Bring Home More Than Your Degree! Bring Home the Life You Built Abroad
Completing your education abroad is one of life’s greatest achievements. Returning to El Salvador should be equally exciting not complicated or stressful.
My name is Titi Ortiz, and before joining BFI El Salvador as a Relocations & Sales Executive, I spent four and a half years studying in Mexico.
Living abroad was an incredible and transformative experience. Adapting to another culture, meeting people from different backgrounds, creating new connections, and becoming more independent helped me grow both personally and professionally. It also opened doors to opportunities I had never imagined.
Four and a half years abroad represents much more than a period of study. During that time, your apartment becomes your home, and the belongings you collect become part of your story.
Your Belongings Are Part of Your Journey
When students return to El Salvador, they often face an important decision: what should they do with the furniture, books, clothing, electronics, decorations, gifts, and souvenirs they accumulated while living abroad?
Many consider selling or giving everything away because they assume transporting their belongings will be too difficult or expensive. However, those possessions may represent years of experiences, friendships, travels, achievements, and memories.
As I reflected during my interview:
“Those belongings are not only material things. They are what made up my home during the time I lived abroad.”
Bringing them back to El Salvador means preserving an important part of your journey and giving those belongings a second life in your new home.
Before selling, donating, or leaving everything behind, let BFI El Salvador evaluate your shipment and explain the relocation options available to you.

Under El Salvador’s Special Law on Migration and Human Mobility, eligible Salvadorans returning from abroad—including qualifying students may receive customs-duty and tax benefits when importing personal belongings.
These benefits are subject to the requirements, documentation, deadlines, and conditions established by Salvadoran authorities. Each case must be evaluated individually before the shipment is dispatched.

More Than Moving Boxes
Today, as part of the BFI El Salvador team, I have the opportunity to connect with people from different countries and support them during important transitions in their lives.
That is what makes relocation so meaningful to me.
We are not simply transporting boxes, furniture, or household goods. We are moving the objects that made a place feel like home: the books that accompanied your studies, furniture from your first apartment, gifts from friends, souvenirs from your travels, and belongings connected to unforgettable moments.
Every shipment has a person, a home, and a story behind it.
“These belongings are part of my path in life part of my experience as a student and now as a professional.”
At BFI El Salvador, we understand the emotional and practical value of your belongings. Our goal is to bring them home safely while providing clarity, confidence, and professional support throughout the process.
