Ahh thank you for this! Reassuring that everyone is faking it till they make it 😂💯

couldn't agree more with you Luke haha x

kids say things like that 🤣

That's the fun of it! I'm 25 and I've never felt settled or had a long term (career) job. But I love my lifestyle and I live with no regrets :)))

i'm 49. i say keep investing in solid stocks or funds, build your skills, and travel. ❤ balance.

Whinge whinge whinge

@@gloryglory5688 she may be whinging but she raised some good points there. It is so bloody far away from everything. Getting off this island is a pain both financially and emotionally.

@@Heytno whinge whinge whinge 🙄

@@gloryglory5688 troll troll troll 😆

hey Anita..what made you to stay in Aus and where are you from?

I thought the cut off was until 30? Could you get a sponsorship whilst out there?

Hey Stef, if you were given a chance where would you want to live as a long term - UK or AUS? And why if I may ask.

@@vigneshv5142 thats a tough one. Australia is beautiful. Way more stunning than the UK, the weather is better and the outdoor life style is great BUT the UK is a brilliant country. Our weather is not great, and winters are quite morbin but all in all our super markets are way way better, the food quality is higher, nightlife in the cities is brilliant, our health service is brilliant, Sports/football culture, schools, tech market and more is better. The one thing i do lile about the UK is how cheap our super markets and flights are. I flew to Croatia last month for £9 so its easy and cheap to travel to Europe when you want to get some consistent sunshine. I think its depends on your age ans hobbies. Me personally right now id prefer to be living im Sydney rather than the UK.

@@TravelChimp so if you are much younger you prefer Sydney, above 50 UK? :)

@@TravelChimp The food quality higher in the UK ? We have a lot of fresh produce in Australia and most fruit and vegetables are grown in Australia . The UK imports a lot of fruit and vegetables. I think the UK has the best fish and chips though .

Hey, did you make the move?

hi Patricia... would you mind your reasons on why you prefer Aus over Uk?

Please tell us more about your experience and why you love australia?!

How are you going to afford it?

I don't think you can apply until you're 18, I'm 17 and planning on moving to Australia for a year or two when I'm 19.

Wow that must have been scary / exciting! I'm so glad it's easier to keep in touch with family in other countries for people who move over here now days - makes the transition much easier

@@MillieWYT Yes it was a long 11 yrs.Only Airmail then and it took at least 2 weeks to get to the UK.Then 2 weeks back.We certainly made up for the long separation.Then I took another 9 yrs before we went back again.Family is the biggest draw to go back,nothing else.

Yes so for a working holiday visa I think its $5000 AUD if I remember correctly so just under £3000 😊 This is to show you have ‘proof of funds’ to support yourself when you’re over there

You can also get a sponsor

Thanks so much! 😊

I’m born and raised in Australia, and I can tell you that the spiders are not a big deal. You will only see about 1 huntsman every few months, and they are way smaller on average then what people usually believe. You will only see a proper big one maybe once a year. They are not dangerous, and, for the most part if you ignore them they’ll be gone the next day. If your living in a big city like Melbourne or Sydney, especially if it’s the city centre, you will see virtually no spiders at all.

Depends where you are, i moved 9 momtjs ago and as im in the city in sydney i dont really see any. Youll find its more towards the suburban and areas with more greenary or deserts thatll have more spiders

Don’t come to Sunshine Coast or anywhere past that point upwards if you hate spiders! I am the same and it sometimes gives me broken sleep worrying, unfortunately can confirm it’s very much their home the more subtropical you go… City areas have less spiders I’d imagine

Thank you so much x@@gb9612

Not hard! Go into a bank to set up your account and they’ll show you how to do it :) and for accommodation it depends if you want to share a house with other people or get your own lease

Costs about the same, maybe higher but wages & salaries are MUCH higher. Basic wage is $23.23 per hour ($US15.60) c.f. American basic wage of $7.25 USD. AUSTRALIA $15.60 V USA $7.25. Just process that a while.

It is much more expensive in Australia compared to the UK, for housing it’s not dissimilar to London housing market the closer to the coast you get. Food is more expensive here, not as good quality produce as the UK I’ve found (especially potatoes!!! They don’t grow well here) but as somebody else said, wages are often higher (though minimum wage converts to around the same as UK minimum wage/not far off)

Though I think it depends what part of the UK you are coming from. If from London it works out about the same, but UK is cheaper overall. Living in Australia feels like it’s for the rich unless you have a good paying job.

As an Englishman i can tell you that the U.K is a great place to live the people are friendly the history is incredibly interesting the food is genuinely good no matter what people will tell you and the landscape is magnificent, if you do end up moving to the UK there is nothing to be worried about it's a great place to live and if you were born in Australia you could always move back in the future if you don't like it.

This is probably late but any move you make will always be a little bit scary, but some of the best things in life are. That being said, if you don’t like it, you don’t have to be stuck in your decision, you can always go back home. You’re better off choosing one of the major cities because it’s easier to meet people and there’s a lot more going on. As for finding your people, I highly recommend joining an activity like a sport or a hobby - a reading club, or gaming group for example. You’ll fall into a community quicker that way. Be open and try new things! Finally, just be prepared to be cold. It’s freezing. And rainy. Always.

Bullshit he UK is a shithole, visit Luton, Plymouth, Birmingham and tell me I’m wrong

Have you ever been here? Speaking as Australian born with two very snobbish English parents

@@alexlanning712i have lived in both in UK and Australia

@@user-gx6rl8zo1z I can smell BS

Sorry to hear that :( I hope it all works out in the end and you get to leave the UK if that’s what is right for you!

You could go over with the ADF mate. I’m looking at that route aswell. 4 year contract to start and citizenship aswel

I would say it’s more expensive yes! And the wages aren’t as good so that makes it worse :(

Thankyou for asking my questions

It’s not that the media “push” Aussie Rules or cricket; people here genuinely LIVE for them, especially footy. I’m not the biggest fan, but 95% of my friends and coworkers follow footy pretty religiously. I think the comment about it having no skill (or science) is pretty biased and frankly, false. Also, I imagine you do understand this but MOST people don’t take cricket that seriously that they think you’re inconsolable over something like The Ashes. It’s probably just humour.

It’s the pros and cons of moving to Australia from the UK - not the pros and cons of Australia as a country :)

They may not be cons to you but they could be for other people. That’s the great thing about people being able to have their own opinions :)
