Re: wants to move to states. questions?

If I had the choice of Australia or America it would be Australia for me every time but I have spent more (seen a lot more of) time in Oz then in USA so maybe that's part of my reasons.

Re: wants to move to states. questions?

South Florida has a high cost of living but if you have experience in the hospitality industry I would think it would be easy to get a job here. Winters cannot be beat as far as the weather goes, but summer is miserable.

As long as you are healthy and can stay employed, the U.S. isn't a bad place to be. Otherwise, don't come.

I'd avoid any country that doesn't have a government at the moment.

Re: wants to move to states. questions?

If possible, why not try a visit first. I realize that the cost of travel can be very expensive, but you would learn so much about the different states and what area you'd like to live in (or not) as well as housing costs, employment opportunities etc. I live in Georgia which I find to be a great place to live. Summers are hot, but bearable and winters are mild. Lots of different places to live from Savannah down on the coast to the mountains in North Georgia. Very few restrictions as far as pets go and the cost of living is very reasonable. All that said, I strongly think a visit to the states is in order long before you make a move. Just one man;s opinion.

I agree with Jim. Find out where you'd most likely want to live and stay for as long as you can afford to visit. Visiting will change your perspective (for the better or worse) and you if you decide before you leave that you do like it, try to find a job.

Re: wants to move to states. questions?

I agree with others... avoid east and west coast. Midwest is really better for cost efficiency. Hasn't been effected as much by the economic downfalls either. You can generally make enough working one job and actually have free time. On the coasts, if you don't have a lucrative job or come from money, paying the bills requires spending most of your time working. I like the statement about being healthy and able to work... that's pretty much the key. No place is perfect and will meet your needs 100%, but for me personally, I can think of countries that provide more for the type of life I want.

Yup,

That's a great idea. That visit should be a 6 or 8 month trip that includes finding work and getting a sense from settling in. My wife tried that in the US right out on Univ and came home after 9 months once she got a feel. (Texas)

On best places to live:
I'm sure every list is different, this is just the first one on a google search I did for best places to live in the world (or something like that)

> as usual various European cities.
> 3 Canadian cities
> 4 Australian cities

I would think long and hard about why you feel like you need to move away from Australia.

Living in North America will not feel the same as a US vacation and certainly not the way it is made out to be on US TV. (1/2 the Americans here have advised you to stay there....that should be enough to keep you there)

Re: wants to move to states. questions?

Some people might disagree but urban areas are not the way to go, you might get a higher paying job but it is cramped, cost of living is higher, not as much privacy, higher crime rates, etc. Suburbia or rural areas are the way to go imho. You'll get a nicer place and it will generally be more pleasant but again this depends on your desires, opinions, budget, requirements, and every city/town/village/neighborhood/street is different. You just need to find where you fit.
