I found your channel through Cam Mitchell 🙌🏼 Also in regard to meeting people on the Gold Coast, it is challenging… There is a Gym called CHANGE (it was founded by Kane and Pia Muehlenbeck) and a lot of entrepreneurial people go there. They have a lot of events and yoga classes where people can connect and network.
I live in Melbourne Australia. Don’t leave without experiencing other cities. Gold cost is a good place for holidays but Melbourne and Sydney are so vibrant and fun. Sydney has better weather than Melbourne but Melbourne gastronomy is the best!
I have been living in Melbourne Australia for last 12 years i have travelled 60 countries so far, Australia is probably the best country so far i cannot live anywhere else.
😂😂😂 So multi-cultural here 😂 racism is in every country. Look at America. Everyone seems to forget that less than 50 years ago blacks and whites were still separated let alone recent events with BLM. Asia is the most racist continent and I’m Asian 😂 You must be old. Wake up, it’s 2022.
@@aimlifeinshort8063 lol maybe you need to go to the Dubai airport how they treat Asians/Indian on arrival don’t get me started on how racist Asians and Arabs are
I think you will head to Florida in the US but what you are doing in travelling and spending a decent amount of time in these places is such a valuable experience. Something I would love to do myself.

You guys seemed so much happier in Dubai. Your channel was more interesting, not because Dubai is better, but because for anyone vlogging and dealing with properties and content creation there isn't a better a place IMO. Australia is a beautiful country, but I definitely think Dubai suits you better. Los Angeles next?
I was born and grew up in Sydney, Australia. In my professional career I traveled widely and lived for extended periods in several countries. My business developed rapidly in the UK and I found that I had the opposite problem of time zones to you as I moved to the UK and had business and family/friends in Sydney. Every country I lived in had its advantages and disadvantages. Overall, I found in most countries that there was usually a way to make friends and do business and with the right attitude life could be good. Coming from Australia though you miss many intangibles when you are away. The clear skies, no crowding, a sense of fairness and ease of living. I think that its great that you are traveling with an open mind and enthusiasm. I enjoy your videos.
I’ve been hoping to hear your views about life in Dubai vs Australia, this was a very informative video, thanks for the this. I’ve lived in Dubai for the best 9 years of my life, and moved this year to Canada because my husband and kids are Canadian. I tell you, it’s been very difficult adjusting to life here. The weather hasn’t helped. We have great summers here but that’s it 😂 We’re looking to move back to Dubai hopefully soon. Only real advantage is that we get to travel to the U.S since it’s so close. I’m guessing you’ll be visiting the west coast, California, Florida. Best of luck and I look forward to watching more of your adventures
But the USA is really unsafe, crime and violence. Should I move to Australia or Dubai to start my own business as well as study, or any European countries would you recommend?
100% agree with you about the prices of cars. I even sent my car over from the UK when I emigrated over here and made a massive profit on it. Australia certainly isn't cheap to live here anymore. I've noticed a massive difference in the 15 years I've been here.
My Guesses for your USA Stay : Miami, Florida is much like Goldcoast. I loved that absolutely honest and point by point comparison of : Dubai and Goldcoast. Dubai is Loud. As in Extravagant in every sense of the Word. Goldcoast is well, as you said, Natural and Easygoing. Like you two, we made our first Goldcoast visit In August 2017, liked climate and pollution free ecology and immediately ventured to Book an Off-The-Plan Apartment at Broadbeach. In August 2022, we are coming to Goldcoast to take possession of that Apartment that would be like our Investment In Australia but also be a Holiday home and may be future Overseas place to move to. 😀
Love watching you guys! We from South Africa, moved to Australia 15 years ago, on the Gold Coast for 6 years, lived in Dubai for a year too and traveled there 10 times over the last 20 years, currently in the stages of setting up an Office in Dubai as my main hub and deciding whether to move the family to Dubai for 5-10 years....so found you guys in December last year and have thoroughly enjoyed watching your experiences, outings and evaluations! Look forward to meeting up with you two, I literally cycle past your building every week on the way to Marina Mirage!
