I have been in Australia for a year now, having moved from the Netherlands, and in this video, I share the 10 main lessons I have learned from living in Australia.
Wise insights from a young man - Australia benefits from the ideas and talents and energy of its immigrants - I hope you move here permanently, because I think you would make a great contribution to Australian society and you’d make a terrific Aussie.
Tom lovely to hear your positive voice, many lessons have not been wasted on you. The most important life intention is BALANCE try try and try again not to be sucked into the religion of materialism. It is a negative soulless life. I have every hope for you. God bless ❤
Thanks so much for your amazingly positive video and I can see the joy on your face as you describe the wonderful self-discoveries and the happiness that comes from living a simple life. I also read a lot of stoicism and having done a lot of self-development, I know that personal growth comes from a state of being uncomfortable.
Thank you, for taking the time to write this. That why I make my video, I want to share the journey, of finding out how to life live. To get people together who think alike and can help each other! 🤙🏼 That’s the reason for the Sandtman community, so welcome ☀️🙏🏻
I love my home country and I am very happy that you managed to achieve so much personal growth while here. All the best with future travels and personal development !! Despite the media, the world is a lovely place if you take the right attitude with you.
I just did 3 months there, I decided to come back to the UK to continue my career but I think I want to eventually go back and live there full time. I'd just need to get my career in a position where that is possible. What did you do for work over there?
I brought my license from the Netherlands. So I am not what it takes to get a license there. I got a translation of my Dutch license and that worked fine 🤙🏼. Let me know if you have any other questions?
@@bradbriggs5347 I live in Beautiful Norwich city in the super county of Norfolk UK, the Philippines, I have been there and lived there on and off since 1987, my wife is a Pinay my son 33 is half Pinoy, none of them want to go back there, it is no coincidence that 85% of Filipinos want to leave their own country, I think that speaks volumes, it is only older desperate western men want to go there and we all know what for despite the BS they come out with, look at the crap weather there for a start with, then the non stop heat …need I go on, you think you know about the Philippines, you are just surviving there for the sake of a much younger girl, spare me the BS.
my thoughts immediately run to you must have had a bad experience. Aussies have low tolerance for superiority and also whinging and complaining. as an aussie most of my horrible life experiences have not been because of aussies but rather the 'new aussie' put in positions of power where they have no concept of the values of the aussie, fairness, justice and equity for all. while it can be distorted to appear in media that white aussies are not into it.. the reality is we are.its embedded in our psyche. as is the saying 'don't sh*te in your nest' and 'never bite the hand that feeds you'.
So profound and yet so down to earth. Australia is happy to take in inspiring people like you. Keep it up, mate.
I appreciate your kind comment, and I am grateful for Australia to have thought me these valuable lessons. I wish you the best mate ☀️🙏🏻

I look forward to hear how your journey is going 💪🏼🙏🏻
Another lesson to learn. You should have both hands on the steering wheel when you're driving the car.
Thank you, it’s true. I can be more careful 🙏🏻☀️
@@TomvanderSandt I hope that you are - at least when driving in my part of the world!
Don't know anyone who drives with both hands on the steering wheel sorry.
@@zalired8925 If they drive carelessly, there'd be very few still alive.
@@doubledee9675 How is driving with one hand careless? Unless you are already a useless driver. Teach us how to change gears with our feet please.
Great authentic video!
Thank you my friend!! I tried something new. Let’s call soon?
I love my home country and I am very happy that you managed to achieve so much personal growth while here. All the best with future travels and personal development !! Despite the media, the world is a lovely place if you take the right attitude with you.
Leuk en mooi om te zien! Groetjes van Wieteke en mij ;)
Ahhh wat leuk! Groetjes terug. Wat leuk ben je nu bij haar in frankrijk? 🇫🇷
I just did 3 months there, I decided to come back to the UK to continue my career but I think I want to eventually go back and live there full time. I'd just need to get my career in a position where that is possible. What did you do for work over there?
That’s a great idea, I think it’s a great place to make your home base.
I did work in hospitality and I help my friend out on his farm! 🌞
I hope your able to return to Aus

Wow, I really like that quote thank you for sharing! A quote I also really like is everything worth doing? Is hard 🌞🙏🏻
What are you talking about??????
❤
❤️
Btw is it hard to do the driving license there ?
I brought my license from the Netherlands. So I am not what it takes to get a license there.
I got a translation of my Dutch license and that worked fine 🤙🏼.
Let me know if you have any other questions?
@@TomvanderSandt I'm from Indonesia, how long does it last for the license? Can you use it for 3 years worth of working holiday visa ? Thanks
@@huanvincent6020I would suggest you look at how long you can have a working visa in Australia. You wouldn't be able to get one for 3 years.
Oh it’s all about himself. - very boring.
Thank for your feedback, I wanted to share what I have learned.
If you have more feedback let me know 🙏🏻
It's about his experience , you are the boar
Come on, that wasn't necessary. At least he's enjoying life. Hope you are too.
One thing I learned …DO NOT LIVE THERE…
As someone who does live in Australia, I’m interested to hear why?
I really like the early morning and out going lifestyle, but I understand that’s not every one likes the same things☀️
Why and where are you from , is it better there
