Things we learnt living abroad

📌 People still don't really know a lot about Australia and they have some wild ideas of what it's like living there. It's still a very foreign place to many Britts, particularly because it's too far!

📌 Europeans are bred different. Maybe more likely to be obnoxious or rude. Also, smoking??? C'mon!

📌 Australia is a very privileged country, we have a great deal of benefits, beauty and things to be proud of that can often be taken for granted. Weather is one of these, it truly influences everyone's mood, everyone's activity and the general vibes.

📌 Travel and living away educates you in empathy, politics, gratitude, culture and so many things. I think people who truly travel, those who immerse themselves to learn and listen with an open mind grow and develop more kindness, more awareness and more gratitude for life, for people of all kinds and all backgrounds.

📌 When you move away, you're the one that's expected to make the effort because it's perceived that you're the one that left.

📌 It doesn't take long to settle somewhere, develop a routine and start to have a place that feels a little like home.

📌 Travelling with family and friends is one of the best things you can do, to share stories and relatable experiences, to try new things and foods but mostly to create very unique memories ❤️

📌 Kindness and hospitality is so simple and easy to demonstrate, it can lead to so much growth, opportunity and memories. Living with Robbie and Emily was a highlight of our trip and really taught and showed us the amazing things that being caring, kind and welcoming can lead to. We leave with greater friends that what we came with.Read more
