Jack & Austin
Our Story
From "New York or Nowhere..."
...to "Uruguay, no más!"
Why Uruguay?
The number one question we get is why we chose this place. While the idea of a chateau was a strong inspiration, it wasn’t the deciding factor. We chose Montevideo (and Uruguay) because it checked a lot of boxes on our wishlist of someplace to call home:
-
Urban, walkable city with culture and hospitality
-
Easy access to ocean beaches (and nature)
-
Stable economy and favorable taxes
-
Progressive government/laws
-
Easy time zone to still work remotely for the US
-
And a good quality of life that is chill and calm
2016
We met at a mutual friend’s party in January. Austin got Jack a job in March, left the company in April, and then we tried dating for a few months over the summer including a trip to Asbury Park.
2016-2019
We transitioned to friends—trips to the beach, birthday dinners, house warmings, etc.
