"No place is absolutely perfect, but that doesn’t mean you can’t work towards building your dream lifestyle."

Trying to decide where to live in Australia? Whether you’re choosing between Brisbane and Perth, city or regional, beachside or bush, this episode is packed with practical tips to help you find the perfect place for your new life Down Under.

Welcome to the New Life in Australia podcast

In this solo episode, Karen shares her own story of choosing where to move in Australia and walks you through the questions you need to ask to figure out which location will best suit your dream lifestyle.

In the episode, we cover:

• How to decide between cities or states (even if you’ve never visited them)
• Key factors to think about: weather, job opportunities, house prices, transport and more
• What to do when your head and your heart are saying different things
• How to weigh up lifestyle trade-offs and what really matters to you
• Why you don’t need to get it “perfect” the first time - you can always move again
