- So we moved, to the beach! In almost 4 years here, this is our 4th home. and wow this better be the last, we moved from Lomas de Solymar, to Solymar... which yes, are 2 different suburbs or barios, but they are right next to each other. Finding this new house was a challenge so this video talks through the neighbourhoods down here in Ciudad de la costa, and shows a few houses that we toured, as well as a bit of the moving bureaucracy! stay tuned for part 2 coming soon.

Good luck with the move guys...
I spent 7 weeks in Uruguay and absolutely loved it. Now I'm back in Australia and enjoy Uruguay through your videos. What a great place to live, Montevideo was incredible and ciudad de la costa was something else too. Awesome lifestyle in Uruguay, good on you guys for having a go and living the dream.
Cheers from Down under... 🇦🇺🇺🇾
thanks for the comment! can i ask what your favourite part was? and what points do you think our chanel is still lacking / what types of videos do you want to see? i'm dedicating more of 2024 to content creation and hoping to post at least monthly to this account! so let me know what you want to see and i'll make it
I love these kind of videos because they authenically show what it's like actually living in Uruguay (like the challenges etc.). Thanks for sharing your experiences with us Maddie & Ale!
thanks for the comments, thats truly our main goal, to help others to see what it's like here, and hopefully avoid some of the struggles that we went through :P
any video requests? i'm making a list and plan for 2024, so many ideas but i don't know where to start!
@@MaddieAle Awesome! In terms of video requests, if you haven't already covered these in older videos) -
1. Gringo pricing in Uruguay (Is it prevelant etc?).
2. Hair and skincare products in Uruguay (are international brands available? Is there a wide variety sold locally?) Also, (if possible) maybe interview or get info from a black/POC living in Uruguay on sourcing suitable hair & skincare products for that demographic in Uruguay. Like, is it difficult? (I've been looking for this info everywhere but it's been super hard to find. I guess it's probably because of the small population in Uruguay).
3. Is buying a car in Uruguay relatively easy? Also, what's it like driving there? Are many drivers hostile on the roads or have road rage? Do they adhere to the driving rules/laws/traffic lights etc?
So, those are my suggestions for future videos. Look forward to your new content in 2024! :)
thankyou these are excelent suggestions! to be honest, there are very few black people / POC, most are either US tourists or Brazilians. I have heard clubs can be racist about letting people in which is really awful, but i don't know much else so interviewing someone would be great.
I would say as far as products, there are many brazilian brands available in uruguay and those are the ones i would trust regarding curly hair textures etc, just because of the much greater diversity in the brazilian population!
but I will add these to our video list and see what we can come up with!
@@MaddieAle Hi, now seeing your response. Thanks so much for the info! I appreciate it!
Dang what a journey!!!! It’s so difficult to find a place that checks all the boxes and is in budget, but I didn’t know it was this hard! Loved the additions of maps and Info about each area and the pros and cons of each place!
its easy if you have the money :P and if you're trying to be savvy.... then it's a whole lot more complicated (:
The hook at the end! Moving is such a stressful, miserable experience even when things go right. I hope things have worked out for you and you're both doing well now.
thankyou! yes i mean... you're right it is never an easy process, i think i was just a little too optimistic and it took a couple extra turns than expected!
I hope you enjoy your new home
thankyou! its been a few weeks and, so far so good!
30000 pesos was a two-bedroom house in Montevideo?!!! My goodness. I heard it can get pretty pricey out there. I'm looking at the Philippines and Uruguay as my new homes, so this is great information.
30.000 was a 2 bed, 2 bath in lomas de solymar, you can technically find 2 bedrooms at the same price (or less) in montevideo but the size will be halved. the "second bedroom" is usually about 2.5m2 so good luck using it for anything except a desk and a laptop!
That'll be perfect because I need a room just to do my telehealth.
@@MaddieLucaMalan
well then you will definitley be ok in montevideo, truly our main reason was wanting space for our pets, but without pets or if you just had one, there are plenty of places in montevideo that are nice, especially pocitos / punta carettas / malvin or carrasco, they are more expensive but i think its worth it!
