Karen A Higgs, the creator of the Guru’Guay website and author of the Guru’Guay guides, has been named one of Uruguay’s top 12 influencers by a US website serving expats abroad.
MyUS.com named Karen along with local favourite Rafa Cotelo, singer-songwriter Meri Deal who just opened in Uruguay for Ed Sheeran and Sofia Balbi, wife of footballer Luis Suarez.
The Florida-based site which serves over 550,000 expats in 220 countries said in their article on Uruguay’s top 12 influencers:
“Uruguay may be a small country, but it’s packed with rising influencers in every category, from fashion and beauty to tech, travel, and fitness.
“If you’re planning a trip to Uruguay, or love learning about new places and cultures, you need to follow Karen Higgs and her super informative site, Guru’Guay”.
What can we say? Other than, we’re delighted.
