i'm moving alone to melbourne

[@joshuamilbecka]

I'm thinking about moving to Melbourne from New Zealand. This video has every single thought that's been replaying in my mind over and over again about losing my friends, family, etc back home. The unfamiliarity of moving somewhere that I have no one and is brand new. So incredibly scary but you're incredible for making the move. Really inspired by you and this video! Thank you for being honest, makes me feel a lot less alone!

[@halfalligator6518]

lots of kiwi's over here and we're always happy to meet our fellow countrymen. It's tough sometimes (especially during first few years), but just think it's really no different to moving to the South or North island in NZ. Only difference is an extra 2 hours on the plane.

[@VictorFang]

Thanks for the message and for sure it definitely is scary at times! This response is a little late but I hope you figured it out. Did you end up making the move?

[@jazzyfizzle5858]

So inspiring. I've been thinking of moving to Melbourne after spending a week there for my bday. I love how alive the city is, and it appears to be so many more opportunities.

[@Jorenaranas]

About to take the leap myself, hopefully by the end of the year! Always wanted to live there and pursue a career in design. Definitely bummed about leaving my family behind but it's an experience I think I need to have. Loved the video!

[@VictorFang]

Wish you luck with it! I'm sure you'll love melbourne and learn a lot

[@CHARL1E]

Wow, that's great Victor. Hoping you adjust and adapt nicely to this new environment

[@VictorFang]

Thanks Charlie, really liking it here so far

[@CHARL1E]

@@VictorFang Glad to hear that Victor!

Welcome, Melbourne life is very fast, so be careful of others.

I’m thinking of moving to Melbourne from Sydney. A bit scared to leave my friends and family behind. I relate to you a lot in your video. I applied some jobs in Melbourne and waiting how it goes. I just feel stuck in Sydney and myself is telling to move away. A bit sad I will have to leave my cat behind for a year or so

[@VictorFang]

If you're strongly desiring it then you should totally go for it! It's not a one way door so if things don't work out you can always come back to Melbourne to friends and family :) Remember, Sydney and Melbourne are only a 90minute plane away from each other

[@TechwithLucy]

Cool intro shots! 👌 Enjoy Melbourne

[@VictorFang]

Thanks lucy!

[@allbrandon5428]

woww excited for more melbourne content!!

[@barnowl5774]

Welcome to Melbourne! Enjoy!

[@VictorFang]

thanks :)

[@VenkateshPattamatta]

Amazing man! I was hoping to meet people in Canva (If I join, hopefully soon), but youre gonna do good! You're gonna learn a lot, youre gonna love some things about Mel (food, night life, expenses) and hate some things (weather, transport etc) but all in all you'll do great!

[@VictorFang]

Thanks, really appreciate it - you sound like you're from Melb? Good luck with your application for Canva

[@VenkateshPattamatta]

@@VictorFang Nah, Im from Sydney but Ive been to Melb couple of times :) And thanks brother :)

[@bign1667]

I came across your video because i too am shocked how much cheaper Melbourne is now compared to anywhere within 1.5h of sydney. I was speaking to my parents about it and im feeling the same way banging my head against a wall wondering why am i trying so hard to afford a house with a double garage within 2 hours of sydney when its easy attainable in Melbourne and there is many IT jobs out there as well like sydney. I live about 1 hour of western Sydney so sounds like you've taken the bold move to benefit from a similar bit more affordable cost of living lifestyle. How do you find the nightlife and ease of transport in Melbourne compared to sydney?

[@VictorFang]

That's great to hear, melbourne housing is definitely sooo much more affordable (i also live in western sydney)! Transport within the city is defs easier in melbourne because of the tram but I'd say I still like sydney trains better (despite the delays). Everything in melbourne is much closer though so you don't have to travel as far unlike sydney. People say nightlife in melb is a lot better than sydney

[@BimoBoii]

Very inspiring vid man! Looking to make a move to either Melbourne or Syd coming from Auckland, NZ for similar self-growth purposes. Curious to know why you moved back to Sydney and where are you planning to head to for your bigger stint? Cheers 🤙🏽

[@Useryuic]

Your new government is smart , better quality and life . At least you don’t have to renounce

[@Zekriax]

Hey bro! 25 here and looking to make the move to Melbourne this month from Sydney. How are you travelling in your own journey down in Melbourne so far?

[@VictorFang]

I've unfortunately moved back to Sydney as melbourne was a temporary stint for a bigger move in future 😅. I quite enjoyed my time down there though and would defs do it again

[@arsalansajed5292]

dude your room looks sick! do you share it with others? how much rent do you pay and would you recommend living in the city? I am moving to melb from sydney in the next month and just doing some apartment hunting!

[@VictorFang]

yup i shared the apartment with a stranger I found on facebook marketplace. I paid ~340/week with bills included. And yup, I absolutely loved living in the city and close to the botanic gardens - made life so much easier

[@codewebsduh2667]

Actually loved watching this haha.

[@VictorFang]

glad you enjoyed it :)

[@hovv6804]

You should turn that part into a poem😂

[@que4361]

Hi ! I’m moving to Melbourne in a week from Perth and I’m curious on how you found a rental?

[@VictorFang]

I found mine via FB marketplace but there are plenty of places like flatmates.com.au, fb groups and others

[@zainabhussain9560]

i want to move to melbourne from manchester, uk next year! ❤

[@VictorFang]

good luck with the move! :)

[@angelicanito1698]

Would you say that living in Melbourne is a better lifestyle than Sydney? And is rent better ROI for what you pay? Would love to hear your thoughts!

[@VictorFang]

Rent is definitely better here and it's cheaper and easier to live closer to the city (unlike Sydney). The lifestyle is similar, Melbourne is a little more chill paced and Sydney is better for natural attractions (beaches, mountains, etc). I'll be making a video comparing Sydney and Melbourne shortly :)

[@ikhzanurakhir]

Hello. How are you?

[@Superior-Spider-Man-q5o]

So am I

[@josephlownang6992]

good video mate

[@onefortyfour3]

Were you commuting 1-1.5 hrs to UNSW back when you were studying?

[@VictorFang]

Unfortunately yes

[@onefortyfour3]

@@VictorFang I see. That's tough. I think I'm gonna be in the same boat soon. But it seems you did a lot of cool stuff during your time at uni despite the commute times which kinda inspired me. So thanks

[@recursion.]

yo how's melbourne cheaper than sydney? a video woulda been great anyway have a good weekend.

[@VictorFang]

Food and things are the same price but rent and housing, especially in the city is still much cheaper! And thanks appreciate it, thinking of making an apartment tour video 🙂