Man i love dubai, funny you guys seem to have lived my life. Lived half my life in Dubai and now living in Australia Melbourne. I 100% agree with your points :)
I am living in Dubai for over 10 years now and soon planning to move to Australia. Your video was very helpful and convincing as i was not very much convinced about moving to another country after having spent so many years here in Dubai
You'll be getting to 40C+ on the Gold Coast and Brisbane in Summer :). It's not much different to Dubai except the level of humidity maybe. Melbourne and Sydney get over 40C as well, as does Perth. High 30's C is the norm, but unlike the desert climates it doesn't always cool down in the evening and can be really hot and humid overnight.
Well... Dubai is good if you are consultant - you need to be okay living indoors most of your time. There are plenty of activities but they mostly need to be done at night. Most people I know also tend to go to the same 5-10 spots. Another aspect worth mentioning is that it feels temporary. Yes, you could make friends easily, but you lose them easily also because they tend to be there on a temporary basis. It's always a positive memory looking back because that's how humans are wired, but my hunch is that that allure of Dubai diminishes rather quickly and your second visit there won't be as interesting. I've lived in a number of places around the world (including the UK, china, Germany, Jordan, Turkey, Lesotho, visited the UAE many times) and I'm currently in California, and I must say the Netherlands is the best thus far. I'd love to try Norway and Denmark at some point. Cheers
Agreed with you. Entering my 7th year in the UAE. I always choose to travel outside the country if possible. There are some good aspects about UAE for sure. But everything seems temporary.
I'm born and raised in the UAE mostly in Abu Dhabi, and moved to Brisbane a year and a half ago, I really miss the lifestyle in the UAE defo the best place to live imo. Especially business wise etc the UAE the the whole gcc region has so much growth. I expect Saudi Arabia's economy to double in the next 10 years or so from 2019 levels.
I agree ConAara same for me. I am now in sydney and the only people thinking its a big city are the one who never travel outside of australia. Europe, middleeast are 2 regions i know well and its so much better. So much more things to do than in australia...
I visited Dubai once and it was amazing! I loved your videos there because I could learn much more to use whenever I visit Dubai again. I want to visit Australia one day but it's a bit more complicated to me. And I still want to visit other places like Greece, Turkey, Japan, South Korea... the world is huge but my bank account is not 😅
I'm Canadian. Lived in Dubai and Australia. I lived in Sydney, Goldcoast and Melbourne. Dubai is more international and all business. Australians are more clique-ish and insular typically. Both places are expensive in terms of cost of living, real estate is much cheaper in Dubai. Australia is much slower paced. Even Sydney and Melbourne is slower than what I'm used to in Toronto. The weather and nature is best in Australia hands down. But winters are super boring there. I loved Australia, mainly because of the weather. But it's just too far to travel to frequently. Personally, for quick getaways now, I travel to Miami, Vegas and Tulum, Mexico for nice weather when I need to escape the harsh winters. But still love going to Australia every 4,5 years.
That’s a great problem to have. Dubai or Australia?! Mines do I prefer Wolverhampton or Dudley? Neither, kill me now, but wow I’d totally wanna stay in Dubai after watching your videos. It looks like so much more to do there. Love your videos guys.
Hi, I’ve lived in Dubai and Gold Coast but I’m considering moving to Wolverhampton. One of my mates from the UK said it’s a great place. Is this true or was he joking?
Living a high quality of life in Australia and travel to more exciting place.. It is more subtle compare to Europe, Dubai and such. Each places is different and you will adjust. But once you settle it is hard to beat. It is safe and if you are to have a family (children) Australia is one of the best country to be. So it depends on the stage in your life and what you are looking for. Go try them and find out. All the best : )
Just a tip The weather in qld is awesome all year round however you might find summer time a bit much as the humidity can be bad, Western Australia is better in summer as it’s a dry heat
14:22 AGREED, if it's vacation, no one should really spend more than a week in Duba... IT'S FUN but it can get repetitive. If it's business, then 3 months tops.
