Living in Uruguay | A baby in Carrasco, Montevideo

Hallie, 39, moved to Uruguay three years ago. She works for a luxury travel agency based in New York remotely. She and her Argentine husband chose to live in Carrasco, Montevideo's most upmarket neighbourhood. Full of green leafy boulevards and large pleasant homes, their lifestyle comes with a high price tag. Hallie earns extremely well, especially by Uruguayan standards, but is finding it impossible to save.

I believe that it’s very possible for Hallie to live a life she will love in another part of Montevideo for half of what she is spending in Carrasco. But that is for a consultation with Guru’Guay!

As the fourth of a series on Living in Uruguay Hallie talks to Karen A Higgs, CEO of @GuruGuay about the Uruguay healthcare system—last year she had a baby here. We talk about her experience, what healthcare costs and finding and arranging childcare. Hallie is from Ohio in the USA and lived in Barcelona and Buenos Aires for over a decade before moving to Uruguay.

I can’t thank Hallie enough for her openness to sharing her experience, so that others may benefit.

In our rapid fire round, Hallie shares her immediate thoughts on:

Life in Uruguay is …
The cost of living …
Uruguay wine…
Food in Uruguay…
Before I moved here that, I wish I had known…
The biggest difference between my life before and now…

HUGE THANKS to Hallie Neumann
