Thank you so much for your videos. Growing up in Sydney with a croatian father this all seems so familiar to me. We had a huge back garden- dad grew just about every vegetable we ate. Such great memories. Have to say that it brought a tear to me eye. Thinking about all the wonderful croatians I have met. I wish you and your family all the best.

[@MyCroatianHomestead]

Thank you very much. It is a nice country for family and friendship life. Australia is not what it was when we moved there. Time to get out I think

[@pietrovukdedaj5792]

Zelim vam puno srece I uspjeha povratak u Hrvatsku I neka vas Bog blagoslovi 🙏

[@MyCroatianHomestead]

@pietrovukdedaj5792 hvala vam

[@d28k83]

Crazy how our grand parents flocked to Aus for a better life, and now their grandchildren are heading back to Croatia for a better life.

[@MyCroatianHomestead]

Yes I would have never thought I would move back here but Australia is not the country it used to be

[@novikom]

I remember my dad over 30 years ago predicting that europeans will one day move back to Europe.

Super.Uvijek nam je drago ako se Hrvati vračaju u našu prelijepu domovinu .Vjerujem da nije laka odluka,ali samo se čvrsto treba odlučiti .Nije iso ali i ja sam se davno vratila iz Njemačke .Nije mi nukada bilo žao .Život je još uvijek lijepši i prirodnijo.Iako nigdje nije lako,ali u svojoj si grudi zemlje.Čestitam i sretno.

[@MyCroatianHomestead]

Hvala vam. Nije bila laka odluka ali mislim da je prava. Sretni smo tu i imamao vise vremena jedni za druge. LP

I was born in Ireland but lived in Australia my whole life. I just finished my 4 year psychology degree and have decided to leave Australia and move to Europe, probably will settle in Croatia, which i have visited many times. There is no point to live in Australia if i cant afford a house. Freedom is everything, and renting forever is not freedom. Many of my friends are waiting for their parents to die so they can inherit, but i want to make my own life instead of being a leech. People are shocked when i tell them i am leaving and never coming back, but they just dont get how bad Australia is becoming. Sorry for the long message. Good luck on your move!

[@MyCroatianHomestead]

Thank you for the msg. Australia is not what is used to be. Many people do not know as they have not been anywhere else and do not know anything else. It is just normal for many.

[@SculptExpress-gv8jp]

Welcome to Croatia, much love to you ❤️

[@novikom]

I left nearly 17 years ago as it was unaffordable for me. I can't believe how much even worse it now is for young people.

[@kazukihiratani]

I'm with you when you say Australia isn't like it used to be, and that it's gotten really expensive to live there, and over here in New Zealand it's really bad. 800 dollars a week for a house?!?!? I'm moving to Croatia to join my girlfriend, and I'm gonna start over there. I need a healthier lifestyle. I want to eat healthier, slow down, not fuss about all the small things, and even with all the paperwork I'll have to do within the next year, it's all going to be worth it. New Zealand is slowly caving in on itself, and I don't want to be here anymore.

[@MyCroatianHomestead]

I agree with everything you are sayin. Good luck with moving it will be worth it

[@novikom]

My brother in law and his parents are from NZ. Even though his parents are currently temporarily over there they say they would never move back there, its not the same any more.

[@vickifenton6451]

I loved my visit to Croatia. Couldn’t believe how many neglected gardens …in amongst beautiful ones there were. I just wanted to jump in and renovate one.

[@MyCroatianHomestead]

Hehe there is and land is not as expensive. Maybe you could buy one and make it your own.

[@GameWatcher545]

Croatia is emptying slowly, always good to hear ppl coming back

[@MyCroatianHomestead]

Yes lots of people have left. We are in a good area close to the rest of europe so more people are here. Lots of them drive to work to Austria and drive back or come back on the weekend.

[@pietrovukdedaj5792]

It really is a Beautiful Country and good People in Croatia and good food and the most beautiful Adriatic cost in Croatia 🙏

[@MyCroatianHomestead]

We love it here in the village

[@cannasutra1]

Good move brother. When you said Australia isn't what it used to be it hit me hard. Everything is getting tougher and tougher and it's very much a rat race. I hope you have a great successful journey!

[@MyCroatianHomestead]

Thank you. Just look at the groceries now and 10 years back. When I started working one in the family was working and could provide for whole family even buy a home. Now two work even overtime and struggle.

