I live in Montevideo, Uruguay and i’m really interested on why would you like to live here? I was born here and think it’s a nice little place but would like to have the perspective from someone from the “outside”.
How is it living there? I'm from Buenos Aires, but I'm seriously thinking of leaving. Being close and much freer Uruguay is a natural choice, but I'm not entirely sure. Would you recommend emigrating to Montevideo?
Definitely! It has a much slower peace than BsAs, but quality of life is pretty good plus it’s quite stable economically and socially speaking. If you are in the tech industry you will have plenty of work, and if you export software you have some nice tax exceptions. Judging from the outside and being your neighbor, i’m quite worried about the direction Argentina is headed right now.
It's pretty worrysome. And it's not just the economy that's tanking. The way the government is limiting more and more freedoms every day is quite concerning. I think you guys have a much stronger tradition of upholding freedom, so I might move there once restrictions are lifted.
