MOVING TO TENERIFE - 2 MONTHS AFTER

[@fxbz]

So tempted to move to Tenerife as a 21-year-old (I work from my laptop). Currently learning the language! 😀

[@LensVagabonds]

Good luck

[@Kelbyn_]

Hi, I’m from Tenerife, actually living in the USA. You guys seems a very nice couple, and when you received that call from a friend that interfered your video recording ,you showed funny. You stated at the last part of the video, that you want to wait one year at least to see how the things are going.. I’ll bet you, the things are going to be great. After June United Airlines has announced direct flights from New Jersey to Tenerife, American tourists would visit our island and they could set easily the island for a Destination Wedding thing, which it’s so popular over here. Meanwhile, relax.. you could acquired the lay back character and enjoy the islands in its essence. My best wishes! From an islander living abroad!

[@LensVagabonds]

Thanks for the encouragement, our best wishes to you too !!!!

[@florinbontas]

😉 nice vlog mate! Even nicer because of my call 😂. Now I know who to ask for information If I will ever decide to move to Tenerife.

[@LensVagabonds]

Thanks dude. And don't interrupt me while im filming. :))

I like your video so much, very useful. I wish there was some extra specifically focused on bureaucracy explaining how in what sequence get all that papers

[@LensVagabonds]

Great suggestion!

[@Mamamia878]

I saw your Vienna video first and compared to this latest one I saw both of you very still. In Vienna you where walking fast looking for a quite place to speak. Now you're vibing calmness and peace. The benefit is showing. I'm a photographer too and I hope to meet you in Tenerife soon!

[@catalindragut6223]

Bravo! Smart move! La prima vedere pareti oameni educati si cu bun simt. Imi permit sa vin cu cateva sfaturi (nu ca ati avea nevoie): 1. Ramaneti in Santa Cruz sau cat mai aproape, in nici un caz in sud. 2. Nu va mutati foarte des (afecteaza copiii) 3. Pe cat posibil, gatiti acasa. Nu va aruncati cu capul inainte in mancarea spaniola (canariota). Pe termen mediu/lung creaza disconfort. Cam atat. A! Era sa uit .... Sa bati drumul pana la Teresitas si sa nu faci o baie - indiferent de vreme - este o blasfemie. Succes!

[@LensVagabonds]

Merci de sfaturi, cateva le-am aplicat deja:)

[@unaecaria_canarygirl]

Mâncare spaniola/ canariota crează disconfort⁉️❓😱🤣🤣🤣

[@catalindragut6223]

Aparent, da. Mi s-a intamplat mie si mai multor cunostinte. Mie - cel putin - mai ales din cauza condimentelor si diferitelor sosuri folosite la gatit. A nu se intelege ca este mancare de proasta calitate. Vorbim aici (in Tenerife) de o abundenta de legume, zarzavaturi, fructe si lactate la standarde de departe superioare pe langa ce gasesti pe continent. Carnea si mezelurile nu m-au convins. Congelatele mi-au mai provocat oarece probleme, sa nu cumperi decat de la surse de incredere. Atentie la peste! Lumea considera ca in Canare e peste bun si proaspat. Ei bine, pestele este in TOTALITATE congelat. Arareori poti gasi direct la sursa un macrou, stavride sau caracatita proaspete, dar in nici un caz in magazine sau restaurante.

[@netsonmusic]

thank you for review :) did you actually choose Tenerife among other Canary Islands? I love Las Palmas for more greenish area , looking for info now . But your video is useful too , cheers!

No, our goal was tenerife although we've been to other islands

Are you back in Tenerife? Am vazut ca ati luat o pauza pe youtube. Sper ca sunteti bine si o sa reveniti intr-o zi:) Multi romani se intorc acasa, big life changes....si eu ma voi intoarce anul asta dupa 25 de ani.

[@Robin-hp8pu]

hi guys, first of all i hope you're safe during this challenging time over there in tenerife! lets hope for the best! if id be there now id volunteer. okay on the other hand - who needs a non spanish speaking austrian during a spanish emergency ;-) just kidding, i think its always good to give something "back" to the area you love and help is always somehow needed. i wanted to ask you also about whether you got any documents translated into spanish for your moving to tenerife. like your geburtsurkunde, ehenachweis, children's dokumente, etc.. was there a need for that? i think there wasnt a need for an apostille on the docs since you're from a eu country. im following your channel - not only is it entertaining but it helps us planning doing the same like you guys, just that we wanna stay in the south ;-) keep up the nice content 🙏

[@LensVagabonds]

Hey Robin, thanks for you concern. No, no translation was needed, they didn't even asked for anything

[@LensVagabonds]

Salut, nu

[@mathias373]

I just returned from Lanzarote after beeing there for 9 days with my family(not the first time in Canarias).I am looking to transfere to Tenerife or Lanzarote.Maybe more to Tf.because I have tweens aged almost 10 years and scooling is easier in Tf.My idea was to buy a real estate with appartments for short term rental.Hoewver I noticed that prices for real estate have gone up whilst renting is very cheap.For example a simmilar appartment would rent in Croatia or Slovenia for at least double price.It is true that in Canarias there is 12 month season whilst in the Adriatic is 4-5 months.Considering only business perspective it is not a big deal investing in Canarias.What are your thoughts considering the later?

Our business is online or on the continent, we don't rely on income from the island

Hello. I'm from Italy and I want to move abroad to start my own business (and register a private company) because of the lower taxes and so on. I was wondering if you'd recommend moving to Tenerife. I have less than 8k euros but my business is online so I don't have big costs to run it. But of course I would need to rent a place to be considered a resident there. So the only expenses I can think of apart of business expenses would be food and rent, plus legal costs to register my company.

[@LensVagabonds]

The situation is for everyone different. I cant say "yes move here". I only can say, for us as a family it worked (so far). Prices are rising here as well, rent, gas, electricity food...and so on, like everywhere else. As far as registering a company here, I have no idea how it works. I recommend you hire a "gestor" here and he/she will do all the paperwork for you

Many people wakes up at 6 pm an earlier here in the canaries and everywhere else in Spain, but that doesn't make you more hard working or a better human being, not making racist statements does.

[@jb-lu4vo]

Being Spanish it is difficult to live in Spain so figure out if you are a foreigner. Spain is a banana's monarchy similar to those of the Caribbean and South American countries. The king and queen make the country to their liking and thus a country cannot be formed. I prefer to live in Taiwan rather than Spain, there is less bureaucracy. Thanks for the video and take care all of you guys.

True about bureaucracy, but the vibe and feel in the canaries is nice. So far so good

[@jb-lu4vo]

@@LensVagabonds Not only bureaucracy is also dictatorship and corruption by the Popular Party, Vox and the Spanish monarchy, any Mediterranean country better than Spain.
