A proposito di questo titolo

Welcome to America Through the Eyes of an Aussie Expat! Join me, Aussie Mike, as I hilariously compare Aussie and American cultures, share epic travel mishaps, and dish out some real talk on current events—because what's life without a bit of Aussie banter? Don’t forget to check out my YouTube channel, where I’m dropping insightful (and occasionally funny) vlogs about my adventures.


Since making the leap from Australia to sunny Tennessee in 2018, I’ve fallen madly in love with both countries—Australia will always be in my heart, but I now proudly call the US home (and try not to get too confused about the traffic and weather). Raising my family here, I’ve realized that, just like Aussie BBQs, not everything is perfect in the USA. So I tackle everything from crime and immigration to healthcare (yep, plenty to complain about) — plus my top picks for American food, holidays, and why kids' TV here is a whole different universe.


And of course, I dive into what it truly means to be an Aussie expat living on the other side of the world—because sometimes, you just need to laugh at the cultural quirks. Hit subscribe for a fresh, funny take on life down under and across the pond!

    5 American Habits That Still Baffle This Aussie After 7 Years

    7 years of living in America and these 5 American habits STILL completely baffle me as an Aussie expat. 🇦🇺🇺🇸

    From over-the-top friendliness to supersized everything, these are the culture shock moments that just won’t fade!

    In this video, I share the distinctly American behaviors that still catch me off guard daily as an Australian living in the USA – aggressive friendliness at grocery stores, work culture obsession, the Buc-ee’s trap, extreme pet pampering, and the complete lack of personal space boundaries.

    If you’re an Australian moving to America, an expat already here, or just curious about the cultural differences between Australia and America, you’ll relate to this one.

    Are you an expat living abroad? What cultural quirks still baffle you where you live now? Drop your stories in the comments – I love hearing them!

  • Why Americans Think All Accents Sound the Same

    Why Americans Think All Accents Sound the Same
    Jan 31 2026

    Send us a text

    Americans don’t think all accents sound the same…
    they just haven’t had enough practice yet 😉

    As an Aussie living in the US, I’ve lost count of how many times people have guessed my accent as British, Irish, European… or “Australian but kind of British.”

    In this video, I break down:

    • Why Americans struggle to tell accents apart
    • How movies and TV completely wreck our expectations of accents
    • Why Australians are just as bad with American accents
    • And a quick accent test to see how you go

    This isn’t a roast — it’s an observation. Accents carry history, class, culture, and geography… and unless you grow up around them, your brain takes shortcuts.

    So be honest 👀
    Did the Aussie and Kiwi accents sound the same to you?

    👇 Let me know in the comments.

    From Down Under to Down South — still explaining where Australia is…
    one accent at a time.

    Hoo roo, maties.
