Hi,

​

im just wanting to hear about australian expats abroad and what their motivation to leave was?

For me the obsession with housing market and home ownership is just insane.

I know other countries are like this and particular capital cities but it just seems so engrained in the culture here. What do other people think?

The live and work to get a mortgage mentality.

    I live in Amsterdam. I just got bored of Melbourne and I prefer Europe (& Asia). I have noticed sometimes when catching up with Aussie friends I haven’t seen in years all they talk about is property - it’s a bit basic imo

      I go to Greece a couple of times a year instead of Queensland

      London or Paris instead or Sydney

      Antwerp instead of Ballarat

        Basically the same. Wanted to be able to spend the weekend in new countries. Eventually though the desire started to wear once I’d been to a few dozen places, so I moved back. Also I can’t see myself living long term in cold/rainy climates. Need vit d in my life
