For all the gringos who can read me, I am Salvadoran and I left my country in the 80's, not because I wanted to but because of the bad governments, I arrived in the legal U.S. and learned from their culture, no one welcomed me with open arms but they did teach me to be a better person. I will always be grateful to the gringo people, I never naturalized because I did not think I would leave the U.S. but Nayid Bukele has given us back our dignity and now we will return to make EL SALVADOR a great country. Here all the good ones will be welcome
Thank you. I wish you and your people a prosperous future. Many good things are happening in your country. With determination, and a sense of "nation", your people can build a model for all to learn from. Best wishes.\o
My husband is from El Salvador, he has been here for 20 years and we are proud to say we are going to move to El Salvadoran in 10-15 years once our kids are settled and we've built our house.
I'm Guatemalan but I love and admire a lot El Salvador and its proposes of growing, and obviously its President. And I love to watch foreigns developing and teaching the greats of that country 👏 👍👍
Im a 34 yrd salvadorean living in los angeles since the age of 4 years old😌 and im currently thinking of moving back to el salvador🥰. I go visit every 3 months and the country has gone an amazing change and life is more mellow and low paced.
@@genERICexpats yeah im doing whatever i can to help out. Im buying and building restaurants and hotels in LA.COSTA DEL SOL DEPARTAMENTO DE LA PAZ and buying BITCOIN👍 yessss sir
I've worked with a number of guys from El Salvador, in the Pennsylvania Bluestone industry. To be totally honest, I've never been a fan of the huge influx of undocumented migrants, but I'd never disrespect these guys for their hard work ethic, or the determination they have to support family, leaving everything behind for years. Most I've ever been acquainted with have never been the criminal types that many in other areas seem to experience. I've only known the decent and hard working family types. I often wonder if it's all truly worth it for them though. I understand the pay and opportunity differs drastically from their homes, but that time with family and home community is something we can never put a real value on, and we can never retrieve the time we've lost. I often wonder if they look back on that time as a huge mistake, chasing the dollar, regardless of the improvements it may provide in quality of life. I'd hope they could find a way to build a better future for their home countries, and never have to consider such sacrifice. It would be nice if their only reasons for traveling to the US could involve leisurely pursuits, like vacations and tourism, going forward. I sincerely wish them well. I think El Salvador is on a much more prosperous path.
After 42 years I am a Salvadorean with the US citizenship but I am returning to El Salvador ! Something unimaginable only 4 years ago, the profound changes in the security and the great leadership of president Bukele has made it possible to happen! Thanks God for his blessings to our beautiful country
The title should read “ why people of the USA or North America are moving to El Salvador” because “ El Salvador” is also America and we are also “American” !!!!!!
El Salvador es un país americano , America no es solo USA , eso aplicaría que lo exprese un asiático ò europeo para referirse a un americano , lo más ridiculo es que un latinoamericano llame a americano a un estadounidense .
@alamex9695 saludos y bienvenidos a El Salvador... cuando ustedes gusten, les entendemos perfectamente lo que es vivir ese infierno, primero Dios 🙏 pronto puedan vivir en paz
Just came home from a trip to El Salvador. Great place! I was blessed by God and was able to acquire almost 6 apples (roughly 10 acre) coffee farm. Love it !!
I agree, buckle needs to make sure our people are taken care of- what good is fancy hotels, fancy soccer stadiums, fancy Turist center if our people are dying and living in poverty. advocate for change, but for the people of our country -- investor will continue to get rich
Hell yeah dude. I know ALOT in New York my neighbors are from there and they are moving out of the this shit hole and going back to El Salvador I want to move there too once my Spanish is better 😂😊
I’m finally visiting my beautiful home country El Salvador 🇸🇻 this December. It’s been 8 years since the last time I was there. I’m sooooo happy to finally go back for a few weeks💙🤍
Nice video the only error is that America is not a country, Salvadorean are also Americans. El Salvador it's a beautiful and I'm planning to move there within the next 3yrs to open an art studio.
They know!! Indians are not Indians but we are used to calling them that way, they are actually indigenous or Native Americans. So don't worry and enjoy the video.
