Hoping for a ticket the fok out of this wasteland.

Reality = 5 pairs of these boots I want from the States.

For others: No f'n clue yet. List of people keeps growing every year and it's getting a bit unmanageable now.
 
MrM - that's a deal! xo

FF - I've just been here way longer than planned and not being able to leave when I want has really tainted my view of the place. You'll love it if you move here, I'm sure. It's rather expensive to live in the major cities but I guess that's the same as everywhere. But the wages are great, a lot of holidays - I think it's 4 weeks mandatory a year + stat holidays. Very much an outdoor culture which I love. A lot of adventures to go on and I've found Aussies to be much more open to trying new stuff and welcoming new people than in other places I've lived. Awesome people. And Melbourne's quite brilliant. If I could come and go as I pleased, it'd be all good. :)

Where else have you lived if you don't mind me asking. I've heard nothing but positive things from AUS, but I could see the sense of being landlocked making someoen want to be set freee.

Besides Canada and the US, I've lived in Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, London and I think I'm forgetting one or two more places. I've been to other countries for extended periods of time but never got to the actually being a resident thing. All of those places were great too in their own ways but the people had a bit more of a rigid social circle... still lovely but they kept to their friends they'd known since grade school kind of thing. And other than England obviously, unless you made an effort to learn the language you are kind of always a bit on the outside even though English is quite prevalent in each of those countries, other than Italy and Germany somewhat. Actually I did learn the language in most cases and it was still hard. You find yourself hanging out mainly with other transplants which is fine but kind of takes away from the whole point of living somewhere else. Here, all of the people I was working with left around the time I was supposed to so now my friends are all Aussies.

One of my friends from back home (my actual home town) works for Adobe and she was offered the chance to move to Sydney a couple of years ago. She was a bit hesitant just because of the distance when she wanted to go back to visit family but after realising how much time she'd get off each year, she did. It was supposed to be just a year stint but she kept asking for it to be extended and now she's here permanently. No desire to go back. For people who are into the outdoors, sports, gambling, good food, etc... it's an excellent place. Just very laid back. And it's so close - and cheap - to go to other countries that you get the chance to explore places that are usually prohibitive when living in N America because the airfare alone is a fortune. I've visited so many Asian and Oceanic countries that I probably never would've had I not lived here. The only place I didn't get the chance to go to that I'm really disappointed about was Antarctica. Some day. :)

Antarctica?

WTF?

Just visit Thunder Bay during a winter storm, same thing.

PS: Do you even know who the President of Antarctica is?

:lmao:

I've just always been in to wanting to see and experience stuff with my own eyes rather than just hear about it or live through a tv screen or textbooks or whatever. And in the past few years I've really fallen in love with David Attenborough. So that's helped make me want to explore too. I just want to see and learn everything out there. I've been lucky that a lot of my travel has been on someone else's dime. But I'm going to keep doing it. That's why I'm not daunted if we get to CR and it ends up not being suitable for my son. I'll just pack us up and we'll continue on. I just want to try for myself.

Wow I could've found a better person to talk to. So comparing AUS to Norway and Swtiz and Sweeden you think AUS is the easiest place for an american to get founded in and not be too far outcasted from the norms because of his accent? I am offly attracted to Sweedens though. The US is too demanding of it's citizens. I also LOVE the outdoors and doing wild things that I'm not normally pushed to do.

Sounds like I need to start planning my trip!
