Hey yall, in todays video I'm going to talk about what its like living in Australia, what you should know about Australia if you want to move here, busting myths about Australia and comparing Australia to other countries.
warning: i make alot of generalisations and play on some stereotypes so Australians please try not to get to triggered haha.
I hope you enjoy this video (give it a thumbs up if u do!) and I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.

No it's not, Depends where you live it's a continent guys so has many different climates. I also didnt find UK to be that cold and i grew up in Australia. If you live in Melbourne, Hobart or one of the many small cities in mountains then it's cold in winter. It can actually feel colder than when I lived in Latvia in north east Europe even though Latvia is alot colder, just due to the lack of proper insulation and heating. Obivously anywhere in Australia gets a hot or warm summer, but agian winter dose exist even in Queensland there are parts which get four seasons.

In the US, there’s different levels of kindness based on the state you’re visiting. I live in Texas and people are generally very kind in southern states (southerners call it southern hospitality) but of course, some visitors have upsetting experiences with rude and judgmental people down here. In the northern states (states like New York and Illinois), people tend to be more “real” rather than friendly and I believe it has to do with the hard-working nature of northern individuals. People are also pretty open almost everywhere in the US and tend to over share, which I love. Come visit us sometime! :)

The driver licence stuff changes depending on which state you live in, in the NT you have your Ls for 6 months before you can go for your Ps and we don't have the red and green stuff you're just on them for 2 years before you can go on your full licence. So the earliest you can have your opens is 18 and 6 months. Also the diversity changes between states.

I hear you about the sun, UV index, and heat. Most of the time it’s between 29.4°C ,and 34°C is considered a high day...but the difference is that our humidity is around 65%-85%...so it’s pretty miserable. Unfortunately, it doesn’t really get cold anymore...at sea level, 15°C is about as cold as it gets. We do have snow, but usually only in the mountain tops...so I have friend who’ve gone snowboarding in the morning and surfing in the afternoon. Oh yeah, I call Hawai’i home. 😁 The racism in America is HORRIBLE...it really was getting better until January 2017...since then it’s been getting worse and worse, and it’s REALLY bad right now. 😡 I consider myself VERY lucky that I live on a rock in the middle of the ocean. Hawai’i is so diverse that we really don’t have racism here. Thankfully, we also don’t really have homophobia here...even my really effeminate friends rate our homophobia at a 2-3 with 10 being homophobia in the American South...and 1 being homophobia in West Hollywood. Hehe.

Hey Luke. I thoroughly enjoyed this video!! I live Cape Town with my better half - we are planning on moving to Australia (if we can get a visa and this pandemic is under control :D). You are one of the first people that actually gives good and bad opinions about Australia. Not going to lie, what you said about the sun, and the cost of living, was pretty scary. Haha. Anyway, would really love another video where you maybe go into some more detail? I'm pretty sure there are tons of people who agree with me - you also seemed to get A LOT of interest on this video. Please also try go into a little more detail between the differences between here and there (and the pros/cons for someone moving there). Thanks so much!

Being able to work for anywhere I’m flexible as far as dates & cities go. Do y’all have any recommendations? Genuinely asking. Your feedback will be greatly appreciated. I’ve between Gold Coast, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney. Also, if y’all know the current state of the country I’d love to hear about it. I’m doing so much research before I relocate.

Aussie person here. I would like to just give some info from a different part of the country. I live in the southern region of Australia, and I live inland. Our winters drop down to -5c and there are absolutely areas of this country that get snow every single winter, our summers can peak around 45c and its really dry dry heat so unlike most of the country, which is generally located on the coastal regions we dont get that same humidity. Clubs have been doing door charges for decades, going back at least as far as the 80s-90s where the door charge would be around $10 for clubs in Sydney. Spiders and snakes are definitely more prevalent in the country/regional centers of the country.
