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 moved just to experience life somewhere else and just ended up loving Canada. While Canadians are still a bit obsessed with the housing market I find that it’s not the main topic of conversation constantly, especially in BC.

    People I know in Canada seem to still have hobbies and interests as they get older and don’t just talk about property and kids which is something I’ve noticed with my circle of friends in Adelaide whenever I go back.

    I still like Australia and I miss some aspects of it but overall I just love Canada and feel at home there.
