Moving to Montevideo

22 years ago
Hi,

I'm moving to Montevideo in January. Having travelled there fairly frequently, there won't be a high degree of culture shock, but I do have a few concerns. First of all, I need to find a job, which I know is not easy in the times of economic turmoil. Ideally, I'd love to teach English - but the problem is that I can't set anything up before I get there.

The other concern is $$$. I honestly don't want to put my money in the local banks. However, if I were to rely on ATMs, I'd lose out due to the exchange rate (I'd want dollars, not pesos).

I'd appreciate any advice on the above topics, as well as any other helpful tips.

Saludos,
Margaux
