Complete exhaustive interview of an undoubtedly beautiful person who has found a beautiful country, I would like to add her as a neighbor in my next return project. Thanks
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
Enjoyed that convo. Since we moved here we've become excellent Indian cooks...recommend stocking up on Indian spices next time you're in NYC and tucking a Madhur Jaffrey cookbook under your arm - and you'll be all set. With the fresh veggies here in Uruguay, the raw ingredients can't be beat.
Hey Dianne, so glad you enjoyed the convo and so right about the great veggies here. However, perhaps this will be a good tip for you: I no longer buy spices when I travel after discovering the Butter Chicken Lady's recipes www.newyorker.com/culture/annals-of-gastronomy/the-butter-chicken-lady-who-made-indian-cooks-love-the-instant-pot. The secret is grinding the spices yourself. Nowadays you can get pretty much all the spices needed here in Montevideo. -- Karen
Thanks! Yes, Karen has such interesting considered comments to make on her life in Uruguay. Fortunately there are quite a few world cuisine restaurants nowadays in the capital as you said. Though they were not common even 6-7 years ago. We're much luckier now with our choices.
I love your interview Of this beautiful lady .Karen I just want to say For our English speaking people is that uruguay is a immigrant Country .so I will think that being Born in uruguay of decendent of Italians and Spaniards We understand .great video and I’ll say it again you will find peace and tranquillity in its people good luck in uruguay we need people like you guys in uruguay that’s what make uruguay so great. welcome to your home Cheers 🥂 From Florida USA 🇺🇸
Ty 4 sharing ur story. As a born Uruguayo but having grown up in the states I'm looking forward to returning in March to explore my homeland to split my year in. Happy ur eating fish as well and I hope you try the churasco soon ❤
Thanks, Karen, I know some of the players in this story and very very similar to our experience here in Uruguay. We live in San Antonio in Rocha and most of our surrounding areas La Paloma Rocha Pedrera. Google Translate does work and everyone has it. Never a reason not to play or watch the game and you can always learn Spanish. We have very few language issues over here. Veterinarians, Car service, doctors, groceries hardware we all get bye, know what you want be mindful and polite and all things end and begin again with smiles. Immigration process and health checks and health insurance do get complicated so a Spanish Speaker. Funny I have cholesterol medication, I went into the local Pharmacia and the Rx was done with a smile over the counter no doctor visit was required. We are in Rocha so we went with Comero for insurance coverage. Rocha is the anchor for our Comero medical service, clinics in Pedrera and La Paloma. I am 66 years old my Comero is 2700 pesos 90 Canadian my appointment for a prescription was 190 pesos My wife is 58 her coverage is the same for price. Her Optical Test appointment for a glasses prescription visit and checks were less than 50 USD. Agree with her take on UY. Jumping in the water is wonderful. The food you mention, we make all our own, fresh spices are all available here Curry Japanese Thai we make it all.
Welcome to our country...! I'm glad you've integrated well and are already part of the community. I live in Punta del Este. Anything you need, 'a las ordenes,' (at the orders) as we say here. There's a place in the center of Maldonado called Durdales, I believe. It's located at 963 25 de Mayo Street. They have a lot...a lot of spices. I've never bought from there because I don't usually eat spicy food, being a great-granddaughter of Italians and Uruguayan, I'm not used to eating spicy. But they seem to be good and have a wide variety. Once again, welcome, and have a good life!@@karenboltax6697
Hey John@@tubaljohn1 you can book a session with me whenever you are ready www.guruguay.com/private-consultations/. Have a look at the reviews to see the value that others have found. Cheers -- Karen (Guru'Guay)
Uruguay is EXACTLY how she feel, and described! Uruguayan people live their own pace, it’s a bit conservative that’s why make us different even from our brother Argentina. Where that lady lives is special and unique. I’ve being living in USA for 23 yrs and once I get retired, no doubts I will live in Punta., no doubts. Love Punta del Este!!♥️🇺🇾
Uruguay is now on the list of possible retirement destinations .....slower pace is a must ....I have learned to slow down butveveryone around me cant seen to get ut
Part of the reason u, see 4 people as part of a process that it'd take 1 elsewhere is the need and/or implied obligation to create employment as part of any business process including, of course, the public administration. I've seen in several of the countries I've lived in. It's not efficient for a just in time supply chain mindset but it'll never become like that in URY. HC insurance premiums are directly proportional to age and there is no cutoff age point to immigrate to URY. Great conversation and it's refreshing to see a clear eyed perspective on life in the countryside.
I'm curious to know about with the long distance from the US, how does she deal with being away from family, how often she gets visitors from the US and how often she visits the US. How about grandkids?
This is wonderful, so much information. May I ask about mosquitoes please. How do you deal with them? Are there more in the country, compared to the city? Thank you for you help.
You cannot really escape the mosquitoes here during the summer. Tho there are slightly less of them on cities. Easiest way to deal with them is instaling mosquiteros on windows and using bug repellents tablets or lotions.
