Relocation, Residency, Retirement, Travel, work, Volunteer in El Salvdor

El Salvador & also neighboring Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua are far "off the beaten path" vis a vis Europe and parts of Asia, these countries not yet a Costa Rica, Panama or

Ecuador type of place to relocate, there are no "gated communities"

solely for Ex Pats here, mst all Ex Pats live among locals, many Ex

Pats have bi lingual, dual citizen Salvadorian/American/Canadian

spouses they met in USA, Canada or the EU. Some arrivals were even born and raised

abroad by 1 or both Salvadorian parents and have returned for one

reason or other..family ties very strong throughout Latin America.



El Salvadorians live and work all over the world, therefore Ex Pats here

are far more integrated into real society than places with large Ex

Pat "colonies..actually 'gringo' ghettos", such as those that exist in the gated communties

for foreigners in say, Mexico or Costa Rica, Panama also getting popular and more expensive.



Estimate maybe 2,000 "Ex Pats" here, many with Ranchos or Beach Houses

they have purchased or built themselves..also Ex Pats own or rent some fine haciendas in

the countryside....



There exists a 'Relocation Company and Realtor' here in San

Salvador that caters to newbies who do not speak Spanish, this outfit gouges and

overcharges clients, I will not now nor ever refer you to them. I will refer

you only to individuals I know and trust. I will be honest and if I mentor you will assist you to avoid Internet Relocation, Residency, Real Estate and Work Permit schemes.



I am a giver, I am giving back (although most of the services I and my local and/or regional associates provide is not free, beyond advices and some very limited research) Ex Pats, locals and long term travelers helped me out in a pinch

many years ago and vice versa, I left the USA many years before there were even pubilc faxes in this region, of course, no Internet, Cell Phones nor Cybercafes expensive and not common until well into the late 1990s, early 2000s.



Contact me via this site for my contact information, if I cannot assist you I shall try and find someone sincere in this region who is able. I reside here, locals know and trust me, I am integrated into society on all social levels, know thoroughly the culture and customs and do's and dont's from 24+ years of experience, yes, I made all the mistakes and then some after I relocated, I am neither a 'guru', nor 'expert', nor 'goodie two shoes', nor do I shill for any Real Estate speculators nor am I a relocation "Coach", merely a mentor and consultant, guide and intrpreter if you wish to take me on, you dcide after we get to know one another, I speak Spanish, the local language, as well languages other than English and have helped North Americans, Europeans and others relocate, tour and volunteer with few problems in my wonderful and still a bit wild and wooly Central American Region (does not include Costa Rica nor Panama)
