    I extend sincere thanks to CJ Explores for their thorough exploration of Australia, covering its cities, beaches, and outback.
    Visiting New Zealand and Australia has been a dream tourism destination for me for a long time.
    I suggest incorporating street food experiences and interactions with locals and expats into your vlogs.

    I’m very surprised you decided to make the Gold Coast your home and not somewhere a bit quieter. I suppose because it’s quite central to everything there. I know you absolutely loved WA but it’s a long way from everything. Welcome back you guys!! 😁👍🇦🇺

    Loved this walking tour around GC area, looks very family friendly and my dog would love it!(definitely get a dog 🐶 🤩) Agree the Creek is very picturesque.. you should both purchase a bicycle.. great way to get about and looks like a lot of flat accessible areas & great way to keep fit!

    Hey guys, can I ask why you decided Gold Coast over Perth? We are thinking of moving to either Perth or Gold Coast but very torn between the two. Could you compare them? Love your videos.

      @@KenzoTenmaM hi Dr Kenzo 👋🏼 of course. Perth is fantastic as well. It’s located on the river not quite on the coast, a little bit like Brisbane. Except the beaches near Perth are much nicer! Gold Coast has much more infrastructure than Perth I would say, it’s been established for a longer time and is really well developed. You will certainly get more bang for your buck over in Perth in terms of house prices - that’s whether you’re buying or renting. If that doesn’t concern you and you want a busier lifestyle then Gold Coast would certainly work for you. If you like things a little bit quieter, want to save some money and don’t mind being more than a few hours flight away from the nearest major city then Perth could be the pick! Hope this helps!

    Thank you for your very informative videos! I'm thinking of studying in Gold Coast, do you know if we can afford to live there with only a part time job? Approximately how much money should we earn to live on?

    • @cjexplores
      @cjexplores  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Hi Sophie 👋🏼 there’s a lot of great Facebook groups which can help you find rooms/houses/apartments to live in on the Gold Coast. There you will get an idea of the current rental prices. A room in a shared house is obviously the cheapest way to go and you could find yourself living with other students in an area close to your uni of choice.
      In terms of money, I think you could get by on a part time job. I certainly did when I was living in Brisbane when I first moved here. The wages in Australia are very good and they pay extra for night time and weekend work.
      If you want to make it happen I’m sure you can Sophie!!
