    Excelente presentación: El Salvador es una nación pujante que se enmarca dentro de las naciones que pueden ser ejemplos
    de desarrollo. Aunque no nací en ese país, lo admiro grandemente porque soy un seguidor del presidente Bukele que es para
    mí, el gran tsunami o maremoto que todos aspiramos a ver en cada país. Mi nombre es Darío Mendoza (USA).

    I have visited El Salvador twice last year and i really love how friendly and welcoming the locals are, I felt happy and relaxed during my time there as supposed my rat race and miserable life here in Toronto. I am in my late 40s and I am considering of retiring early there. I just need to make a strategic planning. I hope it will happen soon. X

      We visited here last year too for 3 weeks, that was our scouting trip to decide to move here. We moved here even before our motel has sold in Canada and I retired early to get here. We just really had to get out of Canada before our children's lives were ruined forever. Just a week or so ago a 16 year old trans boy killed a 15 year old boy in the small town (9000 people) where my 15 year old was going to school last year. The western world has gone crazy. That is not happening here. We live in a medium sized gated community and my kids are gone each day after our home schooling and they come back sometime around dinner. I have no worries or concerns for them being outside. This is just how it was when I was growing up in the 80's in Canada. Canada has changed a lot since then and it just isn't safe anymore.

      I'm in the same dilemma. Here are some of my reflections. Although I love Canada this is a country that opened its doors fully and completely wide for me in every sense of the word for me to thrive in whatever path I choose, I have a great job and a great family, and I can truly say this is a blessing from the almighty. The situation is far different from when most of us left El Salvador; I have heard that the new American dream is in El Salvador, and we certainly pay a high price for it. I will say try for a few months living there experience the life and the cost of living then make a decision" ( the rat race has worn me a bit too, lol)

      @@hagenaarsfamily I heard what you said, it has changed a lot (at least) in the last 6-8 year. Everyday is a constant struggle, going to work taking the TTC, the scene on the street with all the homelessness, drug addiction, mental health crisis, high rent and skyrocketing gocery costs. I am retail sales manager for a wine and spirits chain. The daily theft i have to deal with is driving me crazy, the fact that people are allowed to steal almost evryday without a consecquence is beyond me. Police won't even entertain our report. Really frustrating. We need a compassionate government but also tough on crimes. I am not sure if you heard the car theft crisis in Toronto. My friend lost his car and the police won't even investigate it. Recently, a young male was going to work, before he even get in to his car, 3 young thieves waited for him outside his house, they stole his car, he fought back and accidentally stabbed one of the thieves, sadly one of the thieves that was stabbed was pronnounced dead at the hospital was a minor. These are the kind of news we are hearing quite often recently. It's really a sad state for the country and it is only getting worse. That's why i wanna get out of this situation before it's top late.

      @@tenestetubo The politics and laws in Canada have made it unsafe for me to raise my kids there, we could never go back until all of those laws have been repealed. Canada is not safe for Christians or people with traditional family values under Trudeau. Maybe that will change a bit next election but unless Trump has a greater influence over our next leader in Canada than it will still not be safe enough. Plus there is a lot of good that we can do here with our knowledge and resources.

    El Salvador sounds and looks so promising from the reports I've seen and especially listening to the incredible president Bukele who I admire for his wisdom and tenacity.
    We were going to retire in Ecuador, that was the plan for years. But through the pandemic response and post years, the ambiance has turned poisonous there as it was allowed to grow so far out of hand that recovery has been a far reach. Twenty years ago it was a paradise of sorts with only moderate danger.
    I could totally love and thrive in El Salvador, I can tell. A county spot with some land near a small town would be sweet. It's just that now our family is entrenched here in the US, the kids having their own places with land and our eight grandchildren growing up healthily with freedom to run around outdoors and explore without needing vigilance or constant supervision. Things have been creeping toward limitations on freedoms and purchasing power, but enter the promise of the president elect with his cadre of smart and capable respectable people and we expect things could be turning around. There's even a chance of entering a golden age. But thank God the people have spoken: enough with the dumbassery! So if we get on track, it's possible we could get it together at a level comparable to El Salvador. Of course it all remains to be seen how things shake out, but for now, there's hope.
    Que Dios les bendiga!

      Gracias, yes we are all very encouraged that Trump won the election. He is good for the whole world, well the common people, not the elites. He will have some positive effects on Canada too, maybe even bring back that pipeline deal that Biden squashed his first day in office. I pray for Trump's safety every day. And his administration picks are incredible, well except for one, but the rest all have a chip on their shoulder against government bureaucracy and that will help clean up the swamp once and for good, I have hope! I still think the dollar is heading for a crash but Trump is pro Bitcoin and so is RFK and we know that Elon is for crypto so that maybe what we need to correct the train from going off the cliff. Now Canada just has to get rid of Trudeau!

