Congratulations on your move guys 🎉 Happy for you both 🌻 Jealous of your winter sunshine, it's cold here in Sydney ❄️☃️

[@cjexplores]

Hi Lana!! Thank you darling ❤️ I bet it feels more like winter down there!

[@Zakri_Boy]

I would like to suggest starting a monthly Q&A session, as it sounds like a great idea that many vloggers follow?

[@cjexplores]

That’s a really good idea, we’ll definitely do that while we’re here 😁

[@adventureswithneve3464]

Hope its fun in Australia ❤have fun and i hope you see lots of animals🐨🐸🪱

[@cjexplores]

We got to see wallabies today, loads of cockatoos and a couple of flamin’ galahs! 🤣

[@kiwilisaoutandabout1320]

Welcome back to Aussie Char & Corey. Living on the Coast a good choice. I live in Brisbane & my daughter lives in Kirra & when I pop down it’s like I get a mini vacation, and yes parking is a bit of an issue. Any way looking forward to all your awesome content as usual. And I just want to say there was spectacular drone video in this vlog - when Char was walking across a bridge & the drone was panning back along the river / surrounded by lush greenery ( good work Corey!) Well all your Drone videos are great but that one just stood out in this video.

[@cjexplores]

Thanks Lisa ☺️🙏🏼❤️ that footage was actually up in the Sunshine Coast from years ago! I think it was in the middle of Buderim Forest Park… 🤔 glad you enjoyed it though! Hoping to capture even more amazing shots like that as we explore the region!

[@happydigo4726]

Greetings from Sunny Coast! :-)

[@cjexplores]

👋🏼 ☺️ we hope to be up for a visit soon! 😜

[@peterorth2149]

Welcome to the Gold Coast. I know you will love it even if it is getting so popular. I'm a Brisbane boy and still love the Coast. Both Sunny and Gold. I've been watching for months now and I enjoy your content. My favourite part is Charlotte's accent. I wont get sick of that one, foreals 😀. Cory, you look familiar to me. Have we met?? Anyways, Looking forward to your adventures. Bye for now.

[@cjexplores]

Hi Peter 👋🏼 not sure if we’ve met somewhere along the way… I used to be a delivery driver in Brisbane actually so I got around a lot! We will be revisiting Brisbane in the coming months, anything exciting going on that we need to know about??

[@peterorth2149]

@@cjexplores Im around the city alot too as a swimming pool service guy. Maybe we have bumped into each other. As for excitement, you guys have got that one covered but I was at Coolangatta last weekend and we noticed alot of puffs of spray on the ocean. On closer inspection it was a huge migration of whales heading North. Not sure if youve seen that? We headed to Point Danger for Brekky and watched whales all Sunday morning with loads of other Sunrise people like us. Some partial breaching and fin slapping. Made our day. I think Whale season is on for a while so you'll catch some for sure. Right off Palm beach too. See you at the Pirate ship park. We take the kiddies there some times.

[@louisaklimentos7583]

I am so happy for both of you . I am glad you are not living in Surface Paradise. Palm beach in Queensland is nice . I love the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast Hinterland . I like Burley Heads too ! You both are part of Australia and part of us now ! Congratulations!

[@cjexplores]

Woohoo!!! ❤️🎉🥳 thank you Louisa!! We are so excited to be here 🤩

👋🏼 Small struggling Travel Channel here. I love your content, thanks for this great video! You inspire me to keep grinding my channel, maby one day I’ll grow as big as you 🥲

[@cjexplores]

Good luck! Faceless channels can do quite well but I think it’s very competitive. Maybe try and use a better AI voice. James Matthews recently posted an amazing AI voice generator - go and check it out 😉 all the best on your journey! You gotta be in it for the long haul, that’s my number one tip. Make sure you enjoy making the content first and foremost!

If don't mind me asking, can you do apartment tour.

[@cjexplores]

Would love to show you our little place! We will put it in our next life update video so make sure you subscribe 😉

[@ClaireL77777]

Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give young people who have the dream of a permanent move to Australia 🇦🇺 Do they need a lot of funds behind them? Would you recommend they explore the country first? Cheers ❤

[@cjexplores]

Hi Claire! Great question, it really depends on your situation. If you have some money saved up then I would definitely recommend exploring the East Coast of Aus first. But if you need to make the move straight into work and you have a lot of personal possessions maybe moving into a rental straight away might be a better option for you. In terms of work, if you have the right attitude you can easily get work in hospitality or labouring for fairly decent money here. Especially if you don’t mind working afternoons/nights or weekends. (Plus the award minimum wage is going up by nearly 4% in July!) A lot of young people from all over the world travel up and down the East Coast when they get to Aus, picking up work and staying in backpacker hostels along the way. It’s a great way to meet people and make friends as well. If you want to do it, I think you should just do it. Of course you may be a bit scared to make the leap but trust me, you will make it work! 🙌🏼 Hope this helps ❤️ if you have any other questions feel free to ask!

Noooooooooo! Whats wrong with New Zealand, mind you Gold Coast is New Zealand with added perks

[@modfus]

It rains too much in NZ

[@cjexplores]

🤣🤣🤣 definitely a bit warmer here on the GC! But heaps of kiwis as well 😉

[@joshuabernatovitch8939]

The cost 😢

[@cjexplores]

@@joshuabernatovitch8939 are you saying the cost in NZ is more than Aus??
