About
My expat journey
Uruguay
California, USA
I live 44 miles E. of Los Angeles. I enjoy my time with my wife and daughter, age 3. We spend much time together when I'm not at work. We enjoy long hikes/walking in our semi-rural area. I love running!
We go to Farmers Markets in the area to support our farmers. We also enjoy visiting our friends and open doors to family a lot.
I build clay (adobe, cob) ovens.
Entertaiment Industry, Medical on film sets.
I enjoy the weather, safety of my neighborhood and the ease of getting around town. My daughter is enrolled in a wonderful preschool that is not Corporate owned.
Moderately friendly, outgoing people in my area and many great dining spots and activities for just about.anyone.
It is very smoggy in the summer months, LOTS of traffic! Rude drivers. Very removed from nature, concrete jungle. Expensive housing. Do not like USA in general.

Hi, I'll just fire away here and give the rundown in So Cal/LA and a bit of comparison to Portland, Oregon. I have lived in LA for 40 yrs and Portland for 2 years. L.A. This is a major car culture! Fuel is currently 3.75 per gallon (4 quarts per US ... Read More
Questions rarely asked?...curious to know if:
Before I further deepen my desire to relocate to a seemingly wonderful place like Uruguay there are several key elements I need to be critically aware of. Hopefully someone(s) will be able to respond with certainty, through personal/professional ... Read More
Question: Why did you leave North America, and why pick Uy? by James57
Hi folks. I've read most of the posts in this forum and I'm just wondering why those folks who pick up and relocate are leaving North America 'these days', and in particular why they decide on Uy. I'm in my late 50's, a businessman, and a fairly ...
Well gentlemen, you've been singing my song. I'm going to invite my wonderful wife into this blog, so she can read posts like yours, so as to validate my same position and therefore I won't appear to her as the extremist or alarmist that many ... Read More
