- Hi I'm Carol, and I'm ThatExpatMom! I'm from California but choose to raise my family in beautiful El Salvador. I originally came here for work but I fell in love, made a giant leap of faith, and 9 years 3 girls later here we are...a blended family of 5! #ElSalvador #expat #MyLifeinElSalavdor
I often get asked… What's an expat? Why did I move to El Salvador? Why do I choose to raise my kids here? Will I ever go back to the US?
Today I answer those and other questions as I spill the tea on my life as an expat mom in El Salvador ☕

Hola desde El salvador
La sencillez de una persona, es lo más agradable qué hay en esté mundo Gracias;
Just found your channel and love your sense of adventure!!! I have always wanted to travel abroad with my family! "having kids is an adventure" sooo true!! new friends and sub from Northern CA!
Thank you so glad to have you here! 🤗 Traveling with kids is awesome you get to see the world through fresh eyes 💗
Hi Carol! I found you channel last night. I love it. Your family is adorable. It is so nice to know you love El Salvador so much! I was born there but moved to the States in my early teenage years. I visited like 12 years ago. Now I'm amarried and would love to take my Chinese-American husband to visit and see how beautiful my birth country is and not to worry about how things are portrayed in the news. It's always the negative things, but El Salvador is so much more than that.
That is such a neat story and I bet it is a beautiful place to live. Thanks for sharing your experience and journey with us.
Thank you! It is such a beautiful country 💙💙
"I'd love to be a citizen of the World," I liked that! I loved this tag, Luna is just like youuu!!
Children are such a blessing! ☺️ Multi-tasking--your amazing at it! Love the channel! ❤️
Thank you! Multitasking is a funny thing sometimes I'm on top of it other times I burn my kettle to my stove 🤪 in my defense I had a toddler and a cholicy newborn at the time. I love my family and am grateful everyday I found them 💙
very nice video, you answered all my question!! thank you
That's awesome 😁 💙 thank you!
Every time I see someone saying good things about my beautiful country, I feel proud of being Salvadorean, especially now that I live abroad(Houston, TX), thank you for appreciating how warm and kind my people are, that is our best quality, I wish you the best and hope you enjoy everything while you live there.
Oh thank you so much I am so glad you liked it. You should be proud it is such an AMAZING country 😊 I wish you and your family all the best as well!
This was so adorable to watch. I enjoyed, glad I came across your channel.. I worked abroad for so many years but with no kids. So excited to follow your journey and see what is like as Expat mom as I would love to travel with my kids and see and live in different parts of the world. Liked and subbed 💕
That is awesome! What places did you live abroad?
LOVED IT!! It answered all my questions about you! It’s so interesting and amazing you lived there for 10 years! I wish I could taken my little one on my trip but it’s a must for next time!! Thank you for sharing about our country! 🥰❤️❤️🇸🇻
I'm so happy you liked it 💙 I love living here. Hopefully next time your little one can come there are so many great things for kids here 😊
I really enjoyed this and getting to know you more for sure! El Salvado es Bello!
Them you so much 🤗 El Salvador truly is AMAZING! 💙
Thanks for sharing your experiences in El Salvador with us!
So happy to share 😁thank you for watching
Hurray for fixing the world! You did it so quickly and seamlessly! Super heros! I'm so glad we could connect. You are such a super Mom- It's so cute to see how you are with your kids. You are making me so curious about El Salvador. I'd like to hear what you don't like about it as well. We can save that for the next thing we do, huh! So I have a lot to say- First, your hair up looks so amazing! Classy and elegant. You are just a beautiful lady! And that's not creepy because I'm married and all that jazz. I so hear you about it being hard with friends. I'm so glad I found a few Swedes that I'm getting close with. It really does take time. Another thing I'm interested in is how the language affects your life. And I'm just so happy to watch this and to catch all the joy just pouring off of you. It's so refreshing. Keep up the good work!
I didn't do it alone even the avengers need eachother lol 🦸♂️ I'm really glad we found eachother as well it's really so great to find people with common interests! ❤️
I loved this tag! So nice to learn more about you. I find your life living abroad so fascinating!! :) I just love your bubbly personality too. You always make me smile :)
Thank you so much ☺️ I love sharing my perspective of this home I love with others. 💙
I love to travel and when I was young I always wanted to be a missionary. However I am born and raised in Florida. Thank you for bringing the reality of it to me, I would terribly miss my family and friends.
I do miss them terribly but moving here was also the best decision I ever made. If you ever have the chance to travel part time I always recommend it 😊
U have family here with salvadorean people 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Hi! I saw your message on our channel and thought I'd drop by and say hello! You have adorable babies!
Hi! Thank you! 🤗 How are you guys liking El Salvador so far? The holidays are always a blast 🎇
Just found your channel and idk how, but I love it! You’re making me want to move there and be besties with you 😭
You are so bubbly and fun! Loved this video!!
Thank you! 🤗 I love making these videos
Your girls are adorable!! It was fun hearing about your life, fun tag!
Oh thank you so much! They keep me on my toes for sure
You made me cry when you explained the reasons you love to live in El Salvador, I feel that we Salvadorans who live in the state we have so much pain in our hearts and we miss so much exactly what you just described. Thanks for loving our country so much! My dream is to go back to El Salvador for good some day. !
This is my first expat tag video. Loved it. will come back again to ur channel.
So happy to hear that 💙
Great video! Great to learn more about you!
Thank you so much 🤗
Omg! I’m so glad I found your channel! New subbie!! I want to eventually to teach abroad. I love how you said you would love to be a citizen of the world!
So Happy to have you here! Teaching abroad was so much fun! Where are you looking to go?
Omg! No Target!😩. I would. Die!!!😂😂. This is such a cute blog and perfect for me getting to know you! Just subbed to you! Found you on TH-cam support page and I’m happy to have found you! Excited to see more! Can’t wait to see more of El Salvador!

