Transcript of Survival guide in Australia
GETTING THERE
Get to know the rules, they are usually different from what you’re used to
Fix the paperwork first - taxes, visa, bank account, accommodation, phone
RE-INVENT YOURSELF
Try what you always wanted to
Become who you want to be
Push the boundaries and explore who you are
Don’t be afraid to be tough and go after what you want
JOIN A COMMUNITY
Subscribe to The Fetch (they are in Europe and US too)
Join local Meet-ups meetup.com
Find local TEDx, cycling group, movie club
Check out YELP, Urbanspoon for foodies
START SOMETHING
Australia has the perfect environment to start something new - the government and other communities support self-starters
Start-up scene is strong and you can get a lot of support and potential financial backing
If something works at home, try it out there it might work
TAKE EVERY DAY AS A LEARNING
OPPORTUNITY
Tough Slovak nature can survive everything and thrive in very relaxed and easy Australian society
NEVER MIND THE BULLOCKS
There are still some silly people who are racist and will comment on your heritage
Ignore
Move on
You’re better than that
BE PROUD OF WHERE YOU COME FROM
Everything European is incredibly attractive to Australians
Enjoy the attention it might turn into a business opportunity
HAVE A GREAT TIME
Besides sun, very easy lifestyle and surfing culture, Australia can be a tough place to live - you’re far from home, lifestyle is expensive and it’s hard to find friends in a new place
