Are you a Tenerife resident or visitor?
There are no right or wrong answers here and (I hope), no first and second class citizens in this list, however, when I first set up this site, way back in 2004 my intention was that it was aimed at the type of visitor to Tenerife who wanted to know a bit more about the island, get out of the resorts and actually see some of the real stuff, scenery, culture, etc.
What's becoming obvious is that other types of visitor, including Tenerife residents, both expat and Canarian, are also finding something useful here to keep them reading and coming back.
Heaven knows what they find of interest, but I'm flattered! :)
Anyway, it should also be obvious that the needs and the type of information required by these people in different situations, will have a different focus, so to that end, I want to get to know a bit more about you the reader.
No, I don't mean personal stuff: the poll is entirely anonymous. There are probably more categories or circumstances than those I've listed - if you want to, feel free to mention anything else you want to add or request in the comments - but knowing roughly who the majority of visitors are would make it easier for me to focus on providing you with the right information. Simple.

No, the second home option is not missing: part-time residents are those who have a home elsewhere and spend part of the year in a second one in Tenerife. Future residents are those who already have a second home and intend to live in it later, for instance, upon their retirement.
missing the 'second homer' option. I'm taking it as a variation on Regular, repeat holidaymaker, but it might have been interesting to differentiate. it means I'm more interested in local issues despite not being resident.
either way, love the blog and keep up the great work.
