“I didn’t catch the first bus” probably because you were videoing yourself crossing the road which you would of had to cross back over just to get the camera 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video! I’m in California and don’t travel much so this answered a lot of my questions. What a wonderful experience this was for you. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing a little of your busy day! I think you just need to be more organized with your time and try to make a good meal for the work day for you. You deserve it !!
You should definitely check it out! You'd find a lot of value out of going for even a short period of time. The working lifestyle there is definitely different.
Hey I'm an American who has been living in Asia for two years now, South Korea and Vietnam. If you have any pointers on how to move or find a job in Australia I would love to know. It is my dream.
I'm sure you know this part but obviously the visa is the most important part (especially ones that give you a decent amount of work hours because employers like more flexibility). Australia can be strict on giving out working visas, so I know several of the people I worked with that were from other countries also enrolled themselves in school since you get to work on that visa. That is also what I was on (Subclass 500, but you can only work 40 hours a fortnight on it). You obviously don't have to do this though, there are others available it just makes it a little easier. In terms of finding a job... I worked for my company in America so they transferred me over, sp I didn't exactly have to job hunt. I know it's fairly easy to get jobs at hostels and bars, but if you are looking for something else I'm not sure how much more help I could be.
Carson McRae I appreciate the reply Carson. I’ll definitely look into it. If you dont mind me asking, what state did you come from? I’m from Arizona and I hear the weather in AU can be quite similar.
@@AcousticDolph I'm from Tennessee. I've never personally been to Arizona, but from what I know about the weather there, I would tend to agree with you. When I got here in the winter it was not as cold as I am used to dealing with (Tennesse is usually around 30F or warmer during the winter). And during the summer it seems to be slightly warmer than Tennessee (Around 85-90F avg. in TN) as well, but it also depends on the day. It can get extremely hot here though, and I believe Arizona does as well? One slightly annoying thing that comes with the weather in AU is maintaining a comfortable temperature inside. Heating and air conditioning aren't as widespread as it is in the States. My apartment, for instance, did not have either and it was particularly annoying during the winter. A space heater and/or fan can solve this though... or just living somewhere that has them to begin with haha. Feel free to ask anything else if you need anything!
After applying and getting your visa. finding work here is easy as, just go out and ask. be keen and just go in confident, being relaxed and friendly is what Australia is all about. if you want to travel as much as possible, I would recommend the seasonal fruit or veg picking. we make everything here from wine to scallops, there is so much to do here
Thank you,that was a nice video you done while over here in Oz, i am a true Aussie, and live 100 km south of Sydney in " The Southern Highlands ".. Your Welcome back anytime, i look forward to your next visit and video 👍
If you're still in Australia with the whole pandemic going on, there is a whole slew of international food that you really should try while you're there - if you're picky and eating McDonalds, it sounds like the bar to beat is more around familiarity as opposed to how good the food is. There are some amazing brunch places just to the east of Central. Also, try the coffee if you haven't already done so. Google to find the best places :)
Thanks for the suggestions! And don’t worry, I had my fair share of new foods. Work days just happen to be a really bad day for food because I’m rushing around the whole day. I had planned on getting some actual food after work but I waited too late and everything was closed. For lunch that day I did have some Thai food but I don’t believe I ended up showing it in this video because I couldn’t find a good place to include it. But honestly cost was a slight factor because food in Australia tends to be a lot more expensive for less of it. And I wish I was a coffee drinker because everyone tells me Australian coffee is so good!
We have a thing called portion control and nutrition. Not like America where you pay little for a lot of food that are usually unhealthy. Quality of food is also better here.
Darlon Sadettan-Six while that may be partially true, even food from the store was more expensive for less of it. Bacon, for example, is something I’d buy and eat with breakfast almost every day in America. In Australia it wasn’t even worth it for me to buy because it was more expensive for less of it (and I personally eat Turkey bacon so there isn’t as much grease). I thought the food was good, but aside from less fast food options it really wasn’t miles healthier
Thanks for posting the vid. It showed Sydney in a good light, and you seem to have a knack for enjoying yourself you have a positive outlook on life. I'll say to you some thing similar to that thing that a famous Vulcan once said "I hope that you Live long, and prosper"
I had a teacher swap my teacher went to Australia and an Australian teacher came to America and when our teacher from America got back from Australia she had an accent
Guilherme Bonini it was either wake up earlier and make my own food, or go broke and pay for better food. I took the easy way out. But I agree it was not a good breakfast whatsoever
@@CarsonMcRae yeah i don't judge you lol i'm moving to Sydney next year to study and that's definitely gonna be part of my routine as well haha. cool vids and nice editing tho! :)
Peter Breis you realize an egg McMuffin is egg ham and bread right? It’s not exactly the best meal in the world but not unhealthy. Just because I was rushed to record and also get food does not mean I have “elementary life skills.”
