I found your channel through Cam Mitchell 🙌🏼 Also in regard to meeting people on the Gold Coast, it is challenging… There is a Gym called CHANGE (it was founded by Kane and Pia Muehlenbeck) and a lot of entrepreneurial people go there. They have a lot of events and yoga classes where people can connect and network.
I live in Melbourne Australia. Don’t leave without experiencing other cities. Gold cost is a good place for holidays but Melbourne and Sydney are so vibrant and fun. Sydney has better weather than Melbourne but Melbourne gastronomy is the best!
I have been living in Melbourne Australia for last 12 years i have travelled 60 countries so far, Australia is probably the best country so far i cannot live anywhere else.

You guys seemed so much happier in Dubai. Your channel was more interesting, not because Dubai is better, but because for anyone vlogging and dealing with properties and content creation there isn't a better a place IMO. Australia is a beautiful country, but I definitely think Dubai suits you better. Los Angeles next?
I was born and grew up in Sydney, Australia. In my professional career I traveled widely and lived for extended periods in several countries. My business developed rapidly in the UK and I found that I had the opposite problem of time zones to you as I moved to the UK and had business and family/friends in Sydney. Every country I lived in had its advantages and disadvantages. Overall, I found in most countries that there was usually a way to make friends and do business and with the right attitude life could be good. Coming from Australia though you miss many intangibles when you are away. The clear skies, no crowding, a sense of fairness and ease of living. I think that its great that you are traveling with an open mind and enthusiasm. I enjoy your videos.
I think you will head to Florida in the US but what you are doing in travelling and spending a decent amount of time in these places is such a valuable experience. Something I would love to do myself.
I'm born and raised in the UAE mostly in Abu Dhabi, and moved to Brisbane a year and a half ago, I really miss the lifestyle in the UAE defo the best place to live imo. Especially business wise etc the UAE the the whole gcc region has so much growth. I expect Saudi Arabia's economy to double in the next 10 years or so from 2019 levels.
I agree ConAara same for me. I am now in sydney and the only people thinking its a big city are the one who never travel outside of australia. Europe, middleeast are 2 regions i know well and its so much better. So much more things to do than in australia...
I'm Canadian. Lived in Dubai and Australia. I lived in Sydney, Goldcoast and Melbourne. Dubai is more international and all business. Australians are more clique-ish and insular typically. Both places are expensive in terms of cost of living, real estate is much cheaper in Dubai. Australia is much slower paced. Even Sydney and Melbourne is slower than what I'm used to in Toronto. The weather and nature is best in Australia hands down. But winters are super boring there. I loved Australia, mainly because of the weather. But it's just too far to travel to frequently. Personally, for quick getaways now, I travel to Miami, Vegas and Tulum, Mexico for nice weather when I need to escape the harsh winters. But still love going to Australia every 4,5 years.
My Guesses for your USA Stay : Miami, Florida is much like Goldcoast. I loved that absolutely honest and point by point comparison of : Dubai and Goldcoast. Dubai is Loud. As in Extravagant in every sense of the Word. Goldcoast is well, as you said, Natural and Easygoing. Like you two, we made our first Goldcoast visit In August 2017, liked climate and pollution free ecology and immediately ventured to Book an Off-The-Plan Apartment at Broadbeach. In August 2022, we are coming to Goldcoast to take possession of that Apartment that would be like our Investment In Australia but also be a Holiday home and may be future Overseas place to move to. 😀
100% agree with you about the prices of cars. I even sent my car over from the UK when I emigrated over here and made a massive profit on it. Australia certainly isn't cheap to live here anymore. I've noticed a massive difference in the 15 years I've been here.
Well... Dubai is good if you are consultant - you need to be okay living indoors most of your time. There are plenty of activities but they mostly need to be done at night. Most people I know also tend to go to the same 5-10 spots. Another aspect worth mentioning is that it feels temporary. Yes, you could make friends easily, but you lose them easily also because they tend to be there on a temporary basis. It's always a positive memory looking back because that's how humans are wired, but my hunch is that that allure of Dubai diminishes rather quickly and your second visit there won't be as interesting. I've lived in a number of places around the world (including the UK, china, Germany, Jordan, Turkey, Lesotho, visited the UAE many times) and I'm currently in California, and I must say the Netherlands is the best thus far. I'd love to try Norway and Denmark at some point. Cheers
Agreed with you. Entering my 7th year in the UAE. I always choose to travel outside the country if possible. There are some good aspects about UAE for sure. But everything seems temporary.
I’ve been hoping to hear your views about life in Dubai vs Australia, this was a very informative video, thanks for the this. I’ve lived in Dubai for the best 9 years of my life, and moved this year to Canada because my husband and kids are Canadian. I tell you, it’s been very difficult adjusting to life here. The weather hasn’t helped. We have great summers here but that’s it 😂 We’re looking to move back to Dubai hopefully soon. Only real advantage is that we get to travel to the U.S since it’s so close. I’m guessing you’ll be visiting the west coast, California, Florida. Best of luck and I look forward to watching more of your adventures
But the USA is really unsafe, crime and violence. Should I move to Australia or Dubai to start my own business as well as study, or any European countries would you recommend?
