vegan in Portland here. our friends just moved to Montevideo. she said there's meat everywhere but I'd probably be okay given it's a big city and there are lots of choices.

Enjoy the country!!!

👍🏻 Spot on .. Thanks for sharing ❣️. Uruguayan living in USA but we own a condo in Punta del Este .. getting ready to move back.. and taking the appropriate apparel .. which is wayyy less expensive here. 54 years here. It’s going to be an adjustment but I know deep in my heart that my Soul and the quality of my life will be 💯 times better. ❤❤❤

I'm curious about what neighborhoods you ended up recommending to them.

Wow. This is really good to know. Makes me reconsider going there.

Yes😁👍🏼🙌🏖🌊☀️

Wondering if it would be possible to get contact information for your real estate agent, Ignacio? We are hoping to move from the U.S. to Montevideo soon.

Any recommendations on real estate agents/listing sites?

Hello! I am from Uruguay living in US, I am planning to move back to Uruguay but I have two dogs, a Great dane and a mix Pitbull, one too big and the other one is a restricted breed. I was thinking about driving as a possibility. Is there a chance I could get in touch with you guys to ask some questions about the trip, time, cost and safety while driving? Thanks so much!

Hi, my wife and I we’re about to move to Uruguay into the same area, I was born there but I only leave there for 8 years of my life, now we are retired and we going back home to see and experience the country and people, I can wait to be there

Nice people and amazing journey! I would like to ask if some of you know about a good an affordable moving company to transport my belongings from the States to Uruguay? Any suggestion will b highly appreciated. 👍

Can you recommend a Spanish immersion course in Uruguay ?

The irony of a Brirish person complaining about the quality of another country's food...

How stupid are they not to build properly insulated homes

Americans are really good at being trained by their dogs. 🙂

Exists many supermarkets, Disco, devoto, tienda Inglesa AND Macro Market.

Los amo, son re tiernos

Well...I guess you have not been to any 15th birthdays party or weddings, because we do dress up for this kind of events, we also dress nicely if you go to some theatres, or certain restaurants, but I think high heels are just mostly for parties, although I know people that wear them all the time just because they are short. The buildings are not poorly built, in the past the construction was different just because the weather was different ,that's why you can see or find central heating in some if not all the new buildings.

This videos are very interesting, that being said I think there is a difference between being lazy,and being laid back. I don't think we are (Uruguayans) lazy but yes I think we are laid back, or chill like the guy says it.Each job is different and have different demands, and of course one of the beauty of Uruguay is exactly the pace of life.I don't think that to do paper work takes more time than in other countries it is not easy to go through a process of residency and it was very fast for this guy because it does take years to get it ,and makes sense of course. Uruguay is expensive depends what you compare to,and people survive quiet well even if they don't work in any of the industries mentioned in the video,ask the many Cubans that live in Uruguay. I guess depends what you are used to.

Yo me compre una casa en un barrio de Montevideo, ahora tenemos que venderla porque no podemos vivir escuchando el ladrido de los perros de los vecinos, respecto a los grafitis tienes toda la razón, afea mucho la ciudad, pero parece que las autoridades no opina n lo mismo!

Uruguayan government MUST remind to those people to not bring any dangerous ideology to Uruguay. They will spoil the country if they bring the theocracy.

Two questions for Pam and Kieran: How did you get around the Darién Gap? And are you refugees, or just retirees, for now?

You all seem so lovely 🥺 saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾

Houses aee properly insulated in UK?? Hahahahha

Uruguay, for sure in my bucket list!. Thank you!

Very very nice couple. They are welcome in my country. Old city is very kind, as other neigbourhoods. You don´t need to live in Carrasco, Pocitos and other near the sea. In fact, in Ciudad Vieja you can visit everyday the Sarandí escollera. You chose the better healthcare, as La Española. Another time: Welcome to Uruguay!!!

What an awesome couple. Thank you guys for sharing your account and views on Uruguay. We definitely need more people like you in our country. SEAN BIENVENIDOS.

Drive to south america? How'd they get around the darian gap?

Me gusta mucho ver extranjeros disfrutando de mi país ❤. Me gustaría practicar English conversation😊

kisses for u all... uruguay el mejor país! ..jeje

Welcome to Uruguay!! But you missed to name your restaurant and the adress!

As an Uruguayan myself I would be surprised of people from certain places (particularly the US) would like to come live down here, specially because the so high cost of living, but then I had the chance to travel to California on September 2024, after 14 years without visiting the US and I was SHOCKED about how expensive everything has become over there. There are certain things that remain more expensive here but in general the cost of living has become even. If you put into this equation that an extremely top-notch health insurance (with no co-pays whatsoever) will cost you around USD 400 down here (and again, I am talking about the most expensive ones you can get, there are far cheaper options with co-pays or around USD20 - 50 for an specialist appointment or X-rays, and that would bring the monthly fixed cost down to USD150 or 200 and still on the premium insurances) then the option becomes more reasonable. I wouldn't live in the Old City though, as I am used to open spaces and living by the beach. I consider the Old city dirty and not very safe but that's up to each one's personal cup of tea. I would totally consider retiring in Punta del Este instead! 90 minutes away from Montevideo it get's crowded just in January and the rest of the year it has all the advantages of a city but remains so peaceful. Cheers to @lauracanepa, we were coworkers!

"Wow, great interview! This was the first video I watched on your channel, and I was really impressed. I obviously binged on some other videos after that. I think the TH-cam algorithm should treat you better- You are amazing. great content!"

Atlantida es hermosa!

Yo he ido a la playa con chaqueta y biquini por debajo 😂

I have never heard of anyone having a bad experience buying a property in Uruguay and there are so many different real state companies, I am surprise they don't trust them, some probably are in the States like Remax,anyway I guess is what you are used to.Anyway,glad you are happy here.

Dude is from Pakistan, lived in Russia, now lives in Uruguay, and did this interview in english. I wonder how many languages he knows?

What a great interview. Wish you guys the best while here in UY. The one way comment got me laughing so hard! So true!

that's so great to see this video. I will move to Montevideo soon and I'm brasilian, with the uruguayan cedula already, but the informations you gave here are precious, especially related to real state. Maybe I will look for your agent if you dont mind, and if you could give me this contact... Thanks for the video.

London calling for you !!

600 USD is exactly my salary 😂

Si pueden cambiarse de la Española a Cosem, Cosem es mejor el servicio tiene muchos medicos, atiende pir convenuo con El Mautone en Maldonado y los tickets son mucho más baratos. En Uruguay todos los médicos hablan Inglés porque muchos libros bienen en ese idioma. Aparte en la Española se entra por ser amigo de alguien no por oposición y meritos. Yo fui socia de la española y trabajé en la Española, soy socia de cosem y doy fe que tofo es mejor.

If you are IT trained and you do not mind the slow pace of living it is one of the best countries in the world in my opinion.

TODO cierto 😂 Muy bueno

No es cierto que no sea transparente la compra de yn apto. Ya el hecho que sea necesario la intervencion de un escribano da fe.

I'm also 100 % uruguayan and agree with you another 100 %

Thank you for sharing your experience!

I miss Cosco and target 🎯 I live for two years in Uruguay but not culturally only beaches to windy right now I am in Argentina going to Spain. Good luck guys ❤

uruguayan tech companies have started hiring foreigners because they are less likely to leverage the labor laws. sad.
