"Expats in Uruguay appreciate the laid-back lifestyle and the friendly people. They also enjoy the country's natural beauty, with its stunning beaches, rolling hills, and lush forests. The country's vibrant culture, with its unique music, art, and cuisine, is also a draw for many expats. Additionally, Uruguayans are known for their strong sense of community and hospitality, which makes it easy for expats to feel at home," said another expat in Uruguay.
"The lack of the fedral gummint's nose in my business. The fact that people here are more laid back & easygoing in their approach to life. The fact that there are no "old folks' homes" here. Old folks stay with the family until they die - they don't get farmed out for someone else to take care of because the family can't be bothered..," wrote a member who made the move to Punta del Diablo, Uruguay.
