Living El Salvador

We had everything we dreamed of in Canada. Our dream house, great work, successful growing business, family and friends which we left behind, to move to El Salvador for a healthier, slower and free life.

We are sharing our experiences, dreams, plans, failures, struggles and beauty of our life in El Salvador.

Hello, my name is Joanna. I was born in Poland, which I left when I was 14 years old to move to Canada in 1990, where I met my lovely husband, Alex (born in El Salvador). We have 2 boys (22 and 25 years old).

Our journey started in 2007, when we came to El Salvador with our boys (age 5 and 7 ) for the first time and I fell in love with it.

In 2009, we made the big and final move to sell and get rid of everything in Canada and move to El Salvador. In 2011, we have lost everything. Because of difficult and unexpected circumstances, we have been going/moving back and forth since then.
