I've relocated to Slovenia from Brisbane. 70 yo. Love everything about this part of Europe. Seasons! Pace. The food. Peaceful. Safe. Beautiful. Lovely people. Cost of living. Clean air. Amazing water. Exciting. Best wishes ...
I'm 67, original from Germany. Having lived in Australia for 43 years, no way could I ever live in Germany again. Besides the weather, it's the people and the relaxed lifestyle that makes Australia such a great country to call home. The only thing I've missed over all those decades, and still today, is German food😉😊😊 Cheers, and all the best in your new home.
All well and good when you are at retirement age and own your own home. Anyone younger than 40 feel completely lost here. No amount of beautiful country can make up for having nothing even when I work my ass off and having literally zero future and nothing to look forward to. I'll never own a home. I'll never be able to go on holiday, none of that while I live here.
@@richardwozniak3238 Yes, I did as I was told by my masters😉😊 Seriously, as a sufferer from COPD I thought it wise to have 3 shots all up. At my age....not much to lose! If I was a healthy 25yo I probably wouldn't. Besides, soon after the OZ government relaxed o/seas travel restrictions I went to Germany, which would not have been possible by German law unless I was fully vaccinated. But I fully agree with your nanny country statement! I did not enter Australia as a poor migrant, but felt in love with a beautiful woman while working for a German company in OZ. My late wife was beautiful till the day she past away. My new country was also beautiful....for some decades....but has now turned into a sometimes ugly, cynical and domineering old woman.....sorry girls😉😊 But I guess, as we got older, we've gotten used to each other...the old couple symptom...Yes Dear....😂😂😂 I still love Australia very much and can't think of any country I'd rather live. Cheers, from Cairns.
@@white94rabbit I totally agree with you! The so called Australian Dream....being a home owner by the age of 30 with 2kids, a backyard, dog and cat, car, 3 weeks camping holiday, combined with a very affordable mortgage....is gone forever, at least for the majority of wage earners. However, I know a lot of young tradies in their 20's-early 30's , who took the risk, showed initiative and became self employed, that are doing very, very well! The pendulum has swung....the plumbers etc., once considered lower class workers....are today's kings😉 In the old day's, a good looking girl with a bit of education always wanted to ""Up marry"". Today, for a lot of professional woman, the perhaps not so sophisticated plumber, builder etc. may be the golden prince😉😊😊😊 But you are right....Australia is not the workers paradise it used to be....and that is very sad!
@@richardwozniak3238 where have you been living under a rock, the whole world is like that and Europe is struggling economicly and yes I had the vaccination willingly still here enjoying life might I add not so for my brother who refused to vaccinate he was one of the first to get it and die in our little costal town along with 10 others ranging from 49-74
@@white94rabbit Respectfully, it comes down to choices, if you want those things you mention, you can get them with relative ease. Speaking from experience, I felt the same a few years ago, but made a choice to change my situation. Australia is full of opportunity, the easiest of which is in places most people don't want to live.
Given our extremely poor politicians, super high cost of living, ridiculous property prices, congestion and traffic in major centres I can totally understant anyone leaving. I wish you and your family all the best.
I'm neither Australian or Croatian but they are both great countries. From my view point you are in a "win win" situation. I wish you and your beautiful family the very best life has to offer. What you said that stuck with me was to "live in the moment and enjoy the process". This I will take and run with it. Everyone is on their own unique journey. Thank you for sharing yours.
If my grandson didn't arrive during covid i would have seriously considered leaving Australia, what happened during covid was enough for me to want to leave the only country I've ever known, ive never even thought about leaving until covid and now i see Australia as a different place, its a real shame
I agree, the management of the covid episode was not one of Australia's finest hours! But, as a young family, what other country would be better to live in? Unless one has ties to perhaps the old country, like the creator of this great video. Look at my previous comment 24hrs. ago. Cheers from Cairns
You are a beautiful family and so incredibly brave to make such a life altering decision. I wish you nothing but joy, happiness and health. Welcome to Croatia 🇭🇷😊
Even though it was very tough to see you all go to the other side of the world, I believed in your decisions to give our beloved grandchildren a balanced life. What an amazing experience as a family. Cant wait for more amazing captures of your adventures together.❤
Man man man.. you have no idea how much I envy you.. I've been in Australia for thirty years and I wish I never came.. I wish I was in the position to move somewhere, anywhere, but.. you are lucky you made decision to move while your children are still small, if they were any older, it wouldn't be so smooth.. also, very lucky that you have your wife's support too, which is probably more important.. all the best to you and your family.. cheers..