Peter Breis I understand what you are saying but as I said, it may not be the most healthy thing in the world, but a few times a week it’s not the end of the world. And when I don’t meal prep and just need a quick snack it’s also not a bad option.
yer bed setup is nice and simp[le and minimalist like mine. i strictly need to be comfortable no need for an extravagant set up. i do like pillows but aside from that only what i need fer comfortable sleep. jess thought i'd throw that out there.
What do you do for work? I am about to graduate and want to work in Australia and most importantly start a family there and NOT in America. Would you say Australia is any better in terms of a collective value system? Or are everyone degenerates there as well? I cannot take it here anymore I DESPERATELY NEED to live somewhere where people understand there is more to life than possessions, social media and trends
My Name Is David Hogg & I Approve This Message I troubleshoot mobile devices. And I would say it depends on where you are just like in America, but overall I really don’t think you would have any problems in Sydney. It’s amazing there, super laid back, and the people are lovey. Definitely somewhere to try living, just keep in mind it’s pretty expensive
If you're still there. Go to master yangs 2 shops down from Macdonalds get a chinese pancake with pork. That was my daily before I left NSW for New Mexico. Onya mate

@@CarsonMcRae Hey Carson. Just saw your video and comment. I appreciate you sharing your experiences with Australia. I recently been working on immigration to the country and I'm from US. I want to find better opportunities with work and life balance + lifestyle and Australia exceeds my expectations a lot. Been in US my whole life and I'm Hispanic with family here. I can't take America anymore and the work life balance and just system in US isn't for me. Especially after the pandemic. I'm wasting time in America and I'm better off elsewhere. I have my Associates Degree and I was working before the pandemic and lost a job offer. I really want to try something new and better lifestyle. America just isn't it with all the bad things happening right after COVID. I spoke to someone from Department of Affairs with the process and I'm 28. Is it too late for me to still immigrate to Australia? I know friends that moved to Japan and other countries, they're better off. Your advice and insight would be greatly appreciated. Just need a new start and opportunity. Gave America too many chances.
Hi! I’m planning to venture out to the country from the States towards the end of the year. I’ve been in TX most of my life so I’m used to the heat (although it might be a different type of heat). Being able to work for anywhere I’m flexible as far as dates & cities go. Do y’all have any recommendations? Genuinely asking. Your feedback will be greatly appreciated. I’ve between Gold Coast, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney. Also, if y’all know the current state of the country I’d love to hear about it. I’m doing so much research before I relocate.
I’d probably stick with either Sydney or Melbourne. Perth is great but it’s kind of isolated from everything else. Out of those two, I’d probably say Sydney but I’m biased because I lived there.
I guess it would depend on where in California you live. I live in Nashville, so I found the summer time in Australia to be a lot hotter, winter was not as bad. Overall, the weather was similar. I know Ventura is around 60-70 year round... you won't find that
@@CarsonMcRae I love Australia. I think the most populated state in Australia is New South Wales. I don't know why Australia is expensive though. The two main parties in Australia is the Australian Labour Party and we would know them as Liberals and the other is the Australian Liberal Party and we would know them as Conservatives.
@@Monkeyland03 basically Australia is the same population as Texas.......do you think if the USA only had that amount of consumers that the value of items (be what ever they are) would still be what they are today?........if you have 330 million people ...a good economic scale is to imagine,what Australia produces and consumes in a given year the USA consumes in just 3 weeks!!!......big difference hence they can afford cheaper prices on most things in life.
Universe Cranberry I personally prefer Sydney over Melbourne but I can’t speak to Brisbane. Rent is going to be the most expensive thing you have to deal with and it’s pretty steep in most places. I’m not sure what food is like where you live, but comparing it to American prices it’s slightly more expensive. However, even though it’s only slightly more expensive there is less of it. It’s good for staying healthy but I never felt super full unless I ate more than their typical servings in some cases. While it sounds cheap (only a few AUD) per ride, I ended up spending about 400 AUD a month on public transportation. Which is a lot more than I was expecting. However, I think if you are a resident you can get a different card that lets you pay less, and there may have been bundles to make it a little less, but I paid per ride. My phone bill is something I found to be a lot less expensive though, but the service there is not as good
Universe Cranberry Sydney is fairly expensive but wages are high enough to live well. Minimum full time wage is just under 40k aud with an average fulltime wage of just over 80k
His typical work day has two bus trips and two train trips. On Sundays there is a cap of $2.80 (or was then) so you can take as many trips on any form of public transport as you like (rail, bus, ferry, tram) and it will not exceed that amount. For example he took the train to Bondi and back and it would have been effectively free because he had already paid the capped amount getting to work.
People are extremely friendly in Australia, and I don't doubt you'd have any trouble making friends if you moved there. Like any new place, it's best to get involved in activities and hobbies you enjoy to meet people!
I was lucky enough to be in a situation where my current employer had connections there. I met a lot of people doing working holidays and such. But that would depend on what work you are looking for
$80 for transit fares!? Per month? It wasn’t clear. I think there’s a reduced student fare. Sydney is famous for incredible food so eating at MacDonalds is just ...... sad! Egg McMuffin is the same as eating a couple of spoonfuls of fat with a dose of salt and sugar. Plus all the food additives for free! So many other healthier, tastier choices! And surely eating at home can’t be all that difficult especially for breakfast. You might consider muesli - totally different from the “muesli” in the US which resembles chaff even a horse wouldn’t eat. And no cooking required and so healthful! I know you’re on a tight budget but pizza isn’t exactly economical. And again, all the fat and salt (and probably MSG) you don’t need. You shoulda/coulda have had incredible Chinese food for the same price or less in Chatswood before getting on the train! There’s so much in Chatswood, it’s really a whole other city. And Bondi Beach! Yeah, it’s on the east coast mate, so no sunset. But still, depending on the weather it can be pretty stunning during sunsets, even on stormy days. The colors of the sea and cloud formations can be quite dramatic. Restaurants are more pricey at Bondi Beach. You have more economic choices at Bondi Junction on your way home. Walk around, there are tons of restaurants to choose from. I live in both the US and Australia and know that there’s a lot in common but the differences are still pretty striking. One of the most obvious difference is our attitude towards food. Americans have the unfortunate problem of being sold on a lot of processed cheap food. The consequence being that it’s become a health crisis and the loss of an educated palate. Australia has an abundance of really great food. But admittedly it’s not cheap. However it’s the price of staying healthy. Woefully many Australians have become Americanized in their food habits with the prevalence of fast food restaurants and processed foods at the supermarkets. Well, I hope you’ll have a fuller and richer experience with food while you’re in Australia. Leave the pizzas and Big Macs for when you get home. BTW, University of NSW was my alma mater. The food at the Students Union wasn’t too bad nor too expensive when I was there. But I usually ate at the cheap restaurants in Randwick, Kingsford or Kensington. They cater to students. Hope you’re not offended by my comments. You’re in one of the greatest food cities in the world and I didn’t want you to miss out while on your adventure in Australia. Try the fruits, especially the seasonal stuff. You’ll be amazed! You’ll never look at fruits the same again! Check out the outer suburbs for food as well, not just Sydney. Honestly, it’s really hard to have a bad meal in Sydney. Good luck. And good eating!
Super cool hearing you mention all the places I’m familiar with! And if it makes you feel any better, I had Thai food for lunch I just didn’t show it. It’s actually surprised me quite a bit how much of a takeaway what I ate was in this video (everyone’s mentioned it lol) and I’ve addressed it a few times. But one thing I haven’t mentioned is that food isn’t that important to me. A lot of people seem to be a huge food enthusiast and that just isn’t me. I’m someone who could, if it were possible, never have to eat or taste a thing again and I’d be content. I literally only showed what I was eating because it was part of my day but if I had known people cared so much I would have made an effort to eat at some of my favorite places and show it (but again it’s just not something important to me). This was my first time doing an actual vlog and I had to record stuff like 5 times each because I was nervous so the last thing on my mind while trying to make it everywhere on time was the food.
Carson McRae ok I got it! Pretty funny how we foodies are so obsessed! Yeah vlogging ain’t as easy as it looks. It takes real work. And many takes! Thanks for the reply. I also noticed belatedly that you originally posted the video about a year ago! So it wasn’t going to be helpful anyway!