I would say that I prefer Australia more. I am based in the U.K. and prefer the weather, lifestyle and natural beauty of Australia. It would be great if the both of you could travel and do a vlog in Perth and WA.
That’s a great problem to have. Dubai or Australia?! Mines do I prefer Wolverhampton or Dudley? Neither, kill me now, but wow I’d totally wanna stay in Dubai after watching your videos. It looks like so much more to do there. Love your videos guys.
Hi, I’ve lived in Dubai and Gold Coast but I’m considering moving to Wolverhampton. One of my mates from the UK said it’s a great place. Is this true or was he joking?
Living a high quality of life in Australia and travel to more exciting place.. It is more subtle compare to Europe, Dubai and such. Each places is different and you will adjust. But once you settle it is hard to beat. It is safe and if you are to have a family (children) Australia is one of the best country to be. So it depends on the stage in your life and what you are looking for. Go try them and find out. All the best : )
I am living in Dubai for over 10 years now and soon planning to move to Australia. Your video was very helpful and convincing as i was not very much convinced about moving to another country after having spent so many years here in Dubai
Love watching you guys! We from South Africa, moved to Australia 15 years ago, on the Gold Coast for 6 years, lived in Dubai for a year too and traveled there 10 times over the last 20 years, currently in the stages of setting up an Office in Dubai as my main hub and deciding whether to move the family to Dubai for 5-10 years....so found you guys in December last year and have thoroughly enjoyed watching your experiences, outings and evaluations! Look forward to meeting up with you two, I literally cycle past your building every week on the way to Marina Mirage!
Man i love dubai, funny you guys seem to have lived my life. Lived half my life in Dubai and now living in Australia Melbourne. I 100% agree with your points :)
14:22 AGREED, if it's vacation, no one should really spend more than a week in Duba... IT'S FUN but it can get repetitive. If it's business, then 3 months tops.
You'll be getting to 40C+ on the Gold Coast and Brisbane in Summer :). It's not much different to Dubai except the level of humidity maybe. Melbourne and Sydney get over 40C as well, as does Perth. High 30's C is the norm, but unlike the desert climates it doesn't always cool down in the evening and can be really hot and humid overnight.
Hope you get a chance to visit New Zealand while you're in this part of the world. I'm looking to move to Dubai. Time zone is definitely a big consideration. I did like living in London when I was pre-kids as well. I do love the Gold Coast. For the US, Florida / Miami IMHO, very much like the Gold Coast. I like so many parts of the US though, it's hard to choose, every state is so different and unique. Have fun, love watching your videos.
I visited Dubai once and it was amazing! I loved your videos there because I could learn much more to use whenever I visit Dubai again. I want to visit Australia one day but it's a bit more complicated to me. And I still want to visit other places like Greece, Turkey, Japan, South Korea... the world is huge but my bank account is not 😅
Just a tip The weather in qld is awesome all year round however you might find summer time a bit much as the humidity can be bad, Western Australia is better in summer as it’s a dry heat
Come to SWF south west flordia! Eastern time zone is great for markets and Flordia is the fastest growing state in the US. Gulf coast for living and east coast for partying! Don't live full time in Miami, check Tampa first!
I am from Poland, but I live in Boston and together with my hubby we are planning on moving to Dubai in a year or two. Thank you for all your content from Dubai, it was really helpful! Especially that it is post pandemic, therefore more accurate then other videos👌🏼 My guess is you will move to LA! But wherever you go, you will love the mix of big cities and nature (many great hikes). Cheers! ❤
Your energy appears more subdued in Australia. Dubai gave you much more lively outgoing attitudes. Finding your niche is what you seem to be looking for. Keep searching…and enjoy the journey along the way. Looking forward to seeing you in the US…I believe California Dreamin’ would suit your lifestyle best. Great Content for those of us you have brought along on this journey of yours…
I miss Dubai. I tend not to watch Australia because it’s not really a place I want to visit. America is a place I would go to again. I believe Florida is a place you would go or LA and possibly California.
I lived in Seattle for 8 years which has great summer weather and many things to do outdoors but I’m guessing Miami for you guys. Back up guesses are Phoenix, LA, Vegas or somewhere in Texas.
11:08 my opinion, where you guys are now in life personally & professionally.... Dubai is best. Then another 10years, can go to Australia. It won't affect it drastically, but the time difference WILL slow down how much you guys can get done professionally vs being in Dubai/UAE. You learning Spanish, maybe Spain or Central/South America is your next destination?
Lived in Dubai for 8 yrs and am currently in the US, getting my American citizenship next year, and Can't wait to go back to Dubai and as I am bored to Death here in America, to be honest.
I had lived in Australia for an year and half and I am going to work in Dubai soon!! It is really good to watch your video because you guys have experience of both country!! Finger cross for your journey !!
