As the first of a series on Expats in Uruguay @Guru’Guay talks to a British-born economist about what attracted him as an expat in Uruguay to living in the gated communities of Canelones since 2019. Alexis discusses the pros and cons of living outside the capital, a typical week for the parents, education options for the children and the cost of living. He also touches on living next door to baby owls and the starry skies.
