A British woman who has ventured to the other side of the world in search of a new life tries to “disinfluence” others from going to Australia.
Hannah, who now lives in Perth, emigrated across the world in February this year.
But unlike the gorgeous sunsets and picturesque walks we see online, the young woman’s experience of the country has been very different.
“I would like to remove your influence so that you move to Australia,” he said in the clip with more than 200,000 views.
“Because girls on TikTok who just make videos of them running on the beach at 6 a.m. having an acai bowl, enjoying the sunrise, that’s not it.”
Hannah (pictured), who moved to Australia in February, is in a bid to ‘disinfluence’ other Brits from going under.
Hannah revealed that she had been struggling to find work and shared that she had cried several times in just the last three weeks.
The expat revealed that she had never found it so difficult to get a job, not even when she was in the UK.
Australia currently has an unemployment rate of 3.9 percent, with 575,100 people out of work in the country, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
He clarified that despite the doubt he still wanted to stay in the country and give his life in a real attempt.
“The part of the trip, that is fun, that is easy, that can be romanticized, is incredible,” he said.
“But a lifetime of trying to find a job is difficult.”
Explaining that she might feel comfortable once she gets a job, she added: “So maybe six months from now I’ll be running on the beach drinking an acai bowl, but not now.”
No one really tells you how hard it is to move here. It took me 2 months to find a job in Melbourne.
Social media users flooded her comments section with support, urging her to continue pursuing her Australian dream.
One of them wrote: ‘It’s taken me five weeks to find a job here! It’s not easy, you’re right, but keep it up! You’ve got this!’
‘I felt this! But honestly, don’t give up. “I interviewed for a company and they hired me instantly and even offered me sponsorship,” a second sympathized.
‘They are my little Aus family don’t give up xxx’
“I was the same a few months ago, as was my partner, but one day everything clicked,” another intervened.
‘I hated people saying that to me when I was desperate, but it happens. when you’re reconsidering everything, he’ll click x’
Sharing her Australian reality, Hannah confessed that she had been struggling to find work and feel settled in the country.
Several social media users flooded the comments with support for the young man who had cried several times in the last three weeks.
One shared: ‘I completely understand the crying part too. I’ve been in Melbourne for 2 years and it took me a long time to find a job, but you will find something, don’t worry.’
Several others shared their own difficulties finding work in Australia, with one writing: ‘I went to Australia in January and really liked it, but struggled to find any vibe.
‘It made me realize even more how much London/UK has to offer!!’
Another added: I completely agree. If I get a job, all the money I earn will only cover expenses, and if I’m lucky, I’ll pay back the money I lost looking for a job.
One user agreed: ‘THIS!! The travel part was great, but the work part is horrible!
‘I tried to be an au pair and I hated it and I tried to find something else and it was impossible!’
