In the first half of the video, I explore the idea of moving to El Salvador and share insights into various aspects of living there. I discuss lifestyle choices, budget considerations, and safety improvements, emphasizing a significant drop in crime rates, creating a safer environment for both tourists and residents.
The video also touches upon entry requirements, including visa fees and permitted stay durations for different passports. I highlight the country’s appeal for leisure activities, especially for surf enthusiasts, and mention diverse attractions beyond the beaches, such as volcanoes, waterfalls, lakes, and mountains.
I delve into the topic of Bitcoin adoption in El Salvador, discussing the government’s efforts to promote the Chivo wallet and the challenges faced by the community. I express that living solely from Bitcoin in El Salvador is not as straightforward as initially expected, and alternative wallets like Blink are preferred.
Additional topics covered include insights into the weather, the two seasons (dry and wet), taxes, housing options for tourists and long-term residents, and the costs of living in different areas of the country.
I provide a personal perspective on daily life in El Salvador, including interactions with street vendors and the diversity of housing options available.