12:45 i was thinking that, but do South/Central America first, and then go to the States. Can set up a business, same type in the US also, set up residency, send your money to Dubai. My suggestion, stay nowhere for more than 3 months. Do 5.5 months first (especially US, once you there 6 months you gotta pay tax) to get to know the place, then return to each place for 3 months. Do that for 5 years straight. Indonesia/Thailand is interesting also.
Definitely California would be perfect for a in between Dubai and Australia, with big city like LA where shopping and lifestyle are present but still with some amazing place to live with beach like San Diego, Orange County,… + some hiking spot like palm spring are amazing too… USA West Coast is next level
@@Skybar23 I am so glad there are people like you, that keep commenting like this. I have lived in California my entire life and wouldn't live anywhere else. We have 40 million people, compared to Australia's 25 million. All jammed in an area smaller than Australia's smallest state. So keep talking like that and keep people the F out of here!
@@gracedagostino5231 glad to do that. Don't Want anyone living in a place where the average American can't afford the sky rocket house prices in Cali while homeless shanty towns are set up few blocks away.
@@Skybar23 lol, well I go several weeks without seeing a homeless person in my LA suburb. I saw plenty of homeless in both Sydney and Melbourne. I think as Australia's economy goes down in next few years you will see more.
@@gracedagostino5231 thats cos you live in an area where the average american couldnt afford to live in. There are homeless people in Australia..but we give them shelter so they dont camp out in tents and build drug infested make shift shanty towns out in the street, tourist beaches like they do in Cali.
Bit too early to compare at this stage as you guys only lived in Gold Coast which is a small city. Come down to Sydney, it will feel more like Dubai but without the extreme hot weather, it is an international city with a bigger population so has amazing endless restaurants to try, many activities, and networking. To chill out from the hectic fast pace life and traffic jams you have the world famous harbour and the beaches, and also the wildlife and the many national parks within the city and surrounds such as the world heritage listed Blue Mountains. Enjoy a day trip short drive north or south are the beautiful coastal cities of Newcastle, Central Coast and Wollongong. Sydney doesn't snow, but only a few hrs drive from Sydney is the Snowy Mountains and ski resorts with abundant snow, how crazy is that! Australia is such a big place with different contrasts, in the centre is Alice Springs and tourist spot Ayres rock which is very hot all year round and desert like Dubai, and up north we have smaller cities such as Cairns, one can dive in the famous Great Barrier Reef, the weather there is tropical warm all year around. And down south we have cities which gets snow in winter.
Fellow Brit here! I have lived in Sydney and Central Coast NSW. I now live on Adelaide.. On the beach, 15 from city, 15 from Adelaide Hills etc. Adelaide doesn't get a good enough rep it's beautiful here. I do miss home though!!
Matt and Summer, if you have the time and inclination during your time on the Gold Coast would hope to see you travel south to Sydney for several days. Would love to have your take on this great city. It would be an interesting contrast to life on the Gold Coast.
For two beach bugs like yourselves - i can only imagine you guys in Californian coast or Florida coast. - Although US coastline both sides (east-west) is gorgeous throughout but you guys went from Spain to Dubai to Gold Coast so hence my reasoning.
I live in the US in Florida. Dubai being a bigger city will offer more. You also will have more transplants so easier to make friends. Australia is beautiful, and just a different vibe than Dubai. Same here in the US, New York is not Los Angeles and Miami is not Boston. Or New Orleans which I find to be super friendly is not Las Vegas. My guess for u guys in USA will be somewhere in California since Matt talked about natural beauty and the West Coast is impressive for that.
I'm glad you did this video, as I was wondering what you (dis)liked about each country. Also great to know you're learning Spanish - I started during the 1st lockdown. Me encantan tus videos...gracias! 😊
Hi, Guys-Really enjoyed the video. What microphone are you using because it is very clear and crisp and do you have a special camera or just your mobiles? Thanks
I think I can detect a subtle change in you two... You're starting to detox your skin, lungs, and bodies and you're learning to chill like the whales and dolphins in that sparkling, cleaner environment Down Under. Why would you EVER want to leave that dream location? As for meeting people, with your experience Matt, why don't you volunteer to do a shift as a lifesaver, get to share experiences with the locals, and do a vlog about it?
You completely missed the issue of taxes. Australia is essentially the most taxed country on earth. If you are a low income earner then Aus is far better, but if you have a high net worth it is far better to base yourself in Dubai and then visit Australia.
