Hi guys, I'm an American from L.A. and I am living in MVD. In my opinion in Urugay there is a better quality of life than the United States. I disagree that MVD is boring, on the contrary, I find it a vibrant city. Montevideo is very large, from Cerro to Solymar 40km (coastal), and from Punta Carretas to La Paz 20km (south to north).
Hi Mike! - Thank you for your view and comment! - This is great to hear. We generally have this opinion about Montevideo because of our experience traveling across many other Latin American countries and cities. --- We did feel the development and sense of safety were on pare with the US overall. But, it was equally a bit empty and not as much going on. Not necessary a pro or a con, just different. It was refreshing, however, to see a Latin American country that is more modernized. Thank you for your perspective!
Vibrant city?! Now that's funny 😂😂🤣 Buenos Aires is vibrant, Montevideo? Not so much! I wonder if we missed out the parts that were happening in MVD. Could you please share some tips for our next visit? 🙏🏻
head east to Rocha my friends. My wife and I are Canadian by birth I was a flight attendant for 17 years Uruguay is where we chose after years of searching - Magic 2 years in our retirement now residents of UY
We love this tip! - In general, I think it would be hard for us not to be closer to mountains in the long run. We crave the mountains all the time. But Uruguay was calm and develop to our desired standards.
I love Rocha. I am in love with Montevideo, it is a mix of: Gotham City, NY, Saint-Tropez and Napoli (the neighborhoods towards Vesuvius). The quality of life in Uruguay impacted me. without a doubt a magical country! 💙💛💙
I understand and respect your point of view. As a Uruguayan living in the U.S. I find it kinda funny you guys mentioning so many times how expensive Uruguay is. I live in the Washington D.C. area and I think it is very expensive to live here and the problems with crime and the homeless here is a bit overwhelming. I guess from you guys comparing to Bogota, Santiago, Lima and Buenos Aires I am sure Montevideo and Uruguay itself is more expensive than those cities. Personally I feel Uruguay is less expensive than what I spend here in the U.S. and in many areas such as food, the qua;lity of the food I eat in Uruguay is superior than here, meats, fruits and veggies are much better quality in uruguay, and so I eat there and reason that I am paying less than here and eating better quality for less money. As far as being safe, yes its safe depending on the neighborhood or area, D.C. has been a dangerous area to be in, shootings every day, car theft, drug problems etc.
This is a fair statement. We lived in Dallas Texas for 6 years and we are comparing our preferences against all these different places and cities. I could imagine that DC is a lot more expensive than Dallas, it seems so through just some simple Google searches. But if you compare Montevideo to many other Latin American cities, it is quite more expensive.
As an Uruguayan living in Rochester, NY i can also agree with you @marossi0814. Quality of life in Montevideo is higher than Lima and Buenos Aires. If you want to live better you have to spend more.The quality of the food you eat in Uruguay is way superior than United States. Voy a llevar a mi esposa y dos hijos a Uruguay en dos semanas y si todo sale bien iremos a ver Uruguay contra Ecuador por las eliminatorias. Uruguay Noma!!! Saludos!
Montevideo, es una ciudad europea dentro de América Latina, una sociedad de clase media que es la mayoría de nuestro país. Muy culta, con leyes a lo largo de nuestra historia muy liberales. Les falto recorrer varios barrios como el Prado, Punta Carretas o Carrasco. Si somos un país caro, pero con una agitada actividad cultural con excelentes centros de salud de primer nivel incluso los públicos y con un sistema financiero muy amigable para el extranjero. Gracias por el video y por las críticas que son sinceras. Pero les falto comentar creo que lo mas importante de todo es como los trataron los Uruguayos. Saludos
No intentes convencerlos de nada amigo; simplemente no conectaron con las vibras de la ciudad y no es culpa de la ciudad ni de su gente. Suele suceder cuando se está en otra frecuencia. A veces conectas con la ciudad y con su gente desde el primer minuto, a veces solo con la ciudad y no con la gente y viceversa. Pero si no conectas con nada ya ni te dan ganas de conocer más nada porque ya das por hecho de que no te gustarán por mucho que te lo recomienden. Particularmente me pasó lo mismo con Paris, que con toda su fama, y sus sitios históricos, las vibras fueron completamente negativas, especialmente con la gente. Y cuando estás en esa frecuencia negativa, no tienes ni siquiera la suerte de encontrar un croassant que te sepa rico, y así vas sumando una seguidilla de sucesos negativos que solo te entran ganas de irte lo antes posible. En síntesis, es la persona, no la ciudad ni su gente, y creo que todos están en su derecho de percibir las cosas como les surja. Tampoco creo que se tenga control sobre eso ya que muchos ni siquiera pueden entender lo que les pasa, como el hecho de que a ti te gusten ciertas cosas que a otros no.
Si, definitivamente es una ciudad que me interesaba mucho conocer! Crecí escuchando cosas increíbles de Uruguay y me causaba mucha curiosidad como vive la gente en este país. Los uruguayos nos trataron muy bien, algunos súper curiosos de donde veníamos. Nos sentimos muy bienvenidos y muy respetados. Muchas veces no comentamos nuestras experiencias con la gente del país, pero lo vamos a tener en cuenta para futuros videos! Gracias por el apoyo ☺️
Estoy de acuerdo contigo, cuando energía no está en la misma frecuencia es difícil conectar. Aunque disfrutamos nuestro tiempo en Montevideo y nuestra experiencia no fue negativa, en este momento de nuestras vidas estamos buscando algo diferente ☺️
Well, on the issue of cannabis and public health. I think I'll rather have a liberal drug policy, that than a destructive drug crisis with a lot of premature deaths as in the US. Another thing that you did not mentioned and might now know regarding the "smoke" issue is that Uruguay has a very restrictive policy on tobacco. That made the country to confront a dispute settlement against Philip Morris. Uruguayan government won the case. About Montevideo not having "latin vibrancy", I think that Uruguayans are grateful for that, and want that to continue that way. Its a QoL issue.