[@novikom]

@@MyCroatianHomestead Back in the 90's I had 20% of a deposit for a house. Could have paid it off in about 5 years living with my parents. In 2007 when I left I calculated that more than 80% of my then pay would have gone to interest, leaving me not enough money for petrol food etc. It was too much for a single person back then I saw I had to leave otherwise I would have been in a mortgage till this day possibly if I was still single.

[@9and7]

Congratulations. The more the better. Povratak.

[@MyCroatianHomestead]

Thank you

Good luck with your new life. I enjoyed your videos. Will you be making anymore videos in Croatia? Diana

[@MyCroatianHomestead]

Thank you and I am happy you like my videos they will keep coming.

[@elizabethwilk9615]

Good luck - my Croatian family moved all over the place - there’s nothing like home. I do find that most of my relatives struggle there for cash flow in Croatia yet they don’t have to deal with crime and the very hard rat race. Still some of them have to go abroad and work then return to start a business.

[@MyCroatianHomestead]

Yea but what I have seen here the work they do not want to do in Croatia they are happy to do elsewhere. Does not make sense. From what I have seen here you can make good money

[@marcusharrison6617]

[@zoranmajstorovic2569]

@@MyCroatianHomestead Sigurno će te imati izazova, ali vjerujem da će te prodisati i opuštenije živjeti. Znam nekoliko obitelji koje se bave uzgojem povrća na malo i prodaju ga na štandu lokalne tržnice te žive od toga, ali naravno nisu bogati. Izazov će vam biti prvo pronaći stalne kupce, jer se ljudi trebaju naviknuti kupovati povrće od vas. Kad vam to krene, onda je dalje puno lakše.

[@MyCroatianHomestead]

Ma nama je bitno da se snadzemo tu i da nam se svidi da se opustimo. Posao nije toliko bitan. Vazno nam je kucu da sredimo a sa povrcem itd ce monza sebe samo krenuti pa sta bude od toga.

@@MyCroatianHomestead Thats like me Ive done some things that maybe weren't the best decisions etc but Im not going to look back when Im old and say what if. Ive lived my what if's. Gone through a lot of bad stuff because of it, still can't say whether I will be better off in the long run overall.. in some ways I am better off and in other ways Im not.

[@adamknight5089]

Good move, Australia pricing is ridiculous.. nothing like the times when we came here.

[@MyCroatianHomestead]

It has gone crazy I can not believe people are not leaving or protesting.

[@Mongoose-ct6us]

Why did you pick Croatia instead of Spain or Italy? Just curious. Great video. Very informative

[@MyCroatianHomestead]

I have got Croatian citizenship so it was easy to move here for us

[@annelentur]

We bought house in Croatia 2 flat 200m2 for 23.000 euro in village with kindergarten school shop nice beautiful village. Pure nature. Its close to Plitvice lake and 1h for the cost and snow is happening every year for at least 2 months

[@MyCroatianHomestead]

Yes for some reason Croats run away from places like this. They all want to be on the coast in big cities. Can not understand that. So much beauty in the country. All villages have all the amenities and cities are not that far

[@novikom]

@@MyCroatianHomestead The problem with small places is that employment is mainly in government institutions, retail, hospitality, tourism and some construction. With government jobs its political, family connections etc so people that can't get that kind of job are dissatisfied with the system. Retail and hospitality jobs are usually lower paying and/or long hours. Construction and tourism are mostly seasonal. So unless you get a goverment, retail or hospitality type job its hard to have enough income for a young family so they move to the bigger centres where there is more opportunity. I think a lot of those that left wouldn't have if they had found something decent where they were.

What was the original reason to move to Australia? And which state are you living in? Good luck with your move.

[@MyCroatianHomestead]

We came here for better life. Croatia after war as any country was bad to live in. No work. Dad had a job as electrician and was making enough money in a day to buy lunch for himself. When we came here it Australia was much different then now. I am in NSW Wollongong and work in Sydney.

If I were younger I would not hesitate for one second to move 'Down Under', not for one second. If there is a country self-sufficient in everthing, it is AUS. Europe is busted flush. Finished.

Australia is not going the right way. Young people can not afford to buy a house any more. Farms are out of reach unless you inherit it

[@d28k83]

Australia is not self-sufficient. Shut down the ports and see what happens.
