- it's been a while and I'm so sorry I haven't updated you guys for a hot minute. Well, I did it. I finally moved to the country of my dreams. In this video you're gonna see the last things I do before moving abroad and my flight to Sydney. I'm very excited and grateful to share my journey with you.
You did the right thing. I'm an Aussie who has lived in Germany (Munich) and although Germany is a very nice place, I could never live there when i compare it to Australia, especially Sydney where I am from. It is so much better in Australia in every way. You will love it and be very happy with your decision! You are also very brave and should be very proud of yourself!
I totally agree! Germany is not bad, it’s okay to live there but definitely not great. With the weather conditions there it will never be great and Australia has so much more to offer in terms of beaches, nature, animals etc. 3 months in and I‘m loving it so far!!
I always admire young people who pack up their lives and move to another country. Good luck in Sydney, I've lived here all my life and love it.
left Korea at 26 too pretty much the same situation as you were. landed in Sydney and it was bit rough at first but I'm still here after almost two years now planning on going to college to take a path to get a permanent residency. My life still isn't easy to be honest but at least here I have purpose and free. Good luck to you fellow backpacker!
It definitely can be hard at first so hope it goes all well for you in Sydney 👍 good luck mate
I moved to Australia when I was 28 and still here 24 years later. Good on you for giving it a go!!
Wow I‘m so happy for you! I hope it’s gonna be the same for me 🥹
I moved here at 32 and am still here 20years later.
Had the same feelings as you when I was younger, and it led to me moving to another city (Melbourne) for 5 years after living my whole life in Sydney.. and then again the chance to move away to the UK for work. I got to travel a lot in that 7 year period too so what was interesting for me was the homesickness combined with seeing Sydney in a much better light having moved away from it. Have been back here since 2018 and whilst it's not a perfect city, it does have such a great balance of weather, opportunity and people. I know not everyone will have the same experience as me, but when you find the things that tick the boxes that you need to live a happy life, you damn well better do your best be in that place.
Good luck with your journey and welcome!
This is so serendipitous, I just quit my job to travel/move overseas and the RUclips algorithm recommends your video! Loving your journey so far.
That’s so sweet, thank you!! 🥰
Welcome to Australia, hope your new home gives you a new lease on life and improves your mental outlook.Enjoy the weather and our laid back lifestyle 😊.
Aw, thank you so much!! Been here for the past 3 months and so far, it’s awesome! 🥹🇦🇺
@dublsrz I agree with your comments. I am always saying hello to tourists who visit our wonderful country. They have hinted at moving to Australia and I have replied that if you do you are welcome. This country has a lot to offer.
35 years here, I arrived from Ireland to have a working holiday. Ended up getting married and staying. (Yes it caused horrendous problems re visas and such like) We moved from WA to Tasmania 10 years ago and are now retired and living our best life. I hope Australia is as good to you and it was to us. My one tip.. travel every chance you get, this country has so many faces and moods. ❤
This sounds so lovely I’m so happy that it worked out for you and that you found not only your soulmate but your true happiness here! 🇦🇺🥰
Welcome to Australia. It's a nice place to live and many beautiful things to see.
I don't know how I ended up here, however, I find the way you tell your stories very nice, very slowed paced, and... somehow, simple, in an era where everything happens so quick. I also decided to move abroad... very abroad and it was definitely one of the best decisions I've made and I am sure so will be yours. I really enjoyed my lunch with this video, thank you!
That’s so sweet, thank you! 🥹❤️ really glad to hear that you enjoyed the slower pace of this video. The fact that you also moved abroad and didn’t regret it is really reassuring and inspiring 🥰 wishing you all the best
First time I am viewing your vlog I gather you have been in Sydney for a while ....welcome ! hope its been a good experience so far cheers G
Best decision you ever made. I first came to Australia 64 years ago, married a local and stayed. Left a couple of times for career and vacations but always returned.
This truly sounds like a dream! I’m really happy for you and hope to be in the same position one day!
Well done you, you only have now, tomorrow is not promised so if not now, when?!
Be so very proud of yourself because it's no easy thing to jump headfirst into change.
I did it myself 15 years ago and now I live in paradise. My young self wouldn't recognise me, or where I'd be today. 😊
Enjoy your new life, whatever happens, it's all future memories!
You’re absolutely right! Good on you for following your dreams and making that change! Change without knowing the exact outcome seems scary but what I find scarier is being stuck and not moving forward. Anyway, thanks for sharing your wisdom with us! 🥰
G'Day Begibou,,,It's lovely to see you moving to Sydney, I hope you have a great life while you are here in Australia. When it comes to parents wanting to decide what you do, and don't do, it all comes down to yourself, after all it is your life. I am sure your mum will understand your decision after awhile, sometimes it just takes time..Don't feel down, get back up off your feet and have a happy, cheerful life in your new Country. Once you make friends life will become much easier. All the Best....
Thanks for sharing a piece of your knowledge and wisdom ☺️ slowly my mom is coming to terms with it and things are getting better between us
Welcome to Australia young lady. I hope you realise all your dreams here! Don’t fixated on Sydney as your sole destination to move to. There are many beautiful cities / places in this huge wide land - so keep an open mind. Cheers!
Thank you so much! I know, it would be a shame to come here and not explore it to the fullest. I’m moving to Cairns soon to look for jobs and I can’t wait to explore it! 🙂↔️
@@Begibou I was up there last winter. A week in Cairns, another in Port Douglas. I loved Port Douglas ( lifestyles of the rich and famous ). . . It gets a bit hot and sweaty in summer but this time of year its glorious. You might find work on Green or Hamilton Island.
Good luck there! Have fun.
@@johngodden4363 wow thank you for your advice, that sounds very promising! :) If I can't find work in Cairns, I'll try my luck at the places you mentioned!!
A brave move I hope it all works out for you. Just be sure it won't be easy all the time but I'm sure whatever happens you will be better for it.
You’re right about that! I think it will get easier with time. Hope I’ll reach that point soon 😮💨
Glad you are ok😃 and good to see you again. Looking forward to you showing us more of australia 💖🙋♂️
Thank you for caring about my safety!! Hehe🥰 I’ll update you with more vlogs soon :)
I hope you love our beautiful country as much as I do.
I have no doubt that it will be an adjustment period but I am sure that the more you see/experience the "lucky country" the more you will love it.
I really do! It’s been 3 months and it felt like home from the start 💕
There's nothing worse than feeling trapped, feeling like you can't leave or move on when you want to or need to. I felt the sane about 15 years ago, wanted to leave Sydney and move to Melbourne but couldn't. Eventually I did, was so happy! Tho I eventually moved back to Sydney about a year after the pandemic. Wilkommen in Australien. Hope you really enjoy it here, and do lots of travel. Not just flying city to city but get out and about by road. It's a big country, with vast distances, but the open countryside is definitely worth visiting. Es ist wunderbar! Du liebe AUS.
Sorry about my poor German, it's many years since I learnt it LOLOL
Ahh the little German phrases made my day haha, so cute! Thank you for sharing your story, it’s quite interesting to see how many people go through that stage and how often it is not linked to living in a terrible country but rather wanting to experience something new. I’m so happy that you managed to get out and got to explore Melbourne! I’m gonna visit a lot more places in Australia in the future. Cant wait to keep you updated 🥰
Very brave. You will grow chasing your dreams😍
Thank you 🥹🥹💕
Welcome to Aus.. :) hope its going well. Great easy short video.
Welcome to Sydney, as this was posted a couple of months ago how has your experience been so far? It’s funny I have lived in Sydney all my life and want to move to Cologne Germany. New sub.
I was wondering why you didn’t have people at the airport saying goodbye… then the last bit explained about you and your mum and your previous plans for a trip. I’m so sorry you went through that, and I hope you Find nothing but joy and happy adventures in our wide brown land :)
Ahh, my mom did come to the airport with me and we had a proper goodbye even though our relationship was rocky at the start. Now she supports me more with my goals! I just didn’t film that part! ☺️
Australia can get pretty miserable during winter months but when spring\summer comes its amazing! But when it gets hot it really gets HOT! But its nice time to enjoy the best beaches in the world.
Australia miserable in winter? We have a very mild winter and it’s beautiful. There might be a few days when it can get cold and wet but for the majority of the time it’s great. If you think a winter of 17 degrees is miserable then don’t ever spend winter in the northern hemisphere.
You'll be fine, don't you worry. I moved to Munich, Germany when I was 32. I was there for a year, then moved back to Finland. I loved Munich, but that wasn't meant to be more than a year due work. Seven years later I moved to Sydney, and I am here to stay. You will fit right in. There will be people and things you will miss from home, but thankfully communication nowadays works fine (time difference aside). Since this video was posted two months ago, I assume that you have found Lüneburger German Bakery. 😋
You are so brave! Keep it up. Sending all the prayers
Aw that’s so kind! Thank you so much 🥰💕
congrats for making the move. All the best! sydney is expensive tho!
