I loved El Salvador. I don’t speak Spanish but Google translate helped! They were all willing to speak into my phone. Also, I felt very welcomed. I went solo and felt 100% safe. I drove around by myself. Stayed in 2 different areas. Had no issue. A few people even said thanks for visiting their country and to come back. A little elderly lady was staring at me and when I walked closer to her, it was translated that she was saying I was beautiful. I loved that they used U.S. currency!

The other day I was telling a colleague that the Chews are on of my favorite Vloggers. Someone overhead, and mistakenly thought I said the Jews...lol. After conversation with supervisor and showing them your videos. The issue was resolved. Hopefully they're watching your videos too. Good luck guys.!!

Its nice to see how awesome El Salvador has become. My early childhood I lived with my grandma and then my aunt. I have not gone back since I left back in 1999. Trying to convince my mom for a family trip so I can reconnect and explore

For Tamanique Waterfalls hike, do we need closed toe shoes? Or would Chaco sandals be ok? And when you had to walk through the water, is that the only way to get through the trail?

Great tips for El Salvador! I got a plane tickets for 150$ round trip the beautiful air BNB in San Salvador was around $230 for 5days. We even ended up Getting a last minute ride to Antigua Guatemala for a night for less than 60$. El Salvador is super safe I encourage everyone to go before the secret is out and it's overrun with tourists
