Moving to Australia – ‘Moving Forward – Down Under’
‘Moving Forward – Down Under’
A lot of people are moving abroad and relocating to Australia. The two standout reasons for this lay at both ends of the gamut – adventure and retirement. Many young couples take a year out to travel throughout Oz, taking in a few major cities, sampling the lifestyle, the scenery and the culture. Others look to Australia as a way of putting on the brakes; in contrast to the UK, Australia seems like a more relaxed setting in which to approach semi-retirement. The weather helps too. If you’re in either bracket, you may find the following tips useful ahead of any decision you make.
- Many people choose Australia for its intoxicating coastlines. It’s true that the country has numerous hotspots for swimming, snorkelling, surfboarding and much more.
- However if you’re on a limited budget, remember that the closer a home is to the coast, the more pricey it’s going to be.
- There’s no denying that if you’re moving to be with friends or family who have also made the big leap, then you will be in a better position than someone who is not.
- Those without that familial safety net will need to know how to make a connection. If you like sports, join a local club or a gym.
- If you have children, get them involved in family-related community activities.
- Unless you’re moving to the far reaches of the Australian outback, there’s a very good chance you will be moving into a friendly, approachable neighbourhood that will provide ways of making a connection.
- Finally, one of the most off-putting factors about moving to Australia for many is the presence of spiders. Here are the facts: Yes, some of them are big. Big and crawly. Yes, some of them are poisonous.
- However no one has died from a spider bite in Australia for over 30 years. So if you can get past the size thing, you’ll be fine.