I troubleshoot issues with phones. And I am in undergrad in America (working on my bachelors), so I was just taking elective courses in my majors. At my home university I am studying Political Science and Human & Organizational Development
Yes you do seem to eat a lot of crap! How could you not find anywhere better to eat in Chatswood, Bondi or Bondi Junction, they're all full of places to eat.
So basically living in Australia is exactly like working in the United States....except you get an hour lunch break in the US and you'll probably have a car.
I completely agree. My lunch wasn't pictured but I did have Thai chicken and fried rice with broccoli if that makes up for the crap I had in the video. I was too busy focusing on making sure I had every shot to actually plan out food, and the original plan was to cook when I got home but I was just too tired. Australia does have great food though, I'm just a picky eater so it isn't a priority for me.
You're doing the same things as you would in the US. That's all the first 2 minutes showed. I've been to Perth (and a dozen other places) and getting out of bed and checking the mail box, sad.
Isn't it crazy how WORKING (the focus of the video) in two similar places, lead to the experience being similar! Love the comment man! Thanks for the view :)
@@CarsonMcRae I'm 1/2 Norwegian and started speaking Norske before English living there. Today Norwegians will say about the same thing. With me, I have a significant hearing loss from serving in the US Navy. Americans don't like me but in Australia, their accent and my not being an Australian will probably help me. Some parts of Australia are similar to Florida because it's tropical. Other parts (the Outback) are like the southwest, they live and breath at 45 degrees Celsius. But what I've heard is that the best part of dating an Australian woman is her Australian accent. That could be a game changer, eh mate? ;)
Its "I haven't eaten breakfast yet" not "I haven't ate breakfast yet " thats past tense, that would be "I just ate breakfast" or "Just had my breakfast"
“I didn’t catch the first bus” probably because you were videoing yourself crossing the road which you would of had to cross back over just to get the camera 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@Monkeyland03 basically Australia is the same population as Texas.......do you think if the USA only had that amount of consumers that the value of items (be what ever they are) would still be what they are today?........if you have 330 million people ...a good economic scale is to imagine,what Australia produces and consumes in a given year the USA consumes in just 3 weeks!!!......big difference hence they can afford cheaper prices on most things in life.
@@johndefriee1982 Thank you for explaining that. Do you live in Australia?
nice video!
i'm late for the bus *proceeds to do random clips of him walking and checking some mail*
He's from Nashville I'm in Chattanooga. That's where I'm from.
lmao the start of the video scared me. what kind of song is that?
I'm wondering how expensive is it for you to live in Sydney? ,and if Sydney's a better place to move than Brisbane or Melbourne?
Universe Cranberry I personally prefer Sydney over Melbourne but I can’t speak to Brisbane. Rent is going to be the most expensive thing you have to deal with and it’s pretty steep in most places. I’m not sure what food is like where you live, but comparing it to American prices it’s slightly more expensive. However, even though it’s only slightly more expensive there is less of it. It’s good for staying healthy but I never felt super full unless I ate more than their typical servings in some cases. While it sounds cheap (only a few AUD) per ride, I ended up spending about 400 AUD a month on public transportation. Which is a lot more than I was expecting. However, I think if you are a resident you can get a different card that lets you pay less, and there may have been bundles to make it a little less, but I paid per ride. My phone bill is something I found to be a lot less expensive though, but the service there is not as good
@@CarsonMcRae thank you
Universe Cranberry Sydney is fairly expensive but wages are high enough to live well. Minimum full time wage is just under 40k aud with an average fulltime wage of just over 80k
@@Glenn-ei3xp thank you I will take that into consideration
For me the ranking iss gonna be Mel _ Bris _Syd
Are you gonna move there permanently?
Maybe one day. I still live in Nashville
Great job thumbs up
Can I meet you at central if you are still in Sydney hehe
When will you upload more videos tho?
I want to upload more, but it is hard to find interesting stuff to record right now with COVID-19.
@@CarsonMcRae don’t you have more videos about Australia? Love it buddy !!
what was that song was playing in the 7:11?
I'm really looking for it
back for love dj mayson
Undecided:USA or AU..nice video thanks!
Hey Carson I’m looking for job sponsership any clues
Sorry for the late response. I'm not sure I can be much help here. My employer at the time assisted me
This just looks like a regular old day in America.
Two very similar countries.
AJR!!!!!!!!!
Vanderbilt 💛🖤
Fast food for breakfast and dinner?
watch Austin Augie he has similar really dope edits like you
No more videos?
