A Cuban who has been living in Uruguay for over a year offered words of encouragement and advice to compatriots who are thinking about moving to the South American country.
On TikTok, Yudiel, @yudielkaren1, posted a video where he addressed common concerns about the cost of living and wages in the South American country.
"Family, I'm going to give you some advice. If you're thinking about going to Uruguay and you're seeing people say that it's a country that's expensive, that the salary won't be enough for anything, don't think about that, forget about it. Each of us is responsible for our own decisions," @yudielkaren1 began saying.
In his words, the young man, who often shares content like this about his experience as a Cuban émigré in the country, highlighted the importance of having a clear vision and an entrepreneurial mentality.
"Look, I've been here for a year and a half, but I already have the menu of what I'm going to undertake noted down. I don't know if it's going to be this year or next year, but I already have the vision," he assured.
In addition, he encouraged Cubans to seek their own opportunities and not to cling to the idea that they will depend on having a good salary. "In Uruguay, there is an opportunity to start a business and to do whatever you want. So don't stop, don't think about working just to get paid well. Come thinking about what I can start, that’s what you need to do," he concluded.
As is often the case, his words generated a wide range of reactions among TikTok users. "I wish all Cubans were like you," commented one user, while another added, "This Cuban is great"; "Always positive, blessings"; "Great Cuban, that's right, those who work will get ahead," some said.
"But I had to leave due to a lack of opportunities. No one thought that the government was helping you"; "My brother, don't encourage more Cubans to go there, that's terrible," others commented.