Hope you get a chance to visit New Zealand while you're in this part of the world. I'm looking to move to Dubai. Time zone is definitely a big consideration. I did like living in London when I was pre-kids as well. I do love the Gold Coast. For the US, Florida / Miami IMHO, very much like the Gold Coast. I like so many parts of the US though, it's hard to choose, every state is so different and unique. Have fun, love watching your videos.
Definitely California would be perfect for a in between Dubai and Australia, with big city like LA where shopping and lifestyle are present but still with some amazing place to live with beach like San Diego, Orange County,… + some hiking spot like palm spring are amazing too… USA West Coast is next level
@@Skybar23 I am so glad there are people like you, that keep commenting like this. I have lived in California my entire life and wouldn't live anywhere else. We have 40 million people, compared to Australia's 25 million. All jammed in an area smaller than Australia's smallest state. So keep talking like that and keep people the F out of here!
@@gracedagostino5231 glad to do that. Don't Want anyone living in a place where the average American can't afford the sky rocket house prices in Cali while homeless shanty towns are set up few blocks away.
@@Skybar23 lol, well I go several weeks without seeing a homeless person in my LA suburb. I saw plenty of homeless in both Sydney and Melbourne. I think as Australia's economy goes down in next few years you will see more.
@@gracedagostino5231 thats cos you live in an area where the average american couldnt afford to live in. There are homeless people in Australia..but we give them shelter so they dont camp out in tents and build drug infested make shift shanty towns out in the street, tourist beaches like they do in Cali.
I am from Poland, but I live in Boston and together with my hubby we are planning on moving to Dubai in a year or two. Thank you for all your content from Dubai, it was really helpful! Especially that it is post pandemic, therefore more accurate then other videos👌🏼 My guess is you will move to LA! But wherever you go, you will love the mix of big cities and nature (many great hikes). Cheers! ❤
Come to SWF south west flordia! Eastern time zone is great for markets and Flordia is the fastest growing state in the US. Gulf coast for living and east coast for partying! Don't live full time in Miami, check Tampa first!
I had lived in Australia for an year and half and I am going to work in Dubai soon!! It is really good to watch your video because you guys have experience of both country!! Finger cross for your journey !!
I would say that I prefer Australia more. I am based in the U.K. and prefer the weather, lifestyle and natural beauty of Australia. It would be great if the both of you could travel and do a vlog in Perth and WA.
Your energy appears more subdued in Australia. Dubai gave you much more lively outgoing attitudes. Finding your niche is what you seem to be looking for. Keep searching…and enjoy the journey along the way. Looking forward to seeing you in the US…I believe California Dreamin’ would suit your lifestyle best. Great Content for those of us you have brought along on this journey of yours…
11:08 my opinion, where you guys are now in life personally & professionally.... Dubai is best. Then another 10years, can go to Australia. It won't affect it drastically, but the time difference WILL slow down how much you guys can get done professionally vs being in Dubai/UAE. You learning Spanish, maybe Spain or Central/South America is your next destination?
Fellow Brit here! I have lived in Sydney and Central Coast NSW. I now live on Adelaide.. On the beach, 15 from city, 15 from Adelaide Hills etc. Adelaide doesn't get a good enough rep it's beautiful here. I do miss home though!!
I miss Dubai. I tend not to watch Australia because it’s not really a place I want to visit. America is a place I would go to again. I believe Florida is a place you would go or LA and possibly California.
I lived in Seattle for 8 years which has great summer weather and many things to do outdoors but I’m guessing Miami for you guys. Back up guesses are Phoenix, LA, Vegas or somewhere in Texas.
Matt and Summer, if you have the time and inclination during your time on the Gold Coast would hope to see you travel south to Sydney for several days. Would love to have your take on this great city. It would be an interesting contrast to life on the Gold Coast.
