When we first said we were moving to Tenerife, once people realised we were serious, the first thing they said was 'well are you retiring then?'

I wish! No, we have had to try and earn a living here and it isnt easy, there are a lot of barriers that we have come up against, some out fault and some the fault of others.

My inability to speak Spanish has been a problem occassionally, however I have found that as long as I try then I can get by. These days, I can understand quite a lot, but still have problems stringing sentences together (that is in Spanish, not English, before anyone says anything!)

We still have bad days and weeks here, but at the end of the day we just look around and realise how much we have around here to make things better!

Why not share some of your experiences with us all - what are the best and worst things about working, or looking for work in Tenerife?