I have one I need to edit but there hasn’t been anything to record lately
liked your day
Reminds me of Roman Atwood 🤣
That was your grandma 😮
You should visit Perth. It is a beautiful city..
Sorry u said it is 50 minutes bus trip cost 10 dollar ? But only 2 dollar Sunday ? Crazy !
I’m not sure if you watched the video then. I never took a 50 minute bus and no clue where you got the $10
Sorry 15 minutes from UNSW ? U said typical work day ends up 10 dollar but 2.7 on Sunday ?
His typical work day has two bus trips and two train trips. On Sundays there is a cap of $2.80 (or was then) so you can take as many trips on any form of public transport as you like (rail, bus, ferry, tram) and it will not exceed that amount. For example he took the train to Bondi and back and it would have been effectively free because he had already paid the capped amount getting to work.
I live 1hour away by car from country to the city of Melbourne, by train it hour and a half, it only cost me $2:60, , 7 days a week
Is it easy to make friends in Australia?
People are extremely friendly in Australia, and I don't doubt you'd have any trouble making friends if you moved there. Like any new place, it's best to get involved in activities and hobbies you enjoy to meet people!
is it easy to get work there?
I was lucky enough to be in a situation where my current employer had connections there. I met a lot of people doing working holidays and such. But that would depend on what work you are looking for
❤️❤️❤️
Hi Can you create next video with Eng subtitles ?
That's a great suggestion, thank you!

$80 for transit fares!? Per month? It wasn’t clear. I think there’s a reduced student fare.
Sydney is famous for incredible food so eating at MacDonalds is just ...... sad! Egg McMuffin is the same as eating a couple of spoonfuls of fat with a dose of salt and sugar. Plus all the food additives for free! So many other healthier, tastier choices! And surely eating at home can’t be all that difficult especially for breakfast. You might consider muesli - totally different from the “muesli” in the US which resembles chaff even a horse wouldn’t eat. And no cooking required and so healthful! I know you’re on a tight budget but pizza isn’t exactly economical. And again, all the fat and salt (and probably MSG) you don’t need. You shoulda/coulda have had incredible Chinese food for the same price or less in Chatswood before getting on the train! There’s so much in Chatswood, it’s really a whole other city.
And Bondi Beach! Yeah, it’s on the east coast mate, so no sunset. But still, depending on the weather it can be pretty stunning during sunsets, even on stormy days. The colors of the sea and cloud formations can be quite dramatic.
Restaurants are more pricey at Bondi Beach. You have more economic choices at Bondi Junction on your way home. Walk around, there are tons of restaurants to choose from.
I live in both the US and Australia and know that there’s a lot in common but the differences are still pretty striking. One of the most obvious difference is our attitude towards food. Americans have the unfortunate problem of being sold on a lot of processed cheap food. The consequence being that it’s become a health crisis and the loss of an educated palate. Australia has an abundance of really great food. But admittedly it’s not cheap. However it’s the price of staying healthy. Woefully many Australians have become Americanized in their food habits with the prevalence of fast food restaurants and processed foods at the supermarkets.
Well, I hope you’ll have a fuller and richer experience with food while you’re in Australia. Leave the pizzas and Big Macs for when you get home.
BTW, University of NSW was my alma mater. The food at the Students Union wasn’t too bad nor too expensive when I was there. But I usually ate at the cheap restaurants in Randwick, Kingsford or Kensington. They cater to students.
Hope you’re not offended by my comments. You’re in one of the greatest food cities in the world and I didn’t want you to miss out while on your adventure in Australia. Try the fruits, especially the seasonal stuff. You’ll be amazed! You’ll never look at fruits the same again! Check out the outer suburbs for food as well, not just Sydney. Honestly, it’s really hard to have a bad meal in Sydney. Good luck. And good eating!
Super cool hearing you mention all the places I’m familiar with! And if it makes you feel any better, I had Thai food for lunch I just didn’t show it. It’s actually surprised me quite a bit how much of a takeaway what I ate was in this video (everyone’s mentioned it lol) and I’ve addressed it a few times. But one thing I haven’t mentioned is that food isn’t that important to me. A lot of people seem to be a huge food enthusiast and that just isn’t me. I’m someone who could, if it were possible, never have to eat or taste a thing again and I’d be content. I literally only showed what I was eating because it was part of my day but if I had known people cared so much I would have made an effort to eat at some of my favorite places and show it (but again it’s just not something important to me). This was my first time doing an actual vlog and I had to record stuff like 5 times each because I was nervous so the last thing on my mind while trying to make it everywhere on time was the food.
