Hi All!
My name's Michal and my fiancee and I are planning to move to the southern part of The Island at the end of 2012.
We're getting married this September and we decided to give Tenerife a try and move here for 3-12 months. We're from Wroclaw in Poland and we'd definitely use some summer climate after our harsh winters.
I'd like to ask you to share a little bit about the local expenses. Since we (probably) won't stay longer than a year, we're planning to rent an small apartment with a sea view, use public transport, work from home (a place with a solid ADSL broadband connection will be a must) since we both work in the internet marketing field. We're also planning to travel to other cities on the island on weekends, and maybe to larger, spanish cities.
Untill now, I gathered: (for both of us)
450 apartment
30 internet
20 cell phone
500 food
200 other expenses
Giving a total of 1,200.00 Euros per month.
Is it enough? Is it realistic? Have we forgot about something crucial? I couldn't entirely solve this one using the search function, I'd really appreciate your opinion.
Primarily we're thinking about finding a place on the south coast, probably in a smaller town (like Puerto de Santiago) assuming that there's going to be a proper broadband connection.
Thanks,
Michal