I'm selling everything now here in the USA my house it's almost empty and my house in el salvador is almost done ... I hope by October next year I should be living back in el salvador 😊
Very happy that the world is finally opening up to El Salvador. To the wonderful side I always knew was there. But especially thank you to TH-camrs like you for sharing your experiences. You are truly leading the way in that. ❤️🇺🇸🇸🇻
I follow her TH-cam channel .. she is wonderful, shares lots of her experiences with her followers . You guys summarized a lot of your experiences traveling around the world in just a couple of minutes. Loved it! ❤❤❤
Hi, I am originally from ES living in the USA for almost 49 years. I have been back to ES once only in 1990. Nice to hear that foreigners are living in ES while I live away, hoping to go back soon. Happy holidays.
Es ley, pero lamentablemente muchas veces no se obedece, no solo por falta de cultura y educación vial, pero por que la infraestructura 3er mundista no lo permite, por ejemplo en Santa Ana, la mayoria de calles son de un solo carril, y en el area de el mercado. Hay ventas en las aceras que se derraman a las calles, haciendolas aun mas angostas. Esperemos que poco a poco, esto se corrija, y ya no haya necesidad de multar para que la gente de espacio a las ambulancias.
when a salvadorean go to United State not gringo is going to tell you welcome to United State, now alot of people from USA, UK, CANADA and others countries are moving to el salvador because everything is getting so expensive , the rent, the food, car payment and even home insurance is so expensive and in el salvador with 1,000 dollars a month you can live at low cost
Only the bad ones, because of (MS) El SALVADOR get a bad wrap!! But thanks to the president ELSAL is getting a better reputation with means Salvadorean will be welcomed in many countries .
I am 43 years old born and raised right here in San Antonio, Texas. My son (18) and I are planning on making the move! We are God fearing Christians, and in search of a simple life. We want to share our culture with others, embrace, and honor your country and culture as well!
I'm impressed on the lady's vision and how she traveled to explore different countries to eventually settle in ES. Sounds like she knows a lot about El Salvador. Thank you very much for talking good about El Salvador and some of the pros ans cons about it for those who wish to visit.We all should be open minded be willing to learn and explore new horizons. El Salvador will continue to grow and be much better. Thank you very much again for making of El Salvador a happy place for you to live in. Your coments were actually on the spot. Correct!!! Thank you again to both of you for the video.
I’m Salvadoran Canadian, the last time I was there was in 2000 and in 2001. There was always tourism there even back then, anyway I plan on moving back there permanently but I know it will be hard.
I enjoyed such interview,love to hear the content maker and this amazing American Lady how she has made El Salvador her 2nd home, I am from El Salvado but live in Canada, I have so much to be thankful about Canada that I can say I have two homes and can live in either nations and enjoy both, nicely made video, congratulations!
I like this perspective. I dream on the day I can go back to retire in my birth county Es. Me gusta la perspectiva. Sueño en el día que me pueda jubilar y regresar a mi país. Bendiciones 🎉🙏😊
DUDE!!. Well done video and she is incredible smart by the way she answers finding the balance. ONLY TWO THINGS, you need to change your hat either one representing your United States "OF" America or one of the host country and secondly AMERICA is bigger than you think you are missing at least 20 countries.
I was there last month. I've traveled to many Latin countries. I saw New York prices for food. Homes are Northeastern USA expensive and many are lacking infrastructure for water etc. I would buy land and see how the country develops. To be honest I see taxesbeing levied soon to help much of the Salvadorian population that is impoverished.
Interesting input. I cant say ive ever found a full lunch in New York for $2.50.... or in any of USA for that matter. As for property - did you look in Escalon or San Benito? Or where was it? I feel like you're possibly comparing apples to oranges
Yes the local vendors are cheap. I was in Merlot and got some tacos from a small shop that was packed with locals. I had diarrhea for 4 days. If you go to restaurants or the shopping stores food is the same price as here in NY. Now you can go to the mercados or street vendors and they are cheap but the choices are limited and you have to travel there. I went to Berlin to look at homes, EL Tunco, LA Libertad and Cuidad de Arboles. In Berlin one home I was showed needed a lot of repairs ( I'm a Realtor and Loan Officer) the place had a lot of infrastructure and repair issues and the asking price was $350k. Ridiculous... There are no standards for pricing real-estate and appraisals have no bearing on deals. So the sky is the limit for sellers and landlords renting properties. I saw one place go up $20k in two weeks when a few people showed interest. A lot of infrastructure is not setup and many Salvadorian's don't have running water and live very simply since that's what they can afford. While I was there I worked with 2 realtors. Each tried to charge me for consultation one wanted $1,500 USD and he did it part-time. I did my own professional search. Sorry but I took a solid look at El Salvador and it's just not for me.