Carson McRae ok I got it! Pretty funny how we foodies are so obsessed! Yeah vlogging ain’t as easy as it looks. It takes real work. And many takes! Thanks for the reply.
I also noticed belatedly that you originally posted the video about a year ago! So it wasn’t going to be helpful anyway!
hello i am brasilian from manaus
Seems like lots of Americans like Australia
It’s a great place to visit!
does he has instagram?
All socials are linked
My boyfriend is American and his in Sydney Australia
I’m sure he’s loving it!
@@CarsonMcRae Yes he is and his getting used to everything here
what exactly do you do for work? and what were you studying for?
I troubleshoot issues with phones. And I am in undergrad in America (working on my bachelors), so I was just taking elective courses in my majors. At my home university I am studying Political Science and Human & Organizational Development
God bless bro. Come to my house gave you full support here, thanks
I would visit if I still live there!
How miserable is it catching ur bus then the train when it's Raining out...🤔🇦🇺
Not fun
Typically a US goose !
🇺🇸🇦🇺
My least favourite part of this video is when you put your clothes ON
Yes you do seem to eat a lot of crap!
How could you not find anywhere better to eat in Chatswood, Bondi or Bondi Junction, they're all full of places to eat.
So basically living in Australia is exactly like working in the United States....except you get an hour lunch break in the US and you'll probably have a car.
Not even close. Australians get more holidays ( annual leave and public holidays). It’s safer,cleaner,and a much higher quality of life.
7:38 looks like DB Sweeney
أكل السوسة والعافية المدسوسة😂😂
I like see in you country...
I’m from Nashville
7am wake up WTF
Haha it was not the best, especially considering I’m not a morning person
Do you really set up the camera, go back to bed and pretend to be asleep? How odd.
For older people that's how the u.s. looked like in the 80s and 70s. Very few people no immigrants and the people working the jobs were born here.
30 percent of the Australian population was born in a foreign country
@@ethansinclair7987 after 1990 before
It was almost no one, later..
@@raybon7939 sorry bro, but your going to have to be more clear about what your trying to convey to me
@@ethansinclair7987 I've provided
More than enough clarity if you can't figure
That our then not meant to understand.
A bit too much junk food or takeaway. Get some fresh stuff.
I completely agree. My lunch wasn't pictured but I did have Thai chicken and fried rice with broccoli if that makes up for the crap I had in the video. I was too busy focusing on making sure I had every shot to actually plan out food, and the original plan was to cook when I got home but I was just too tired.
Australia does have great food though, I'm just a picky eater so it isn't a priority for me.
Whats wrong with cheese Bro. Aussie cheese rocks compared to zUS crap
You're doing the same things as you would in the US. That's all the first 2 minutes showed. I've been to Perth (and a dozen other places) and getting out of bed and checking the mail box, sad.
Isn't it crazy how WORKING (the focus of the video) in two similar places, lead to the experience being similar! Love the comment man! Thanks for the view :)
@@CarsonMcRae I'm 1/2 Norwegian and started speaking Norske before English living there. Today Norwegians will say about the same thing. With me, I have a significant hearing loss from serving in the US Navy. Americans don't like me but in Australia, their accent and my not being an Australian will probably help me. Some parts of Australia are similar to Florida because it's tropical. Other parts (the Outback) are like the southwest, they live and breath at 45 degrees Celsius. But what I've heard is that the best part of dating an Australian woman is her Australian accent. That could be a game changer, eh mate? ;)
Why do people set a cam, start it, then go back to bed and pretend to just wake up ? Fucking bizarre if you ask me.
Guess I'm crazy
@@CarsonMcRae That was my assessment too.
A Day in the Life of an American taking jobs from Aussies
Hah, just kidding, there's probably 25 to a hundred times more Aussies working in America!
Ulbre De Folie don’t worry, it was just temporary!
Its "I haven't eaten breakfast yet" not "I haven't ate breakfast yet " thats past tense, that would be "I just ate breakfast" or "Just had my breakfast"
I’ve been waiting for someone to catch that. I said it wrong just to get comments
Question. Why are you wearing a T shirt and shorts to bed? Weird.
I wasn't. Needed it for the video 😀
I am excited to come to Australia.. I am from USA