An interesting and thoughtful clip. Much depends on what you want out of life, and that changes over the years. Your current main attention seems to be the continued development of a thriving business. That's possible in many places, but to do it at an elite level is easier in places like the USA and Dubai as they are optimised for high level success. Australia and New Zealand are not; they are more optimised for people in general to have a moderate, good and satisfying life. The example you give of being able to get good quality food at virtually any grocery store is part of that. If you plan to have a family at some stage, however, they might be better choices. After a family has grown up, the preferred options can change again. The time difference issue is quite real, although that might change as your UK business grows and becomes less in need of close management and direction. If your business was oriented more to the Indo-Pacific, the reverse might be true; although I suspect that is not what you anticipate. Nevertheless, Oz and NZ are great places to visit regularly, and that might become their chief attraction for you. This is a bit out of left field; but I'd be cautious about expecting the globalised world we've experienced for several decades to persist. There's a lot of signs of it breaking back into blocs and recreating an international scene more like the multi-polar world of the late 19th and early 20th century. That means business and particularly marketing may become more feasible in places which have their own large internal consumer base. The USA seems to be heading back to that, and might swing your choices more in that direction, or somewhere nearby like the Bahamas.
when i saw you guys were moving to Australia...i was speechless. Why? why leave Dubai...a place of opportunity, endless fun and no tax?? hope you guys move back to dubai
13:13 it better be Miami, Florida!! If not, then it's California, not a fan of their taxes there and to set up a business costs a lot more. Florida is perfect for non-citizen business set up, I've done that, things going great. I started watching you guys because of your Dubai company set up, because that is my next step.
Much prefer Australia Dubai is far too manufactured and some of the laws in Dubai belong in the 1950’s and for me the natural beauty of Australia and the different cities from deserts to snow fields outstrips Dubai easily.
Thanks for sharing guys you both are looking good . I been to Dubai and really liked it. Where in Australia are you staying .Have you thought about living in Canada.
You’ll definitely be moving to LA if you move to USA. However, I’d recommend San Diego. I could definitely also see you moving to NYC/Chicago (because there’s all the big tall nice buildings like Dubai which you loved) but it looks like you love good weather. Based on your comments (likes/dislikes), it’s a no-brainer that you’ll be moving to California (LA in particular 🙈). If you end up moving to LA, be sure to check out all the coastal beach towns in Southern California. Hit up Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, San Clemente, Newport Beach, Long Beach…..all those hot spots in Orange County. Have a blast! Did I guess right?
Going back to Australia from Dubai is the closest we will get to time travel. We are too far behind in comparison to Dubai. So many move to the GC from Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne but the the GC is a ghost town after 7pm. If you don’t drink or like dining out every night then there is absolutely nothing to do. Sorry but Australia has absolutely nothing on this place. A lot of us have moved to Dubai because it makes more sense.
You enjoyed your stay in Dubai I remember you shared great videos and vlogs. I visited Dubai a couple of times during summer in April and May it was extremely hot I was mostly in my hotel room . I'm going there in November set up a business in a free zone, business friendly environment. I would love to live in Australia, beautiful country.
Please suggest , I am 40 , I have good job offer from both Sydney and Dubai with similar salary equivalent to 48K dh. I am from India. I am really confused whether to choose money or Australia. What will be better for family , Is it worth ignoring money and move to Australia for PR which has higher tax and cost of living.
Awesome vlogs and love the videos ! It’s a shame about the Timezone, if you’d gone to Western Australia it’s got a better time difference is warm and has lovely beaches better than Gold Coast beaches !
I guess you are moving to California? I moved to Dubai recently but don’t feel that people are very friendly. How can I find networking events in Dubai?
Following on: if i have to do a little Sherlock Holmes routine it would go like this: You're a young British couple who are adventurous, open minded, into healthy living, super positive and reaching for the stars (in terms of increasing quality of living/wealth). Want to try and learn new things all the time. Not afraid to push their boundaries and their comfort-zone/familiarity to achieve their dream life. Willing to travel and do the work required - as is attested by the fact you have reached the Gold Coast, via Dubai, and Spain? You also tour Expensive properties on your main channel. With all that said, i'm guessing California is where you're headed. British people are already in the Atlantic - so i'm guessing More Atlantic vibes in Florida might not be your primary desire. Also, you love the sun and sporty/healthy vegan lifestyle and Spanish language (oh - the age old British Love for all things Spanish) - so all that kinda points to California. So perhaps 'Carmel - by -the - Sea' for its European style fairytale like houses and laid back environment and serene beauty. (🤫its a secret). Or Santa Barbara - for being a lovely warm suburban town on the coast Or San Diego - for being built up citiy on the coast and for closeness to Mexico border and perhaps more of Spanish influence, as well as some serious Gold Coast vibes) Malibu - for its prime real estate and the wealth of its residents. Also consider Baja California across the Mexican border for its natural beauty - and cheaper cost of living? More untouched and off the beaten track? Also the Spanish language environment. I think it has some Middle East vibes in some of its villas and walls and Weather. But - as a final point, and to contradict myself somewhat, i'm sure Florida can offer you many of the same things mentioned above - especially if you go closer to the southern part (Miami - looks alot like Dubai and Gold-coast) nearer to Cuba for those Spanish Vibes.
13:42 I'm actually from Kingston, Jamaica. And you guys should seriously set up business in Florida. Miami is my place, but you can swing between Miami, Tampa & Orlando, especially if you will be doing a year there.
