DESCRIPTION
In this video, I show the challenges of traveling around the world with a baby and pets. On our adventure, we get surprised by a variety of interesting situations, challenges and funny moments.
We get up early in Puerto Escondido so we can walk the dogs and take the taxi to the airport. There we check in the dogs using the certificate of good health we got at a local veterinarian. Once the dogs are checked in, our toddler enjoys some food and exercise so he's ready to have a great flight.
Once we take off from Puerto Escondido, we can enjoy a wonderful view of the ocean and beach town. During the flight, we make sure we entertain our son so he doen't get bored and stays in his seat.
Our travel itinerary includes a transfer in Mexico City. Despite our planning, everything turns out to be much more complicated and time intensive there. We can't freely move our belongings around the airport with a cart, and it takes hours to get a pet export certificate from SENASICA out of Mexico.
This leads to a heated argument with airline staff to try and get them to let us board the flight. WIthout any exception to be made, we spend the night at a hotel in Mexico City to return to the airport for the next morning flight.
The following day, we finally reach our destination of El Salvador. And we couldn't be happier to arrive.
Before June 2021, I could not point out El Salvador on a map, nor had I ever heard of Nayib Bukele, the country’s current president. So what happened to make me decide to give up almost everything in my life and go to a country I’d never heard about?
Well, at the end of the Bitcoin 2021 conference in Miami, Jack Mallers, founder and CEO of the Bitcoin payment company Strike, came onto the stage to make a special announcement. Mallers told the audience how spent a few months in El Salvador to roll out his product, helping Salvadorans keep more of their hard-earned money. He then uncovered that he’d been asked by Nayib Bukele, the El Salvadoran president, to advise on a law to make Bitcoin legal tender in El Salvador.
The government has launched Chivo Wallet, a Bitcoin wallet that works in conjunction with the Chivo ATMs scattered around the country. Salvadorans can now exchange Bitcoin for dollars and back. Salvadorans working abroad can also send remittance payments back home instantly and almost for free.
Bukele has announced Bitcoin City, a project to build a city in a special economic zone in the south of El Salvador. To attract foreign investments, the only tax people living in Bitcoin City will pay is a value added tax at 10%. The city is planned to be powered by geothermal energy from a nearby volcano.
Second, the country is going to offer Bitcoin Bonds, a true financial revolution in the way countries can potentially finance their development. The Bitcoin bonds are designed and launched together with Bitfinex and Blockstream, two major companies in the Bitcoin space.
