3. Do tell us more about the side project.

I figured out a way how to connect influencers/people who have a large following/websites which could improve their monetization with advertisers and take a cut. Most of the search and outreach is automated. I'm a programmer/marketer specializing in Python and analytics.

TL;DR: Your blog is making $2k/month from ads, but you could be making $4k/month. Will you give me $400/month so you can get $1600 more?

If it weren't for family friends etc, I'd totally move to Tenerife and spend the rest of my life there. So envious! Whereabouts have you settled?

The North. whereabouts of Puerto de la Cruz, now looking for a big house since we like it here.

How do you like Tenerife?

It's pretty darn good. My dream destination is northern Australia/Queensland but with my work setup the visa would be very difficult/would have to invest a lot of money to be able to move there with my family.

If you happen to still be lurking...

I live on the US West Coast, but looking for new environs. What I like most is the San Jose/Santa Barbara/San Diego weather and Tenerife (Canary Islands, yes?) is very close. What do you like/dislike about life there?