Thank you for the view and comment! --- We are totally pro legalization of soft drugs like marjuana. It creates more issues to criminalize people for something that can be done safely in a controlled circumstance. Like chilling on your couch... However, we don't like that it is accepted in public places... We saw it in the street, on the beach, in the parks, etc. Fair points about "Latin vibrancy". That could still be defined more... But the looseness that Latinos have in most over countries makes it loose in every part of society, we have noticed that too.
@@lifetheorycouple Uruguay was the first country to legalize it, now in many cities in the U.S. have legalized it as well and you smell it throughout the city. In the next decade you will see this more and more across the world.
Hi! Thank you for your view and comment. We’re currently in Dallas, hope you are enjoying this TX summer! Do you know of a place where we can go get empanadas uruguayas? ☺️
@@lifetheorycouple there is this place in Irving that calls Empa Mundo, is not an Uruguayan but I don't see any different ,they have like around 10 different flavors , rich in flavor juicy and of course Texas size!
Hi, nice video, a couple of things to clarify, Uruguay is expensive, yes, of course, it is a matter of a small market and high taxes, but it has other benefits, for example, education is free Up to university level, and of good quality, as well as health, it is paid for with labor taxes, the social security system is very good, and labor laws are at the European level, in terms of leave and unemployment insurance, and I agree that it is somewhat boring, but Uruguay is not only Montevideo or the south of the country, there are beautiful places in the rest of the country, such as thermal tourism in the North or the cave and river areas, you should know more about the country, greetings
Only two cities over world i found similar to Montevideo: Barcelona and La Coruña (Spain). The waterfront and kilometers of coastal beaches and drive options is unique. But, Montevideo is the only country capital. Barcelona isnt. La Coruña isnt.
Thank you for such a great perspective! - I will definitely reflect on this when finally make our way to Spain. Barcelona is a city I've been very curious about.
Thank you for the view and comment! - I would say, it's worth a day or two if you spend time in Buenos Aires. Especially summer time. Because the beaches are quite nice.
Thank you! --- We were saying 'hangry' not 'hungry'... It's a slang term meaning angry + hungry at the same time in English. Basically meaning, you are very angry as a result of being very hungry.
La ciudad postal de uruguay se llama punta del este ,q se ve q ustedes no fueron ,Montevideo si bien es hermosa tiene gente en sus calles con problemas de addicciones severas q no van a los refugios o shelters y son las q sacan la basura de los containers rayan paredes ,vandalizan la ciudad ,por lo q vi ustedes no conocieron casi nada ,no fueron al barrio del prado donde esta el museo blanes o el de arte precolombino ,ni fueron al teatro solis ,conocer el mercado del puerto o el mercado agricola ,el barrio de punta carretas donde existe una movida cultural interesante ,el barrio de carrasco ,el mercado agricola ,el palacio legislstivo ,ni siquiera un citytour ,en montevideo hay restaurantes de comida de todo el mundo ,pero ustedes por ignorancia o por q es caro ,no fueron ,la verdad q nunca habia visto una pareja de youtubers o como se denominen ustedes tan sosa,no pueden tirar mierda a una ciudad q realmente la conocieron superficialmente y una parte y ademas uruguay tiene mucho mas q montevideo😂
De acuerdo contigo! Nos faltó muchísimo por ver. Teníamos muchísimas ganas de ir a Punta del Este, pero los dos trabajamos tiempo completo y solo dos fines de semana no fueron suficiente para conocer 😞
I feel like y'all had a negative preconceived opinion of Montevideo and did not give it a fair chance. I wish there was more positive information, other than just hearing how boring and expensive it is. Also, how long has it been since y'all lived in Dallas? Prices have definitely gone up in the area.
Hi! Thank you! - We were in Dallas for the summer this year, after this trip. We must say, prices felt very similar between Montevideo and Dallas. But we are also comparing our experience to spending a lot of time in Colombia. Colombia is much more affordable comparatively. --- But, if we asked ourselves a more straight forward question, like, what we live in Dallas of Montevideo in the long run?... Montevideo would win due to the fact you don't need to own a car to live an do normal things. Plus, you have beaches, which Dallas does not. --- We try not to travel places with a preconceived opinion, but is sometimes impossible because people hype up places.
Yes! Exactly! - Since we move around the world, literally, many people don't really know where Dallas or Texas is... believe it or not. So, speaking to an international audience, I always specify the country as well.
We had exactly the same impressions as you. Expensive, boring, safe, nice, beautiful malecon, probably a good standard of living for residents. Just does not compare well with Buenos Aires. One and done for us - 4 day visit was 1 day too long.
@@lifetheorycouple We spent a day in Colonia, but that's probably the only thing I could recommend. We saw pretty much everything we wanted to or felt was worth the money in Montevideo and happily went back to Buenos Aires!
Montevideo has a lot of nice places to visit, museums, theaters, parks, restaurants, cafés, bars, clubs, malls, markets, stadiums, beaches, gardens, historical buildings, etc, etc. And there's always something going on, like festivals, expositions, concerts, and many other different events. I don't think 4 days is enough to really discover everything the city has to offer.

Muy culta, con leyes a lo largo de nuestra historia muy liberales.
Les falto recorrer varios barrios como el Prado, Punta Carretas o Carrasco.
