- In this video I talk about how I moved to Australia from Canada and a honest reflective look at what this past year as been like. It was and still is an emotional journey which proved to be much harder than I expected! Regardless, this has been a year of growth and I wouldn't have it any other way looking back now.

Have you moved to a new country? I'd like to hear your experience! 😱
Gas prices, Car prices suck in Australia and the accent lol
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.
@@heldim92 I d stay in brazil if i were you.
From Rio, Brazil to Vancouver Canada in 2013. Now looking to move to the Gold Coast, Australia in 2025
@@earthexplorer579 the accent, deadly animals and driving on the other side(righthand drive vehicles).. 🤭
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!
Congratulations with making it through the year. So glad you have found friends and a full time job! Here's to more success, fun and memories!
Thank you so much! :)
So refreshing to hear an open, honest, and raw glimpse of your experience. I really appreciated this video!
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'm a Canadian summer person too, and I think you just convinced me to get a youth mobility visa to Australia.
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!
Awee I love that :) Gold coast is beautiful, nice choice ;)!
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!
Thank you for your kind words 😊 Haven’t gone camping yet but I’d love to try it!
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).
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 😉
Happy you're enjoying yr time here in Brisbane. I'm a local and think its great you're showing my city through a fresh set of eyes.
Yes its great :)
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
Considering the problems Canada has been facing in the recent years I think its better to stay in Australia
Australia's quite expensive as well but overall I think the quality of life here is better + its got nice weather 😂
Australia has many of the same problems, as the two countries are quite similar.
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!
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. " ❤
awe thank you for your kind words 💞
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.
Glad I could help! Overall im really enjoying my time here, especially in Brisbane. Not sure about the other cities.
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.
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.
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.
You have done so well here in Australia and what a sweet lady you are .
I don't regard someone who uses the F word in her first sentence as "sweet".
Brother i been living 2 years and i experience no problem at all. I'm currnently Waiting for permanent resident 😊
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.
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!!
Yess I've been meaning to give that a try. I'll try it out in the new year!
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."
So from Vancouver , how much is rent ? is it less or about the same ?
🎉 Wow Australia 🇦🇺 I want to move to Australia 🇦🇺. from United States 🇺🇸. I want Sydney.
❤
Do a person who has a study viza can also move to australia from canada can u plz tell me ??
Quarter life crisis? Are you planning to live to 120?
😂 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.
Not everybody is a natural cook!
I was pretty disappointed with this video - I don't feel like it really represents just how hard immigrating to another country, let alone of the wealthiest in the world, is. You talk about wanting to go out all the time, having a "hard time" on a solo backpacking trip, having so much free time to mope around the house, etc etc. These all come off as highly priviledged problems. Many immigrants come out of economic necessity and don't get the opportunities to experience what you experienced simply because it's not financially possible. Your "problems" come off as really hollow because of this and I really wished you had talked about getting a job, loneliness, homesickness, etc. more.
I have talked about those topics in previous videos. Everyone’s experience is different and this is mine.
@@cascee Sure, it's just a vapid, privileged one.
Yup sounds privileged to me and whiny about it. Also typical for those who try so hard to act all white once they've been privileged to be born in Western countries lol
“There’s not as many homeless people so I feel very safe here.” That what the part that did it for me😂
❤❤
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.
😂
Sounds like you just needed to grow up!
It’s funny how ur still here when the migration law is strict and they closed it
Guess I’m lucky 😊
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 could cook me a meal anytime Cascee..✌😃.Your getting clucky..😂🐓🐔
Vancouver sucks
People in Brisbane are moving to Vancouver and you are doing opposite. Good luck
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 .
Sir every ones life story is a different one, for eg. one can afford a cook if they work hard
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.
