Food Trucks: Uruguay Style

The food truck craze as far as I know began in the USA, and like many other trends it spread worldwide. Uruguay is no exception and it now has its own food truck fair called Degusto, complete with music, good food, beer and wine. What’s surprising is that I think they took the concept and […]

Montevideo: A Runner’s Paradise

For those who travel frequently and like to exercise, I have to tell you that my town, Montevideo, is a runner’s paradise.  Where else can you run most of the year in 60-70 degree weather, little humidity, and more importantly, in a beach right along the water?

An article on the Wall Street Journal caught my attention: It seems that AirBnB is worth more than Marriott International with its 4,000 hotels under management and US$13.8bn in revenue.  In contrast, AirBnB […]
