As volunteers, we receive just enough enough money for housing, food, and travel. If I stay in site, this money easily covers all of my expenses, with some left over. But when I travel to San Salvador, the money goes quickly. Staying in hotels, paying for cabs, and buying food at restaurants adds up. To cut costs, I stay at a $6 hostel instead of a hotel. I learned the bus routes and leave early, paying $0.25 for what can cost up to $7 a ride. And I eat at pupuserias instead of restaurants.

So today, at the end of my $0.25 bus ride, as I was walking back to my $6 hostel, I stopped and had dinner for $2.25. I was hungry, so I had five pupusas, accompanied by a deliciously over-sweetened mug of hot chocolate.

Luckily for my wallet, the bus routes reach every part of the city, there are plenty of cheap hostels, and a good pupuseria can be found on nearly every street corner.
