Poor country does not always mean cheap! Angola and many other poor African countries are actually more expensive to travel than Switzerland and Iceland, a while ago Luanda, Angola was named the most expensive city in the world to travel to. El Salvador looks awesome! And actually not too expensive either.

I've always dreamed about Australia since I was a kid and I finally made it there last November! I was there for the whole month. It was expensive! Especially the car hires and the transport fee from Brisbane to Melbourne which I didn't know about LOL... But now that I'm back home all I can think about is saving up more money and going back to Australia! My 3 year old nephew had his birthday at Australia Zoo! We really loved it! And we can't wait to go back! We especially loved our 13 days spent in Tassie! Incredible island!

My personal opinion is that El Salvador is a very good example of conversion from being a violent and insecure country to becoming a safe country with controlled crime. This thanks to the good management of the situation by its government. As for Bitcoin, I don't see much future in it, since almost nobody in that small country use Bitcoins and very few businesses accept it In terms of tourism, it is still 25 years away from being able to become a modest and interesting tourist destination. Right now it does not have the conditions at all. According to some international news, 99.9% of its tourism comes from Salvadorans who live in the USA and return to visit their family and friends.

You need to go to El Tunco. "Bitcoin Beach" is an initiative to help the community using Bitcoin investment. El Tunco is the tourist beach where all the action is. All of the people who stay at the other beaches in the area go over to El Tunco, so the rooms in El Zonte will be full, but the beach will be empty.

You captured the moment @0:14 and I said: Yup, that's how I'd roll. Even THAT guy would probably tell me where to buy a mechanically sound bike. A cargo basket might be a negotiation - but not exactly required either. Then, getting from town to town MIGHT be done on a bus - but really @0:44 you've shown another way to solve that problem. There's a cheap long bus ride from Guate to Florence that'll take a few bikes - maybe you'd need a 12 ft cord to haul it to the roof - but it's nice enough to see the colorful macaw groups alongside the road. Tikal, of course, is highly recommended. A hammock might help - even those $3 macrame ones might do ( and be easy to carry ). A mosquito veil and a couple long sleeved garments might be a minimum though. 🌲😎🌲

I prefer sandy colored beaches but I guess their black sand is due to El Salvador having volcanoes. Black sand comes from eroded volcanic materials such as lava, basalt rocks and other dark-colored rocks and minerals. Black sand beaches are typically found near volcanic activity. Also, having to walk on those huge rocks to reach the beach and water/ sea would be a deterrent to most people. It looks like you could fall, especially if you are an old or older person than you Gabriel, and not as fit.

Hi Gabriel, Nice to see a beach for a change those rocks are put there on purpose at least it seems that way. Could it be the rocks are a barrier from people coming onto the shore with long boats and no pier line? I bet most people don't realize how surfing is a big sport around the world just recently they held the World ISA World Surfing Games in Puerto Rico where Brazil won the overall competition against the world the U.S. came in eighth place it's an interesting sport. El Salvador is getting a World Longboat Championship coming in April in El Sunzal and in May and the World Junior Surfing Championship La Bocana/ Sunzal.

"Being jerked around mentally" I think you hit the nail on the head there. I think the entire crypto thing was just people getting addicted to dopamine hits, just like in a casino basically. That is the subtle difference between "liking money" and getting addicted. Of course people first get in by the prospect of making a nice return of investment, but thats not why they keep doing it. Also thats why the whole thing took such a flight during the pandemic: Lots of people with disposable money and sitting bored at home. Id say steer well clear of all that. If you truly believe Bitcoin or Etherium or whatever is a great idea, just buy some and leave it be for later when you retire I suppose. If you are starting with the whole buying, selling, checking everything daily... well.. It probably means you need a more interesting job, a solid hobby or a nicer girlfriend, you know, things that actually affect your life in a positve way.

I noticed that comment too and found it interesting to think about. It makes me wonder about the idea of money as a store-of-value across different time periods. The volatility he comments on has to do with BTC's failure, so far, as a store-of-value for short-term time periods. This is stark contrast with its success, so far, as a store-of-value for long-term time periods.

Maybe, but I took an Uber today that was almost the same distance and time, from El Zonte to the airport and it was only $33.

Don't worry about the price of Bitcoin. It is denominated in paper money. The goal is just to keep "stacking sats" / buying Bitcoin. Buy it when the price is down. Then you can just HODL (hold on to it) or sell it high and buy back when it is low. But it is easier to not care about the price, but DCA or buy the dips.

Bitcoin best treated as long term savings. Trading is a difficult game. Buy and hold for many years.

Nice one Gabriel. Well if you do ever get back into bitcoin, do plenty of research first and find trustworthy information sources especially on when to buy, where to buy, where to store it and how to keep your security tight! It's played a role in my retirement plan alongside stock investments. It would definitely be worth investing some of your income into low cost index funds on the stock market. The simplest way to prepare for retirement imo. NFA! 😅

Did you book online?? Two years ago I stayed at a cabana on the beach and it was $40 for the night but I booked in person.

In A Coruña in Spain at the beach it is just 35 EUR. Normally 50 EUR in Spain. In Rome and Istanbul 25 EUR . In Madrid however I have paid 130 EUR one time. All good rooms with bathrooms. Do not get in either. Again, asking at the reception is always the cheapest by far. You can save 10 EUR easily.. Nicaragua I think is cheap...

Having followed Gabriel for more than a decade I have often wondered how such a well travelled fit and relatively young guy copes with the loneliness of his chosen profession...occasionally a gal pops up but invariably it is Gabriel Aleine....unless there's a hidden wild clubbing side that emerges after he posts his vids....I secretly hope so!!!
