About Explore Uruguay

Hello my name is Roy

I began to Develop Explore Uruguay in November of 2007 after visiting and falling in love with the customs culture and people of Uruguay.

When I first began to write about Uruguay there was not very much information in English on the internet.

Some of things that initially drew me to Uruguay included the quality of Air, water and Produce

What I discovered was a land of incredible beauty, rich in culture, customs and history.

I found the people of Uruguay to be fascinating, warm, kind, welcoming and sincere. The pride and love that the Uruguayan people share for their country was evident everywhere.

Prior to traveling to Uruguay, I researched Quality of Life on the internet and soon realized that Uruguay was the perfect country for me.

A little bit about meI was born in Vancouver British Columbia and currently reside in Williams Lake, BC. I am fluent in English and German and study spanish daily.

I have 3 dogs. a pure bred Dogo Argentino named Shasta Blue a pure bred Bouvier named Zoe and a border collie pit bull cross named Dante.

I enjoy walking with my dogs every morning in the mountains around my home. My days are spent working from my home office and developing Explore Uruguay

Future Plans include, buying a house in Uruguay and spending half of my year exploring Uruguay and the other half of the year in British columbia Canada