Very surprised what you say about car prices, there is not duty or tax on imported cars in Australia, so I can't understand that, A basic vehicle in Australia, let's say a Kia Rio in 2023 will set you back in US$14,000 thats the 5 door hatch basic, in Dubai the same vehicle in US$16,000 so I am not sure who gave you the prices.

Only real advantage is that we get to travel to the U.S since it’s so close. I’m guessing you’ll be visiting the west coast, California, Florida. Best of luck and I look forward to watching more of your adventures
But the USA is really unsafe, crime and violence. Should I move to Australia or Dubai to start my own business as well as study, or any European countries would you recommend?
I would say that I prefer Australia more. I am based in the U.K. and prefer the weather, lifestyle and natural beauty of Australia. It would be great if the both of you could travel and do a vlog in Perth and WA.
That’s a great problem to have. Dubai or Australia?! Mines do I prefer Wolverhampton or Dudley? Neither, kill me now, but wow I’d totally wanna stay in Dubai after watching your videos. It looks like so much more to do there. Love your videos guys.
Hi, I’ve lived in Dubai and Gold Coast but I’m considering moving to Wolverhampton. One of my mates from the UK said it’s a great place. Is this true or was he joking?
Living a high quality of life in Australia and travel to more exciting place.. It is more subtle compare to Europe, Dubai and such. Each places is different and you will adjust. But once you settle it is hard to beat. It is safe and if you are to have a family (children) Australia is one of the best country to be. So it depends on the stage in your life and what you are looking for. Go try them and find out. All the best : )
I’m moving to Dubai from Ireland next week. I’m nervous but excited
How is it?
I am living in Dubai for over 10 years now and soon planning to move to Australia. Your video was very helpful and convincing as i was not very much convinced about moving to another country after having spent so many years here in Dubai
Money: What about tax? It‘s such a big factor when comparing UAE and AUS (even if you haven‘t been residents - it still matters to many)
Love watching you guys! We from South Africa, moved to Australia 15 years ago, on the Gold Coast for 6 years, lived in Dubai for a year too and traveled there 10 times over the last 20 years, currently in the stages of setting up an Office in Dubai as my main hub and deciding whether to move the family to Dubai for 5-10 years....so found you guys in December last year and have thoroughly enjoyed watching your experiences, outings and evaluations! Look forward to meeting up with you two, I literally cycle past your building every week on the way to Marina Mirage!
Man i love dubai, funny you guys seem to have lived my life. Lived half my life in Dubai and now living in Australia Melbourne. I 100% agree with your points :)
14:22 AGREED, if it's vacation, no one should really spend more than a week in Duba... IT'S FUN but it can get repetitive. If it's business, then 3 months tops.
You'll be getting to 40C+ on the Gold Coast and Brisbane in Summer :). It's not much different to Dubai except the level of humidity maybe. Melbourne and Sydney get over 40C as well, as does Perth. High 30's C is the norm, but unlike the desert climates it doesn't always cool down in the evening and can be really hot and humid overnight.
@Gabriel wrong ! Michael is correct perth gets 2-3 weeks of 38 degrees in the summer
@Gabriel they were referencing Australia as a whole .
1. L.A
2. Miami
3 Las Vegas
Hope you get a chance to visit New Zealand while you're in this part of the world. I'm looking to move to Dubai. Time zone is definitely a big consideration. I did like living in London when I was pre-kids as well. I do love the Gold Coast. For the US, Florida / Miami IMHO, very much like the Gold Coast. I like so many parts of the US though, it's hard to choose, every state is so different and unique. Have fun, love watching your videos.
I visited Dubai once and it was amazing! I loved your videos there because I could learn much more to use whenever I visit Dubai again. I want to visit Australia one day but it's a bit more complicated to me. And I still want to visit other places like Greece, Turkey, Japan, South Korea... the world is huge but my bank account is not 😅
Just a tip The weather in qld is awesome all year round however you might find summer time a bit much as the humidity can be bad, Western Australia is better in summer as it’s a dry heat
Come to SWF south west flordia! Eastern time zone is great for markets and Flordia is the fastest growing state in the US. Gulf coast for living and east coast for partying! Don't live full time in Miami, check Tampa first!
Gold Coast is just holiday city. U need to get to Sydney or melbourne to see true cosmopolitan Australia
I am from Poland, but I live in Boston and together with my hubby we are planning on moving to Dubai in a year or two. Thank you for all your content from Dubai, it was really helpful! Especially that it is post pandemic, therefore more accurate then other videos👌🏼
My guess is you will move to LA!
But wherever you go, you will love the mix of big cities and nature (many great hikes).
Cheers! ❤
The usa is really unsafe though. You might get killed tomorrow
Your energy appears more subdued in Australia. Dubai gave you much more lively outgoing attitudes. Finding your niche is what you seem to be looking for. Keep searching…and enjoy the journey along the way. Looking forward to seeing you in the US…I believe California Dreamin’ would suit your lifestyle best. Great Content for those of us you have brought along on this journey of yours…
I miss Dubai. I tend not to watch Australia because it’s not really a place I want to visit. America is a place I would go to again. I believe Florida is a place you would go or LA and possibly California.
