  • 6 - Why we moved to El Salvador for safety and freedom

    Are you considering moving to a new country but feeling unsure about where to go?    Many people struggle with finding a place that offers safety, freedom, and a positive culture for their family.    In this episode, I share my personal experience and the reasons why my husband and I chose to move to El Salvador in May 2022.   Despite the negative portrayal of El Salvador in the media, we felt safe during our visit and continue to feel secure living here. We were also seeking a place that allowed us to make our own decisions without excessive government interference, and El Salvador provided that freedom.    As someone from Brazil, I wanted my children to experience Latin culture and learn Spanish, and this country offered the perfect opportunity for cultural exposure and growth.   El Salvador stands out as a nation moving in a positive direction, with family and God remaining important aspects of the culture. Join me as I discuss our decision-making process and the benefits of living in this beautiful country.  https://julianabarbati.ck.page/el-salvador-guide   Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1363737717787087 Telegram: t.me/bitcoinersinelsalvador   And if you’d like to have a 1:1 with either one (or both of) us, you can do so here: https://calendly.com/julianabarbati/el-salvador-call