Thanks for all your kind words. I respect Australia for all that it has given us but we needed a change and yes we are aware it was the perfect time for us to make the move now. Hope you make it here one day 😊
Very nice video! I'm Argentinean (born and raised) with croatian heritage, my father is hrvati from Hvar island. I'm moving to Australia for 1 year with the work and holiday visa and then planning to move to Croatia, i have already my Domovnica. I have decided to rebuild my life in Croatia, sadly there's no future in Argentina, your video came in to my life in the perfect moment. The only problem is the lenguage, i 'm trying my best :D Moj Hrvatski jezik je loš, ali ja učim Hrvatski jezik svaki dan
@leandrojelicic1327 From our personal experience I have to say yes. We have been welcomed by locals and of course by fellow expats. It's probably never been easier as there are more expats and digital nomads in Croatia than ever before. I would suggest you join the expat groups on fb. It's a great start 😊
My only worry would be the future, the way the world is with wars and chaos, especially in Europe, then with the world financial crash that will come soon according to most economists and other financial pundits, I think I'd rather hedge my bets and stay in Australia. That said I'd stay well out of the big cities when this all finally goes down and move into a country area where water and food will be plentiful and the people a little more sane and stable. Good luck though, hope it works out for you
Am so pleased that you made a decission now when your children are young. Keep these videos coming. I may see you in Croatia soon. I was born in Zadar. Living in South Australia 53 years, I am planning to return next year
Congrats, probably one of the best decisions you made, especially in this current stage of the world.. I got back little over a year ago, never looked back..
Much love to you and your beautiful family and keep sharing the love homie. I moved from Australia after 21 year's to Bosnia, not far from where ya at now and not feeling bad about it at all. Be safe and in love, peace homie 👊

My partner and I did just this 4 months ago. From our lives in Sydney NSW, we packed all our belongings sold everything we moved to Croatia, my partners homeland, a place we now call HOME. Best decision we have made...... now for me all I need is to learn the language. You are actually living our life. So lovely to hear someone else is just as crazy and lucky to have this dream come true.
This has indeed been an adventure of our lifetime and the best decision of our life as well 😊. Good luck with the language and all the best to you! This lucky/crazy community is increasing by the day it seems.
@@sea-pooladventures Yes, I see more and more people do the exact same. Yes, couldn't agree more its one of the best decisions we've done also. There's so many positives to living here. Thank you, keep living the dream and I will keep following and supporting you and your families journey here in beautiful Croatia.
For this move and life choice you obviously must be financially stable as this isn’t an adventure that most families could easily afford to do . I’m sure it will be all fun and adventure for a while , but then I guess daily grind sets in as in anywhere you live . Every country has its good and bad . Nice scenery though .
The trouble with Europeans , they never step foot out of our cities in Australia and all they do is work . Me and my husband travelled many beautiful national parks in Australia . We also do hiking . I know that Greeks aren’t like that and when they visit Europe they do everything touristy and they love it . . I know Croatia is beautiful but I hope your relatives are nice to you . I visited Cyprus , my parents country in 1992 and the relatives generally were horrible and we weren’t welcomed there because we weren’t born in Cyprus . I will never move there and I will continue my adventures in Australia . The younger generation of Australian born Greeks need to be open minded and not see things greener over the other side . Best of luck with your new life in Croatia . A great travel documentary and thank you .
I absolutely love this video. The narration is really outstanding - makes it much more than just beautiful visuals. Well done. I look forward to seeing more!
This is incredible to watch! So happy for you all! Beautiful to see the kids so happy with your decision and getting in that family time ❤ looking forward to watching your journey and experiences 🤗🤗 Sending you all my love ❤
Good on you mate I’m moving out from Brisbane soon,after living here for almost 24 years finally I realised there in no future here, Honestly you have motivated me for sure Next year I’m coming to Croatia and will go from there Cheers and best of luck
Same here You always lack of everything especially the feelings like home Hopefully I will get out soon had absolutely enough and as I always tell others There is no future here for sure
@@sea-pooladventures It’s funny but I’m Indian origin and all my best friends are Balkans Trust me there are lot more on their way to Balkans as there is nothing much left here. You can’t see your kids are growing and the living standards is shocking. Still people lives in illusion saying What a great nation we are!!!!!
