I extend sincere thanks to CJ Explores for their thorough exploration of Australia, covering its cities, beaches, and outback. Visiting New Zealand and Australia has been a dream tourism destination for me for a long time. I suggest incorporating street food experiences and interactions with locals and expats into your vlogs.
Thank you for your support my friend! We will definitely be checking out the markets during our time here and yes we can include some street food for sure 😉
@@cjexplores You are welcome! I can't wait to see your street food experiences and interactions with locals in your vlogs. Safe travels and happy exploring.
Loved this walking tour around GC area, looks very family friendly and my dog would love it!(definitely get a dog 🐶 🤩) Agree the Creek is very picturesque.. you should both purchase a bicycle.. great way to get about and looks like a lot of flat accessible areas & great way to keep fit! Loved your balcony area guys, looks a lovely spot to relax. ❤
@@tracygrant2923 we are so excited to get a dog 🐕 we are going to check out some of the local rescues and see if there are any dogs that we connect with 😍 we will get bikes, do not worry about that!! Thanks Tracy, we have a 6 month lease here and really enjoying it so far!
@@cjexplores that’s great you’re going to see about a dog, and a rescue one is a great idea! 🐶 glad you’re enjoying you’re time in the Gold Coast too 🤩
I’m very surprised you decided to make the Gold Coast your home and not somewhere a bit quieter. I suppose because it’s quite central to everything there. I know you absolutely loved WA but it’s a long way from everything. Welcome back you guys!! 😁👍🇦🇺
Hey guys, can I ask why you decided Gold Coast over Perth? We are thinking of moving to either Perth or Gold Coast but very torn between the two. Could you compare them? Love your videos.
@@KenzoTenmaM hi Dr Kenzo 👋🏼 of course. Perth is fantastic as well. It’s located on the river not quite on the coast, a little bit like Brisbane. Except the beaches near Perth are much nicer! Gold Coast has much more infrastructure than Perth I would say, it’s been established for a longer time and is really well developed. You will certainly get more bang for your buck over in Perth in terms of house prices - that’s whether you’re buying or renting. If that doesn’t concern you and you want a busier lifestyle then Gold Coast would certainly work for you. If you like things a little bit quieter, want to save some money and don’t mind being more than a few hours flight away from the nearest major city then Perth could be the pick! Hope this helps!
@@cjexplores I have been living in Perth for 2.5 years now and I think the local mentality here is isolated. I`ve been in Brisbane and Gold Coast for 2 months and was able to connect with ppl straight away
@@mariastar108 ahaa 🤔 that’s interesting. We have also connected with people here on the GC right away! But we do have a friend who is living in Perth for a couple years now. I’ll ask him how it’s all going 😉
@@maria641 yes! The main property search tools are Domain.com.au and realestate.com.au but you can also join Facebook groups for your chosen region where people share rooms available for rent as well as full properties. We didn’t consider living in FNQ because it gets tooooo hot there in the summer. Great for a holiday but slightly uncomfortable if you don’t like having to choose between living in a sauna or air conditioning all day!

What about rental and houses/apartments prices?(rent and buy) it’s exorbitant!! I don’t get how a single person can afford to live there if not in shared house 😞
Thank you for your very informative videos! I'm thinking of studying in Gold Coast, do you know if we can afford to live there with only a part time job? Approximately how much money should we earn to live on?
Hi Sophie 👋🏼 there’s a lot of great Facebook groups which can help you find rooms/houses/apartments to live in on the Gold Coast. There you will get an idea of the current rental prices. A room in a shared house is obviously the cheapest way to go and you could find yourself living with other students in an area close to your uni of choice. In terms of money, I think you could get by on a part time job. I certainly did when I was living in Brisbane when I first moved here. The wages in Australia are very good and they pay extra for night time and weekend work. If you want to make it happen I’m sure you can Sophie!!
Your almost every videos i have been watching in your eyes give me honestly say which country is more beautiful new Zealand or Australia to visit please answer from gazipur bangladesh
Why you say impossible i think both Australia and new Zealand are worlds beautiful and best country to visit are you agree with me please answer from gazipur bangladesh
@@kamrulhassan6560both are fantastic to visit. The two countries are only a few hours flight from each other, so if you are coming from the other side of the world you should visit both
The end of Gold coast you showed is a retirement home. Although its slowly been taken away by elitists and hippies and the desperate tradies battling eachother for business so the prices for services are super low relative to Sydney and Melbourne.
Depends on what you're looking for! It's quite family friendly etc and a lot of fun but I'm not sure which city would say is the best. Sydney is great for tourists, Melbourne has a really fun creative scene, Perth is quieter and close to amazing beaches. Darwin is affordable and a pretty cool place as well.
@@mariastar108 🤩🤩🤩 we once did a dog personality test and we found out that Brittany’s would suit our lifestyle! But we are definitely open to other breeds. We live in an apartment at the moment so maybe a smaller dog might be better suited to us as we don’t have the space for the dog to run around! What do you think?
@@PlaylistsRUs thanks for your input, I just watched this and it seems that it’s not as bad as you might think… ua-cam.com/video/NSBz7kVDMNI/v-deo.htmlsi=tsCEh_7zfj7IhGEA
I think you two fit in and would make good Australians, and especially, Gold Coasters (Margot Robbie's grew up there). Hope you run out of reasons to go elsewhere. Looks like a place to heal on many levels. Beautiful.

don`t move to Perth - Gold Coast is better

If I settle down in the Gold Coast, how much US dollars will it cost to invest in a property?
Not sure too much on that but average houses around Gold Coast now cost $1m+ AUD
$500k USD might get you a 1 bedroom unit.
Houses now well over $800k USD. Water front property $2m plus USD
Great
How it it for people on strollers¿
@@sisselnilsen4699 perfect with all the bike paths! And it’s very flat 👌🏼
@@cjexplores Are ttjrr wooden patths down to the beach and structures into the sea??
Do you guys think the Gold Coast?
Is the best city in Australia
Depends on what you're looking for! It's quite family friendly etc and a lot of fun but I'm not sure which city would say is the best. Sydney is great for tourists, Melbourne has a really fun creative scene, Perth is quieter and close to amazing beaches. Darwin is affordable and a pretty cool place as well.

get a border collie !🐕🦺 or a red dog kelpie

@@cjexplores I`ve heard that there might be issues with apartment regulations if a dog is bigger than a certain size, that`s true.
@@mariastar108 I didn’t even think of that, more just about the dog being happy. I’ll look into the local bylaws, good shout x
😊
☺️
You guys could do dog sitting
Super helpful but we need more stability in our life I think 😊
Australia is health conscious and veganism isn’t a healthy lifestyle especially if you’re an active person.

South Gold Coast is WAY nicer than the northern end.
we think so too!
Jack Russell
Hahaha our neighbour had one in Cornwall and he was NAUGHTY!!! 🤣
I think you two fit in and would make good Australians, and especially, Gold Coasters (Margot Robbie's grew up there).
Hope you run out of reasons to go elsewhere. Looks like a place to heal on many levels. Beautiful.

just say immigrants. you guys are immigrants.
