Sharing things I've learned along the way as a traveling content creator. Anything for the plot. 😉

I'm glad you're loving it here. Your positivity is refreshing, absolutely lovely to see.

As someone from the U.S., yes, a lot of us know our quality of life is shit. Yes, we DO wish we had social programs like yours. No, we don't have the power to change it anytime soon. No, a lot of us don't have the money to "just move". A lot of average Americans aren't stupid, they're just stuck and struggling.

We are glad to have such a bubbly person appreciate this great country.
You’ve obviously matched the vibe we have going on. ❤

And politicians rarely get shot at here

Brooke, your pace of speaking is now so much easier for oldies like me to follow now. You are a joy to follow. Love having you here!❤

The USA doesn't spend enough money on social services. Glad to have you here, Brooke x

have been for a walk outside,
i live in a country city with 80k population and i see dozens of people living on the streets.
when i lived in sydney the homeless rate was very high as well

[C.A.MARSUPIAL-ystl]

Were grateful your here. Thanks for saying nice things about our country 👍

[jaimie]

The reason we don't have alleyways full of homeless people in Sydney is because of our "move on direction" laws! The police will literally arrest them if they stay...
*edit: go to woolloomoolooor town hall Woolworths, that's where they get moved along to

[geoffstein]

Heading that way unfortunately... We are becoming America, it's so sad that Australia has lost its identity!!

[sentientbean]

You are a lovely lady. Glad you are enjoying it here and looking on the bright side.

[markjones]

Glad to have you here for a long as you can stay

I recently spent 3 months in the US. The homelessness in the US is largely (not totally) down to drug use, then there is a percentage of disabled (physically or mentally or both) AND what I call “the walking wounded” those people who cannot function in that society (every society has them, people born in the wrong place or time or both).

Its a safe country and a good place to live comparatively to most other places in the world. Ive lived overseas and travelled a good bit and this is a special place to be. The biggest problem here is people compare Australia to perfect. No place is perfect, you have only the choice of here or another “real”country when you compare. Too many people in Australia poke holes in Australia when comparing it to their imagined country or the week they spent somewhere on holiday 🤦‍♂️
We are truly the lucky country ❤

[biopsiesbeanieboos]

Very interesting to hear your perspective.

[snowdrop]

when i was younger i visited america and was shocked at all the homeless people as i had rarely seen them in my australian city. except now cost of living is so out of control here there are massive tent cities in local parks, unhoused people on every street corner, plenty of people living in their cars and couch surfing who are effectively homeless too. and a lot of us are worried with just one rent increase we could be next... it's really sad

Fun fact; apparently a WTO report has shown that countries with a constitutional monarchy have a higher standard of living than republican countries.

[pierreborg]

You are exactly the type of people we love in Australia. You came here and embraced the life and culture. Welcome home ❤
