I'm brazilian and am currently considering a move to either Canada or Australia. I'm just afraid Australia might be way too hot (where I live, we have 30-35° for the most part) and it's not really great if you don't have immediate access to a beach or to air-conditioning. On the other hand, Canada is also way too cold (I've never even touched snow). Would you mind trying to point eventual pros of moving to Canada, also in your perspective? It would be of great help, once I know nobody.
Your vlog couldn’t have come at a better time for me. I’m a Filipino who studied and lived in Brisbane for four years with my wife. Those years were some of the best days of our lives. We went on countless adventures around Queensland and visited Melbourne and Sydney twice as well. About a year and seven months ago, we moved to Alberta, Canada, after landing jobs, and we’re now working on our permanent residency. However, we deeply miss Australia, especially Queensland. We’re torn between staying here or moving back to Australia. We figure that once we obtain Canadian citizenship, we might have better chances of returning to Australia. Thank you for creating this video-it has given me valuable insights into decision-making and personal growth. Wishing you all the best and continued success!
It's ok to feel lost at times. I can totally relate to the challenges of finding a close circle of friends who are on the same wave length as you. Even after a decade of moving to Australia, I've seen a lot of people come and go. Kudos to you for making the move and living your best life!
Awe thank you! Especially in Brisbane I feel a lot of people grow up here and then move away to the other cities like Syd or Mel. So new friends often come and go!
Hey! Thanks so much for sharing your experiences, i definitely relate to you. I just moved to GC Australia on a working visa I’ve been here for a little while, and there has definitely been stressful times. But I’m exited to learn more about myself, and create new experiences!
Your video is amazing, for me what I found helped me is meditating every morning for 15 minutes and having a vision board separated in 5 years frame to know what are my goals. I only share with those that can concretely make them come true, to protect against bad eye lol. Blessings xo
Hey Cass! Glad to see this video! Honestly you brought up a lot of my own concerns in your video. So much similarities to myself haha. I am moving to Melb from Canada on a WHV this coming up Nov. Just freaking out on a big move with no actual plans, don't know where to start >.< . But your video puts me at ease and I am looking forward to the adventure
Awee im so glad it resonated with you :) don’t worry, just know that you will always figure it out in the end and that you will grow so much in this process + won’t want to go back to Canada 😉
Really appreciate hearing your honest perspective on moving to a new country! I'm a lifelong Torontonian who like you really wants to see another part of the world and experience living abroad. I don't think I can handle another Toronto winter 😮💨 (even though this winter was pretty mild).
Glad to hear that your starting to grow into your new life in Australia everyone goes through up's and down's and it does take a while to settle but that's life your young and have plenty of time to do what ever you want just enjoy yourself and have fun cheers
Glad you are enjoying Australia! ✨ thanks for the great video you are truly on the path to be a True Blue Aussie 😎 Have you gone camping in the bush? nothing better than being in nature. For a good life in Australia it is best to not think to much about things that bother you 🙂 enjoy life and the beauty the country has to offer!
Interesting, and I moved from Sydney to Vancouver in 1990, because at the time, Canada was light years ahead of Australia. I’ve lived in BC ever since. Also, the heat was getting to me. You can dress for the cold, but Aussies spend significant time indoors to avoid the heat, as much as Canadians do with the cold.
@@westerlywinds5684things have definitely changed! A Canadian currently living in Sydney…vibrancy, infrastructure, shopping, food, cleanliness and safety, blown away!
@@bbc2630 I have a completely different memory than what you described, but all good. There’s a place for everyone somewhere. Sydney is even more expensive than Vancouver.
@@westerlywinds5684 Not anymore, Vancouver is now equally expensive in particular post COVID and the pay in Canada is a lot lower as well. I travel between the two countries on a regular basis due to work. Australia has changed a lot since the 90s for better. The opposite has happened in Canada, the country has fallen.
I’m from Vancouver and really debating on getting my masters and making the move fully to Australia. Your video was super helpful and provides more food for thought. Still not an easy decision though. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
Do some research because each cities are different vastly in terms if climate. Melbourne and Hobart are very much like Canada and Scandivanian, then Adelaide and Sydney are like Mediterranean, then there is Cairns, Brisbane, Goldcoast pretty much subtropical. Perth is the prettiest but most isolated. Darwin is the smallest but pretty much tropical all year long.
