and usa is so dangerous as well!! But u only hear the good things for us !! 🙏🏼🇸🇻🙏🏼
I went 7 times to El Salvador from 2008-2013 for work spending weeks at a time. Always a pleasant experience. Salvadorians are nice hard working people. The beaches, volcanos and nightlife are amazing. Like anywhere in the world, US, Europa Asia, just be smart and you will be fine. Love your content Timmy
Amazing content! Always good to keep in mind though that what's safe for you isn't necessarily safe for a good deal of tourists. You're confident, charismatic, and you always appear to be 100% aware and in control. Your personality, appearance, and camera help you avoid a lot of potential issues.
Thanks a lot brother!! I really appreciate it you for this comment!! You motivate me to keep creating videos honestly 🔥🙏🏼!! I hope you can have great time as well man- wherever you choose to go! Keep asking the locals for anything u need - be curious- smile 😀 and the world and opportunities for great moments will come to you naturally 🔥🙏🏼!! Thanks again🙃
one of the best travel bloggers i have found on youtube. thank you amigo for the video. you deep dive into their culture and experience the people and the place. very entertaining to watch my friend!
Timmy, I am happy to tell you that we aren't any longer the murder capital like you said: A lot has change since the new administration took over. El Salvador: homicide rate 2014-2021 Published by Teresa Romero, Feb 15, 2022 In 2021, there were approximately 18 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants in El Salvador. Since 2015, when it stood at 103, the murder rate has been dropping annually in this Central American country. Currently, El Salvador has a lower homicide rate than countries like Honduras, Mexico and Colombia. I am glad nothing happened to you, be careful. Pupusas are arooud!
Thanks a lot for the informations Mario!! Im super happy as well brother!! I knew it but I m using this title in order to make the ignorant people to click and try to change their perspective after watching that video 🔥🇸🇻🙏🏼
no, my friend.. don't compare your country with Mexico, here to begin with, there is a high level of institutionality in all the states, even in those with high indices.. that means as simple as day-to-day is very safe.. 90 percent of the homicides are among criminals... unlike what happens in the common law... also, the homicide rate is much lower than in El Salvador
"Solo in the murder capital of the world"?? Comedown gangsta!! That was many years ago. The Bukele el salvador will be the next costa rica. We get enough negative publicity from the media around the world. Change the damn tittle.
Jajajaja estúpido comentario de gente ignorante que en pleno siglo xxi aún adora e idolatra a seres humanos como ese presidente incapaz, que ha pactado con delincuentes y económicamente se está acabando al pais.
Watch the whole video or at least the last 5 minutes 🙄!! Im haha 1000% with u and I agree 1000%, but the media are usually saying only exactly what i use as a title and people that are used to these news - they will never believe or click a positive title- im giving them what they are used to consume in order to click and then hopefully through the whole video they might understand what is really happening and might be less negative against Centro America countries. U have all the rights to be against my title cause u know the truth my friend- but I wanna the people who like drama and danger to click and change their perspectives - not totally- but even if i do it a lill bit - its a success for me.
El Salvador is getting better. With the plan territorial, the country is going on the right direction. Thank you Tim for your videos. I am new to your channel. Please go to Metapan, El Salvador. It’s in the department of Santa Ana. A nice colonial town with lots of history.
Bitcoin, is brilliant. What a forward thinking leader, and future for all people. Crypto and government controlled digital currency is the enemy, Bitcoin is the exact opposite; it can be used peer to peer, bought and sold, as long as you use a cold storage wallet, and your own keys, without any third party (I.e. and exchange) bisq is open source software. Crypto is completely centralized (thus the collapse of ftx). Bitcoin is owned by no one. It is the key to real power, for the impoverished of the world, the truly disenfranchised, the middle class and everyone these globalist nutcases are trying so hard to crush. Farmers, working class, people have a fighting chance with Bitcoin. Viva El Salvador🎉
El salvador is far more dangerous then the US . Ive traveled to dangerous areas in the US nothing has happened to me lol been to st.louis and Chicago and more . Lots of rude people but thats common in urban areas even in mexican cities ive traveled to tbh.
No es tanto q se la puedan quitar la cámara. Sólo si de mala suerte encuentras un ladrón . Pero no es tanto como dicen algunos . Sólo hay q tener un poco de cuidado.
