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!