For two beach bugs like yourselves - i can only imagine you guys in Californian coast or Florida coast. - Although US coastline both sides (east-west) is gorgeous throughout but you guys went from Spain to Dubai to Gold Coast so hence my reasoning.
I'm glad you did this video, as I was wondering what you (dis)liked about each country. Also great to know you're learning Spanish - I started during the 1st lockdown. Me encantan tus videos...gracias! 😊
12:45 i was thinking that, but do South/Central America first, and then go to the States. Can set up a business, same type in the US also, set up residency, send your money to Dubai. My suggestion, stay nowhere for more than 3 months. Do 5.5 months first (especially US, once you there 6 months you gotta pay tax) to get to know the place, then return to each place for 3 months. Do that for 5 years straight. Indonesia/Thailand is interesting also.
Please suggest , I am 40 , I have good job offer from both Sydney and Dubai with similar salary equivalent to 48K dh. I am from India. I am really confused whether to choose money or Australia. What will be better for family , Is it worth ignoring money and move to Australia for PR which has higher tax and cost of living.
Lived in Dubai for 8 yrs and am currently in the US, getting my American citizenship next year, and Can't wait to go back to Dubai and as I am bored to Death here in America, to be honest.
Hi, Guys-Really enjoyed the video. What microphone are you using because it is very clear and crisp and do you have a special camera or just your mobiles? Thanks
An interesting and thoughtful clip. Much depends on what you want out of life, and that changes over the years. Your current main attention seems to be the continued development of a thriving business. That's possible in many places, but to do it at an elite level is easier in places like the USA and Dubai as they are optimised for high level success. Australia and New Zealand are not; they are more optimised for people in general to have a moderate, good and satisfying life. The example you give of being able to get good quality food at virtually any grocery store is part of that. If you plan to have a family at some stage, however, they might be better choices. After a family has grown up, the preferred options can change again. The time difference issue is quite real, although that might change as your UK business grows and becomes less in need of close management and direction. If your business was oriented more to the Indo-Pacific, the reverse might be true; although I suspect that is not what you anticipate. Nevertheless, Oz and NZ are great places to visit regularly, and that might become their chief attraction for you. This is a bit out of left field; but I'd be cautious about expecting the globalised world we've experienced for several decades to persist. There's a lot of signs of it breaking back into blocs and recreating an international scene more like the multi-polar world of the late 19th and early 20th century. That means business and particularly marketing may become more feasible in places which have their own large internal consumer base. The USA seems to be heading back to that, and might swing your choices more in that direction, or somewhere nearby like the Bahamas.
You enjoyed your stay in Dubai I remember you shared great videos and vlogs. I visited Dubai a couple of times during summer in April and May it was extremely hot I was mostly in my hotel room . I'm going there in November set up a business in a free zone, business friendly environment. I would love to live in Australia, beautiful country.
13:13 it better be Miami, Florida!! If not, then it's California, not a fan of their taxes there and to set up a business costs a lot more. Florida is perfect for non-citizen business set up, I've done that, things going great. I started watching you guys because of your Dubai company set up, because that is my next step.
Thanks for sharing guys you both are looking good . I been to Dubai and really liked it. Where in Australia are you staying .Have you thought about living in Canada.
I guess you are moving to California? I moved to Dubai recently but don’t feel that people are very friendly. How can I find networking events in Dubai?
Bit too early to compare at this stage as you guys only lived in Gold Coast which is a small city. Come down to Sydney, it will feel more like Dubai but without the extreme hot weather, it is an international city with a bigger population so has amazing endless restaurants to try, many activities, and networking. To chill out from the hectic fast pace life and traffic jams you have the world famous harbour and the beaches, and also the wildlife and the many national parks within the city and surrounds such as the world heritage listed Blue Mountains. Enjoy a day trip short drive north or south are the beautiful coastal cities of Newcastle, Central Coast and Wollongong. Sydney doesn't snow, but only a few hrs drive from Sydney is the Snowy Mountains and ski resorts with abundant snow, how crazy is that! Australia is such a big place with different contrasts, in the centre is Alice Springs and tourist spot Ayres rock which is very hot all year round and desert like Dubai, and up north we have smaller cities such as Cairns, one can dive in the famous Great Barrier Reef, the weather there is tropical warm all year around. And down south we have cities which gets snow in winter.
