Why I Moved to Uruguay - International Living

It was probably just a matter of time before it happened to me. Real estate agents who take a vacation after going too long without one can get carried away. They may return with a tattoo, a vision-quest name, or a new mate they met at a blackjack table. Me? I returned telling everyone I was moving to the South American country of Uruguay.
I initially went from Washington State, where I lived, for a long needed getaway and to investigate the potential for real estate referrals and investment. But while I was in Uruguay I experienced some unexpected surprises. Like in Montevideo, Uruguay's capital.
It has Spanish influences and native traditions—as I expected to find in a Latin America city. But it also has neoclassic architecture and strong Italian influences, which I didn't expect. Uruguayans meet for pizza, greet each other with a kiss on the cheek, and speak Spanish with an Italian-like intonation. There is even opera.
Uruguay's southern coast is dotted with beach towns that fill up with vacationers in the summer. I spent time in Punta del Este, the largest beach resort in Uruguay.
Punta del Este is like a buffet of things I like. There is natural beauty, surfing, great places to run and cycle, and interesting people to meet. It has a relaxed elegance that reminds me of Santa Barbara.
