Transcripts

some things that I basically would do

differently if you see a lot on you know

social media about

um the city the main cities you know

like um Sydney Melbourne Brisbane don't

narrow it down to the east coast okay do

your research I think you should

definitely weigh up the pros and cons of

bringing your career out here with you

to Australia it's a very rainy and

gloomy day today in Sydney in Bondi so I

thought I'm going to do a sit down video

and chat to you guys about

some things that I basically would do

differently if I was moving out to

Sydney or if I was moving to Australia

from the UK or from anywhere now for

contacts I've been in Australia for

three years now and I was not the sort

of person like all over my like for you

page and like

social media it's like oh it was my goal

to come to Australia I saved up for such

a long time I've always wanted to come

so and now I'm here living my dream that

was not me I very much sort of like the

idea of Australia just sort of got

put to me and I basically said yes

within like

I can't like within a month maybe it's

my partner who suggested it and I was

like yeah sure why not like it hadn't

even crossed my mind the idea of going

moving to Australia so I'm not someone

that had like pre-planned my experience

over here

and

that being said there's things that if I

moved again I would definitely do

different or definitely like take into

consideration so I wanted to share that

in case anyone is like in the process of

planning it

hopefully it could help you guys out I

wrote a list I wrote a list or I think

I've got like six things so first and

foremost I think deciding where you want

to live in Australia is obviously a

massive thing you see a lot on you know

social media about

um the city the main cities you know

like um Sydney Melbourne Brisbane and

you probably are influenced a lot by the

people that you know as well I know that

I was like when we came out here

we traveled the East Coast we started

off at Cairns and we traveled all the

way down to Melbourne not knowing where

we would want to stay and we were like

we'll travel along all these places see

where we prefer and that is where we

will live so we narrowed it down to the

east coast

um but that was it really and in

hindsight I wouldn't have even narrowed

it down to the east coast because

like yeah it would have been unreal to

live in our own Western Australia and

that's something that I feel like we've

sort of missed the boat on

um so first off don't narrow it down to

the east coast okay do your research of

the different coasts like probably

you're probably not well I mean

completely up to you but uh like social

wise the North Coast probably isn't what

you're looking for if you're coming out

to Australia for like a social

experience

um but you'd very much get like the

Australian experience up there but like

the West Coast like Perth like little

um suburbs like Scarborough within like

the Perth area

um are so nice and I wish that I hadn't

written them off like straight away

without even doing my research I feel

like that was very

silly of me so first off don't limit

yourself to what Coast You're Gonna Go

On and secondly I feel like you should

not you should try and not get

influenced by people

um

and that is so much easier said than

done because when we first moved over

here we were like I said we were doing

the traveling and we met a friend that

we knew from uni in Sydney and she was

like you have to move to Sydney like it

would be so good to have you here

um XYZ we didn't know anyone else so we

were like oh well you know that person

said we should move to Sydney you say we

should move to Sydney and that is

literally what we based our entire

decision on

I obviously love Sydney it was literally

voted the best I think it was the best

city to live in the world or something a

couple of weeks ago

um

but I just sort of wish that we had

thought about the other options a bit

more

um for example I would have loved to

live on the Gold Coast it was someone

that I loved when I was traveling

through

um

and yeah I just definitely would

rethink that situation like in hindsight

now

that being said I also think you

shouldn't pick you should try not to

pick one place and be like this is where

we're gonna live for for our entire time

I've lived in Sydney for the last three

years and

something that I really wish would have

been an option for me

um and it's different because I was here

during covid so it's more of like advice

of like I'm telling you just to look out

for this just to be aware I feel like

you get much more of the Australian

experience

and you would meet loads of different

people and you would just get to

experience so much more if you lived in

different places throughout your your

time here so say you're here for a year

you could do six months in Sydney six

months on the Gold Coast or if you're

here for two years you could do it one

year one year or even mix it up be like

you know nine months Melbourne nine

months Brisbane nine months Sydney

and I just feel like I wish I'd done

that I wish I think it would have been a

completely different experience for me

um but I very much have my roots like

set in Sydney now and that's not like a

possibility for me anymore

um like it could be don't get me wrong

but I love my job at the moment

um I love the apartment we have so

like I don't think it's just not

something that would happen for us

anymore but yeah in hindsight

I really would have loved sort of like

plan that route to live in multiple

places

um and not get stuck down to one place

I think I combined to my points then

um so linking into that I also think

that something

um

that this would sort of like prevent

this next issue basically because I feel

like the last definitely the last like

nine months I've been over here I've

very much been stuck in the corporate

lifestyle and I know that sounds crazy

because

you don't really think of living in bond

I live in by the beach being a corporate

lifestyle but I've just focused very

much on my career in the last nine

months which I'm glad about I needed to

because during covert I didn't do

anything to do with my career like I did

nothing to do with my career so I was

very glad to get back into the industry

and start building my experience again

but that being said my experience the

last nine months has been very different

to my experience for the first two years

in covert when I was doing like whatever

job paid the most basically

um

and it's hard to say like I was happier

before

than I am now because I'm happier

I'm happier now about different things

the fact that I'm learning loads I'm