13:42 I'm actually from Kingston, Jamaica. And you guys should seriously set up business in Florida. Miami is my place, but you can swing between Miami, Tampa & Orlando, especially if you will be doing a year there.
You’ll definitely be moving to LA if you move to USA. However, I’d recommend San Diego. I could definitely also see you moving to NYC/Chicago (because there’s all the big tall nice buildings like Dubai which you loved) but it looks like you love good weather. Based on your comments (likes/dislikes), it’s a no-brainer that you’ll be moving to California (LA in particular 🙈). If you end up moving to LA, be sure to check out all the coastal beach towns in Southern California. Hit up Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, San Clemente, Newport Beach, Long Beach…..all those hot spots in Orange County. Have a blast! Did I guess right?
I live in the US in Florida. Dubai being a bigger city will offer more. You also will have more transplants so easier to make friends. Australia is beautiful, and just a different vibe than Dubai. Same here in the US, New York is not Los Angeles and Miami is not Boston. Or New Orleans which I find to be super friendly is not Las Vegas. My guess for u guys in USA will be somewhere in California since Matt talked about natural beauty and the West Coast is impressive for that.
Awesome vlogs and love the videos ! It’s a shame about the Timezone, if you’d gone to Western Australia it’s got a better time difference is warm and has lovely beaches better than Gold Coast beaches !
We've had so many questions on which we prefer so we wanted to sit down and discuss what we love about each place! Hope you enjoy the vid🇦🇺🇦🇪
Love You 🇦🇪❤🇦🇺
The world needs more people like you two
I think Miami is on the cards guys ☀👍

Dubai pros & cons
+easy to meet people & make friends
+business friendly, very fast paced & futuristic
+amazing lounges, cafes, restaurants
+really good healthcare services, no months waiting lists etc. easy to get an appointment, no need for referrals if you want to see a specialist etc.
-apartments almost all of them have moist,mold issues and the AC is very bad for your health by the time you leave Dubai you’ll end up with lung issues
-air pollution, also bad for your health and causes long term damage
-lack of nature
-public transport should be better
-besides marina, not very walkable city
-poor food quality in all supermarkets and prices are high
Australia pros &cons

+quality of food
+people are friendly/laid-back
+apartments are modern & good quality

Definitely California would be perfect for a in between Dubai and Australia, with big city like LA where shopping and lifestyle are present but still with some amazing place to live with beach like San Diego, Orange County,… + some hiking spot like palm spring are amazing too… USA West Coast is next level
just avoid San Francisco and Cali. The amount of homeless people they have is shocking. Its all on you tube to see in in places like Long Beach
@@Skybar23 I am so glad there are people like you, that keep commenting like this. I have lived in California my entire life and wouldn't live anywhere else. We have 40 million people, compared to Australia's 25 million. All jammed in an area smaller than Australia's smallest state. So keep talking like that and keep people the F out of here!
@@gracedagostino5231 glad to do that. Don't Want anyone living in a place where the average American can't afford the sky rocket house prices in Cali while homeless shanty towns are set up few blocks away.
@@Skybar23 lol, well I go several weeks without seeing a homeless person in my LA suburb. I saw plenty of homeless in both Sydney and Melbourne. I think as Australia's economy goes down in next few years you will see more.
@@gracedagostino5231 thats cos you live in an area where the average american couldnt afford to live in. There are homeless people in Australia..but we give them shelter so they dont camp out in tents and build drug infested make shift shanty towns out in the street, tourist beaches like they do in Cali.
