Thinking of moving to El Salvador? We are a Christian family of 5 who left Canada in 2024 to build a new life aligned with our values. This channel covers the real cost of living in El Salvador, buying land, safety concerns, and the truth about raising kids in the local school system.

We share the honest logistics of expat life—from residency and banking to the reality of leaving Canada.

🔨 For detailed builds, DIY projects, and homesteading tutorials, subscribe to our second channel: Making It in El Salvador. youtube.com/channel/UCavIlMDW0SW5PV0kbc2HxIw

Join us as we navigate the opportunities of business, faith, and freedom in Latin America.

If you missed this weekend's video you may have missed the launch of my new channel called Making It In El Salvador youtube.com/@MakingItInElSalvador. This channel discusses the daily struggles about living in El Salvador. My main channel covers more on how to get here and this new channel is for making a successful transition into daily Salvadoran life with a North American twist.
