Why would anyone move their whole family to El Salvador?!
That's the question we get all the time—especially from Salvadorans. After living here for 10 months, I’m finally sharing the raw, real, and eye-opening truth about why we left Canada behind... and why El Salvador is now our Plan A.
From cultural surprises and car trouble drama, to the shocking safety differences and the rising cost of living in Canada—we cover it all. I’m walking you through our month’s expenses, the challenge of navigating daily life, and why this country, once labeled "the most dangerous in the world," is where we now feel the most free.