Done both, there’s no comparison. Aus is in a different league. You can complete Dubai in a week.
I am from Poland, but I live in Boston and together with my hubby we are planning on moving to Dubai in a year or two. Thank you for all your content from Dubai, it was really helpful! Especially that it is post pandemic, therefore more accurate then other videos👌🏼
My guess is you will move to LA!
But wherever you go, you will love the mix of big cities and nature (many great hikes).
Cheers! ❤
The usa is really unsafe though. You might get killed tomorrow
Come to SWF south west flordia! Eastern time zone is great for markets and Flordia is the fastest growing state in the US. Gulf coast for living and east coast for partying! Don't live full time in Miami, check Tampa first!
I had lived in Australia for an year and half and I am going to work in Dubai soon!!
It is really good to watch your video because you guys have experience of both country!!
Finger cross for your journey !!
How do you like Dubai ?
U guys are amazing...u put in so much efforts
Lovely vlogs 💖
Money: What about tax? It‘s such a big factor when comparing UAE and AUS (even if you haven‘t been residents - it still matters to many)
I would say that I prefer Australia more. I am based in the U.K. and prefer the weather, lifestyle and natural beauty of Australia. It would be great if the both of you could travel and do a vlog in Perth and WA.
Your energy appears more subdued in Australia. Dubai gave you much more lively outgoing attitudes. Finding your niche is what you seem to be looking for. Keep searching…and enjoy the journey along the way. Looking forward to seeing you in the US…I believe California Dreamin’ would suit your lifestyle best. Great Content for those of us you have brought along on this journey of yours…
Gold Coast is just holiday city. U need to get to Sydney or melbourne to see true cosmopolitan Australia
11:08 my opinion, where you guys are now in life personally & professionally.... Dubai is best. Then another 10years, can go to Australia. It won't affect it drastically, but the time difference WILL slow down how much you guys can get done professionally vs being in Dubai/UAE. You learning Spanish, maybe Spain or Central/South America is your next destination?
Loved your video! Born in Calcutta, lived 6.5 years in Ireland, then 16 years in the UK, briefly in Canada and for the past 1 year in Dubai Marina!
Fellow Brit here!
I have lived in Sydney and Central Coast NSW.
I now live on Adelaide.. On the beach, 15 from city, 15 from Adelaide Hills etc.
Adelaide doesn't get a good enough rep it's beautiful here.
I do miss home though!!
1. L.A
2. Miami
3 Las Vegas
I miss Dubai. I tend not to watch Australia because it’s not really a place I want to visit. America is a place I would go to again. I believe Florida is a place you would go or LA and possibly California.
I lived in Seattle for 8 years which has great summer weather and many things to do outdoors but I’m guessing Miami for you guys. Back up guesses are Phoenix, LA, Vegas or somewhere in Texas.
Matt and Summer, if you have the time and inclination during your time on the Gold Coast would hope to see you travel south to Sydney for several days. Would love to have your take on this great city. It would be an interesting contrast to life on the Gold Coast.
We'd love too! Planning on a trip to Sydney soon :)
Love your vlogs. Subscribed due to your vlogs in Dubai. Please go back there as the vlogs were next level 💯
For two beach bugs like yourselves - i can only imagine you guys in Californian coast or Florida coast. - Although US coastline both sides (east-west) is gorgeous throughout but you guys went from Spain to Dubai to Gold Coast so hence my reasoning.
I reckon u are going Miami!!. I loved the Dubai vlogs, great video keep it up always love the content !!
Loved the Dubai vlogs so much!
Probably Miami/Florida, Los Angeles/California next?
I'm glad you did this video, as I was wondering what you (dis)liked about each country. Also great to know you're learning Spanish - I started during the 1st lockdown. Me encantan tus videos...gracias! 😊
12:45 i was thinking that, but do South/Central America first, and then go to the States. Can set up a business, same type in the US also, set up residency, send your money to Dubai. My suggestion, stay nowhere for more than 3 months. Do 5.5 months first (especially US, once you there 6 months you gotta pay tax) to get to know the place, then return to each place for 3 months. Do that for 5 years straight. Indonesia/Thailand is interesting also.
Where are you guys planning to settle in future? US,Aus or go back to UK
Florida for sure 🌴
Since you had bank visits in Farajaih and Sharjah, what have you heard about the flooding there last week??!!!
Dubai is an new city I think in the next 20 years dubai will be the best, 2040 plan dubai will add walk ability and greenery
I have been in australia in 14 years and I traveled too dubai and it was pretty good but I picked australia
8:54 to ship cars, parts etc cost a lot, so prices would be higher for sure.
How much space do 2 people want OR NEED?
I am living in Dubai for work, I have relatives here but originally I am a US citizen so I am still looking at retiring there.
Please suggest , I am 40 , I have good job offer from both Sydney and Dubai with similar salary equivalent to 48K dh. I am from India. I am really confused whether to choose money or Australia. What will be better for family , Is it worth ignoring money and move to Australia for PR which has higher tax and cost of living.
Lived in Dubai for 8 yrs and am currently in the US, getting my American citizenship next year, and Can't wait to go back to Dubai and as I am bored to Death here in America, to be honest.
Hi, Guys-Really enjoyed the video. What microphone are you using because it is very clear and crisp and do you have a special camera or just your mobiles? Thanks
Great video guys, please post more about different cities like Melbourne, Perth and which one is better to live in. Thanks!
Miami next?
we are in Dubai for 8 years, getting an oppur to work and live in Sydney ... what would you recommend ... should go for it ?
I am looking forward to the mandatory visit to DXB to keep your residency valid. Honestly, enjoyed the DXB vlogs more….
What about medical costs, if you are ill?
Australia and Dubai are relatively safe but Miami is quite scary place. Especially summer needs to be careful. Kidnapping and killing happens a lot
Definitely miss the dubai vlogs
so what is it then, D or A?
It looks you are talking to each other. Please elaborate clearly and point to point.
An interesting and thoughtful clip. Much depends on what you want out of life, and that changes over the years. Your current main attention seems to be the continued development of a thriving business. That's possible in many places, but to do it at an elite level is easier in places like the USA and Dubai as they are optimised for high level success.
Australia and New Zealand are not; they are more optimised for people in general to have a moderate, good and satisfying life. The example you give of being able to get good quality food at virtually any grocery store is part of that. If you plan to have a family at some stage, however, they might be better choices. After a family has grown up, the preferred options can change again.
The time difference issue is quite real, although that might change as your UK business grows and becomes less in need of close management and direction. If your business was oriented more to the Indo-Pacific, the reverse might be true; although I suspect that is not what you anticipate. Nevertheless, Oz and NZ are great places to visit regularly, and that might become their chief attraction for you.
This is a bit out of left field; but I'd be cautious about expecting the globalised world we've experienced for several decades to persist. There's a lot of signs of it breaking back into blocs and recreating an international scene more like the multi-polar world of the late 19th and early 20th century. That means business and particularly marketing may become more feasible in places which have their own large internal consumer base. The USA seems to be heading back to that, and might swing your choices more in that direction, or somewhere nearby like the Bahamas.
After a quick trip to Vegas. You should goto Austin Texas in the USA imo. Miami is way overrated.
You enjoyed your stay in Dubai I remember you shared great videos and vlogs. I visited Dubai a couple of times during summer in April and May it was extremely hot I was mostly in my hotel room . I'm going there in November set up a business in a free zone, business friendly environment. I would love to live in Australia, beautiful country.
See you than 😉
13:13 it better be Miami, Florida!! If not, then it's California, not a fan of their taxes there and to set up a business costs a lot more. Florida is perfect for non-citizen business set up, I've done that, things going great. I started watching you guys because of your Dubai company set up, because that is my next step.
