Is It Good To Have A Recommendation

Thank author of this post/commentIs it good to have a recommendation to someone already living in Uruguay as a contact person.

I know when I went to Barbados I had a letter from someone here in Toronto introducing me to a politician in Barbados who could direct me to the right places and people and also took the time to take me around and see the place extensively.

Is this the better way of getting the inside scoop on living there or is it better to just hit the road and talk to people along the way?

Thank author of this post/commentMe neither I have never had an introductory letter when I have travelled but I can certainly see where it would help to get to see more of the place from a resident's point of view.

I mean we all travel as tourists and do the tourist thing but to get involved with the people who live there would certainly give you a better understanding about their way of life and what would be need there in order to survive living there.

Who knows, they may even be able to pave a way for you to get a job if you want one or even an apartment if you decide to move there.

That's a good suggestion. Thank you.

Thank author of this post/commentNo, I never received a letter of recommendation but I think it's a good idea. I don't really like to go around asking for help. I try to find directions ahead of time. I can see where it can be very helpful to have a trustworthy contact at your destination.

Thank author of this post/comment"Interesting idea!"

Do you think that I should ask a similar letter when I go to Canada?

Thank author of this post/comment"Used to be more common."

I did a lot of travelling between 1965 and 71 but almost everywhere I went, my old dad would have a friend, relative or an acquaintance to whom he'd write a letter of introduction for me.

I'm ashamed to say that my youthful hippie self found most of father's introductions to be distinctly dull and uncool... until I visited Afghanistan :-)

Thank author of this post/comment"Not guilty mi'lud"

The Brits would never have trusted me coz I'm an Anglo-Irishman :-)

Back then south east Afghanistan wasn't the nest of international spies that it is today and my letters of introduction were well received not because the tribal leaders in question (we'd call them war lords now) liked my old dad but because they had lots of happy memories about fighting the Brits during the raids and counter raids across the border in the days of their youth.