@RenaldoSan no harm done. These videos are educational and are meant to help inform to make future expat lifestyle choices. Do you by chance speak spanish? I know a lot non-spanish speakers get quoted the "gringo premiums" for literally everything. Regardless, El Tunco and such places are expat hubs so youd have to compare it to trendy cities in USA such as Denver IMO...
@GenERICexpats I understand your position. I just wanted to share what was uncovered when I peeled back the vail and took a look. Bukele is doing wonderful things yet it's still a developing 3rd world country with it's own rules and path toward development. To be frank even here in the US real estate market, Florida has undergobe some seriuos development changes. People flocked there the last 4 years. Now taxes are going through the roof (doubling for some) to support infrastructure/improvements for the influx of people and homeowners insurance doubled as well for some and home prices have skyrocked. Some people are being forced to sell (in particular, retirees on a modest fixed income) and move out of the state. There are rules and standards, etc, in Florida that are not in El Salvador thus one really needs to look closely. And yes both my wife and I speak Spanish. Cheers
@RenaldoSan good to know! Ive been following the Florida situation lightly and its interesting to know the more in depth details. Totally agree about El Salvador and you never know if things will go back to how they were when/if bukele isnt president. Im in colombia now starting my second chapter of my channel anyhow hahah
El Salvador will be expensive for many Americans and I don't recommend you move here unless you make 4k a month or you won't have a life like in the USA. Your rent for a good apartment like in the USA in El Salvador will average between 1 to 2.5k and groceries will average between 500 to 1k a month for 1 person. Don't even get started on buying furniture here, go to siman, sears or curacao and you will pay more on everything than you would pay in the USA this includes electronics, kitchen appliances, etc. Gas is 4 bucks a gallon minimum and doesnt change much on the downside so your paying Arizona gas prices living in a 3rd world country. Things to consider before you make the leap. Probably better off in neighboring countries also mexico is a lot more cheaper than here
Gentrification is worrisome, it happens every time, when a lot of Americans or Europeans move to a developing country, every price increases and the locals have a hard time.
True but when done correctly it also brings a lot of money and jobs and intellectual capital. But if it's people who just want to sit in an air b n b and pay 3x what locals pay for a few months then that's bad.
mostly is about guys who does not want to pay taxes, so they star for a few months, less than 6 months in every country, they pay 1000 dollars on an airbnb and then leave, i went to San Salvador last week and the airbnb market there is very expensive and not very good, if you want to stay on a nice zone of the city prices can go up to 100$ a night or more, regular housing is already expensive there, in a decent neighborhood the apartments begin with 1200$ which is crazy for the local salaries. So no, mostly bad things comes from gentrification.@@firstnamelastname6926
If someone has the opportunity to travel to El salvador 🇸🇻 will be loved at first sight ... you can retire and live like a king 🤴 with 1000 thousand dollars a month
@LifePlusRice americans need to pay a visa fee of 10usd (i beleive) upon arrival at the airport and some nations are exempt. Yours could be exempt but worse case scenario kingdomers pay like 8 quid haha
For all the gringos who can read me, I am Salvadoran and I left my country in the 80's, not because I wanted to but because of the bad governments, I arrived in the legal U.S. and learned from their culture, no one welcomed me with open arms but they did teach me to be a better person.

She's such a great likeable lady
we need more people like her in El Salvador.

Thanks for your feedback. Ive driven more than 2 years around mexico alone on my motorcycle and loved it
En El Salvador los carros se hacen a un lado y dejan pasar a la ambulancia, la policia multa si no lo haces, además por humanismo debes ceder el paso.
Es ley, pero lamentablemente muchas veces no se obedece, no solo por falta de cultura y educación vial, pero por que la infraestructura 3er mundista no lo permite, por ejemplo en Santa Ana, la mayoria de calles son de un solo carril, y en el area de el mercado. Hay ventas en las aceras que se derraman a las calles, haciendolas aun mas angostas. Esperemos que poco a poco, esto se corrija, y ya no haya necesidad de multar para que la gente de espacio a las ambulancias.
Si vas a Honduras verás que nadie obedece a una ambulancia o a una patrulla. Nadie se aparta

There are no standards for pricing real-estate and appraisals have no bearing on deals. So the sky is the limit for sellers and landlords renting properties. I saw one place go up $20k in two weeks when a few people showed interest.
A lot of infrastructure is not setup and many Salvadorian's don't have running water and live very simply since that's what they can afford.
