Living in Uruguay can prove to be great in general, and in particular for Americans.

For instance, you will find that living expenses in Montevideo are 3% less than those in Panama City.

Following are some of the reasons why…

• Being incredibly peaceful, Uruguay was voted “country of the year” in 2013.

• It’s an amazing democratic state, which offers the fundamental rights to everyone who lives there.

• It’s not over crowded, and people are free to simply go about their businesses.

• The country is politically stable.

• You can find people here from all around the world, so you’ll get to meet different people, make friends, and expand your horizons.

• Uruguay is surprisingly easy to get around in and you can travel pretty much in any way you want.

• Walk on foot, take a train, or even ride a bicycle.

• And you don’t have to worry about bumping into banditos like you might in other countries.

• Uruguay has wonderful daycares. It might seem foreign to leave your children in somebody else’s hands in a foreign country but many Americans grow to appreciate the level of care children get in Uruguay, often claiming it far superior to what they get back home.

• The east coast of Uruguay, in particular, is beautiful like nowhere else on earth.
