Australian moving to England
I am a 22 year old from Melbourne. I went to England last year to visit family(in London and Fleet, Hampshire). And also this January. When I was there this year I totally loved the place, but still I thought 'it is only a holiday' . Now after coming back Ive decided I can not be happy back here atm . Its like some kind of power, destiny is pushing me to go to England.
So I am going to go in the next month or 2. Most probably to Fleet, or around that area... Guildford, Aldershot, Farnborough, maybe Slough or Reading.
I feel so comfortable here, living at home. But I can not forget England, so I have to go... even that I know that I will have to do any job(I am hoping to be a plumbers labourer, or for a plasterer or roofer... or Hotel porter, hopefully) and live anywhere(ummm max 70quid pw house share, lol).
Any recommendations???
PS: oh, its all fallen into place for me, because of my family I have a EU passport, so there is no problemos for me being in england and working...

Re: Australian moving to England
I'd say go for it, like the pp said you wont be alone, and its a good idea to get out of London too. I lived in Edinburgh for a couple of years and loved it, but I much prefer it now (I live in Newcastle) when there arnt nearly as many travellers around and you get a much better experience of life here.
I met my fiance here and, although we're moving back home (I'm from NZ) because we've got a toddler now, I couldnt recommend the place enough. You'll love it. Just go with the flow, and remember your on their turf now so they get first dibs on insults!

Re: Australian moving to England
Get it out of your system - there are few better places than London when you are in your 20s.
When you get to your 30s, you've been around Europe a few times, your liver is a shadow of its former self, you're sick of smoky pubs, you've finally had enough cheap charlie & you've managed to save a bit of cash & are looking to settle down maybe with kids, thats when Oz becomes more & more attractive.

What a fantastic adventure it would be for you and who knows you may want to stay for good.
Good on you for wanting to give it a go.
I wish you all the very best. Good Luck.