Wow, as a traveling missionary I was at this big square with the church and the building with the big collars and statues way back in 1995. It brings back a lot of old memories. It was safe then too.
I just want to say I really enjoy your videos you are an inspiration to a single man who wants to explore the world you are brave and treat people very well. Hope one day we cross paths my friend… jd
Watching this brings back some bad memories, yet this video is great time capsule, it shows just a little bit of the last days the gangs were in control of the country, it shows the bad conditions of the streets (most of them still are, the goverment is doing an amazing job at the restoration of centro historico and it's expansion tho). That area of the mercado was super full of gangs, there are stories of people being dragged and taken to buildings nearby to be dissapeared. You're truly a corageous man, salutes to you and all greek people 🇸🇻🇬🇷
I went to San Salvador back in 1997, at age 18 in the US Navy, Seabees. It was a short training mission, but a very impacting visit. I bathed with a bucket for 2 mos. The weather there is perfect. Notice, @Timmy Karter said nothing about the weather cuz it's perfect! I even rode a horse, with my shirt off, on a black sand beach. Muchos gracías, mi hermano Timmy! Hasta pronto way(?)
for all the foreigner who criticize timmy that he puts this harsh title in this video you have to think abou that he does more than any of these travel tourists or video makers for your country he get in touch with the locals and everybody is friendly towards him because they think he is a good guy and so he does to them. im half greek and german and when i see timmy i can say you that he has a true greek spirit he is friendly also and i think the last thing he want to do is to put your country in a bad place thats not who we greeks are.
This video title is very misleading. If you made a time machine and went to 2015 yes San Salvador was unsafe, but it has changed drastically. in 2022 it was one of the safest countries in Latin America.
Exactamente Daniela !! Eso quiero mostrar con el contexto de este video! Pero para q la gente hacen click - tengo q poner lo que ya estan pensando q Salvador es … pero en realidad como vas a ver en el video - es algo completamente diferente 🔥🇸🇻🤩
Great loved the el Salvador people in market they are very happy that's what I love I wish when I was Ur age Timmy that I could have done this but at 76 what Ur doing helps me laugh at the filming Ur doing👍💯
It's not dangerous until it is. The difference is the level of danger. In "safe" areas, you come across the wrong person you might get screamed at. Or pushed. Or at worst, a fight. In the murder capital of the world, you come across the wrong person, you lose your life. That's the difference.
His charisma/confidence also put him at an advantage over other people. Doesn't mean he's 100% safe (who wants to live a 100% safe life anyway), but he sure is a hell of a lot safer than some nervous/awkward tourists who looks completely out of place.
Because brother most people that will click- are looking for negative news and drama and guess what are they gonna find once they see that video… 🌹🇸🇻🙏🏼
Tim, I love you bro, but the real tittle of this video should've read: "solo in the (former) world's murder capital! (San Salvador) The country has come a long way and they are trying to move away from all the negative media headlines that used to plague the country. 🙏🙏✌✌
Good job!! We can tell at the vibe things are ok, but I mean you said it yourself you are like a Latino over there. Sometimes it has a lot to do with the attitude or just even being a man and acting with confidence. Who knows how it could be on a different day, being another gender, a bit of bad luck and looking more like an easy victim.. There are also so many types of places and neighborhoods than what is in a headline of a newspaper, the diversity is huge. At the same time, I don't know if you saw the video of Seal on Tour where he got a gun pulled on him in Colombia in the wrong neighborhood, most obviously one where drug dealers are. He ended up fine, but it also humbled him a lot and that resonated with me and it's also what we should do: stay humble while showing different angles of places, but not forgetting all other angles that exist too. Some RUclipsrs in the space took some risks to get where they are now, but the risk is still real. Be sharp and humble to keep the luck on your side! Although who am I to even say those things, you have more experience ajajja. You will succeed, it looks like you are working hard :)
Appreciate the comment bro!! Yea 100% - no matter the country if u walk around and you are the outsider - being scared or suspicious or weird- its also looks as a threat to the locals and they will look at u in the same way. I always approach a new place with curiosity and open mind- and more importantly- smile 😃😂!! Yea I know about what happened to Seal and Tour- crazy moment and luckily all good and you are right that there is always a risk- no doubt! I have entered some other risky places too- I would not encouraging other to do it - luck plays its role as well 100% too!! And yes we should be careful and maybe entering weird places with a local sometimes!! But even me I can’t preach cause I ve done loads of mistakes that caused me big troubles and I’m definitely not the best guy to give mature advices to others
@@TimmyKarter Definitely!! Smile is so powerful! I will try doing something in the following Months with a local in Mexico where apparently you even need authorization before entering the neighborhood, but once you have the authorization you are supposed to be good! But I hope this will still enable some spontaneity. But amazing, looking forward to your next videos!
