the reason we prefer to use the clothes line is that the ultraviolet from the sun kills the germs on the clothes, it really is much healthier and cheaper than a drier.

Coffee is great here in Australia 🇦🇺. That is why Starbucks is struggling here as we all know Starbucks coffee sucks 😁

[@adamknight5089]

It's not that bad, but most independent coffee shops work so hard to make a good coffee and the general standard is so high, that Starbucks is nothing really compared to others. Any Aussie that goes to US would be going to Starbucks tho coz its normal coffee compared to the usual American black jug crap

Hey Amanda! I'm looking forward to hearing more about how this process goes for you. I feel like we are in similar situations...I, too, was nomadic for a while. I am American but lived and worked in New Zealand for seven months, traveling intermittently to Aus, Fiji and other places before going to South America and traveling around there. Like you, I met a guy and we decided to get settled in one place. I'm happier than ever, but it has been an adjustment too! My partner is American so for now we don't have any options for moving abroad (so jealous that you get to live in Sydney!). I would love to hear your perspective on the "putting down roots" process as someone who used to travel indefinitely. I find that I'm always looking for ways to make life interesting. :P Excited to hear more about your experience!

We love the hills hoist clothesline. We invented it because we're too lazy to walk around but have it turn around to us. And we hang our goon from it so we can drink some as we dong our rags out to dry. Since you're in Sydney, take a trip out to Parramatta for coffee and food at Tristan and Makayla's Bar & Espresso. And if you head into Newtown, Campos has amazing coffee too. Check to see if they still have cupping sessions.

I have wallabies in my driveway an echidna and a mob of 12 bush turkeys plus various mad arsed lizards and enormous spiders ,even had an actual tarantula flicked on my head once by my broom weilding room mate when shearing out near the Flinders Ranges .He woke me up and said to look at the ceiling where a spider as big as my fairly large hand was ,we zipped up our sleeping bags and wriggled outside the room then hatched the cunning plan to sweep it out with brooms ! So it ended up on my head and my mate was laughing his arse off so I plucked the bugger off and flung it on his face ,ended up the 2 of us running around the shearers quarters at 6 am in our undies screaming like little girls !

[@inodesnet]

In any country with 110-120V, boiling water with a jug takes twice as long. In Japan a company called Tiger created boilers that continue to keep water hot as a work around due to Japan having low voltages like the US. Almost everywhere else in the world uses 210-240V. You can get around it in the US with a dual circuit breaker attached to a -110V and +110V. Many people with Tesla’s have to do that. Just like boiling water takes too long on 110V, charging a Tesla on 110V takes forever as well. Boiling water in a jug takes about 3-4 minutes in Australia, 4-5 minutes in the cooktop and an electric jug would take maybe 7-8 minutes in the US. It’s quicker and cheaper to heat therefore on the cooktop in the US and much faster to use an electric jug in Australia.

We are happy that you are here and I would like to see more Americans come to live here, but many youtube video's from Americans living in Australia or visiting do not have all the facts right = Coffee is grown in Australla. Australian Subtropical Coffee Association www.astca.org/our-industry/Australian Subtropical Coffee is grown between Noosa and Coffs Harbour. There are approximately 35 growers on 300 ha with potential production of 600 tonnes of dry green bean per annum from 850,000 trees.Jun 27, 2018

NOT good coffee Marcus, indeed the BEST coffee in the best parts of the world are now reserved for Australian buyers, as the Australian coffee style is better than any where else.

[@keithkitson8610]

Unfortunately, as the Aus coffee farms are still mostly young and the growing conditions not ideal, the end product is still not as good as imported. But it's improving RAPIDLY! 😎😊 And even still, Melb baristas will turn it into something FAR better than you will get from Starbucks. 😂🤣

Welcome to Oz

[@ohhtae]

okay i want to move to Australia now. but seriously why don't we use kettles? or have power switches to our outlets. i don't understand. i can't wait to see more about you living in Australia !! xx

[@AmandaRoundtheGlobe]

Will be making loads of videos here for sure!! On alllll the things haha I have a lot of exciting stuff coming up!

[@jackienopants]

The reason the US don't commonly use electric kettles is due to the lower voltage in the power. ~110V vs ~240V in Australia. The difference means the electric kettles in the US would take a lot longer to boil.

[@marcusversace9423]

Hi Nicole. The reason we have a power switch on a power socket is Australian Electricity Standards- its a safety issue. You will find Australian standard are usually higher or stricter than in the USA, Europe etc = e.g common processed foods, chicken, dairy, cheese, honey, bread etc has to comply with Australian domestic standards not foreign standards - an example is chicken nuggets in Australia can only be made from chicken breast meat - no other part of the chicken. The Australian Department of Home Affairs (immigration) is a pain to deal with like the USA , they get inundated with applications to migrate so be patient

[@adamknight5089]

True Australians have high standards, very strict, which is why countries like China go apeshit over Aussie products coz they know they can trust it completely

[@stumpypetros2685]

Mine is removable, ie it sits on a base with a power connection. So I can fill and pour without having to unplug all the time. I seriously didn't realise The U.S. didn't have them. Well done jackienopants for the explaantion.

Not as hard as getting a visa to the US, it is also a nightmare.I really think NZ has a better quality of life than OZ, but their wages are 30-40% less than Australia and most things are more expensive.The quality of life in other major cities in OZ are even better. Sydney has become to expensive and you can rent an apartment 30-50% cheaper in Melbourne, Brisbane or Adelaide.

[@amanimwakyusa727]

Stephen Podesta hello

[@keithkitson8610]

Never mind the cost of living in Sydney. The quality of life is better in other Aus cities. And the people are friendlier. Sydney is GREATLY overhyped. Once you've seen the Opera House and the Bridge and ridden a ferry - what's left to stay there for?! And lets not forget, Sydney has NEVER been the capital of Aus. Melbourne was, from1901 until Sydney cried so much we built Canberra. 🤣🤣

Hi Amanda, welcome to Australia. I have just now found your channel and subscribed. I was born in Sydney and was there until 1981, when my family and I moved here to Melbourne. I noticed you were eating sliced bananas at the start of the video. I used to eat that quite often and they taste really great with a little sugar added on top or eaten with ice cream. Hmm!! I am making myself hungry here. LOL. Where are you from in the USA? Also, where did you live in New Zealand? My mum originally came from New Zealand. I travelled to New Zealand five times during the 1970's visiting relatives at the time. Anyway, wishing you the very best. Robert.

Amanda, you are probably living in a high rent area if you are anywhere near the water in Sydney, if any prospective visitors from OS have these aspirations get ready for San Francisco type rents [just from what I have read of the USA],. Melbourne has more affordable rentals around our large bay but you will be further away from the CBD.

Congrats on moving to Sydney ❤️ I am also an American who has lived in Australia before (for Uni) and I am looking to move back. How long were you able to stay in Australia before on a working holiday visa? I have heard that Americans are not eligible to do farm work for a second year of a working holiday visa ☹️

I was able to stay one year on a working holiday visa! And the laws have changed, as of 2017, Americans can do the farm work and get a second year :)