I lived in Seattle for 8 years which has great summer weather and many things to do outdoors but I’m guessing Miami for you guys. Back up guesses are Phoenix, LA, Vegas or somewhere in Texas.
11:08 my opinion, where you guys are now in life personally & professionally.... Dubai is best. Then another 10years, can go to Australia. It won't affect it drastically, but the time difference WILL slow down how much you guys can get done professionally vs being in Dubai/UAE. You learning Spanish, maybe Spain or Central/South America is your next destination?
Lived in Dubai for 8 yrs and am currently in the US, getting my American citizenship next year, and Can't wait to go back to Dubai and as I am bored to Death here in America, to be honest.
I had lived in Australia for an year and half and I am going to work in Dubai soon!!
It is really good to watch your video because you guys have experience of both country!!
Finger cross for your journey !!
How do you like Dubai ?
Loved your video! Born in Calcutta, lived 6.5 years in Ireland, then 16 years in the UK, briefly in Canada and for the past 1 year in Dubai Marina!
12:45 i was thinking that, but do South/Central America first, and then go to the States. Can set up a business, same type in the US also, set up residency, send your money to Dubai. My suggestion, stay nowhere for more than 3 months. Do 5.5 months first (especially US, once you there 6 months you gotta pay tax) to get to know the place, then return to each place for 3 months. Do that for 5 years straight. Indonesia/Thailand is interesting also.
Definitely California would be perfect for a in between Dubai and Australia, with big city like LA where shopping and lifestyle are present but still with some amazing place to live with beach like San Diego, Orange County,… + some hiking spot like palm spring are amazing too… USA West Coast is next level
just avoid San Francisco and Cali. The amount of homeless people they have is shocking. Its all on you tube to see in in places like Long Beach
@@Skybar23 I am so glad there are people like you, that keep commenting like this. I have lived in California my entire life and wouldn't live anywhere else. We have 40 million people, compared to Australia's 25 million. All jammed in an area smaller than Australia's smallest state. So keep talking like that and keep people the F out of here!
@@gracedagostino5231 glad to do that. Don't Want anyone living in a place where the average American can't afford the sky rocket house prices in Cali while homeless shanty towns are set up few blocks away.
@@Skybar23 lol, well I go several weeks without seeing a homeless person in my LA suburb. I saw plenty of homeless in both Sydney and Melbourne. I think as Australia's economy goes down in next few years you will see more.
@@gracedagostino5231 thats cos you live in an area where the average american couldnt afford to live in. There are homeless people in Australia..but we give them shelter so they dont camp out in tents and build drug infested make shift shanty towns out in the street, tourist beaches like they do in Cali.
Dubai is an new city I think in the next 20 years dubai will be the best, 2040 plan dubai will add walk ability and greenery
Bit too early to compare at this stage as you guys only lived in Gold Coast which is a small city. Come down to Sydney, it will feel more like Dubai but without the extreme hot weather, it is an international city with a bigger population so has amazing endless restaurants to try, many activities, and networking. To chill out from the hectic fast pace life and traffic jams you have the world famous harbour and the beaches, and also the wildlife and the many national parks within the city and surrounds such as the world heritage listed Blue Mountains. Enjoy a day trip short drive north or south are the beautiful coastal cities of Newcastle, Central Coast and Wollongong. Sydney doesn't snow, but only a few hrs drive from Sydney is the Snowy Mountains and ski resorts with abundant snow, how crazy is that! Australia is such a big place with different contrasts, in the centre is Alice Springs and tourist spot Ayres rock which is very hot all year round and desert like Dubai, and up north we have smaller cities such as Cairns, one can dive in the famous Great Barrier Reef, the weather there is tropical warm all year around. And down south we have cities which gets snow in winter.
Sydney is not more like Dubai at all. everything shuts early. Boring place. im moving to Dubai early next yr. Cant wait to leave Australia.
Fellow Brit here!
I have lived in Sydney and Central Coast NSW.
I now live on Adelaide.. On the beach, 15 from city, 15 from Adelaide Hills etc.
Adelaide doesn't get a good enough rep it's beautiful here.
I do miss home though!!
Where are you guys planning to settle in future? US,Aus or go back to UK
I am living in Dubai for work, I have relatives here but originally I am a US citizen so I am still looking at retiring there.
Been bingeing your Content lately.. love it!
aw thankyou!
Matt and Summer, if you have the time and inclination during your time on the Gold Coast would hope to see you travel south to Sydney for several days. Would love to have your take on this great city. It would be an interesting contrast to life on the Gold Coast.
We'd love too! Planning on a trip to Sydney soon :)
For two beach bugs like yourselves - i can only imagine you guys in Californian coast or Florida coast. - Although US coastline both sides (east-west) is gorgeous throughout but you guys went from Spain to Dubai to Gold Coast so hence my reasoning.