    El Salvador for the most part isn’t so bad when it comes to the price you pay for goods. But there’s just one little thing that really hurts my soul specifically. The price of video games. I play a lot of video games and coming from America I know that over there the standard for a full priced AAA game is 60 US dollars. Sometimes 70 now. But over in El Salvador the prices can be 10-20 dollars higher. Gaming is already an expensive enough hobby in the states but it is even more so in El Salvador. I vividly remember going to a electronic store in El Salvador and being absolutely stunned by the prices of games there. For example, Mortal Kombat 1 for the PS5 is $70 (USD) in America, but it was *80* in El Salvador. $80 for a video game is absolutely ridiculous. But not unexpected given that El Salvador is a lot more modest in population and size so most of these big companies like Nintendo or Sony or Microsoft don’t officially support El Salvador. I know that most of the people watching this aren’t gamers but this is definitely a pet peeve of mine. I say this mostly for any parents who have kids that enjoy playing games on console and they wanna move to El Salvador. You need to know that the prices of video games are absolutely insane. And i didn’t even mention the prices of the consoles themselves. I mean, a thousand dollars for the steam deck is just….ludicrous

      I will do a whole video on the shipping container soon, once we get it, so I can tell you all the good and hopefully there won't be any bad, but that is yet to be found out. We really wanted to bring our Freeze Dryer and that was a big reason to get the shipping container in the first place. So far it has cost us roughly $12,100 USD so far but we don't know how much for import tax yet. Our freeze Dryer was about $6000 CAD new so that was a driving force to have this container.

      It is true, El Salvador is recovering from years of corrupt politicians taking the wealth of this beautiful country for themselves, this is what our local friends have told us over the last year, so this is not my opinion. Now this wonderful country has a real chance, under Bukele, to bring the wealth back to the people and to grow this country into a great tourist spot so that more money can enter El Salvador helping to increase the profits for the local small businesses. That is the direction that we are heading in and we hope to share more wth you guys in the future.

      From what I understand, corrupt countries, like Canada, came here to mine in the past and had disturbed the water table causing the table to be filled with elements like arsenic. Therefore you definitely need a water filter on your tap or household water in order to drink it. We buy bottled water, $2.85 for a 5 gallon jug, in our complex. He comes by 3 times a week and we leave the bottles in front of our house with a Ziploc bag hanging from the bottle with the money in it. We seem to have plenty of water for cleaning and watering plants etc.

      Most Canadians use KIJIJI or facebook marketplace if they are looking for rentals long distance. Otherwise if you were thinking of going to Ottawa for example, go a search for "ottawa apartment or house rental". There maybe local classified in local papers as well as property management companies that come up in your search.

    A few things you said are true. But you must be living near the US Embassy. I have been living here for six months in the countryside doing a couple agricultural projects. Nice people, great President, some good pupusas. But there is a lot of poverty and you failed to mention the one thing that grabs you as you travel in Ek Salvador: the incredible amount of basura or garbage that people just dump everywhere.

    • @hagenaarsfamily

      We are in Lourdes and since we don't have a car right now we just get an Uber to do the shopping every week or so. Here we mostly have construction but I have been driven through areas of great poverty and lots of garbage a few times. I think the garbage will be dealt with over time as people get help from the government to deal with it and when they take more pride in what this country has become. Maybe Bukele will send out prisoners to clean it up too, who knows. In Canada we have different garbage, people pooping on the streets and leaving needles around. You need to put it all in perspective. As for poverty, we are hoping to add to the economy to help combat that problem.

Foreign funds drove up real estate & we locals couldn't afford to buy homes unless we were rich. It created a lot of problems that have never been repaired in Canada. Bank house mortgages are insane if you qualify. Please El Salvado people... address your politicians before it's too late for you.

      There is definitely still lots of poverty here, you will see people selling you products while you are stuck in traffic, or have a little fruit stands on the side of the road. There is still a lot that we can do here to address that.
      The main difference here is the family and community culture. In Canada there are homeless tent encampments where there are drugs and violence. That is something that I haven't see here at all.
      You can watch Murphslife RUclips channel, he speaks more on this topic as he has a foundation to help impoverished people, seniors and orphans.
      Our focus will be on the abused and pregnant girls. We want to supply these single moms with a well paying job and provide them with child care so that they can build a new life for themselves and feel empowered.

Our healthcare system is broken and we still have to pay for our own medications as well. Even if you are lucky enough to have a home and a job, you may have to get food from a food bank. Our rights and liberties are being removed with every law that is being passed. Christians are being persecuted in Canada also, freedom of religion is being taken away. We and some others that I know have come and are still planning on coming here, are going to try and start businesses that will bring good paying jobs to the local population.

    It sounded more like 10 reasons to move to El Salvador. It would be interesting to see a video about the horrible traffic jams during rush hour in San Salvador. There are some neighborhoods in San Salvador like Mejicanos or Soyapango where Uber drivers don't want to go, because it takes forever to drive in or out of those places. They lose money by sitting in traffic. Yes, Wendys, Mcdonalds, and other American stores are in El Salvador, but expect to pay the same the same prices as in the USA, since the Salvadorean currency is the U.S. dollar. A worldwide phenomenon going on right now, is that foreigners move into 3rd world countries, and immediately the cost of living goes up. Not a problem for the foreigners, because it is still very affordable, except for the locals. Locals can't afford it. Most people still earn extremely low wages. El Salvador is a beautiful country. Come visit.
