Living in El Salvador

Hello there !!!I decided to write about living in this small country called " EL SALVADOR" because first i'm from this country and because i know you guys need some help when it comes to visit a new country, so i guess my humble opinion will be helpful to you that are reading and needing some advices... 


 These are my suggestions :


 1. Bring some repelent, there are a lot of mosquitos that will cause some irritation in your skin specially at night.

 2. Gaps,sunglasses,shorts,sandals ,cotton t-shirts and a backpack will be your equiptment to manage yourself comfortable in the town. 

 3. If you have some nice celphones like Iphones or something that   seems to be expensive
( jewelry) better you don't bring it or don't show up when you are walking or hanging out in the street because thieves are always lurking.

 4. When you use public transportation be aware that drivers are quiet stressed out ,so if you want to pick a bus you should do the notification by wawing your hand and finger like when you ask for a ride to let them now you want to go inside the bus ,then i strongly recommend you to hold on because the driver will not care if you are already sitting down. Most of the buses cost $0.20 cents and also $0.25







 5. If you visit the downtown, i suggest you to walk fast because thieves are always lurking don't forget that,in the downtown you will find so nice prices in vegetables,fruits and some clothing. Be always aware to watch your back.







6. If you need other stuff like cleaning things ,medicine,tools and so on ,i recommend you to go to the supermarkets near the city.

Here are two of them :

Super Selectos

Despensa de Don Juan


7. If you need a place to stay and you want to save money ,that would depends on how much time you will be here.

There are sites where you can find rooms where you can stay ,but take a look carefully of the zones ,some zones rent rooms in a very cheap ammount of moeny, but because these can be dangerous for a foreign people to stay. Here you have the sites where you can look prices and pictures of rooms :

Clasficados Web El Salvador

If you will be here for few days or even a week there are a community of people in a group called "Couchsurfing" in this site there are persons that host foreign people in their houses and some of them don't ask for money ,also you can find people to hang out in the city ( i have a profile on there ) . Here it's the site if you are interested:
