I was born here, I love my city - and you have nailed it, my friend. Everything you have said is true and accurate. I used to live in Manly and it was awesome. I now live near the airport and its just as awesome. This city has so many facets - and welcomes everyone :) Stay safe everyone.
Must be great to live in such a culturally diverse and beautiful city, I´ve always been dreaming about moving to Australia and actually wanted to study in Sydney, but unfortunately, I cannot afford it... but I´m super happy for you 😊
I don't get this at all.. everyone else who didn't grow up in Sydney sees it as an absolute overpriced dump, mostly filled with arrogant selfish people. The traffic is horrendous and everything is dirty.. If you are a foreigner sure go and see the Harbour bridge and the Opera house so you can take it off your bucket list but other than that Sydney doesn't offer anything unique that can't be seen in better places around the country.
Nice video mate! I am a Sydneysider, born & bred. I love my city, but I love the water, so I am biased. Beaches everywhere, countryside & blue mountains 1.5 hours away - the best of both worlds. I like Melbourne as well, Brisbane is ok....but for me, Sydney has my heart 😎
Sydney has 5 harbours, Sydney Harbour which goes back twenty km to Parramatta, Middle Harbor, Botany Bay, Port Hacking and Broken Bay which splits into Pittwater, Brisbane Waters and the Hawkesbury. Then there is everything along the Pacific coast. Plenty of waterfront.
Mate, I'm born and bred Sydneysider and you have done the city proud! You are basically spot on with your analysis. Sure, it's expensive but like good beer and wine, you pay a premium for quality. On your next video you may want to talk about sport, (Sydney FC is my team) Aboriginal history, multicultural western Sydney and of course a trip to the Central Coast. Well done. Just a fun fact, Sydney once had the largest tram network in the world and it's good to see the government beginning to add trams back to the network.
I am very proud of you representing Sydney . I saw one of your videos that states the bad things about Sydney and I thought you didn’t like Sydney at all but I was wrong . I am happy to follow your videos thank you .
Thank you so much for all the information you have provided in this video. My visa has just recently been accepted and I will be flying out with my boyfriend in a few months time to live and work. Your video has massively helped thanks so much again!
Accurate review, and it's nice that you mention that you CAN eat cheaply in Sydney, unlike some other reviews. Some areas however do not have good public transport and if you're on the northern beaches, it's buses only and takes forever to get anywhere.
great video, im glad its not just you sat talking. great edits with actually showing us there areas and things to do! cracking work. moving to Australia next year or year after fingers crossed!
You will definitely love it here. We went around Australia and visited many wonderful places. I wish we could visit way more but check out our travel vlog you will enjoy our experience of this fantastic country. ❤❤
just came across this video. You only mentioned one side of Sydney. If you head west of the Sydney CBD, its peak multiculturalism, and what moderate waged people can afford (not to say that it is bad, its actually vibrant in its own right)
This video is really good, I'm moving to Sydney from the outback, seeing someone from the outside cover the city like this is, well it's very helpful. I can't wait to personally challenge my opinions and beliefs while being surrounded by the multicultural environment. I have visited the city before, it wasn't for me then, too many people. My life has gotten stagnant with where I am currently, that's why I'm doing it. Also the international airport which caters to every country is a bonus, I plan to travel around the world at some point.
Thanks Mate. We happy to hear that Border Will be open by November but it's for Students, Travel and PR and special in the country not to out the country.
I think it will change very soon! They are already discussing on tv that the country urgently needs workers in many industries and that they should open the borders for all types of visas. 🤞🏼
Thank you for all the info, I am moving to Sydney next year and I can't wait! This video was so helpful in having a better idea of what neighbourhood I wanna live in
Good video, mate. The subject of ''how good is Sydney'' is quite complicated and subjective. The points you made are pretty accurate and I'd like to add some more ''negatives'' from my perspective to balance it out. I lived there since before the ''lockout law'' and its nightlife really died out. Especially if you're into more niche music scenes. Also, for a European there are simply too many rules and regulations about pretty much everything. There is a lack of deep and meaningful conversations with the locals who are used to a more ''simple'' approach in life. Lastly, work environments can be quite bizarre and a bit backwards sometimes. Sydney is an amazing city indeed but it really depends how adaptable you are and how it fits your personality overall.
Thanks for your feedback! You’re right. I also agree with those points. My plan was to make a separate video about the “cons” or the downside of living in Sydney. I’ll probably mention all those things.
@@marccarva Looking forward to your next video! I just pointed out the negatives so people who are considering their move are prepared. I can't wait to be back now that the travel restrictions are lifted. See you on the Circular Quay-Manly ferry haha
@@marccarva Used to work in Surry Hills but loved to take the ferry to Manly for the lovely walk from Manly to Shelly beach. Highly recommend Shelly beach (my favourite in Sydney)!
All useful and comprehensive comments. But I'd like to know the security level in the city. Going around the streets, the villages, even in the evening. Are there bandits, thugs, is there police, is there control? Thank you
Compared to many other world cities, Sydney is quite safe but the usual precautions apply. Many types of crime have actually decreased over the last few decades. There aren't "bandits" but there are "thugs" like everywhere. If you are a woman and going out at night your safety would be increased if you had a male companion with you. Sydney night life is now much quieter due to lock out laws (which in some parts of the city I think have been lifted) and Covid and the crowds have never really come back. Don't come for night life but the variety and quality of restaurants is still here.
The only part that had me do a serious “WHAT THE …… ?!?! “ Was your comment ………… _* “I’ve never heard of anyone struggling to pay for food “*_ Obviously There are MANY MANY people that struggle daily to do just that. To be fair though, I’m certain you know that and you are just talking from your experience and those you know 😊
THANKS FOR THE INSIGHT MATE BUT WOULDN'T LEAVE ..THE WIRRAL, LIVERPOOL OR NORTH WALES FOR THAT OVERCROWDED, OVERPRICED GAFF !!! SLAVA UKRAINE FROM LIVERPOOL UK ...🇧🇧🌻🇬🇧
Sydney is not just these places. The real Sydney is in its suburbs and outer areas, especially the deep West. The people are normal, and more of them live there than anywhere else. It's less expensive. Not as snobby or hipster. Only occasionally do they go into the "city". Plenty of local venues and eateries (often really good quality and and with genuine international cuisines) and (like everywhere else) coffee to die for. The outer suburban lifestyle is especially unique: being near the bush, awesome mountains, open spaces, genuine friends, sport, clubs, drives, camping, riding, secluded valleys, quaint villages, farmland, forests, rivers (in places the Hawkesbury is like a natural version of the Rhine), and so on is every bit as liveable as the affluent and photogenic (but often shallow) beaches and high rises. And it has its own multiple and interesting subcultures, often shaped by generations of migrants from everywhere determined to make life as wonderful as possible for their kids: Places like Cabramatta, Bankstown, Camden, Penrith, the Hawkesbury, the Hills, the Mountains, and even "The Shire" each have their own unique edge. They're not merely touristy and homogenised. By comparison, the centre of Sydney is merely pretty.
Hi I have a dream to work with barbering in Australia near/in Sidney. Where do I look to find places to live? Like the houses i can split with someone else? And is it easier to move if I already have a job I can take where I want?
No idea what you mean by medical choice. We were lucky that restrictions were pretty tight when covid hit. Infection rates were very low compared to many other cities of comparable size. There has been some relaxation now that peak infection has passed.
Very few restrictions left but some still in the health care area. Requiring people to be vaccinated for most jobs in frowned on and borderline illegal now. I am not sure of all the legal details but generally not a problem.
*$2490 aud together = couldn't afford sydney $4980 aud together =is practically my fortnight salary and its risky but its possible on a budget. You wont be eating out much or going out much unless you love the simple things like going to the beach and having picnics. My advice is to share with another couple.
"If you want history, go to Europe" by far the most ignorant and ethnocentric statement I heard in a video encouraging cultural exchange. Not sure if the poster have heard of the cultures of Asia, Africa or the America (or the obiriginies of Australia). Or that European history is far more recent than than that of the Middle East by several folds. For a white person I suppose history started with the Greeks.
America and Australia have culture? Are you joking? Speaking of other cultures, no one is ignoring other cultures, it comes down to personal preference Take it easy Mr other cultures
@@seanelias6478 Primitive or advanced, cultures are cultures. If they had languages, monuments, traditions, songs, etc. That is culture. Not sure why you're focused on America and Australia, my point is that there is culture outside of Europe. It's the most obvious and non controversial statement ever made in a RUclips comment sections but that irked you for some reason.
@@safarit678 I am not focused on Australia or America but you mentioned if the poster have heard if cultures of America or Australia beside other cultures. If you read my comment properly, I mentioned no one is ignoring other cultures but it comes down to personal preference.
@@seanelias6478 So your comment was irrelevant to my OP. Culture exist outside of Europe. Where there were social orders, there were cultures. The whole world did not start and end with Greece, who by the way, did not see themselves as European.

The Northern Beaches extend 45km (1hr by bus) and driving takes just as long in peak hour. At least the buses have priority
