Our Life in El Salvador: Our Honest Experience After 6 Months

🌴 6 Months in El Salvador: What We Really Think 🌴
Six months ago, my family and I made the bold decision to leave Canada behind and start a new life in El Salvador! 🇸🇻 We packed up our kids, three cats, 12 suitcases, and even a 20-foot shipping container—and now, after half a year in paradise, I’m sharing the truth about what it’s really like to live here.
🚀 In this video, I’ll cover:
✅ The people & culture – how welcoming is El Salvador?
✅ Cost of living breakdown – rent, groceries, utilities & more!
✅ Our favorite places to eat and shop 🥘
✅ Safety & security – is El Salvador really dangerous? 🚔
✅ How we’re adjusting to the language barrier
✅ Infrastructure, healthcare & the changes under President Bukele
✅ Our personal experiences – what we love and what’s still challenging
