Who is this not for

FAQ

Can’t I just hire a travel agent?

You can totally hire a travel company or agent. But it’s likely your travel agent has never stepped foot in Uruguay. Knowing how far is too far to drive and what you shouldn’t skip can only be answered by someone who has first-hand experience doing exactly what you want to do. Plus you’ll be talking to the person who literally Wrote. The. Books. The Guru’Guay Guides to Uruguay and Montevideo have 100s of five-star reviews.

  1. Henry Collins

    The consultation was definitely worth it. I’m from the UK and have practically no contacts in Uruguay. Karen has been able to put me in contact with someone to rent a room from as well as giving me a much better holistic understanding of life in Uruguay, great communities to engage with and places to travel to on the weekend, even advising me on my commute. I feel a lot less stressed about planning the next steps before moving now.

    Thanks Karen, you are a lifesaver!

      Henry, if only more parents of students doing an internship abroad in Uruguay had the foresight to invest in a relocation consultation for their child. Yours are the best! I could see the relief all over your face as we sketched out the best route for you to get to your place of work and you saw your commute cut almost in half. It was so much fun to meet. Know that you can reach out to me if you need anything when you are here. — Karen

    Having never visited Uruguay before, it was so useful to have Karen’s insight and suggestions when planning our 3-week visit this past summer (Uruguay’s winter – July/August 2022). It was our first ‘recon’ visit, to see if it could potentially be our retirement location in a few years’ time. During our consultation, Karen helped us sketch out a realistic itinerary, to include places that might appeal to us for future living ; based on an earlier retirement consultation, Karen already had an excellent sense of the kind of places we might like – this is the very personal and friendly input you get from Karen, who has the knack of honing in on details and remembering what her clients are about. A flu virus during our visit meant we had to alter plans a little, but otherwise we managed to see different neighbourhoods of Montevideo, hire a car (another brilliant recommendation from Karen, the Mariño Sport car rental) and drive up the coast to Pan de Azucar, La Paloma (our favourite), Minas, and then over to Colonia. Karen’s initial advice, suggestions and ideas are an indispensable starting point for anyone looking to make the most of their visit to Uruguay. We also made a lot of use of an excellent road map (of the old-fashioned paper kind!) – Karen had said the roads would be empty in winter, she was right: driving up the Interbalneario was a dream! Thank you again Karen, we would not have started this “on the way to retirement in Uruguay” journey without you.

    Your knowledge and conversational style make a wonderful combination. All the ideas you offered for my two week trip to Uruguay and the itinerary you built are superb.Your contributions will make all the difference in my experience. That call with you and your planned itinerary are well worth the price. It has been a very good investment.

    Thank you for putting so much creative thought into my trip