El Salvador is 1000x better than what it used to be. You can actually walk around most places without a problem and even see gangmemebers running away when police show up. Thank you to our new President!
My brother was the general manager of McCormick Spice Company de El Salvador. He had that job 24 years. When I lived in Panama I visited him many times as I worked with the Grupo Militar de E.E.U.U. there.
I think what helps is u can pass as if u was mixed or something like you somewhat belong there. But now if it was someone that looked like a straight American or something they would not have the same experience as u
he would not even made it trough the hole market if he was white or black and would not speak spanish .. and we are talking about day time with a busy market i expect it to be a different vibe with more men when the sun comes down
I really enjoy these videos, but it's hard not to notice that all these RUclipsrs who create travel channels go to specific countries not necessarily for their reputation as the most beautiful countries in the world (although that's the case for many of them), but more for the reputation of being the 'most dangerous country in the world.' I find that unfortunate.
My friend you should of sat down and really ate the pupusa the way it should have been eating with curtido and its sauce to really enjoy it and get the full flavor of it.. like your content👍
Minuto 2:53 Timmy: Eres guapa madre mía ...!! 😍 La chica: Gracias 🤭 Todo un conquistador el Timmy le hubieras pedido el Wsp pa ligarla es broma 🤣 Man netta que en los mercados aveces encontras una niñas tan hermosas, aveces que ando en de Santa Tecla me quedo enamorado de cada niña que veo; hermosísimas 👌 Pero me da miedo que tengan familia perteneciente a la "MARA" (Gang) Edit: La fruta no es la Dragon Fruit es Rambutan acá en El Salvador se conocen como Lichas

Yeah, it's probably not the best place for a self entitled 65yo American conservative with zero self-awareness. Merica!
Timmy!!! You’re supposed to eat pupusas with curtido (pickled coleslaw mix) and tomato sauce. You didn’t get the full experience 😩
That's a plus, but not necessary. That's why they didn't offer
Another banger of a video. You're videos have inspired me to travel and i begin my first journey soon. Much respect my friend and safe travels.

Because brother most people that will click- are looking for negative news and drama and guess what are they gonna find once they see that video… 🌹🇸🇻🙏🏼
Este griego es mamon , ey du , you have to learn some better words ,don't say you like reggaeton, that's low life bro ,say you like cumbia
Papusas? Just found a couple recipes and I’m putting them on the must fix list. Thank you! I’m enjoying your content.
You’re nuts my parents from El Salvador n I haven’t been since 2000 good video stay safe
Suchitoto es maravilloso.
I live in el salvador, here we are at war but it hasn't been declared, its absolutely scary to live here.
Who are you at war with ? Everyone looks happy there!
Where in El Salvador? Isn’t it one of the safest countries in the Americas
Είσαι τρομερός αλήθεια , συνέχισε δυναμικά. Η μόνη ερώτηση που έχω είναι πως και μιλάς τόσο καλά ισπανικά;
Gia dio logous bro… Latreuw Reggaeton🤩 kai Latines😍!!
Pupusas is typically accompanied by curtido (a fermented cabbage slaw) and tomato salsa 25:14
You are a beautiful soul! Kudos!
your reggaeton jedi master technique didn't work today my friend... hahaha
Tim, I love you bro, but the real tittle of this video should've read: "solo in the (former) world's murder capital! (San Salvador) The country has come a long way and they are trying to move away from all the negative media headlines that used to plague the country. 🙏🙏✌✌
I know bro - try to read some of my comments- I explained why I used this title✌🏼🙂
@@TimmyKarter I got you bro, just wanted to put that out there. I'm watching all your videos. You're the man bro. Peace ✌✌
Enrique you're a great influencer, I am surprised to see you here. Much love.
