Before Moving

Packing up and moving to Sydney isn’t easy. Most people choose not to move even when the opportunity is handed to them on a silver platter. But deciding whether you should move depends on many factors, and I obviously hope you do (that’s why this entire site exists).

I break down complete relocation expenses (visa fees, shipping costs, arrival expenses that hit you all at once), help you budget for those first expensive months when everything costs more than you thought it would, and address the honest reasons people do and don’t make the move. You’ll find out why Australia attracts professionals and families, what stops most people from following through (and whether those concerns are actually valid), and why some relocations work out while others don’t.

You’ll get clear information to help you make the decision and prepare for your relocation to Sydney. Not romanticized Instagram versions of expat life.
