Hi Maria, if you are coming to Australia, with your temu hauls, get lots of solar lights to go outside for Christmas, you will love them. Some really lovely christmas lights on there

Ooo good shout! Thank you! I went on temu and switched the location to Aus to see what kind of things were coming up, and I deffo found that prices were *slightly* higher and delivery time was doubled. So I think an order will be a good idea before we go haha

I feel for your daughter. Must be so scary for her but I’m sure she will be fine. Wait till she’s having so much fun on the beaches. We went out to Perth in 2016 and I fell in love with the place. We have family in Brisbane and we are hoping to move near the Gold Coast if the stars aline as we are finding it so so difficult.

Ahh I have everything crossed for you! What options have you explored so far? Ella is very excited and asks almost daily when we're moving to Australia; she'll have her adjustment period like we all will, but hopefully she'll feel settled with school etc fairly quickly. It'll be nice because she'll start year 1 at the same time with the rest of the kids, so everyone will be the newbie at the same time!

I'm an - Aussie! Do you know what State you're going to live in, do you like or not, the heat? The humidity in Summer? What would be an ideal lifestyle for you? Have you checked out house prices in the area you want to live here? Christmas is in summer here it's gorgeous. Your top summer temperature is like our low winter temp in Brisbane, Qld. Look for the blogs on moving to Australia, there's a few around for sure. It is a beautiful place to live AND it's far, far away from England and the rest of the world. Best wishes!

Hii! So it's going to be WA 100% as that's where my husbands job is going to be. We're just not sure where it'll be as of yet, but we have had recent updates which are progressing and that's exciting. We met in Sydney and lived there for a year, so loved that! I'm hoping we know more soon so that I can start looking at specific areas! Thank you :)

Even just listening to you talk in the beginning of this video, I truly believe everything is already unfolding for you behind the scenes. This limbo feels like such a positive, it’s giving AUSSIE 🤍

[@mariatateofficial]

Ohhhh I really hope so! 🤞🏼 I’m so eager to find out what the next adventure is gonna be 🥰

[@heatherknowsbest]

Ive just found your channel so i am binging your videos ha! We are currently waiting for our visa decision and live in Leeds too! I am also a PE teacher.

[@mariatateofficial]

omgg that is so exciting!! love this haha. What poiint in the process are you? Expression of interest or lodged a visa application?

[@heatherknowsbest]

@ we lodged our 189 visa on 26th November. We have an idea to move in October 25 to QLD. So hopefully we get a decision soon 🤞🏼.

[@mariatateofficial]

@@heatherknowsbest that is really great to hear, I'm so excited for you. Have you spent much time in Australia before thinking about your move?

[@heatherknowsbest]

@@mariatateofficial this probably sounds crazy…but we haven’t actually been haha. We are just doing it!! It just seems like a better way of life. You both met in Sydney is that right? X

[@mariatateofficial]

I'm never gonna be the person who says you're crazy for thinking "F it, let's try" haha. I have seen people move over with no experience of it before and then move back because it's not been affordable or whatever else. But I do think that's been just a bit of a bad choice in location more than anything else! So if you do your research which I have a feeling you really will, then it could be something amazing for you. We met in Sydney, yes! Then did some travelling of the east coast, but we've never been to WA which is where we'll be moving. I'm super excited though!