I'm glad to hear something from you! you were teaching us English like 5 years ago in one of the Consulting I was working from
Hi 💙👋 it's so nice to hear from you too! I'm trying to place you from the tiny picture 😊 5 years ago would have been digicel, groupo Q, or pan life?

Hello, I’m a new subscriber, I fell in love with you and your channel right away, I’m from El Salvador but I left 43 years ago and now I live in California, so I did the opposite and totally understand, when I moved up here it wasn’t like it is right now that wherever you turn you can find Hispanic items, many blessings to you and your family ♥️♥️♥️
Such lovely video . Much blessings to you and your beautiful children 😊
Thank you so much! Blessings to you and your family as well 😁
Loved watching this ❤

Hola desde El salvador
Lovely kids. :) great place to be. I just learn el salvador is changing in a very positive way. hugs blessings
Thank you! It really is!
😂I wonder if "Target" is at the top of the list of every expats "what I miss most from the USA"! It certainly is on mine!!
It is the top of the list for everyone I know 💜
Awwwh ur girls are so adorable love this 💖
Hola desde El salvador
Thank you! 🤗
I think it's very brave to move to another country and think it's amazing that you met someone and had your family there. I hope one day you can spend summers in the states with your family.
Thank you so much! It's amazing how brave love makes a person 😂 hopefully we will be able to visit family more often but I don't know we will ever be able to actualize the dream of visiting the states every year.
I feel you on number 7. Making friends has been really hard here in Spain also. Oh... and I miss donuts! haha!
I have an expat friend in Spain you should check her out th-cam.com/channels/_D7xape97hPF-IPYSOqt2w.html
They don't have donuts in Spain?! We have a Mr Donuts chain here that is really good.... But I do miss Krispy Creme
Thanks so much for sharing and appreciate my beautiful country, which I miss that much ❤️
Thank you so much for hanging out with us 😁💙 it is my pleasure to share the beauty that is El Salvador
@@ThatExpatMom thanks 🙏🏻
Hi Carol, I'm from El Salvador but currently living in EEUU. I'm married to a beautiful human being who is from Puerto Rico. I'm glad to see that my husband is not the only one who love my country since the first time he visited it. And also, I'm glad to see foreign people enjoying my little country.
Thank you for showing the rest of the world how beautiful is my country!
That is awesome! I'm so happy to have you here along for the adventure 💙 I first met my husband when coming to El Salvador for work 11 years ago.. I fell in love with him and I feel in love with the country. 💙💙💙
Woot! Currently in Chula Vista, Ca!
Awesome my old stomping grounds :) I went to Elementary School and University there. :) Have fun!
Your edits are amazing wow
Thank you! This was actually the first video I edited myself. Filmora is amazing
Thanks for the video
Thank you for watching
Very cool! Reminds me a lot of military lifestyle, living abroad!
Totally except my husband is from El Salvador so I've had it much easier in that sense with his family here 💙have you guys lived abroad?
That Expat Mom No, we haven’t yet but who knows where we will end up! We have moved to a new state and will move again in the fall
Hello, enjoyed your video and glad you are loving El Salvador. You have a beautiful family. Saludos desde Los Angeles.
Gracias! 😁 I love raising my family here in El Salvador. It is such a wonderful home. I'm so happy you liked the video 💙 please say hi to Cali for me
Hola! You have such a lovely spirit!
Target! Lol that must save you tons of money! Lol
It is hard to keep friendships when on the move. I have been moving around for years now so it's been a struggle but happy to have my little family with me. Latin america food is just so good!
Thank you! Hahahaha yes not having target has a financial benefit 😂🤣
Your home looks so beautiful
Thank you so much 💗

Mizata is beautiful!! 💙 Thank you so much for watching 😊 I hope you get a chance to come back to El Salvador soon 💙 bless you and your family you are so kind
This reminds me of the show 90 day fiancé where the individuals leave US and go live in other countries for love! Ha ha! Thats awesome that living there has allowed you to be a stay at home mom and spend more time with your kids!
We love that show! 😂 Being able to stay home with them is the best... It's insane... But it's seriously the best
That’s a nice video, loved it
Thank you! So much I enjoy getting to share a bit of the El Salvador I love.