using my mind like I'm building my

career let's say but I felt a lot more

like Carefree

um I I didn't I wasn't like tied down in

the first two years

um

and I think that's something to consider

so say for coming out here for a year

and like

you're in like a high pressure job back

home so like whatever Finance or

marketing or a nurse or something like

that

I think you should definitely weigh up

the pros and cons of bringing your

career out here with you to Australia if

you're only coming for a year I would

almost recommend just like putting your

career on back burner just picking up

some like

like casual bar jobs whatever like

customer service jobs when you're out

here they pay well you'll be a lot more

flexible in your hours and it'll give

you a lot more freedom like if you want

to travel or if you want a weekend off

or if you want to sack it in all

together and like move somewhere else in

Australia whereas I feel like as soon as

you get into the

corporate world out here

you very much

stuck in it and you yeah you're on the

ladder and you just have a lot less

Freedom it's like you do back home like

it's just basically like you're working

back home but you're in a different city

which for me Isn't So Much a working

holiday Visa like it's more of just a

it's a VISA like a working Visa there's

no holiday to it I'm just

working nine to five and just going out

on the weekends which is what I was

doing back home so if you are coming for

a year or two years and you're not

bothered like about bringing your

career over here with you or you're

happy to take a career break for like

one or two years I would highly

recommend that like I would push push

push for that because your time over

here will be a lot more enjoyable

basically and that's not saying I'm not

enjoying myself that moment I very much

am but I think back to what I was like

during covid

um when I was picking up any job I could

get a hold of and I was chilling I was

chilling guys it was so good so this

next point is something that I basically

it was completely out of my control but

I think it would help people moving out

here

like I think it would help people

because now it helps me but

whatever uh it is basically having a

rough idea of when you are next gonna

visit home

um for me it makes it a lot more like

mentally manageable like when I'm

missing home or when I'm feeling lonely

um just knowing that I have like a set

date like when I am going to see my

family and when I'm gonna see like like

my old friends again

it's just something that's like yeah

it's all calms me down and I think well

I am going to see them and then as soon

as I'm back there I'm gonna want to be

back here so it's fine

um whereas during covered when I first

came out here I thought we'd be out here

for like roughly a year obviously we

ended up being out for like over two

years without seeing my family and yeah

not knowing when we were going to see my

family not knowing when I was gonna come

home was definitely a struggle for some

for me I'm very close to my family so

it's a struggle for me

um but now but like the last like year

that I've been here and obviously all

the borders are open and I'm I was like

right where I'm seeing my family

February I'm seeing my family in you

know December like it was very like I'm

fine I'm I'm fine with the fact that I

live far away because I know and I'm

gonna see them so if you are someone

that gets like homesick or you're

worried about moving out here missing

your family

I would just say sort of like roughly

pre-pan I don't know if I even have to

book flights or anything but just have

like a general idea of when you want to

visit home again

preferably in the UK summer so you skip

this awful weather and last last off

because I sort of combined all of my

points into one

I feel like I've just rambled in this

video but whatever

and personally coming out here if I

moved out here again I would not room

share I would house share sorry I would

not house chair at all I would come out

and find a lease straight away I had me

and my partner had a lot of bad

experiences with room sharing when we

first got here and it took us about

two years or just under two years to

actually be like okay why don't we just

look for our own place because

we're obviously not like it's just a lot

of differences you know you're with

people from all around the world so it's

cultural differences it's

like levels of standards are different

um and

in hindsight we put ourselves through a

lot of drama that we could have easily

missed out on if we're just found

ourselves like a place a lease on our

own from the offset so yeah and they do

do short month short-term leases

obviously there's like a mad rental

crisis at the moment but it is possible

we got three month lease uh they

definitely do six month leases we're

currently on a one-year lease so even

getting leases doesn't like tie you down

to one place you are able to get

short-term releases

and then finish them and then like pack

up and move basically I feel like I've

definitely rambled but I hope those

little points have been

uh helpful just to summarize summarize

what I've said basically don't get

locked down into one place

move around when you get here do your

traveling live in different places try

different areas out sort of like

pre-plan to have a chiller when you're

over here career-wise

um just pick up casual jobs you know

you'll have a lot more flexibility with

it and a lot more freedom which is

exactly the sort of thing you want over

here because there's so many different

opportunities you just want to be able

to be like yeah sure I'll come there

with you or yeah let's go on holiday

here you don't want a job that will

um tie you down because you could just

be doing that back in the UK you know

have a general idea of when you're going

to go back to the UK

if you don't like if you're not supposed

to your family or you don't miss your

family much then you probably don't even

need to do that but as a very like home

body girl I I needed to do that

basically it's made me feel a lot better

yeah and then just also consider

what your living situation will be best

for like in hindsight I wouldn't have

lived with the people that I lived with

in the past but saying that

if it had been like a group of like

friends I'd already had out here people

that I knew then it would have probably

been a completely different experience

so I would just say like

get to know people before you live with

them basically that is my advice on that

one get to know people

but that's it I hope this has been

helpful sorry for rambling um and I will

see you in next week's video bye and

good luck if you're moving out here