It's just going to be me with no kids or pets or anything, AND I live like a minimalist. All I need is safety, INTERNET, convenience to get my necessities, and a little nightlife to truly immerse into the culture. @@MaddieAle
perfect then i'd look for apartments in these areas i mentioned. pocitos is my favourite, punta carettas is also really nice and you can get beachfront apartments with great views for the same price we paid for our houses, they are jsut smaller!
a monoambiente is basically a studio apartment, or you can find plenty of 1 or 2 bedroom apartments for reasonable prices if compared to other countries. just if you are living off of a uruguayan salary, these neighbhourhoods are expensive, but if you have dolars, you'll probably be fine! check out infocasas or mercado libre for options
That 29k kitchen island was trippy and the whole kitchen was very strange looking hahaha
yea i really don't know who would have paid that monthly to live there, there was a good size yard but the fence was falling apart, i think just because it was a couple hundred metres from la rambla, they thought they could bump the prices :P
It's crazy that all the doors and windows have metal bars on them
welcome to uruguay
Am I correct in thinking that the coastal scenery/trees/nature etc is similar to Australia? I lived in NSW for a year and to me the landscape looks similar.
honestly yes! here in ciudad de la costa especially, closer to montevideo they've planted a LOT of palm trees along "la rambla" to make it look very scenic and more tropical, but down here its more shrubbery and more native eucalyptus type trees and others that have leaves all year long.
buuut just turn the quality and cleanlieness down a tad, the water isn't nearly as clear and theres a lot of cracks in all of the sidewalks, but otherwise a great neighbourhood
I love your CZcams videos Maddie. I’ve been following you for years now. Just out of curiosity, could you tell me what is that thing at 11:34? I cannot figure out what it is. It looks like an oven.
hahah great question! it does look like an old fashioned oven, it is the heater for the house! It's an old fashioned wood burning heater or here you could call it a "estufa"
i've never seen one before in person but it is supposed to be quite energy efficient because of how thick the whole thing is! It isn't as aesthetic as an open fireplace where you can watch the flames, but it will be a lot more efficient! :)
@@MaddieAlethanks for answering! I was raised in the Costa de Oro and never seen something like this! I like it. :)
Welcome to my country guys ! I hope you do like
You can found very nice places here ,enjoy it !
Thanks! 😃 do you have any specific recomendations?
and i would think this would count as "the coast" / la costa, en lugar de "el interior"
porque obvio es muy diferente que el ciudad, pero no es "el interior" completo, verdad?
Bienvenidos a la tierra de los primeros campeones del mundo 🌍🏆
jaja gracias, pero me mudé acá hace casi 4 años! pero este es solo un video de nuestra nueva casita
@@MaddieAle , felicitaciones! Que la disfruten, feliz año!
4 years, 4 homes. seriously though this has be the last one because i can't handle it anymore!
absolutley, i want this place to be a HOME not just a house, and be our base until we move to australia again
Come to Uruguay 🇺🇾🦘🇺🇾🦘we are near atlantic new york and england, europe 🇦🇺
do you mean similar to .... or physically close? because i'm not sure its really true either way😂
I mean Uruguay its in the atlantic ocean the same ocean as new york and england, europe, thats what i meant the ocean of the titanic 🚢✈️
19000 pesos per month is how much usd?
USD 480
the exchange changes quite regularly, but currently it's about 1USD=39 uy pesos, so today 19,000 pesos = $486.40 USD
or the house we are renting, 20,000 pesos = $512.20 USD per month! crazy compared to US or Australia prices, and still a good price for Uruguay, mid to low range :)
To my humble standards, which of course are not the highest as you can find among demanding or rich people, all of the houses you showed us are awful, a psycho torture as soon as you step in, more appropriate for terror movies than for any other use. It creates an artistic huge contrast, an absurd mismatch between your outstanding beauty and that terrible stuff.
... It doesn't sound like you have very humble standards. Obviously the houses have their issues, because we are looking at houses that are less than 800 USD/month, so they are mid range here, not the worst, but far from the nicest. If you think this is horrendous then Uruguay is probably not the country for you :P
