Hello Uruguay Expats...my Hello post.

Hello Uruguay Expats,

This is my first post to this group and I just wanted to say Hello.

FYI I will be moving to Uruguay (from Texas) this Sept/Oct and I am really looking forward to it as this has been my plan for a long time.

My early plan is to stay in Montevideo for a few months then move up country for a few more and later on travel the region. Occasionally I will travel back to USA and Canada to visit family and friends.

About me and my "to do list":

    ~ Retired engineer.
    ~ Canadian farm boy who has lived in USA since 1978.
    ~ Also spent 4 years in Switzerland (2010-2014) and traveled Europe extensively in my old sports car.
    ~ Hoping to "give back" and volunteer where I can be of help.
    ~ Take a Spanish course in Montevideo. Maybe even a cooking course.
    ~ Love to walk/hike, especially in the country.
    ~ Also love to dance and enjoy music.
    ~ Hoping to travel the region, even to the Antarctica and Ushuaia.
    ~ Hoping to get involved in a travel club,
    ~ Love good, simple food, wine and conversation.
    ~ I generally want stay busy doing good things, meet nice people, making friendships and enjoy the local culture and activities.

More later as I get more acquainted with this site and Uruguay.

Thank you and hope to hear back from you,

Best,

Ed
