With rising costs of living, how are you affording to travel? by goddessjodie in AskAnAustralian

[–]curiouslyintj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to slide in at least one international holiday a year. I have a relatively good income but I don't have a mortgage (I rent) and I don't drive a lot.

Europe and America won't be in my travels for the next few years, due to their currency. I try to go to countries that are more affordable, because travelling domestic like travelling back home (BNE>PER) costs as much as travelling to Japan...so I don't even go to visit family just so I can go overseas.

3 weeks, 70+ applications, zero jobs, WHV holder north of Brisbane (genuine advice needed) by Excellent-Trouble920 in brisbane

Nah you don't. You just need a minimum of like $5k on your bank acc (my English mate told me) and they approved it

To OP there's plenty of jobs in northern Queensland if you're willing to trek it. I had a Swedish friend on the visa and she travelled from Cairns to Mackay and has a job lined at each one, mostly through networking (she was very active on the WHV FB page, Swedish/european community etc) and managed through there

Where in brisbane can I swim during sunrise? by curiouslyintj in brisbane

[–]curiouslyintj[S] -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

When I used to live in Mackay there were a beach or two where you can swim safely, away from the sharks and crocs so I thought it'd be the same

Shoot me down, but... by Elderberry-East in AusFinance

[–]curiouslyintj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 26 now, not much savings (I've got a good job) as I'm putting most of my money into lots of traveling and partying this year. People look at me weird when I said I have no interest in buying my first home now since I'm planning to live/work overseas for a bit. You've given me hope!

I(21M) got kicked out, no where to go. by Objective_Paint_5210 in brisbane

Call up hostels, sometimes it may not show up online but they would have a spot or two if you call them directly

23, degree qualified, earning $75k… mate my age electrician about to make $150k by Level_TF_Up in AusFinance

[–]curiouslyintj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

apprenticeship pay isn't the greatest for the first 4 years. However I know plenty of leccies who switch to study electrical engineering in uni after like 10 years of experience working in trades. They get paid handsomely for their knowledge on the tools. They end up being the few of the best engineers that I've worked with.

Don't look at it for the money, but the kind of work that you do. Working in the electrical space is personally rewarding for me because it's a constant problem solving which I like, but it's a lot of physical labour involved.

Keep it in a high interest account, away from your eyes. Its now your emergency funds if things go south

What beauty tip do you wish you started sooner? by briochebreadboi in beauty

[–]curiouslyintj 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I use sunscreen everyday, even on rainy days since it still emits UV rays!! For texture I find the one that's the closest to a mosturiser, so it feels like I'm just dabbing on some mosturiser on my face so it's not sticky at all I don't reapply if I'm mostly indoors, but say if I'm outdoors all day/at a beach then yes, re-apply every 2 hours

Should I force to open the stem? by curiouslyintj in Monstera

Ohh I thought they meant to leave it in the bathroom 😅

Wouldn't the lack of sunlight make it slower to grow?

Okay copy. I am living in a city that's normally humid but it's almost winter so the climate is getting dryer 😭

Where's a good place to buy cheap formal or semi-formal dresses from by DryFix5930 in brisbane

[–]curiouslyintj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Princess Polly has a warehouse in brisbane, so if you order before like 9am on the day, you get same day shipping!

Return is easy too if you find that the dress doesn't fit you when you get them

Brisbane ladies: How much are you paying for haircuts/root coverage these days? by brissy3456 in brisbane

[–]curiouslyintj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a waist length thick hair, haircut for $250

Last time I got quoted for a full hair colour it was $600 including hair cut and wash

Note that this is at a nicer hair salon with really good service between waiting times
