	Uruguay with a Family

Posted by: urmovingwhere, 3:20 AM GMT on Agosto 07, 2009

We are enjoying the expat life in Uruguay with our almost-two-year-old daughter. I imagine that that our lifestyle will be second nature for her, although a very different experience for us.

One of the main differences right now for us is reversed seasons in the Southern Hemisphere. We are seeing that ads are coming out in the USA for "End of Summer/Back to School" sales. It seems so odd that it is winter here and nearly spring, where the northern half of this world is enjoying summer/almost fall.

That summer weather lasted about 8 weeks and now we are enjoying the cool, crisp early winter days, with chilly nights. Not the best time to get acquainted with the city but it is still beautiful here...crunchy leaves on the ground and the smell of burning fire wood in the air. It see...

	Welcome!

Posted by: urmovingwhere, 12:36 AM GMT on Mayo 25, 2009

We are a young expat family living in Montevideo, Uruguay. We blog to share our experiences setting up a life abroad with a toddler and two dogs. We moved for the adventure and experience, not due to a corporate relocation or new job assignment. In fact, since we are both self employed, we rely heavily on technology to keep us in touch with our clients in the USA. We share our knowledge of technological tools that make the this type of lifestyle possible as well ...
