Welcome on Expat-blog Edutene!

You should check out the Tenerife expat network, this could help you to get contacts with english people.

Good luck.

Hello everybody!

My name is Lydia and I´m a teacher from Austria.

I lived in Italy for 3 years, in South Korea for 5 years and in Brazil for 6,5 years.

I just arrived in Teneriffa and I will stay until the end of March!

It would be great to meet other Expats and of course locals living in the area.

I stay in Calão Salvaje.

I speak German, English, Italian and Portuguese.

My Spanish sucks. So if there is sb interested in a language exchange I´m up for it as well.

xxx

thanks for informing me about any interesting things going on!

Hello Lydia,
I am in Los cristianos.
Would you like to meet?
Our interests are very similar. I know Australia quite well and also lived in Brasil. I am sure that we have things to talk about.
Hope to hear from you. Maybe you can send me an email?
Kind regards,
Chantal
