I currently live in Southern California and I'm tired of it. I want a change... drastic change. My sister applied for a study abroad program in Australia for next year, and I have been planning on going with her if she gets accepted... but the more I think about it, the more I think I want to go regardless. I am in my [early early] preliminary research phase and was wondering if there are any CAGs who have travelled there a few times or live there, and could offer opinions on... well, anything. I'm particularly interested in people who have moved there [or ANYWHERE] from the U.S.
I don't even know what specific questions I have but I do know that it is getting to the point where I can't afford to live in SoCal anymore. I am two classes away from a bachelors in Political Science which I assume would be almost useless over there [not that it is worth much here, but I chose a global concentration rather than a general US concentration]. Anything... advice from people living abroad, stories, anything. Even alternative places to live besides Australia.
The only stipulations are that it can't be more expensive than SoCal, and I don't want to learn another language.
Thanks in advance!
