Walking off the plane and into the new country that will become your new home is an unforgettable experience. Looking around at what will soon become a familiar sight can be almost overwhelming. My flight was a fairly uneventful, 14 1/2 hour flight from Los Angeles on United. Granted, I would recommend other airlines based on comfort levels and customer service, but I really couldn’t beat their price for a one way ticket (which can sometimes run as much as a round trip ticket). United Airlines, or not, I was here. Finally. After a tedious and nerve racking VISA application process, I had made. But let’s back up here. I think the whole VISA process deserves a mention. It is after all, one of, if not the most important step for moving overseas. Not only is it time consuming, but it’s expensive. Very expensive. For most people here, myself included, it’s worth ever penny ( or Pound or Euro or…).

Anyways, these are all stories that will be told. Not now though, it’s late. My goal is to make this a helpful site for those interested in moving to Australia, as well as adjusting to life in other countries. I found only a handful of sites that were actually helpful during my process of moving, and I suppose it remains to be seen how helpful this one will actually be, but at least it’ll be entertaining, and another way to pass the time.