U guys are amazing...u put in so much efforts
Lovely vlogs 💖
I live in the US in Florida. Dubai being a bigger city will offer more. You also will have more transplants so easier to make friends. Australia is beautiful, and just a different vibe than Dubai. Same here in the US, New York is not Los Angeles and Miami is not Boston. Or New Orleans which I find to be super friendly is not Las Vegas. My guess for u guys in USA will be somewhere in California since Matt talked about natural beauty and the West Coast is impressive for that.
Great video guys, please post more about different cities like Melbourne, Perth and which one is better to live in. Thanks!
Loved the Dubai vlogs so much!
Probably Miami/Florida, Los Angeles/California next?
No comparison!, you can’t beat natural beauty, sandy beaches, fresh air compared to sand storms,unbearable heat , soulless city
It seems like you have never been in Dubai... and to live or visit the world you need to open your mind and your heart.
@@OffTom5783 I have been to Dubai, but no thanks, it’s all yours to enjoy
Australia and Dubai are relatively safe but Miami is quite scary place. Especially summer needs to be careful. Kidnapping and killing happens a lot
I'm glad you did this video, as I was wondering what you (dis)liked about each country. Also great to know you're learning Spanish - I started during the 1st lockdown. Me encantan tus videos...gracias! 😊
Hi, Guys-Really enjoyed the video. What microphone are you using because it is very clear and crisp and do you have a special camera or just your mobiles? Thanks
I have been in australia in 14 years and I traveled too dubai and it was pretty good but I picked australia
8:54 to ship cars, parts etc cost a lot, so prices would be higher for sure.
Since you had bank visits in Farajaih and Sharjah, what have you heard about the flooding there last week??!!!
Love your vlogs. Subscribed due to your vlogs in Dubai. Please go back there as the vlogs were next level 💯
I think I can detect a subtle change in you two... You're starting to detox your skin, lungs, and bodies and you're learning to chill like the whales and dolphins in that sparkling, cleaner environment Down Under.
Why would you EVER want to leave that dream location?
As for meeting people, with your experience Matt, why don't you volunteer to do a shift as a lifesaver, get to share experiences with the locals, and do a vlog about it?
You completely missed the issue of taxes. Australia is essentially the most taxed country on earth. If you are a low income earner then Aus is far better, but if you have a high net worth it is far better to base yourself in Dubai and then visit Australia.
An interesting and thoughtful clip. Much depends on what you want out of life, and that changes over the years. Your current main attention seems to be the continued development of a thriving business. That's possible in many places, but to do it at an elite level is easier in places like the USA and Dubai as they are optimised for high level success.
Australia and New Zealand are not; they are more optimised for people in general to have a moderate, good and satisfying life. The example you give of being able to get good quality food at virtually any grocery store is part of that. If you plan to have a family at some stage, however, they might be better choices. After a family has grown up, the preferred options can change again.
The time difference issue is quite real, although that might change as your UK business grows and becomes less in need of close management and direction. If your business was oriented more to the Indo-Pacific, the reverse might be true; although I suspect that is not what you anticipate. Nevertheless, Oz and NZ are great places to visit regularly, and that might become their chief attraction for you.
This is a bit out of left field; but I'd be cautious about expecting the globalised world we've experienced for several decades to persist. There's a lot of signs of it breaking back into blocs and recreating an international scene more like the multi-polar world of the late 19th and early 20th century. That means business and particularly marketing may become more feasible in places which have their own large internal consumer base. The USA seems to be heading back to that, and might swing your choices more in that direction, or somewhere nearby like the Bahamas.
I gotta say, I definitely preferred the Dubai vlogs. Australia just doesn’t do it for me personally
when i saw you guys were moving to Australia...i was speechless. Why? why leave Dubai...a place of opportunity, endless fun and no tax?? hope you guys move back to dubai
I am looking forward to the mandatory visit to DXB to keep your residency valid. Honestly, enjoyed the DXB vlogs more….
13:13 it better be Miami, Florida!! If not, then it's California, not a fan of their taxes there and to set up a business costs a lot more. Florida is perfect for non-citizen business set up, I've done that, things going great. I started watching you guys because of your Dubai company set up, because that is my next step.
Honestly: 6 or 4 months of "exploring" do not qualify as "living" in a foreign country from my point of view.
After a quick trip to Vegas. You should goto Austin Texas in the USA imo. Miami is way overrated.
Much prefer Australia Dubai is far too manufactured and some of the laws in Dubai belong in the 1950’s and for me the natural beauty of Australia and the different cities from deserts to snow fields outstrips Dubai easily.
I reckon u are going Miami!!. I loved the Dubai vlogs, great video keep it up always love the content !!
Thanks for sharing guys you both are looking good . I been to Dubai and really liked it. Where in Australia are you staying .Have you thought about living in Canada.
