(I really enjoyed Agosto's post, the one following this one) Since I do not reside in CR, need your help, as long as you are not promoting land or real estate!

Click on to http://central-america-forum.com/forum-topic/crime-el-salvador#comment-2119 is a post that lead into a thread with comments from women living on their own in El Salvador, pro and con opinions here, gives great advice in detail over relocating to El Salvador, central America or just about anywhere in Latin America, I am a divorced male and arrived to Mexico with a suitcase in 1985, later I got my residency and went to States, got my car and drove it down, full of 'things' I finally sold at cost or gave away to charity. I now have a 'Good, Bad and Ugly' Ex Pat, travel and volunteering bloq ready to be edited, anyone in Central and south America who has had either very positive or negative experiences relocating from US, Canada, Australia, NZ, UK or EU countries, unilingual, bi lingual or multilingual are welcome to share along with me, the format is Wordpress, the dominion name is http://centralamericatraveltips.info, have a server with web mail, not 'yahoo' nor 'hotmail', only require someone to ftp occasionally and plan on putting up Google Ads so we all make a little extra on the site. There will be a section for Ex Pats who have already made the transition, newbie Ex Pats, wannabe Ex Pats, driving to Central and south America from US and Canada, be grateful when I first arrived in 1985, communications with family and friends was not easy and expensive, bank transfers took 3 weeks minimum, on the upside there was less crime, no 'gangs', people made lifefong friendships and stuck together, few people even had cable tv in the cities, we gathered and told stories in the oral tradition and airfares out of major airports to and from States were often very low. Times change, people do not.
'Discover the UnDiscovered' No Ex Pat promoters of land and real estate, please, there are many websites and forums for you to advertise on.
I teach a course online of import and export for anyone who needs an extra income, fill in their time sans local 'work permit' for those wishing to volunteer have a long list of NGOs and projects located in Central and South America you can try out at no cost and extra information if planning traveling around your new country or region - recommended. If you reside in the USA or Canada I have a MagicJack and able to call you at my own expense, I live on a fixed income and after 25 years still have few 'things' to tie me down. saludos, lets share..I resided several years in Guatemala and visit Ex Pat and local friends there frequently, connections and long term friendships are more inportant in Latin America than up north.
