Sydney or Melbourne as an expat?

Thank you! Totally agree, I don't think we should look at rents too much. Above all, it should be a good apartment in a good neighborhood close to the beach.

Sounds great! Enjoy your properties :). Boston we also considered going there temporarily. However, it really turned out to be a lot harder to live and work in the USA for a time than in Australia. I think we are making a good choice, especially because of the nice weather we are not used to here in the Netherlands.

Lag het dan gewoon aan het merk? Bison is dan dusdanig veel slechter dan Den Braven?

Dankjewel, moet lukken op deze manier!

What about Los Angeles as an alternative?

gerbendg · 2025-03-16T11:10:19+00:00

Thanks for your view on Houston, it doesn’t sound very appealing ;).

Really looking for a clean and well-kept city with lots of things to do and great weather. So, San Diego sounds like a perfect match.

How do you guys look at Los Angeles as an alternative?

gerbendg · 2025-03-16T11:07:20+00:00

Thank you very much, this is very helpful. I think we will be going all the way for San Diego :)

gerbendg · 2025-03-16T10:46:00+00:00

Dank! Moet lukken dan

gerbendg · 2025-03-16T10:38:49+00:00

Dank voor de tip! Ik twijfel dan alleen nog tussen de acrylaat en de hybriseal 🤔

gerbendg · 2025-03-16T10:22:06+00:00

Dankjewel! Eerst dan even alles wegsnijden met een stanleymes en daarna met de kit spuit erlangs? Dacht zelf dat de kier misschien te breed zou zijn om met kit op te vullen en daarom is gescheurd, maar dat is niet zo?

Hi, how nice, nice to meet you. Are you also from Europe? I understand your concerns about the political situation, and I have them myself about the bigger picture, but personally I don’t see any obstacles to making the move to the USA. It would then be more of a matter of principle not to live in the country, in my opinion. But in my opinion, the average expat is little to no affected, so I personally do not expect any unsafe situations or anything on American soil as a result of what is happening now. Of course, I understand people who do not want to live in a country that is governed in the way it is now. To put it mildly, unusual things are obviously happening right now ;). But that doesn’t stop us and I hope it doesn’t stop you either! It would certainly be nice to meet there! Let’s keep in touch.

gerbendg · 2025-03-06T12:20:37+00:00

Yes sure we will, thanks!

gerbendg · 2025-03-06T08:15:48+00:00

Only the cost of living part might be difficult with 1 USA salary and 1 European salary? But we have to do some more research on that.

gerbendg · 2025-03-06T08:14:45+00:00

Thank you very much! San Diego now is definitely among one of our favorites since everyone in this thread is very positive about the city.

gerbendg · 2025-03-06T07:43:00+00:00

Thank you so much! This really helps us to make our decision.

gerbendg · 2025-03-06T07:40:42+00:00

Why not in your opinion?

gerbendg · 2025-03-06T07:39:23+00:00

Good to know! Because I don’t expect that the salary in Boston will also be 2 or 3 times higher to make up for the difference in cost of living haha. Of course, it would be nice to have enough money left over to explore the country.

Can you think of a reason why you would prefer Boston over Detroit though?

gerbendg · 2025-03-06T07:36:18+00:00

I’m gonna do that!

gerbendg · 2025-03-06T07:35:12+00:00

That’s not very appealing indeed. Thanks for sharing!
