That Expat Mom

Hi I'm Carol, a Californian living in El Salvador with my Salvadoran husband and our 3 daughters. I make travel family vlogs around El Salvador showing a side of this beautiful country that is often overlooked, as well as chitchat videos talking about the adulting aspects of living abroad.

I hope you subscribe, take a journey with us, and have an AMAZING day!

    I’m traveling to ES next week for vacation with my husband and 2 y/o. I’ve traveled to many countries that do not require a child to be in a car seat when traveling in a taxi/uber. Could you kindly share car seat info for El Salvador. We will be traveling with a stroller but unsure if we need to bring a car seat? Thanks and love your video, so informative and very helpful! Keep up the amazing work!

    Hi Vino 😊 are you talking about economical long term rental apartments? Yes, rent for cost of living in El Salvador has increased quite a bit especially in the city. The further away you move from the city the more economical rent is (we live about 40 minutes away from the city) but rent and school (if you have school age children) will be the bulk of your expenses here.

    Yeah el Majahual is the most dangerous beach in El Salvador, most drownees have died by those craxy waves and currents , that beach s demanded thousands of Salvadorean lives . San diego s number 2 in that ranking , that Majahual beach s freaking unbeliavable , that beach where you happened to get that awful experience s not that dangerous and still we have to respect that holly shoot of a beach.😅😅😅😅 Thanks God we have A Carol And Carlos for a while❤❤❤

    @@ThatExpatMom yeah, it's cuz from usulutan all the way down to la union Bay and cutuco port waters are not that deep,that's why you have paradisic beaches like El Espino , Las Flores El cuco , El Tamarino, so from ahuachapan to half usulutan beaches are for surfing almost alone cuz that terrain is concave all around made of irregular sand tops so we get those amazing world type surfing waves, then from half usulutan all the way to El cutuco port you have very shallowing sand levels and that's why we are a lil messed up with the cutuco Port and the ferry not a lil messed but screwed up hehehe, cuz those waters are not deep enough to get cruise and cargo ships however you can have beaches with barely no waves just like pool like sea around you , and you & the girls ve seized that in your last videos .