Good job!! We can tell at the vibe things are ok, but I mean you said it yourself you are like a Latino over there. Sometimes it has a lot to do with the attitude or just even being a man and acting with confidence. Who knows how it could be on a different day, being another gender, a bit of bad luck and looking more like an easy victim.. There are also so many types of places and neighborhoods than what is in a headline of a newspaper, the diversity is huge. At the same time, I don't know if you saw the video of Seal on Tour where he got a gun pulled on him in Colombia in the wrong neighborhood, most obviously one where drug dealers are. He ended up fine, but it also humbled him a lot and that resonated with me and it's also what we should do: stay humble while showing different angles of places, but not forgetting all other angles that exist too. Some RUclipsrs in the space took some risks to get where they are now, but the risk is still real. Be sharp and humble to keep the luck on your side! Although who am I to even say those things, you have more experience ajajja. You will succeed, it looks like you are working hard :)
Appreciate the comment bro!! Yea 100% - no matter the country if u walk around and you are the outsider - being scared or suspicious or weird- its also looks as a threat to the locals and they will look at u in the same way. I always approach a new place with curiosity and open mind- and more importantly- smile 😃😂!!
Yea I know about what happened to Seal and Tour- crazy moment and luckily all good and you are right that there is always a risk- no doubt!
I have entered some other risky places too- I would not encouraging other to do it - luck plays its role as well 100% too!!
And yes we should be careful and maybe entering weird places with a local sometimes!! But even me I can’t preach cause I ve done loads of mistakes that caused me big troubles and I’m definitely not the best guy to give mature advices to others
@@TimmyKarter Definitely!! Smile is so powerful! I will try doing something in the following Months with a local in Mexico where apparently you even need authorization before entering the neighborhood, but once you have the authorization you are supposed to be good! But I hope this will still enable some spontaneity. But amazing, looking forward to your next videos!
19:13 they use those little bags in Africa as well
The old man in yellow said “ see you in hell” 🤣🤣🤣
El Salvador is 1000x better than what it used to be. You can actually walk around most places without a problem and even see gangmemebers running away when police show up. Thank you to our new President!
I love watching your videos
Thanks a lot Flor 🌹🙂!! Means a lot!!🙏🏼
My brother was the general manager of McCormick Spice Company de El Salvador. He had that job 24 years. When I lived in Panama I visited him many times as I worked with the Grupo Militar de E.E.U.U. there.
Dang.. Dude got the balls... I love your videos big FAN ❤ from NAGALAND (INDIA)
the crab man literally said ''see you in hell''
El Salvador 🇸🇻 is the best 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
The crabs "do they come from the Pacific ocean" "No from the swamps" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think what helps is u can pass as if u was mixed or something like you somewhat belong there. But now if it was someone that looked like a straight American or something they would not have the same experience as u
he would not even made it trough the hole market if he was white or black and would not speak spanish .. and we are talking about day time with a busy market i expect it to be a different vibe with more men when the sun comes down
I really enjoy these videos, but it's hard not to notice that all these RUclipsrs who create travel channels go to specific countries not necessarily for their reputation as the most beautiful countries in the world (although that's the case for many of them), but more for the reputation of being the 'most dangerous country in the world.' I find that unfortunate.
Click Bait!!!! I'm in dangerous El Salvador.....then hangs around in a market during daylight hours
My friend you should of sat down and really ate the pupusa the way it should have been eating with curtido and its sauce to really enjoy it and get the full flavor of it.. like your content👍
La mercadera: "Lo van a matar ahi al hombre!"
El griego: "This is the madness of el mercado, I like it!"
🤣🤣🤣
Much love to you my friend, stay safe!
Hahahah el griego 😂😂 verdad
@@TimmyKarter es verdad que grecia es muy parecida a el salvador
Minuto 2:53
Timmy: Eres guapa madre mía ...!! 😍
La chica: Gracias 🤭
Todo un conquistador el Timmy le hubieras pedido el Wsp pa ligarla es broma 🤣 Man netta que en los mercados aveces encontras una niñas tan hermosas, aveces que ando en de Santa Tecla me quedo enamorado de cada niña que veo; hermosísimas 👌 Pero me da miedo que tengan familia perteneciente a la "MARA" (Gang)
Edit: La fruta no es la Dragon Fruit es Rambutan acá en El Salvador se conocen como Lichas
big love here!!!
