Tip for experiencing the true Australia; Forget Melbourne, that could be aby city in Europe. Forget Bondi Beach if you're in Sydney. It's the most over rated over hyped over priced over crowded tiniest most crowded piece of sand in Australia. Full of drunk backpackers, broke European backpacker thieves that will steal as soon as you hit the water, look at me's and please will you look at me's. Don't even bother about Byron Bay, you will be seen as nothing more than a walking dollar sign to be bled clean. Gold coast? Huh. And if you don't want to contribute to the killing of the reef forget the barrier reef. Tourism is the major contributor to caral dieback. Hire a car, get out of the city and head down the south coast instead of the tourist trail north full of fake Australia and fake Australians who only care about how much they can get out of you. Or drive to Sydney the coastal way up through Lakes Entrance Mallacoota into NSW and up the coast through Wollongong to Sydney. Down the unknown road you will be seen as friends and not tourists with money. There still is Australia in some places, most have slowly become 'just another tourist trap' unfortunately.

Hi there! Thanks for your comment. To be honest, I agree with much of what you said especially about some of the tourist traps and overpriced places. It's very true, sadly! Your suggestion about hiring a car and driving around the south-eastern coast and towns is a great idea and an awesome way to see some of the lesser-known areas of the country. My intention in this video was to show some of the famous cities and attractions, and a few other places that are less well known to foreigners. Someday, I'll make a part 2 about some other less touristic places with a focus on Australia's unique nature and landscapes. Thanks again for your comments, I appreciate this kind of feedback and suggestions.

I am so happy to know you chose Colombia as your favorite country for living. I definitely don't understand why Colombians want to leave the country while foreingers want to live in the country. 😅 Colombia is a country full of surprises and places to be discover, like Choco (the department where I am from) and many many others. I am a person with limited resources and have relatives in United Stated, but I wish to live and work in Canada because it is offering a lot of job opportunities, and it has also nice places to visit. Greetings from Choco department and great video! 😉👍

Even after 12 years living here, I know there is so much more for me to discover, and I hope to visit Choco someday! Thanks a million for watching the video.

Sorry to hear that about Mexico 😞 Although I haven’t yet been to Pereira, I’ve heard it’s in a very beautiful part of the country with lower costs of living than the bigger cities like Bogotá and Medellin. I’ve lived in cities that are similar in size to Pereira and they were nice but had more frequent infrastructure problems (like electricity and water issues), but hopefully Pereira is a bit more developed.

Hi there. I agree with you, and it wasn't my intention at all to sound like I was generalizing about ALL of Colombia. I've lived in and visited several cities and towns throughout the country, and in the video I wanted to talk about some of the common traditions and customs I've seen throughout the country, but you're right, every region, town, and city has their small differences in culture, traditions, customs, foods, and much more. I'm sorry to say I haven't yet visited Pereira but it's definitely on my list of places to visit sometime in the next 12 months, so stay tuned, I'll make a video about it when I eventually get there.