While I was there I worked with 2 realtors. Each tried to charge me for consultation one wanted $1,500 USD and he did it part-time. I did my own professional search. Sorry but I took a solid look at El Salvador and it's just not for me.
@RenaldoSan no harm done. These videos are educational and are meant to help inform to make future expat lifestyle choices.
Do you by chance speak spanish?
I know a lot non-spanish speakers get quoted the "gringo premiums" for literally everything.
Regardless, El Tunco and such places are expat hubs so youd have to compare it to trendy cities in USA such as Denver IMO...
@GenERICexpats I understand your position.
I just wanted to share what was uncovered when I peeled back the vail and took a look.
Bukele is doing wonderful things yet it's still a developing 3rd world country with it's own rules and path toward development.
To be frank even here in the US real estate market, Florida has undergobe some seriuos development changes.
People flocked there the last 4 years. Now taxes are going through the roof (doubling for some) to support infrastructure/improvements for the influx of people and homeowners insurance doubled as well for some and home prices have skyrocked. Some people are being forced to sell (in particular, retirees on a modest fixed income) and move out of the state. There are rules and standards, etc, in Florida that are not in El Salvador thus one really needs to look closely.
And yes both my wife and I speak Spanish.
Cheers
@RenaldoSan good to know! Ive been following the Florida situation lightly and its interesting to know the more in depth details.
Totally agree about El Salvador and you never know if things will go back to how they were when/if bukele isnt president.
Im in colombia now starting my second chapter of my channel anyhow hahah
Ease up on the musical interludes for the love of God!
This was a very good video, thanks so much
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video!!! 👌
Thank you very much!
What a great video very informative
Glad you think so! It was a pleasure to make
i wanna buy a flat and moving a few months of the year in El Salvador. what scary me is if Bukele won't be president anymore after 5 yrs
Most people want him to stay. Let's see if that happens
Why are the United state citizens moving to El Salvador? 🇸🇻 Americans are all of us who live on the continent of America.
Thank you! Great video.
Thanks so much
El Salvador will be expensive for many Americans and I don't recommend you move here unless you make 4k a month or you won't have a life like in the USA. Your rent for a good apartment like in the USA in El Salvador will average between 1 to 2.5k and groceries will average between 500 to 1k a month for 1 person. Don't even get started on buying furniture here, go to siman, sears or curacao and you will pay more on everything than you would pay in the USA this includes electronics, kitchen appliances, etc. Gas is 4 bucks a gallon minimum and doesnt change much on the downside so your paying Arizona gas prices living in a 3rd world country. Things to consider before you make the leap. Probably better off in neighboring countries also mexico is a lot more cheaper than here
Gentrification is worrisome, it happens every time, when a lot of Americans or Europeans move to a developing country, every price increases and the locals have a hard time.
True but when done correctly it also brings a lot of money and jobs and intellectual capital. But if it's people who just want to sit in an air b n b and pay 3x what locals pay for a few months then that's bad.
mostly is about guys who does not want to pay taxes, so they star for a few months, less than 6 months in every country, they pay 1000 dollars on an airbnb and then leave, i went to San Salvador last week and the airbnb market there is very expensive and not very good, if you want to stay on a nice zone of the city prices can go up to 100$ a night or more, regular housing is already expensive there, in a decent neighborhood the apartments begin with 1200$ which is crazy for the local salaries. So no, mostly bad things comes from gentrification.@@firstnamelastname6926
Whenever you decide to come, I'll just say WELCOME!
What?
@@genERICexpats I meant YOU as every US citizen who wants to come to El Salvador.
Solid video bro. I need to get one of those little microphones. Excited to surf El Salvador.
Thanks so much. They're super affordable on amazon
thanks for visiting my country!!
I loved it! Hoping more and more discover how beautiful it is
Thank you for visiting my country
It was an amazing time
If someone has the opportunity to travel to El salvador 🇸🇻 will be loved at first sight ... you can retire and live like a king 🤴 with 1000 thousand dollars a month
$1,000 definitely goes a lot further than in USA or Canada
Nice video, and yes making your own curtido for pupusas is safer
You got that right!
👍
Do UK visitors need a visa ?
@LifePlusRice americans need to pay a visa fee of 10usd (i beleive) upon arrival at the airport and some nations are exempt. Yours could be exempt but worse case scenario kingdomers pay like 8 quid haha
Chicos si tienen tierras no las vendan todas, muchos de estas personas compran muchas casas para venderlas más más cars, y hacen una gentrificación