My guess for America is Miami, New York, Chicago, or San Francisco
You’ll definitely be moving to LA if you move to USA. However, I’d recommend San Diego. I could definitely also see you moving to NYC/Chicago (because there’s all the big tall nice buildings like Dubai which you loved) but it looks like you love good weather.
Based on your comments (likes/dislikes), it’s a no-brainer that you’ll be moving to California (LA in particular 🙈).
If you end up moving to LA, be sure to check out all the coastal beach towns in Southern California. Hit up Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, San Clemente, Newport Beach, Long Beach…..all those hot spots in Orange County. Have a blast!
Did I guess right?
Your lifestyle is so amazing! Can you share how you financially make this work?
Going back to Australia from Dubai is the closest we will get to time travel. We are too far behind in comparison to Dubai. So many move to the GC from Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne but the the GC is a ghost town after 7pm. If you don’t drink or like dining out every night then there is absolutely nothing to do. Sorry but Australia has absolutely nothing on this place. A lot of us have moved to Dubai because it makes more sense.
We live in England my son and his family live in oz. So we’re regular visitors 😎👍🏻
You enjoyed your stay in Dubai I remember you shared great videos and vlogs. I visited Dubai a couple of times during summer in April and May it was extremely hot I was mostly in my hotel room . I'm going there in November set up a business in a free zone, business friendly environment. I would love to live in Australia, beautiful country.
See you than 😉
Please suggest , I am 40 , I have good job offer from both Sydney and Dubai with similar salary equivalent to 48K dh. I am from India. I am really confused whether to choose money or Australia. What will be better for family , Is it worth ignoring money and move to Australia for PR which has higher tax and cost of living.
It looks you are talking to each other. Please elaborate clearly and point to point.
Awesome vlogs and love the videos ! It’s a shame about the Timezone, if you’d gone to Western Australia it’s got a better time difference is warm and has lovely beaches better than Gold Coast beaches !
I guess you are moving to California?
I moved to Dubai recently but don’t feel that people are very friendly. How can I find networking events in Dubai?
I think you’re slightly picking up the Australian twang
While Dubai is exotic, that is the best thing I can say about it, Australia is just more liveable.
There's 0 tax in Dubai let's not forget that + the way they dealt with covid was signiciantly better than Australia. Two very important points imo.
True!
Following on: if i have to do a little Sherlock Holmes routine it would go like this:
You're a young British couple who are adventurous, open minded, into healthy living, super positive and reaching for the stars (in terms of increasing quality of living/wealth). Want to try and learn new things all the time. Not afraid to push their boundaries and their comfort-zone/familiarity to achieve their dream life. Willing to travel and do the work required - as is attested by the fact you have reached the Gold Coast, via Dubai, and Spain? You also tour Expensive properties on your main channel.
With all that said, i'm guessing California is where you're headed. British people are already in the Atlantic - so i'm guessing More Atlantic vibes in Florida might not be your primary desire. Also, you love the sun and sporty/healthy vegan lifestyle and Spanish language (oh - the age old British Love for all things Spanish) - so all that kinda points to California.
So perhaps 'Carmel - by -the - Sea' for its European style fairytale like houses and laid back environment and serene beauty. (🤫its a secret).
Or Santa Barbara - for being a lovely warm suburban town on the coast
Or San Diego - for being built up citiy on the coast and for closeness to Mexico border and perhaps more of Spanish influence, as well as some serious Gold Coast vibes)
Malibu - for its prime real estate and the wealth of its residents.
Also consider Baja California across the Mexican border for its natural beauty - and cheaper cost of living? More untouched and off the beaten track? Also the Spanish language environment. I think it has some Middle East vibes in some of its villas and walls and Weather.
But - as a final point, and to contradict myself somewhat, i'm sure Florida can offer you many of the same things mentioned above - especially if you go closer to the southern part (Miami - looks alot like Dubai and Gold-coast) nearer to Cuba for those Spanish Vibes.
we are in Dubai for 8 years, getting an oppur to work and live in Sydney ... what would you recommend ... should go for it ?
I love Australia but what is wrong with England
Dubai for career growth.
Australia if you want to take it easy.
Definitely miss the dubai vlogs
13:42 I'm actually from Kingston, Jamaica. And you guys should seriously set up business in Florida. Miami is my place, but you can swing between Miami, Tampa & Orlando, especially if you will be doing a year there.
My guess for US will be either California or Florida
Very surprised what you say about car prices, there is not duty or tax on imported cars in Australia, so I can't understand that, A basic vehicle in Australia, let's say a Kia Rio in 2023 will set you back in US$14,000 thats the 5 door hatch basic, in Dubai the same vehicle in US$16,000 so I am not sure who gave you the prices.
What about medical costs, if you are ill?
Weather in uk has been awesome for 3 weeks or do. We hit a 40.
All of America is very different... I'd suggest San Diego or NYC or travel the whole country in a van 😊
Dubai is a city that suits best for people with own businesses, entrepreneurs and quality of income.