Thank you 🥰 I knooow it’s super expensive but worth it!
@@Begibou i live in Australia but really want to move to America more things to see and do there i find it boring here
@@nikolabakich9709 Same I want to leave Australia for US or Canada and am planning it soon, hopefully it happens
Congratulations 💜 wish you all the best in your new home, Australia is beautiful
Thank you so much 💕 I agree, Australia is amazing!
Male, moved to Australia at the age of 24, no English and aware of the obstacles.
Age 34, having the life I could only dream in my country.
Mattress on the floor, yup, I started like that when I rented my first own egg small studio in Sydney haha
You are young and have a nice personality, don't over think and you'll be okay.
Thank you for sharing a part of your story it’s really interesting to hear about those humble beginnings and how you live through them till you finally end up in a good place :)
Honestly, I have no idea why I ended up watching this video (no related history, other than the fact that I have lived in Sydney most of my adult life). You are an interesting character -- and I do hope you find the Aussie experience has more pros than cons for you 😀
Side question -- why choose vegetarian? -- I am actually interested in your reasons
Welcome to Australia! You should definitely do a meetup with your subscribers who live in Australia, great way for you to meet people and for us to meet you too! You are the best, I have followed you since you started on YT and I am so excited to see where this post of your life journey takes you!
You’re so sweet! 😭 I sure will do a meet & greet at some point in the future! I really want to meet y‘all 🥰 I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos and my journey
Yes you are.
I resonate so much with your feeling of being trapped previously. We're the same age and I'm currently going through the same thing. Hopefully I will be able to move from Adelaide to Queensland in the next year and live my life to the fullest :)
Also I love your sense of humour
Oh wow it’s nice to know that there are people out there who are going through the same thing, as it can be really isolating! I really really hope it works out for you and that you’ll be able to live your life to the fullest 🥰 and thanks for understanding my weird humor hehe 🥹
Nice thoughtful video. I hope everything is going well for you.
Thank you 💕 :)
It's too hot here in Melbourne. It's probably worse in Sydney! I am half Scottish and half Scando. I don't think I was made for this heat 😅.
Man, the “am I dumb” on the cover photo 😂 GREAT VIDEO!
Thanks for understanding my broken humor 🙂↔️ and I’m glad you liked the video!
Strange. I'm considering moving from Australia to Europe, maybe the UK or even, yes, Germany :0 maybe sometimes we all just want a change.
What will you do for work? Sydney is one of the most expensive cities in the world. Rents are very high.
Welcome to Aus! I am actually doing the opposite and going to the UK but I will definitely come back to Australia. I love it here! I am Melbournian but I also do love Sydney (I actually almost moved there 3 years ago)
That is so awesome. Europe is really great and there’s lots to see! Melbourne sounds very intriguing and I’m sure I’ll visit it at some point :) wishing you all the best in the UK 💕
I hope everything is going great for you here in Aus. 👋🏼🌻☕
Thank you so much Kelli! 🥰🇦🇺
Not dumb at all, your following your heart and dreams and will experience what so many ppl never will. But be aware that Sydney is Australia's most expensive city!
Thank you! I already had the painful experience of Australia being very expensive 😮💨
@@Begibou yes but our wages are including minimum wage are some of the highest in the world. Plus we've got free healthcare
Many people have moved to austrailia at young age. Incl myself 😮
well said, follow your heart and desires
Thank you, it’s been 3 months and I couldn’t be happier! 🥹
Maybe some time in the future you might think about moving to a quieter, friendlier, less stressful part of Australia.
But I love Sydney! 🥹💕 doesn’t mean I wouldn’t love to see the other cities and towns :)
you're crazy you are moving to one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in
Just be prepared to never own property and youll be fine
Hahah I lowered all my expectations so that’s okay!
Australia is the safest country on earth, you can walk around the city 3 o'clock on the morning alone and be totally safe. It's NOT like Amerikkka lol
Agreed! That’s why I love it here 💕
@@Begibou Not that I ever walk around 3 in the morning, stuff that I'd rather be in dreamland. If you haven't tried them already, I seriously recommend a pack of rissoles from the supermarket, big meatballs with seasoning ect, some have cheese in them. Aussie's usually have 2 or 3 for dinner served with veges, and the gaytime icecream. Careful you'll get addicted to rissoles and gaytimes lol
9:45 You're so real for this
Smartest thing you've done so far...
