Expats often complain of boredom and frustration with not being able to communicate since most locals don't speak English. It's expensive to travel within Uruguay and it's easy to feel isolated and really remote. Winter (June-August) is cold, damp and windy and most expats leave the country for the season, so it's best to have a plan and be prepared for being alone and indoors for those months if you stay behind. - Aug 2018
