El Salvador should NOT be your Plan B country, here's why!

Is El Salvador Your Plan B? It Should Be Your Plan A! 🇸🇻🚀
If you’re considering El Salvador as your Plan B, then you need to watch this video! Seven months ago, my family and I left Canada, packed up everything—including 3 kids, 3 cats, and a shipping container—and moved to El Salvador. Now that we’ve settled in, I’m sharing the truth about life here: the good, the bad, and the unexpected.
🔥 In this video, I cover:
✅ How we and our kids are adapting to a tropical lifestyle
✅ The real cost of living in El Salvador (full breakdown!)
✅ The people, culture, and safety—is El Salvador really dangerous?
✅ Why Canadians & Americans are moving here (and staying!)
✅ Business & investment opportunities for expats
✅ Bukele’s impact on the country and what it means for the future
✅ The Western world vs. El Salvador—which one truly values freedom?
El Salvador is NOT a Plan B country—it’s a Plan A country for anyone who wants safety, opportunity, and a better quality of life. If you’re wondering if you should make the move, this video is for you!
