My husband & I are thinking about living abroad in our retirement. After research, Uruguay looks attractive to us. I visited Montevideo years ago when I served in the Peace Corps in Brazil. My impression was that the city (buildings, double-decker buses, winter rain) reminded me of London. I understand summers are much different and, of course, many years have passed.
We would like to visit for a month or two before making a final decision. We want to live in a small house, apartment or hotel with kitchen facilities so that we will have to shop, cook, do laundry, etc, much as we would if we lived there.
Is anyone aware of places that rent monthly for a reasonable fee? Or would any expats consider renting us your home while you are traveling? We would consider any time of year, but prefer spring or fall.
We are very quiet people ---not into partying ---so we are not interested in resort areas, but would rather be in Montevideo.
This is just a preliminary inquiry. We are not ready yet. Perhaps we will make our visit in 2012 and, if we are satisfied, make a move in 2013.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
