Hi, this is my first post and if i am in the wrong section sorry about that, i have been doing as much research as i can over the last 6 months or so about the idea of moving to tenerife or the like, i went to tenerife years ago on a lads holiday and did enjoy it (what i can remember of it!!!!) my main question i suppose is the island busy? i have read very mixed views on this some people saying it is always busy to some people being there for a few years and being out of work for a few months, i am not daft enough to think the work will come and find me i know it will be difficult, i am prepared to do pretty much anything with in reason, i am one of those people who is a "jack of all trades but a master of none" i will be coming with the other half who is a qualifed nursery nurse who i think would like to carry on with something similar, | | | 17th June 2008, 09:47 | #2 (permalink) | | Moderator Join Date: Sep 2007 Gender: Posts: 2,663 My Mood: |  from the | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to Tenerife_Smurf For This Useful Post: | | 17th June 2008, 09:56 | #3 (permalink) | | Newbie Member Join Date: Jun 2008 Gender: Posts: 9 | hi, and thanks tenerife smurf, i remember the smurfs i have a few coffee an tea jars in the attic with the smurfs on, just had a flashback!!!! i assume that you live over there and are the envy of the people viewing this forum, how are things over there? | | | 17th June 2008, 09:59 | #4 (permalink) | | Moderator Join Date: Sep 2007 Gender: Posts: 2,663 My Mood: | Quote: Originally Posted by brownpoundshop hi, and thanks tenerife smurf, i remember the smurfs i have a few coffee an tea jars in the attic with the smurfs on, just had a flashback!!!! i assume that you live over there and are the envy of the people viewing this forum, how are things over there? | Hiya ! i've lived in Tenerife now coming upto 19 years and i've never seen it as quite.

The hotels could have been cheaper than apartments and people might have decided to stay in the hotels, that might be why you could not get a hotel for love nor money. | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to Tenerife_Smurf For This Useful Post: | | 17th June 2008, 10:30 | #10 (permalink) | | Newbie Member Join Date: Jun 2008 Gender: Posts: 9 | hi, do you think it is down to the euro? or maybe people going futher afield? i tried both hotels and apartments on load of different sites and what was left were "CRAZY" money. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | | |
