- Migrating to another country is not easy. In fact, it's a huge challenge and life-turning point, and it's not for everyone. Here I talk about the main migration challenges you may face, drawing on my experience moving to Australia. If you're a migrant, feel free to share yours in the comments below :)

As an Australian, I found this video accurate. The professional job market is competitive but studying locally and volunteering is 100% the way to go. Locals often do this to secure work too. Once you settle into the country and start earning good money, you’ll have a wonderful lifestyle. And Australian-English can difficult to understand for a non-native English speaker. You will probably never fully understand all the idioms and colloquialisms - there are too many.
It's even hard to get a volunteer job in a professional field in Australia. Finishing with a distinction does not make it easier in getting a job . It's crazy. That place is crazy.
Australia is an open air prison.
@@FullSugarBrah You're an American yeah?
@@catherina2611 100% American, talking about prison when they have more incarcerated than any country in the world. Land of the free hahaha

I will be moving to Australia anytime now from literally other side of the world (Ireland) & I really want to praise you for your work and videos! Your videos are so informative and detailed as If I'm talking to a friend who is on-site and giving me a "ground-reality" knowledge. Please keep your videos coming. More power to you bud.
I faced difficult and painful situations, including abandoning my country and home due to the war. But I found hope in going to Australia after learning positive information about it. Now, my family and I are waiting for the request to be accepted. We are in a state of anticipation and hope that it will be accepted.
Good luck. If you are genuine and persistent you will suceed. Welcome.
I lived in Canada for twenty years. It was like a relationship with a person. At the start, all the quirks and differences are adorable. After a while they become annoying. But like any good marriage, the initial passion gets replaced with acceptance of the faults and a friendship. Good luck, great to have you here.😊
I came to Australia in 1961, at the age of 17 to go to university. I studied Bachelor of Commerce & graduated as an accountant. To start my professional career I had to take a job as an accounts clerk. Then I kept searching for a job as an accountant. After 1 year I got a job with a firm of public accountants, that’s the start of my professional career.
Having lives in Australia for more than 60 years & also worked & lived in many countries overseas, I must say Australia is the best country.
All Australian citizens can go to university, under the HECS scheme, the government provides an interest free loan to the students to pay for their fees. After graduation, the student repays the loan once their income reaches a certain level. So no Australian can say “I can’t afford to go to university”.
Australia has a Medicare system which provides free or discounted medical fees. For pensioners, they buy medicines at a huge discount & they also receive free medical in many cases.
Retired people with insufficient income can apply & receive the Aged Pension.
Our government provides lots of social services not available in many other countries (not even the USA, the richest country). Our government looks after our people.
I love Australia & never regretted choosing Australia as my country.
The pros you are mentioning are very basic for central and northern European countries, so I guess you are mostly comparing it to the UK and the USA.
But the weather is definitely better in Australia for most parts in comparison with Northern Europe except maybe for the brutally hot summers...
What I'd miss the most is the diverse cultures we have in Europe and the possibility to travel any time abroad.
And well, if you have great family and/or political connections and if you don't quite care about paying off HECS for 10-15 years, of course Australia would be perfect...
How in the hell did you get a scholarship as a migrant?
@@isabelenau3934 maybe law was different back in the days.
hecs or help is not interest free, is charge base on indexation!
Don’t worry about your accent. As an Australian born I don’t care. Sometimes it can be a challenge but we are all human and that’s what makes the World great with different accents.
You certainly don’t need a car if you live in an area with good public transport. If you travel once or twice per year into the countryside, hiring a car is a great option.
U have a very nice nature mate
Is it a good thing to move to Australia now?
I thought exactly the same thing. We love the accents.
You're so kind and... simple))) it's a pleasure to watch your videos! Great work! Thank you, Martina!
I'm headed to Australia, and I must say, your videos have been incredibly insightful and concise. Thank you for your valuable guidance 😊
Thank you very much, the graph is exactly what I experienced! You laid out the challenges in a very direct and positive way too!!
It is difficult to land a professional job in Australia, even as someone born and educated here. There is nepotism "who you know not what you know". Enjoyed the video & I'm glad you migrated here, you are an asset to the country.
I've never seen any "nepotism" ever. I've always found jobs easy in NSW and QLD
@@ultravioletzombie There are studies (ie using the same resume, but changing just the name) that show you are more likely to be called for an interview if you have an Anglo/Celtic or European name than from other cultures.
Nepotism is global and if you’re going to be employed by someone who is into it then you’ll probably end up hating that job. Try changing your perspective to being positively productive when you are employed. Too often I hear about lack of commitment.
@@Elkycreates This probably happens everywhere; India, China etc That said, I see Asians, Africans, Indians employed everywhere in Australia. Asians probably have an edge, as do Whites and Indians as they aren't as lazy and are more reliable
Lol seriously the jobless rate is at all time low but people like you will always complain 😂
I fell in love with Australia. I wasn’t able to extend my visa and unfortunately I had to go back to Toronto. I still can’t shake the feeling that I almost had a better life in the palm of my hand and I lost that opportunity forever.
I've been living in Australia for over 30 years ,it's a great country ,most people are nice ,great opportunities to be successful and rase a family .but if you are from the other side of the world and have a strong feeling for ur country of origin you will definitely struggle emotionally, and it can only get worse as you get older . you can't just say I'm going to visit my family for the weekend as it takes more than a weekend jut to fly there!
I and my husband (Nigerians) ; are planning to relocate from Abu Dhabi UAE, asides from Melbourne , which other part of Australia can you suggest?
@@vickieogb1262 Sydney. Plenty of opportunities. I reckon it’s the best spot to start your life here
@@vickieogb1262 better go to the US especially since you're from Nigeria
@@vickieogb1262 you mentioned Melbourne, I think is best place to settle down, is the most multicultural and affordable ,especially in the outer suburbs and just to remind you it been voted the most liveable city in the world 7 times in a row!
Are you from Algeria ?
It depends on the type of person you are, if you're really attached to your home country culture, habits, and friends, you shouldn't migrate to any country, you can probably have more fun by being a simple tourist for a few weeks, but if you're like me, that you looking out for peace, had a bad family throughout your life, never really fit with your surroundings and already fought loneliness by appreciating time with yourself, so moving to a place like Australia, would be a great choice, of course it takes effort but if you allow yourself to embrace Aussie habits, you'll find a new home and you'll forget your old life
Getting your 1st job is hard without Australian experience especially if u are not from the "West/developed world". Next biggest hurdle is buying the first property. Your life significantly improves after that.
Thank you very much about the thought surrounding first property...
Buying a property in Sydney is very difficult especially with all the migrants coming in
I'm currently in the process of planning a move to Australia, and watching this video has provided invaluable clarity on many aspects. I sincerely appreciate your insightful input.
I was watching other video about English class (especially slang and some colloquial forms from Australia) and suddenly (coincidence i guess) this video appeared as ‘recommendation’ on RUclips. What a incredible video, you don’t have idea about how helpful it is!
I’ve been in Melbourne almost 6 months and im depressed for many things that i never expected before to arrived here, and actually i never took into account before, but every single word that you said, were mi medicine to believe that is just part of the process, and at the end is something necessary. Thanks a lot. ❤
So glad the vids help, thank you so much for your comment :)
Indeed..Melbourne is ugly and depressing...Do not give up...I have been living in Melbourne city for a while...What does not kill you make you stronger...you never loose.....you either win or learn...Keep going with your life plan..💪
I WAS IN AUSTRALIA 27 YEARS AGO AND ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. STAYED THER FOR ALMOST A YEAR AND GRNERALLY HAD THE BEST TIME OF MY LIFE. NOW I'M 53 WITH A BRITISH WIFE AND 2 TEENAGE KIDS. I FEEL THAT I WISH I COULD GO BACK THERE, THIS TIME TO SETTLE, BUT I'M AFRAID IT'S NOT REALISTIC NOW IN MY SITUATION IN LIFE AND AGE.
I lived in the UK for 15 years and have been living in Canada for 20 years. I think my life in Australia is going to be a piece of cake.
I can easily find a job in Australia and get adapted to Australian work culture.
Many thanks! I believe that your work has helped many people.
I am about to move to Australia and your videos have helped me a lot, I feel nervous and excited at the same time.
I’ve been here for almos 4 months as my first experience overseas, it’s amazing finding these type of videos so you realise you’re not the only person having bad days or struggling with daily stuffs. I thought only Colombians or Latin-American people had these difficulties but thanks , finally it makes the experience more valuable since everybody is starting over here. Thanks.
Even British people have troubles dealing with leaving everything behind and starting over even though we speak the same language.
I’ve been here for almost 10 years now and all what I can say is you gotta earn it to stay. It’s not easy. It will challenge you in many many ways, but extremely rewarding.

Where are you originally from ?
@@bradleywebster2227 I’m Brazilian, Bradley
I know this video was a year and a half ago, but as an Australian, you need to update with the factor that we're having a nationwide housing crisis and finding a place to live is $$$ very expensive and also very difficult. Some cities have 50 people turning up to each inspection (1-2 bdrms), and rents have absolutely skyrocketed. Most foreigners won't want to be out of the cities, but even regional places rentals are really hard to get and also expensive - post-Covid and natural disasters like flooding that have displaced towns etc.
Great presentation, clear concise
Thank you for clips saying about Australia. I appreciate these clips
Sehr gut geklärt.
Danke schön
Great video, thank you! The settlement curve is really interesting, When I moved to Australia I experienced exactly this; I started on a high, then went through several jobs and addresses in the first 12 months, then after that it all settled down - and so did I. It takes a while for any new place to feel like home so it's really interesting to see the research behind that.
This is great. I need to move to Australia and I feel that you can help me get a job. If you don't mind help out
You are such an inspiring person. I love your voice, your accent.. thank you for this video!
Thank you so much for these videos 😊
Thank you for genuinely sharing！I get a lot of useful information from here.
I am Australian born and I would never move to another country just for a job . On the other hand or several hands there is nothing wrong with anyone's accent ,most Australian or at least a fair percentage including myself cannot speak another language . My girlfriend is currently living in Russia but she is a Ukrainian citizen by birth and it is very time consuming and expensive for her to get into Australia and she only knows a little English but she has me to come to and I will be very willing to teach her how to speak English like a local without any swearing of course .
Good luck to everyone who wants to come to live in Australia as we appreciate you even though some idiots have bad attitudes to foreigners but luckily they are in the minority . Michael
@Sanctus Paulus 1962 She has been moving around for at least 7 years with her Mum and Child and is only living in Russia because I think it would be much safer than being in Eastern Ukraine which is where she originally lived before the idiot Putin decided to attack for no reason .

@@SanctusPaulus-ic5gl My point is, what a weird question to ask. It's none of your business....
Such a great video! I’m an Australian living in the Netherlands, and could relate to this video a lot especially the settlement curve and finding a job in a foreign country 🤍 and the Australian accent is a tough one even for native speakers 😂 looking forward to hearing more about Australian life through a different perspective :)
Good onya Girl...
you are correct in saying how 'Brave" you were or in fact anybody, is in leaving your home and family and friends and moving to another country. Its not easy and the' locals' don't understand or appreciate what sometimes is great loneliness, they think you have come to land of milk and honey so why be sad. . You have to be strong and brave to carry on push through that hard time. Its not perfect here, nor do I want it to be as how would we decide to improve and move ahead. I was born and grew up here during the 60 and 70's and live in the UK during early 80's and again late 90's... a bit or reverse situation, through all of that I can see and experience the GREAT benefits immigration has meant to this country.
YOU MAKE EXCEPTIONAL CONTENT, you are making Australia a better, more inclusive and more empowered nation. Thank you for coming to AUS, sticking it out and making us all better.
Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much Dominic for such lovely words :)
Hello Martina, I just want to thank you dearly for taking your time and your knowledge in making these informative videos. I’m 57 and I’m about to move to Australia from the US. I don’t want to be ignorant of Australia and it’s people prior to coming and hopefully living the rest of my life there! Your video’s, I find are the most educational and helpful in all facets of knowing how to do everything from “soup to nuts” in Australia. It’s very intimidating moving to a strange country as an adult, I am definitely a bit nervous about being accepted, especially coming from the USA, which is no very liked in most countries! Anyhow, I’m extremely excited to be coming to such a diverse, beautiful country and I very much look forward to getting to know everything I possibly can about Australia through your videos! So yeah, thank you again, and who knows maybe one day I’ll see you and be able to thank you on the streets of Melbourne! 🥰
Hi Carolyn, thank you so much for the lovely words and feedback about the channel, really appreciate it! And so exciting that you've decided to make the move. Migrating is indeed a challenge and can be pretty intimidating but it's definitely worth the try! especially to such a beautiful country like Australia. So congrats on taking this step. Wishing you all the best, thank you again, Martina.
I would love to hear about your experience. I am in the US. I am looking to relocate when I retire, I have not decided where. Your input and opinions will be valuable. I wish you the best transition ever! Remember you wanted this, the ups and downs will happen anywhere we live.
😊😊😊
@@zaynab2085 You may experience difficulty in securing permanent residency in Australia.
If you don’t mind my asking, what kind of visa were you able to acquire? I also want to move to AU but I am getting discourage to pursue because my qualifications need to be evaluated, they are asking for syllabus of all classes that I took, signatures of my clinicians where I did my clinic hours etc. I’ve been out of college for over a decade and most of my professors are retired so I don’t even know where to start, after that then have to look for a job that can sponsor me. I am in healthcare industry. Do they give visa to people who are close to retirement?if so which visa, just wondering.
I’m sure I’ll feel this when we make the move! But I’m going to push through!
So pleasant language for me, as not native speakers ❤very interesting, thanks!
Signora, you seem to have settled quite well. Molto Bene, and Grazie per la videos
I really love your videos. Thank you for sharing so much information with all of us.
I have recently moved to Sydney, and I must say I feel so lonely here. Your video gives me so much positivity.
We were there recently for a visit ( as tourists) we fell in love with Sydney. It’s really interesting to know someone else’s perspective.. I was with someone when I went there and always wondered what do others feel as a resident vs a tourist. I romanticize living there. Good luck and best wishes to you. I hope you won’t be lonely for long.
At least you are there. Best wishes from Eu.
This is the first video from your channel that I’m watching and I really liked it!
My wife and have moved to AU back in 2016 and it’s been nearly 7 years and we’re yet to find the sense of belonging. Now living in Melbourne (we have also lived in Sydney and Adelaide), we feel further away from being part of community 😢. We now have 2 kids and this might helps us to meet more people and finally create this sense of belonging (if it’ll ever happen).
The last part about having to have car is very true! Living close to the city is expensive, but if you live far away, then you’ll need a car and it’ll be expensive too 😓
Tu é do Brasil, é??? E tu não gosta de morar aí?
Don't you like living there?
very helpful, thank you!
I will be in Australia anytime later and I read many things about Australia so I can adapt easily in a short time.
Thx for informations ❤
Planning to move to Australia with my family..thanks for the video
Con este video, practiqué varias palabras y dichos nuevos.. Gracias otra vez!
Absolutely true! I experienced something similar and finally settled in own profession. It's a journey worth living.
Great video, I'm a radiographer and moved from the UK to Oman.. I pretty much had all those feelings when migrating but had started to feel a little more settled after the one year mark. I'm probably going to go through it all over again when I migrate to Australia in a few years!
Wow, you are one inspiring lady!
I found your video was very informative. I love it 👍🙏
Absolutely true! I experienced something similar in USA. Good luck!!!
This thing called migration is like a addiction, it’s a loop as I recently recognized ’cause you’ll never settle in. You’re looking to another place, always looking something else. You’re not settled. Break that loop you’re in.
And how to break that loop, kamal, do you have any advice? :)
@@PiaRxxxx i am in the loop too. Migration brings some kind of emotional boost but it works only for a short period of time and once realized that it was an error, it starts again. I lived in 3 countries in Europe and now I am in the 4th round and I always feel like it is not what I wish and I just want to leave. Well, countries in Europe are pretty the same, especially since the EU started. Makes no sense to move around the EU countries. Next time I go to another continent. Far from here. Like Australia.
@@BabyOleg Thans for sharing your experience, Serafima! That sounds like a lot of moving. Have you ever considered that you're not running towards something but from something?
@@PiaRxxxx Hey, sorry for the late reply! I would say just have faith in your current country you live in. If no, just choose to emigrate to one country and promise yourself that you're not going to move to anywhere else. There's no a perfect place on earth. Don't look for perfection otherwise you'll end up lost; no community, no satisfaction, no nothing. Just believe in your current place and strive hard to make it a better place.
@@kamal-hassan Thank you very much for your encouraging advice, I appreciate it! :)
Thanks for sharing your insight 👍
Thank You for your valuable video 😊 . Very accurate! I thought these perception was only me! Thank You ❤ God Bless 🙏
I wish i was born in Australia, my dad had the opportunity to move to Australia when he was in his 20's,i wish he had taken the plunge instead of been here in the UK. I think the standard of living in Australia is much better than in the UK

I love this girl ! - I moved to London at 26 from Melbourne. I didnt know what was happening to me really. Finding some friends from your own country can help you reconcile the differences and what you love, what pisses you off, and strengths and weaknesses in each culture. And maybe the why. BUT I still would have loved to have had this knowledge then. ( The commercial internet on 14k modems had just begun so RUclips wouldn't even stream then :-) Grazia Bella !
Moving from an English colony to England is nothing. You are over dramatizing.
Oh God! I'm so lucky for finding your channel. I moved to Darwin just one month ago and I've been struggling almost with everything you say in this video.
Hello G, Did you secure a job yet?
Hey my friend. I was born in Melbourne but lived in Europe. Darwin and QLD is generally in my view a throw back to the 1970s. Very unworldly people. The former Premier Joe Bielki Peterson left a big bad mark on the culture. Making them very suspicious and convict corrupt. I hope you have a good time there and in Australia, but many Aussies born here view it that way. But have a schooner for me bud ! Ciao. Marco
@@markmccormack9026 you're soooooo right. This is a village. I've spent almost four months here without finding a job yet.
@@teopolinasundayihuhua2770 no. I mean if you are a professional who wants to boost your career, I don't think Darwin is the right place to come.
As a kiwi that’s lived in australia the last 9 years I’m happy to be moving back to NZ. Yes the pay is much better in australia but life’s not just about a bunch of numbers. NZ is way cleaner and tidier and some things are cheaper, car registration and insurance etc as well as other things. Cost of living is higher in many ways in NZ but then there’s more to ‘living’ than the basic costs of survival. Life is about what you can DO with the money you have. Try going to the million mountains lakes or glaciers there are in NZ in australia, you can’t! Likewise if great beaches, the beach lifestyle and money is all you care about, live in australia which is way better for those things. I’ve never wanted australian citizenship, not if it was offered on a silver platter. I really couldn’t care less. Not my country and no interest in living my life out here. In NZ I can drive to hike mountains or fish in rivers after a short drive from my city in NZ, be on a ski field in an hour or be mountain biking down trails a thousand different places. It’s all relative to what your interests are and what you want to do. All the stuff I like including landscape photography is free in NZ… people are gonna say THAT’S not quality of life? They must be joking…
@@johnwoodancientcelt8115If you’ve stayed there for bloody 46 years surely you like it 😂😂
👏👏👏Indeed...."Kia Ora"...I am a "Kiwi / Spaniard" as well...New Zealand is so COOL...you are 100% right in your point of view....I think the same as you...I live in Australia but I do not care about Australian citizenship...🤣🤣🤣...More than happy to move back to NZ...People in NZ are nice, and NZ is so beautiful...💛 !!!!
This is spot on. If you are not too much into scenery, tramping, fishing, and all those outdoor activities, then you will find NZ extremely boring. Money is not a guaranteee to make you and you family happy. "Being contented" and "grateful" everyday are a keys.
You are inspiring 🎉 love your video
Hi, nice video hun.
I am Australian …I know it’s not perfect here that’s for sure . I’m glad you stuck it out to get back to the smiley face.hehe. I have many overseas friends. What I tell them is when they get invited to an aussies home for a bbq just take a plate with a food from their own country for them to try. Don’t bottle yourself up in your own nationality..many do this and it doesn’t help..I have had many come that hardly speak any English. It doesn’t bother me and I also find it funny when the pronunciation is a little off..but then again I love languages..not that I speak any other than fluent Aussie..I hope people from overseas that are thinking of joining us here will see this video and do some research..it’s expensive yes..wages are high so that counter balances it a bit. But I’m sure they will love it..
Thank you, this is helpful
Great video. Btw from where did you migrate to Australia ?
I wish I would had found this kind on content on You-Tube 17-18 years ago. I moved to Australia in 2005 and for the first 6 months, I wouldn't say I like it. The only reason I didn't go back to Venezuela was that I didn't have money to pay for the ticket ( I came with a one-way ticket ). Now, having my family here, I consider myself lucky. Australia is not perfect, but at least you still get opportunities in this country.
Immigrants who can work through all these challenges are the type of people who make immigrant countries like Australia great - get up and go, courageous, hard working, resilient, smart, etc, etc.
amazing guidance
My Late Uncle left Greek Island Paradise at the young age16 yrs and worked as a SEAMEN throughout the world during 1950-1970 and settled in Australia only for that reason! A great Choice- the land of milk and honey! Canada was a close 2nd only because of its snow!
When I visited Australia in my early 20ies, I always wanted to move there. Over time, getting jobs, relationships, I stayed in Europe and built a life there. Today, I think I would't like to move to Australia anymore. I think the people and nature are great, by I'm just afraid finding a brown snake or a taipan in my bed or my kitchen in the morning, honestly.
Only ever seen one snake in 42 years I live in Perth WA…it’s a silly myth that there are killers on every corner !!!!!
i've lived in Australia my whole life (36 years), mostly near creeks, and i've never actually seen a snake in the wild. they're there don't get me wrong, but they want to avoid us as much as we want to avoid them!
I've seen hundreds of snakes in the bush but they never bother people Christoph. They don't want to waste their venom on a human. 99% of the people bitten are from people trying to catch them. Come and visit. Cheers.
Thank you for the sharing
That graph terribly resembles the typical dopamine crash that follows after prolonged excitement; you drop below the baseline and feel down and then slowly rise back to your baseline of feeling "normal"
Thank you for your really insightful and thoughtful videos. I’m in the process of planning my move over as a skilled migrant - really appreciate it.
Really great content. We are busy with our 189 permanent residency visa on skilled migration right now. Hopefully will have the visa in a few months and make the move early 2023.
Your videos are really helping with understanding the little bits of the process. Even though we have have been on holiday to Australia before, moving there permanently - its definitely going to be a challenge.
Did you make the move?
@@kameshganeshan2894 not yet. Actually made a move to UK in the interim
I'm in the process of preparing my paper for immigration to Australia. and more comfortable after watching this video. and I hope to communicate and be friends soon.
i have lived in sydney for longer than 20 years. now dont get me wrong. i am still getting disappointed more here. i have never been to other cities in australia. i will see if my phase can be placed in bounce-up trend after visiting other cities. hopefully. fingers crossed.
Finding a job is hard for anyone especially if you go through a personnel consultant because there's so much competition. I would go direct to the company you want to work for and tell the decision maker why you love their company so much.
No you tell the company why your better value then anyone else 😏
Thank you am learning.
bravo again, yes the truth is that we have qualifications but we afraid to work in Melbourne with our degrees... its so pity

good video, gives me some insights into how my wife feels (south American)
Hey u make great content about reality of life in australia..I m new here in perth and missing my backhome so badly 😢 feeling lonley and language is biggest barrier and that curve is 👍 so rightly shown.. getting house is such a huge task in australia...I m in shock by the process of getting a rental houses here..
That curve gave me motivation that things will get better and I will get settled..
But for a start it is bit tough here and i got frightened by some incidents here..
Thanks for creating lovely videos it gives some clarity 😊
Mahir, keep going mate! Don’t get scared. It will slowly get better! Go for it!
I’m so sorry you’re experiencing that difficulties. I’m about to make the move to Australia, what are your honest advice? I’m sorry for the loneliness you’re feeling. That’s why I always rethink about this migration. Hope it all goes well and smooth, don’t he discouraged, always remember why you’ve left your home country. Have a goal you want to accomplish and get busy about that.
You need to remember that is the government who wants you here, not the population in general,we are ok with things as they are
@@sandrathompson1277 what ahahahaha
@mahirshah1757 sorry to hear about your frightening experience. Care to elaborate on that? I have always traveled to Australia in the past, and eventually, accepted a job and moved to Perth last May. I think having a busy job made me feel less lonely. I also love the diversity. I enjoy conversations with foreigners here. But the difficulty of moving around without a car has taken me aback, among other things. It's almost a written rule that if you live in Perth, you must own a car. There's public transport, but not as frequent, and not as extensive as we want them to be. On the language part - I speak and can comprehend English, but Aussie English is to the next level. My brain has to work really hard to comprehend. It gets easier over time. But I can only imagine the struggle for those who aren't fluent yet. My piece of advice - don't be shy to ask them to repeat what they said, and to do so slowly. Be sure you understand each other. It's a responsibility of both parties to make sure he/she is understood by the other party. Imagine if it's a life-and-death situation. Or a critical info at the workplace. So don't be shy and afraid to tell people that you hardly understand what they're saying. And of course, do your best to learn the Aussie English well. And don't try too hard to imitate the accent. It's not the most important. As of writing, I'm still thinking of going back to my country. Or maybe it's that phase that the video was talking about. Australia is certainly a great country - safe, beautiful, friendly and educated populate, efficient, systematic, typically fair, the list goes on. But just like any other country, Australia is not perfect, and we have to be reasonable and realistic of our expectations.
I'm conflicted about Australia. I could move there but I'm aware there's a massive housing crises there too. It costs alot to get set up, find accommodation, buy a vehicle and get settled into a new job etc.. Its worth the risk if you dont see a future where you live currently, but definitely worth doing your research.. perhaps go over, visit for a holiday to see how it feels.. talk to the locals and make some contacts before making any big decisions.
Don't move here now will get worse
@@anthonycalleja7223 It sounds like it.. I was in Sydney last month, it was very difficult to find affordable accommodation. The Air bnb was very expensive .. the fact that many are paying 350 / 400 plus for a 1 bedroom shared flat is absolutely unbelievable..
@@JD-wx3pk yea man I was in Europe for 5 months in that time things are alot worse I am back in Sydney at the moment thinking to sell up and move before things get really bad
@@anthonycalleja7223 that may be a good idea mate. I'm glad I kept my place in New Zealand. Very lucky 🍀 to live here. Good luck with your travels mate
@@JD-wx3pk ah cool I was just working with a friend from their .. yes I think better remove the assets I will reinvest in birth place Malta
I have so much admiration for immigrants especially if they have to learn a new language
I have lived in Australia for 18 years and am 20 now. I travelled back to the US have a well union full time job however i haven't settled in Australia. I noticed the propertys over in the US are way better designed with much better cars for an affordable price.
I also felt Australia was very work based and boring even in Sydney where propertys and the cost of living are extremely high.
Also the community in australia doesn't feel as charitable as some overseas along with many young adults I know having tall poppy sydrome 😢
Just wanted to hear your thoughts however i want to finish my contract and leave Australia to start new
Lived and travelled to and fro Australia. Quite nice a weather. Ofc the job industry would differ by age and qualifications plus the diversity management hasn't changed much since forever
Tell me how much are rentals in Australia,1room,
Sydney most suburbs apart from our west you will pay $600/750 for a one bedroom apartment (very average, low quality) IF you are lucky to find one. Most rentals have anything up to 60 people applying to rent it.
I hope you will reach out...is it possible to travel from Zambia to Australia without out any degree or delpoma and can you find a job in Australia
There are different parts of Australia and the realities in each part are different. The video presenter is basically in a greener and wetter part of a big city and not in the smaller drier towns.
I was born and raised in the US and I have Australian/US dual citizenship because my dad is Australian. I’ve thought about moving there before.
This is an interesting point! I was born in Australia, now live in US and am a dual citizen. Both my children (born in US) were able to receive AU citizenship quite easily, just for the effort & cost of some forms and fees. Plus, if they reside in Australia for a total of 2 years (doesn't have to be continuously), they will be also able to pass on AU citizenship to their children in the same way! Pretty cool. With AU's treaty with NZ, they can now easily live and work in three countries.
Don’t wait move now to the best country in the world
Unless you’re coming here with bulk cash, I wouldn’t bother. The cost of housing (both renting and buying) is utterly insane and the cost of living rising massively. If you’ve got a decent paying job in the US, you will be financially worse off in Australia
Thank you so much for your videos and support ❤🙌🏻 it really helps a lot!

It adds an extra layer of difficulty being non-white as well.
We are just easy targets for people to point their finger to.
I feel so guilty as well because if I am actually making someone's life worse by improving my quality of life I'd have to question myself if it was truly worth it.
Come on people in shops are more helpful in Australia than anywhere else I have been. No worries!
Hi, Martina. Thanks for this insightful content
How hard would it be getting a job in Australia in the field of PR and/Comunication, being a Portuguese who had studied in his hometown. I am seriously pondering moving overseas, and Australia attracts me because I've been brought up by the sea (Im an islander too). I am just wary of not seeing my academical path recognized, because I graduate from a completely different background.
Much appreciated an insight.
You are great. Simply marvellous. In which city do you live?
