She thought leaving the US to relocate to El Salvador was the change of pace she needed. I decided to return to my rootsWhile relocating to El Salvador, full-time would be new to me, visiting was not. I wasn't monetized on TikTok at the time, so my income while living in El Salvador came from finding freelance gigs. I earned around $35,000 in one year of freelancing, which was enough to live comfortably in El Salvador. Connecting with the community in El Salvador helped me feel reconnected to my purpose, and in my current position, I'm also helping assist my fellow community members.
