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?

[JacobSuperslav]

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

How do you like Tenerife?

[JacobSuperslav]

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?
