Episode Description
Living in the United States has made me more aware of the small habits I grew up with in Australia — the ones that feel completely ordinary at home, but slightly surprising elsewhere.
In this episode, I look at a handful of everyday Australian behaviours that often catch Americans off guard, from our relaxed social tone to the way sport, humour, and language shape daily life.
We’ll explore:
• The meaning behind “no worries”
• Why footy carries such cultural weight
• How Australians use “mate”
• The difference between stereotype and lived reality
It’s not about proving anything.
It’s about how habits quietly reflect national character — and how those habits stand out when you see them from a distance.
If you’ve ever noticed your own culture more clearly after leaving it, you’ll recognise the feeling.