Hi! Being from USA myself, I am planning a move to Australia. I have never tried solo trips and the very thought scares me. But I would like to change that! Can you please shed some light on how did you get started with everything related to the solo trip? Thanks!
Congrats on the move to Australia. Brisbane is a lovely city and i am from the Gold Coast. Brisbane has some nice national parkls (Mt Glorious etc - not really aware of them. Gold Coast has Springbrook, Laimington National park - some great hikes there. I am sure you have seen the beaches aloready :)
I love Canada. Plenty of fresh water lakes and rivers, and fresh, crisp air. I’ve lived in Canada since 1990, and wouldn’t want it any other way. 6 hours from Hawaii, 3 hours to California, 9 hours to the Caribbean. It’s very central.
Thinking about moving from Edmonton to Australia with the family. My son developed asthma in our dry climate, plus I'm very concerned about safety. We have something happening in town every day.
@@anastasiiapotapova6242 I’ve lived in Australia for 5 years, coming from Europe, but it was too hot for me. You still get lots of rain and overcast skies, and food choices were very limited when I lived there in the 1980’s. I came to Vancouver in 1990, migrated, am Canadian now. Canada is great for self employment. Australia is great as an employee.
You are so strong and independent, girl! I had a relationship similar to yours. Don't worry, just let it be time to heal all things. I'm totally sure that you are a hard worker. Keep doing. " 𝚃𝚘 𝚐𝚎𝚝 𝚕𝚘𝚜𝚝 𝚒𝚜 𝚝𝚘 𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚠𝚊𝚢. " ❤
Avoid culture shock by staying in touch with friends and family in Canada (email, Skype, phone call via laptop etc), travel around Brisbane region or Australia in your spare time. Learn a new hobby or sport eg surfing, make local friends, try the local cuisine, coffee, wine etc and explore the local arts scene, see local wildlife parks like Lone Pine or Daisy Hill Koala Park, visit national parks with mountains, rainforest and waterfalls. Or the islands, Moreton, Bribie and North Stradbroke, Fraser / Kgari eg. Last but not least expect reverse culture shock when you return to Canada, even if only for a few weeks to catch up with family. Some things will have changed, others gotten worse and others stayed the same. eg the rain in BC.
My advice for young people who have grocery or cooking challenges like you mentioned.. get a food delivery service like Hello Fresh.. food is fresh, super tasty, easy to cook and no waste.. except for addition packaging which is mostly recyclable. You will be proud of the meals because they are very tasty. Your cooking confidence will sky rocket. Other than that, i wish you all the best on your journey of self-discovery and hope you continue to love your time in Australia!!
Hi how are you I am 51 year old man looking to move to Australia in 7 months . I am sick and tired of the cold weather . Your very smart would like some advice how to move here as an older person .
Please don;t be lulled into a false sense of security by people leaving things unlocked and unattended. I watched SE Qld become a victim of it's own success in the early noughties, and a big part of that is a sharp rise in property crime, esp car theft. I would also try to be more aware of personal safety in Brisbane at night - it's not NYC but nor should it be given the population.
I'm Aussie just so you know, good video but remember "Life's not a sprint it's a cross country marathon, mostly without a map or compass but along the way take time to enjoy the view."
😂 I would hate to live to 120! That’s just what they call it when you start freaking out about everything in your life around the late 20, early 30s age.
Brisbane and Gold Coast are awesome cities to move to. Sydney is a shithole, I hate it here. Way too many people, cars, traffic, drivers are so aggresive, it was nice when I was growing up here but way too many people moved here and it's the worst place to be.
Hello mam, I have visited your You tube channels, You have uploaded many nice videos and the videos have good views. But your video SEO is very bad. I am an SEO specialist. I provide SEO services.
You should make him cook for himself.i did most of the cooking in my family for years , now I just cook for myself even though I am married my wife is Chinese so she cooks her stuff and I cook mine ,don't pander to him because he is a male .
Bad advice. It sounds like her BF was carrying the majority of the load for much if her time there, so it's only fair that sh3 cooked dinner for him as a way to contribute.
What a brain dead advice and of course you married a chinese 🙄 What is wrong in doing things for one another? All that's needed is simply communicating and understanding one another. If good things dont work you and whoever you are with, don't push your negative lifestyle on others.
Have you moved to a new country? I'd like to hear your experience! 😱

Considering the problems Canada has been facing in the recent years I think its better to stay in Australia

Australia has many of the same problems, as the two countries are quite similar.
