- Are you moving to El Salvador and feeling unsure about what to expect from the local culture and daily life?
In this episode, I share my experiences and insights to help you navigate the unique aspects of Salvadoran life.
From the warm and friendly nature of the people to the laid-back "Salvadoran timezone," I discuss the joys and challenges of adapting to a new culture. I also delve into practical matters, such as dealing with the hectic traffic and the importance of being cautious when driving due to the presence of stray animals on the streets.
Join me as I provide valuable tips and advice to help you feel more prepared and confident in your move to El Salvador. Tune in!

I am from El Salvador, but I have lived in Canada for 40 years and this year when I went to El Salvador for a two-month trip and the first time I went to the supermarket I had the same experience as you; I had not weighed neither the fruits nor the vegetables; but the cashier didn't complain, instead, he took everything and went back to the produce section and weighed everything for me. As you, I didn't know that I had to do that beforehand. That was so kind!!
I had no idea you’re supposed to do that! But than again I never visit the supermarket 😂😂 so that might explain it and like you I have live 40 yrs im USA 🇺🇸 but I love going to El Salvador 🇸🇻 specially now that it’s save
I thought you guys left, I hadn't see anymore videos of yours. Good to see you again!
Oh no! We have been busy, but El Salvador is our home now and it will be for a long time.

Small town like LA Palma - Juayua- Jayaque-Nueva Concepcion
I’m surprised that u mentioned the time zone issue I was raised in ES and my family always taught me to be responsible and always on time better early then late. By the way you’re not the first one that raises that issue. Surprised. Glad you’re in my country.
I think in all Latin America the concept of time is different than North America 😅
Better to know in advance and adapt.
-Francesco
I agree and so glad you adapted . Envy you, one of these days I’ll move back .
Welcome to El Salvador
Thank you, William!
Welcome to el salvador
Hey there! Great content!
I'll definitely check out more of your videos!
One quick thing about the "salvadorean timezone": Although this could seem funny or just something peculiar, it could actually be a rather serious concern for those moving to El Salvador and doing business for example. Part of the salvadorean timezone is a total lack of sense of urgency and respect for other people's time and that is a big problem I have experienced personally when conducting even basic transactions there. It is a common thing to bump into people that simply don't show up as agreed, ridiculously late or simply don't show up at all without the courtesy to let you know they won't be able to make it.
This is unfortunately a reality that foreigners or even Salvadoreans living abroad and moving to El Salvador need to be aware of and kind of ready to expect or it will drive you nuts for a couple of years until you learn to accept that is just how they are.
❤ 🙏
Thanks for watching, Icarus!
What part of El Salvador are you guys located ? In the city or outside ? We are looking to relocate ourselves!
Hey, Victoria! We have been on the beach in San Blas, in a condo called Paseo Del Prado in Apopa, and now we are in the city.
All three locations offer very different climates, lifestyles, costs, perks, challenges, and pros and cons. It all depends on what’s important to you and what trade-offs you are willing to make.
Get in touch and join our groups to network with the expats living here.

Hi , I did not see the Facebook group..
We also have a Telegram group! While our Facebook group has plenty of real estate listings, the Telegram group is perfect for connecting with the community and learning how to get the best out of El Salvador.

Where would you say are the best places to live in El Salvador as an expat?
It really depends on your priorities. Are you looking for amenities, nature, and peace? Do you need a good school nearby, or do you want to walk on the beach every day? Feel free to email us if you want to share more details or have more questions!
Buenas noches, yo no entiendo casi nada del inglés, me gustaría poder entender sus videos si fuera tan gentil de su parte poner subtitulos en Español le agradecería mucho soy salvadoreño.
Este video esta enfocado a informar a personas extranjeras que hablan inglés para que conozcan de antemano la cultura salvadoreña y no les tome por sorpresa.
@@top.350 ok , yo solo quería entender todo el contexto de su contenido
@@cristianedlopespinozpuedes ponerlo, simplemente apreta captions, auto translate, Spanish
Is it tough to move to el salvador if you're not already an el salvadorian citizen?
Im An american citizen, what would it take for me to move their?
It’s not. Quite the contrary.
El Salvador is very welcoming and getting residency with the right legal support is very easy. Reach out to us directly if you have more questions and check out the video description box for our group links 🤝

Great suggestions up to driving, better to hire some experts professional driver . In ES . Thanks. 🙏. 🚗 🚙.
That’s what we did at the beginning. I’m now getting used to drive here, very stressful and not enjoyable at all unfortunately.

❤🙏
I would never drive in El Salvador 🇸🇻 😂😂😂 I tell mt husband is a dog eat dog on the Roads 😂😂😂
Yep! Juliana refuses to drive here as well. To be honest, it's very stressfull and draining even for me driving here, and I'm from Rome where driving is also very aggressive 😅
