I arrived here last week from New Zealand and am currently staying in the CBD area. The city is so lively, and I absolutely love the vibes! I’ve been getting around by tram, they were a bit confusing at first, but I’m sure after a few trips, anyone can figure them out. As for food, I do find it quite expensive, but there are little spots tucked away in nooks and corners where you can find reasonably priced meals. You just have to hunt a bit! Overall, I’m really happy here, though I’m still...

That was such a good trip, i was studying in an english school then traveling with my friends and we loved it so much ! It is a Little city so ne need to stay more than 1 week or 2, but there are a lot of things to do next to it since it is near the gold coast !

After I finished school I went to Australia and started working in many different places. I met so many good people and had an amazing time 🤩 I lived in my van for 14 months to save accommodation costs and I always think back on that time with big greatfullness!

Brisbane was a fun city. There for 4 days and got to experience some of the wildlife they have and explore the city. Night life is really active. People were mildly friendly. Cleanliness was not bad but not great. Food options were endless. Shopping was top tier. Prices were not great. Ubers were expensiiivvveee.

Melbourne
Pretty safe overall but be mindful of some areas in Melbourne at night, can be little chaotic (Chapel street, CBD, Yarra, Stonnington). Safest suburbs are north eastern suburbs in my opinion. But as a girl living in Melbourne I feel safe.

A quiet now that is very safe and early has any crime. The village is mostly retired people or families. There are some sketchy people and houses at the bottom of west street but they are mostly harmless.

Perth is relatively safe. The only time you might have issues is night time in North Bridge as the local crackheads can be a little aggressive. They mostly just scream at you, but it is unlikely to have an altercation.

Bilambil Heights
Bilambil heights is a very safe neighbourhood, it's up on a hill and a 10-15 minutes drive to the beach. The areas of bilambil Coolangatta and Tweed heads are generally safe, I would caution jack Evans bay in Tweed, but during the day it's very safe.

About me
Aye aye 😎 I have lived in New Zealand, Australia, England and Germany. I have traveled much of the EU, and a little bit of America and Asia. I have settled in Melbourne around 2 years ago with my partner. I had plenty of people along the way help me out while I was traveling and now think this app is a great way to pay it back.
