Upgrade to Deep Dive (+130-min)

Description

How does the consultation work?

This half-day 3-hour morning or afternoon session is ideal for a private in-depth question and answer session about life and living in Uruguay. It works very well online or face-to-face. Online we’ll meet on the video platform of your choice (Zoom, Skype, FaceTime). You’ll be amazed how time flies. On site in Montevideo it may include an in-depth visit to one neighbourhood, or taster visits to two neighbourhoods. Prior to the meeting, you will complete a questionnaire (we recommend over a good glass of South American red) regarding yourself, your expectations and your lifestyle. Your answers will guide our conversation. This consultation can take place on weekdays or weekends.

“I’m no rookie, having been an expat from the U.S. for 20 years. I had been to Uruguay many times and generally knew my way around, yet Karen’s insights over the three hours together were invaluable and highly useful. And I would have expended a lot of resources learning on my own what Karen was able to concisely share with me. Her suggestions, recommendations and contacts have been extremely helpful. Her consultation service is highly recommended.” – Larry took a Deep Dive with Karen in 2021

Your opportunity to have private one-on-one time with Karen A Higgs, author, Guru’Guay founder and Uruguay’s foremost English-language expert.

It’s all about local contacts

Like most places in the world and especially in Uruguay, the best experiences and services come by word of mouth. After over two decades in Uruguay and thanks to her ground-breaking work bringing Uruguay to an international audience, Karen has hundreds of trusted contacts in a broad range of fields to share with you.

Why consult about moving to Uruguay?

Uruguay is not a good fit for everyone. No place is perfect, right? And an advantage for one person is a pitfall for another. You’ll receive first-hand, realistic insights tailored to your specific circumstances.

Why consult with Karen A Higgs?

Karen is the creator of Guru’Guay, the most popular English-language website on Uruguay. She has lived in Uruguay since 2000.  Her Guru’Guay guidebooks to Uruguay and Montevideo have been recognised by the Uruguay Ministry of Tourism and the Government of Montevideo as an essential reference for both travellers and expats. Karen is frequently invited to talk about Uruguay as a travel and lifestyle destination by international media—including the New York Times, the BBC and National Geographic–and on the world’s most listened to travel podcasts. The Uruguayan public has also fallen in love with Guru’Guay and Karen appears regularly in the national press.

Karen is British and studied in the UK and the US. She lived in the US, Costa Rica, Argentina and Spain before settling on Uruguay.
