Is El Salvador Still Dangerous? I Went To Find Out (#143)

El Salvador. Being from Long Island in New York, you couldn't go through your life without meeting at least a few Salvadorans. But sadly, I never used to hear anything good about the country. I heard about the gang wars, about MS-13, about Barrio 18, about huge waves of migrants fleeing the country. It had the highest murder rate in the world for many of the last 30 years. El Salvador didn't seem like the kinda place you'd wanna visit.
But then I heard that things had changed. There's a new president with some very...unique ideas on public safety. Was it true? Was El Salvador really a different place now?
I had to go there to find out. And I would soon discover that I was quite popular in El Salvador, but not quite with who I imagined.

I've been traveling through Latin America and I've been in El Salvador the past couple weeks... I've been experiencing much of the same. It feels very safe and the locals are very grateful/optimistic about their country. Love to see it <3

I'm half Salvadoran and got to visit El Salvador with the whole family in 2016. It was dangerous not going to lie but we visited every summer regardless. When Bukele became president in 2019, we saw the instant differece in the following years. Last time we visited was in March of last year and we'll be visiting again in December for the holidays. Can't wait to see how much my country has changed. 🇸🇻

I don't think I've ever been as surprised by a country as I was by El Salvador. Me encanta! Can't wait for more dancing with old ladies and looking for Pilseners 🇸🇻

Next vid: Tommy is hired by the Salvadorian ministry of tourism and simultaneously appointed honorary citizen! No salt intended. I do believe you're doing a good thing updating the world on El Salvador.

I hope El Salvador’s tourism goes through the roof. They deserve it. How are the beaches?