That’s reassuring, thanks! ☺️
I have a similar situation as you lol 😂 I keep arguing with my mum about wanting to leave Australia and move to North America
Ohh I can feel that pain 😭 hopefully you’ll make it to your dream destination one day! Wishing you the best of luck
Hey take a trip first. My choice was North America or Australia ( Irish born and bred). Visited the USA and Canada. Loved Canada but couldn't grow to love the cold for 6 months of the year) same with the mid West US. Came to Aus and as they say "the rest was history" WA has the best winters but summers... whew ... so now I'm older and we have settled in Tasmania. Warm summers and cooler (but not freezing) winters. I'm glad I travelled and tried both choices and I'm so glad I choose Aus.
Congrats on moving! I'm curious what the process of getting a visa to move to Australia was like, I assume it's not very easy?
Thank you 💕 I’m here on a working holiday visa, which was really easy to get. You can stay up to 3 years with it :)
Welcome to Australia 🇦🇺 my home, sydney is the most expensive place to live in Australia just so you know! Melbourne is way more affordable
Aw thanks!! 💕 I know.. Sydney is pretty expensive, but I really do love the city. No city is perfect 🥰
I live in Sydney Eastern Suburbs which is my favorite park of Australia just a bit pricey
That sounds lovely 🥰
@@Begibou I saw you have other cooking content from your last video I watched so love cooking and trying other recipes as well : )
Aw I’m glad to hear that 🥰 hopefully I was able to inspire you
@@Begibou 🥰
Just a bit pricy?!!
I've been seeing so many videos of Germans moving to Australia lately, did something happen? We release a really good ad or something?
Yes! In Germany, the work & travel opportunity is well known amongst people in their 20s. Usually it’s young people who take a gap year and travel Australia after high school, because it’s easy to get a working holiday visa
WHV have always been popular with Germans
Also half of Ireland are moving to Australia and as per usual half of NZ continue to migrate to Australia
❤
🥰
I also wanna move to Australia but I’ve heard that it’s a bit expensive. Any tips on how you financed it?
That’s so cool! I don’t think all places are that expensive, at least not as expensive as Sydney. I would try to stay open minded and not be too set on doing one specific job or staying at one city only. I worked full time and saved up as much as I could and tried to sell all my clothes and furniture. My family also helped me out a little bit :)
@@Begibou Thank you for the advice! I’ll try saving some money, so that I atleast have something. I hope you have a great time in Australia. You inspired me so much by following your dreams and also showing that it’s not really easy.
@@Melmelone21 so happy to hear that! Big things often take time and are not easy. You can do it
@@Melmelone21some advice from an Australian. Australia is a huge Island / Continent with many beautiful cities and towns near the coast. Almost all of them are considerably cheaper than Sydney to live in, so if you genuinely want to move here keep an open mind on where you might want to live. The great majority of Australians live an hour’s drive from the coast, myself included. I would never regret moving to a beautiful hamlet in the hills of western Gippsland in the state of Victoria ( an easy drive to Melbourne and the beach - one hour by train ). Good luck
Wish everyone was vegetarian. The world would be a better, kinder place. ❤ Hi from the Rocks, Sydney.
You’re right! Well I hope some people get inspired by videos like that :)
@@Begibou ✌👌
If I wasn't Australian, I would move to Australia...
At least you're not in Melbourne.
Australians watching this video: 😫 iykyk
Aussie Aussie Aussie o.i o.i o.i, no worries mate
No worries!! 🇦🇺
good luck affording it
come to the Gold Coast to find ur true happiness
Gold Coast is on the bucket list!! :)
I would say, yes, you are. One of the most expensive cities in the world. Unless you marry a well off man you and then you will be fine.
Very good point. But from an outsider, Australia is an amazing and truly fascinating place and I’ve never seen quite a place like this before, even though I have traveled quite a bit. The animals and plants are like nowhere else and everyday I step out, I’m just overwhelmed by the beauty. Not to romanticize it, because Australia and Sydney in particular, sure is expensive. But I don’t regret the decision for a second
I am happy to marry u and take care of u .melbourne
Ahhhh that’s not possible I’m sorry hehe
可愛い声ですヾ(･ω･*)ﾉ
Thank you 🥰💕❤️
It sounds as though you are eating cardboard,,,crispy.....
Maybe not dumb, very probably soon to be broke.
What a fool Australia is gone they imported 1 million Indians in 2 years with a population of 25 million when the aboriginal population is 1 million crazy
well that was weird. You know you're racist, right?
Your arms are so freaky and weird! I'm glad you're not moving to Melbourne! 🤣
"Hope you have a million dollars. Australia is very expensive."
Right now I have about $200 🥹 close enough I guess
