CANARIES WITH KIDS

Hello OUT there!

I'm Tina, 39 years old and a single mother of a now 5-year-old. I like to be spontaneous, I'm not the organized mum who has her fixed weekly and daily schedule, but I try to remain spontaneous even with a child - as far as possible ;D I like to follow my impulses, am curious, like to travel and explore new things, am quite outspoken, love music and dancing (especially Caribbean/Latin America/Africa), summer, spring, being outside, long conversations about everything and nothing, situation comedy, laughing , be silly, just let myself drift... Before my daughter was born, I was mainly traveling in Latin America and especially the Caribbean (and then twice more with her), but this time I didn't dare to travel so far: For 9 months we have been roaming around the Canary Islands on a small budget. 3 months La Gomera, now Gran Canaria.

We have had very good experiences. It is sometimes (despite a good knowledge of Spanish) a little tedious to find affordable accommodation with little money, but it is worth it. Especially here on Gran Canaria, the people are very (kid) friendly and with a little help (and if you are not too demanding) you can ultimately be on the go with children quite well. Here I offer you my help, gladly for a small donation. I speak good Spanish, so I can also offer further on-site help and other things. If you are interested in cultural events, parties and festivals on Gran Canaria, I'm sure I have something for you too. And since I feel in all possible directions and am also considering staying here permanently, I could also be the right contact person for you if you don't just want to travel. I'm doing this for free, but of course I hope to get a little support for my own travels and life here on Gran Canaria through the website. First of all, I will concentrate on what little I know about the Canaries so far; if I see that the page is well received and throws off a bit, more will follow soon. To be continued!

Do you like what I'm doing here?

AcComodation

Travelling with kids has its costs. Not only flights are to pay (usually almost fully from age 2!), I also almost paid the full ferry price from Tenerife to La Gomera for my little one, and of course children want and need stuff all the time (mine: food, food again, food once more ;). It's hard to always say no to extra stuff. So if you want to travel cheap(er) to be able to travel longer and to afford good food for example and a nice cup of icecream once in a while, you can save money on other things, for example on accomodation. (Accomodation here on Gran Canaria and La Gomera often cost 50€ a night upwards, I heard other islands being even more expensive. Also buying at the supermarket is not really cheap, I'd say its more expensive than in my hometown Munich/ Germany.)

If you, for example, don't mind a little lack of luxury, you can save a lot of money on travels. For me personally, it's not only that it's way cheaper, but also I really prefere this way of travelling.

We love being with people, so a hostel, community or similar places for us are perfect. We used to live in a shared house of 10 people and my girl loved it, also it helped me as a single mom (single, not seperated) out a lot and made me feel so much better with maternity (i was so much more relaxed then). Was the best idea ever. But that's another story! ;)

(If you want to talk about living in shared flats/houses with children or live in Germany/closeby and wanna join my whatsapp-group to find people to live with, just let me know.)

If you don't have a lot of budget, talk to people! Many do give discounts!



Under construction! More coming soon.
