From Bitácora to Coffee: A Tenerife Walk With Jo & Ian + Life Updates

Описание: Today’s episode is a classic Tenerife catch-up: a short walk, a coffee with Jo and Ian, and plenty of real-life chat in between — including a very practical (and slightly chaotic) audio test after I forgot my usual microphones.

We talk holidays, shopping, and the realities of living abroad — from learning Spanish the only way that actually works to the honest truth about retirement decisions, budgets, and what life looks like when you move to Tenerife to look after someone you love.