Hey Kevin, and anyone curious regarding Kevin's comment, in the description below you will find links to our original articles on Jose Ignacio, including one entitled "José Ignacio - a billionaire playground with valet parking signs in the sand". All the best, Karen
Sorry but i must complain. First i thank you for all you do for Uruguay but i think you must put spanish subtitles. Estaría bueno ya que tu público es de ambas lenguas. Un abrazo grande y gracias.

Hi Drigger, each person interviewed in this series talks about the health system and costs. So you might want to watch the series. Plus check out: www.guruguay.com/living-in-uruguay/health-care-in-uruguay/ -- Karen
@@GuruGuay Right, but if you're coming the first time and don't know how long it if you'll get the residency visa, you're not going to move all your stuff yet until you actually get the residency, which could take up to a year......

Hello, I'm from California, I've lived in Uruguay for two years, I know a good part of the world despite being 27 years old. I know South Asia, Europe, and Mexico, Uruguay is the best place in the world, it is unique, few people, wild nature, good food, it is practically a beautiful meadow, on the negative side I will tell you that it is unsafe and very expensive. You can ask me anything.
Hi Catalina, thanks for sharing your comment. I agree that it is expensive (comparatively). In my experience as a foreigner living in Uruguay for the last 24 years, I have not found it unsafe. Hope you've had a great start to the year, Karen
If a retired couple wishes to first arrive in Uruguay as tourists from the US or Canada self-insuring because of the high cost of policies when over 65, and start the residency application process, does one then join a mutualista to get set up with Uruguayan health coverage??
Welcome to Uruguay 🇺🇾 With all due respect, if you want tacos go to Mexico, if you want Chinese food go to China, etc. Our food is delicious. If you want a fast life stay in the United States, if you want a calm and different life go or stay in Uruguay 😁🇺🇾❤️
I'm wondering if you watched the video? Karen's opinion on restaurant options in Uruguay was presented very fairly. She loves traditional Uruguayan food. She also likes variety, as most of us do. The reality is that though cuisine is much more varied nowadays in Uruguay (especially when I compare it to when I moved here in 2000), there's still not a huge selection. Who wants to have to go to China to eat Chinese food? 😉
Completelly agree. I wouldnt write it that nicely. I go straight to the point lol. Like stop deforming countries you immigrate in to look like sh!t you crawling from. But people dont have the judgement, and I dont have the class to spoon feed them gently like you do.
Heard to compare her experience with an average American that isn't coming from NY. NYC is so different from a more peaceful place in the US. I wonder what it would be like for someone coming from another more peaceful pace of life in the US and safer.
sounds a bit on the high side. 250 a month for insurance... I guess coming from California it's a great deal all around, but if you are living on a limited income that won't work.
Hi Annie, Uruguay as you've observed is not a cheap country. Karen lives in one of the most exclusive areas-near Jose Ignacio. Thanks for commenting! -- Karen
A Czech friend of mine living in Uruguay said: What happens to the loveliest Uruguayan granny when she gets behind the wheel of her car?? Jajaja Thanks for commenting, Maria!
Uruguay does not require a visa for US citizens, but its requirements for entry are still numerous, complicated, and costly. It does not welcome US visitors. For example, an American must have his entry documents translated to Spanish by a Uruguayan certified translator - for a fee, of course. English is not commonly spoken in Uruguay. If you don't speak Spanish, you cannot get along.
Here are the residency requirements: www.guruguay.com/living-in-uruguay/uruguay-residency/. Residency experts tend to agree that Uruguay is probably one of the easiest countries in the world to immigrate to and obtain residency. Basically you need a clean criminal record and a monthly income of around 1500 USD per person. As for speaking Spanish, well, yes, Spanish is the language of Uruguay, but as Karen mentions in her interview, she finds lots of people where she lives who speak English. It really depends on where you live. Cheers!
I wouldn't suggest news. It's often provided without the context necessary for someone who is unfamiliar with a country. Instead I recommend watching movies or series from Argentina or Uruguay to get the accent and keep the subtitles on in English first, and then when you are more confident change subtitles to Spanish.
Funny as an Uruguayan living in the States, I miss our food and I hate Mexican and Indian food for being too spicy, with flavors so disgusting like corn tortilla... yuck! I can not stand it, not even the smell... On the other hand It is so hard to find restaurants that have similar food as in Uruguay... the only good restaurants for me are the Argentinean, Italian, French (to some extent) and Spaniards... the rest SUCK!!! I edit to say I like some Asian food that I learned to eat here, but I am scare of those restaurants because once I went to one of them, and I got such an allergy to I don't know what... that it almost cost my life... It is not easy to adopt to other people's culinary....
Awww, that's terrible about the allergy. I hope you are fine. Your message shows your Uruguayez shining through jeje. A big hug and thanks for commenting -- Karen
In my experience, it depends on your season of life-and your interests. I live in Montevideo and there's always so much going on. For example, right now there is the international film festival going on. 79th edition, if I recall correctly. Tens of films to see every night from tens of countries. -- Karen