My guess for US will be either California or Florida
Weather in uk has been awesome for 3 weeks or do. We hit a 40.
About time this video came ha! And can't believe it's been 4 months in Aus.
Thanks for sharing guys you both are looking good . I been to Dubai and really liked it. Where in Australia are you staying .Have you thought about living in Canada.
I guess you are moving to California?
I moved to Dubai recently but don’t feel that people are very friendly. How can I find networking events in Dubai?
Thankyou for the information
I think you’re slightly picking up the Australian twang
Bit too early to compare at this stage as you guys only lived in Gold Coast which is a small city. Come down to Sydney, it will feel more like Dubai but without the extreme hot weather, it is an international city with a bigger population so has amazing endless restaurants to try, many activities, and networking. To chill out from the hectic fast pace life and traffic jams you have the world famous harbour and the beaches, and also the wildlife and the many national parks within the city and surrounds such as the world heritage listed Blue Mountains. Enjoy a day trip short drive north or south are the beautiful coastal cities of Newcastle, Central Coast and Wollongong. Sydney doesn't snow, but only a few hrs drive from Sydney is the Snowy Mountains and ski resorts with abundant snow, how crazy is that! Australia is such a big place with different contrasts, in the centre is Alice Springs and tourist spot Ayres rock which is very hot all year round and desert like Dubai, and up north we have smaller cities such as Cairns, one can dive in the famous Great Barrier Reef, the weather there is tropical warm all year around. And down south we have cities which gets snow in winter.
Sydney is not more like Dubai at all. everything shuts early. Boring place. im moving to Dubai early next yr. Cant wait to leave Australia.
Oregon?? Would be a good option fr def could see y’all there
13:42 I'm actually from Kingston, Jamaica. And you guys should seriously set up business in Florida. Miami is my place, but you can swing between Miami, Tampa & Orlando, especially if you will be doing a year there.
No comparison!, you can’t beat natural beauty, sandy beaches, fresh air compared to sand storms,unbearable heat , soulless city
It seems like you have never been in Dubai... and to live or visit the world you need to open your mind and your heart.
@@OffTom5783 I have been to Dubai, but no thanks, it’s all yours to enjoy
Miami your next place in America?
You guys need to come to Melbourne. So much food and activities to do here.
You’ll definitely be moving to LA if you move to USA. However, I’d recommend San Diego. I could definitely also see you moving to NYC/Chicago (because there’s all the big tall nice buildings like Dubai which you loved) but it looks like you love good weather.
Based on your comments (likes/dislikes), it’s a no-brainer that you’ll be moving to California (LA in particular 🙈).
If you end up moving to LA, be sure to check out all the coastal beach towns in Southern California. Hit up Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, San Clemente, Newport Beach, Long Beach…..all those hot spots in Orange County. Have a blast!
Did I guess right?
I feel like somewhere in Florida is where you guys want to go
Your lifestyle is so amazing! Can you share how you financially make this work?
Offtt... Love Dubai 🙂
Great video, I downloaded the app and started Spanish, I can use it because I live in LA 😍
I live in the US in Florida. Dubai being a bigger city will offer more. You also will have more transplants so easier to make friends. Australia is beautiful, and just a different vibe than Dubai. Same here in the US, New York is not Los Angeles and Miami is not Boston. Or New Orleans which I find to be super friendly is not Las Vegas. My guess for u guys in USA will be somewhere in California since Matt talked about natural beauty and the West Coast is impressive for that.
My guess for America is Miami, New York, Chicago, or San Francisco
Really good info 👍🏻
Awesome vlogs and love the videos ! It’s a shame about the Timezone, if you’d gone to Western Australia it’s got a better time difference is warm and has lovely beaches better than Gold Coast beaches !
We live in England my son and his family live in oz. So we’re regular visitors 😎👍🏻
My guess is that you are moving to New York next
I gotta say, I definitely preferred the Dubai vlogs. Australia just doesn’t do it for me personally
