    For the moving, the most expensive is property purchasing, probably find a house for rental is a better idea than house purchasing first, money saving! And have to handle other stuffs e.g Furniture, home renovation / design, etc.

    This made me SO HAPPY! Hope your still having the best time out there! I'm hoping to move over Jan 2021 after all this corona shi** is over. How much time do I need to give to book my visa? Would applying in Nov be a good time? xxx

    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.
