Practical Expat

I’m Australian, lived in New Zealand, and now live in Canada.

This channel is for Australians who want practical, honest information about moving to Canada, the do’s, don’ts, systems, costs, and everyday realities that aren’t always obvious at first.

I’ve lived in Dubai, moved across continents and coastlines more than once, and I’m now navigating Canada coast-to-coast while supporting a university student.

I share my perspective on the things that have mattered to me along the way: finding work, moving between provinces, east vs west coast differences, housing, cost of living, weather, language quirks, and the smaller day-to-day details you only really notice once you’re living it.

Practical, real, and occasionally fun, always honest.
