What's It Like Being an Aussie in the US?

Send us Fan MailMoving from Australia to the United States isn’t just a change of address — it’s a shift in rhythm, language, and everyday assumptions.In this episode, I reflect on what it’s actually like to live as an Australian in America: the moments of culture shock, the small misunderstandings, and the things that quietly reshape your sense of home.We’ll look at:• The cultural adjustments that take time • Everyday habits that still catch me off guard • How Americans respond to an Australian accent • The foods I miss — and the ones I’ve grown to appreciate • And the occasional misunderstanding that comes with shared languageLiving abroad has a way of sharpening your perspective. You start to notice details you once took for granted, and you see your own culture more clearly from a distance.It’s not all dramatic.Most of it lives in the small, everyday exchanges that slowly redefine what feels familiar.If you’ve ever lived overseas — or considered it — you’ll likely recognise parts of this journey.Support the channel:☕ Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/fromdownundertodownsouth🌏 Website: https://fromdownundertodownsouth.com📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FromDownUndertoDownSouth📷 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100068568677919🐦 X: https://x.com/aussiemika74📩 Business enquiries & collaborations: [email protected] for watching. Hoo roo maties.Support the showCheck out additional content on our YouTube page!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjipgN51kc8swHyKeSx2tzw