Guys you very welcomed to our beautiful country! If you ever need any help please let me know it would be a pleasure to give you a helping hand we are also from Australia and living in Rijeka. Croatia is just beautiful and safe. Wishing you and your family all the best. Enjoy 🥰
Im planning on moving to Macedonia from Melbourne Australia, theres nothing left for me in Melbourne amd my life is not progressing here anymore so im glad to see this video just made me more confident in doing it
Dobro došli u Hrvatsku! Jako me zanima kako ćete se snaći. Mi smo emigrirali u Australiju ali ja sam se uvijek htjela vratiti. Hrvatska je raj na zemlji i u srcu Europe. Nadam se da ćete naći dobro poslove ili uspjeti napraviti vlastiti biznis. Ako budete imali pristojna primanja imat ćete jedan on najboljih lifestyles in the World. Sretno!
Ma što dobro došli?!? Sad ćemo još primati Anglosaksoncie ovdje? Nakon što su iselili skoro pola milijuna naših ljudi sad odjedanput njima odgovara ovdje doći? Sad nam dolaze i oni Norvežani, valjda iz one svoje super razvijene države? Zašto bi itko iz takvih država dolazio u Hrvatsku u ovakvom stanju? Pa valjda su je zato tako i uništili, da bi nas mogli biološki istrijebiti i preuzeti teritorij. To njihova smrdljiva vikinška vrsta radi uvijek.
You guys are so amazing! The main thing you are all together , with your gorgeous kids. Adventure is always good ! No need to stay only in one country. The whole world is our home . Thank you so much for sharing this video with us. ❤❤❤
@@sea-pooladventures Thats great as makes it a lot easier to understand what’s being said around and to speak to .. 👌👌👌 and I’m actually bludi jealous 😁 wish I was able to relocate also, oh well maybe one day since quite alot of relatives there also within Dalmacija also in Hercegovina .. hi from Sydney 🇦🇺 to your wife and adorable youngsters 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Wonderful to have your video pop up onto my feed. My wife and I are also from Brisbane and relocating to Montenegro for new life on Boka Kotorska early in the new year. Look forward to following your journey and perhaps we can bump into each other at some stage in the future.
I moved to Australia from America. Now my Aussie husband & I are desperate to move anywhere else. The politicians are killing this country with their greed & unconcern for those that elected them. Immigration, lack of housing, lazy people who continue to live on taxpayer dime, taxes etc.have ruined it for so many. We know of many who have left or want to, but the moneys not there.
@@sgee_4k not according to the mates we know. All want out, but again can’t afford it due to labor killing the country, but bet your little socialist heart is loving it living on your government payoff
Isa, the USA is a fantastic country but only let down by a poor health system and costly education. Then again Australia is slowly inching towards a similar user-pays scheme and I hope it stops! You’re lucky you can either live here or the USA. Both fabulous places. Admittedly as an Australian, I do find the USA more interesting and fun to visit. Unsure what it’s like to live there but it’s a great place for a holiday. I suggest don’t sell up in Australia. Go elsewhere and see how you find it. If it doesn’t work out, you can always return to Australia.
@@josephj6521 you forgot the shootings in every other day, school shootings and other. Everyone having to carry a gun for safety. Police shooting black people, the miss treatments of poor, amount of people homelessness, drug addict and mentally sick. Australia is never ever close to that.
Wow man , I enjoyed this so much , I cried I laughed I can’t wait for next episode , Edi what the hell, you are so soothing to listen to :) who produced this ? Incredible !!! Can’t wait to see you guys next year ☺️🤗 best move ever x
Well done and wishing you the very best, we are stuck here in Australia and rotting away in the day to day Sydney grind, I hate it so much I need to get out, it's killing me like a cancer
That’s fantastic, I’ve just left Australia too, after 35 years, I live Australia dearly but it’s just getting out of reach for many, too expensive. I’m calling Malaga Spain home for now🙏🏻
Thank You for sharing your beautiful adventure together with your family. It’s inspiring and thrilling you taken a big step to see different things and beautiful beginnings and that’s perfect 👍. We are here and with you guys. Hugs from our family to yours ✨🇦🇺. We understand.
Thats beautiful, nice that yous looked for adventure afar. Maybe try put your kids in a English speaking school but it could be more expensive unless they understand the Croatian language then send them to local school. 😊
Well done. All the best and enjoy Croatia and Europe at your doorstep. I’ve been to Croatia and it’s so beautiful. I also found the people very welcoming and telling not only all about Croatian history and culture, but they’re proud to have a blend of history from so many other nations such as how they got into wine thousands of years ago when the Ancient Greeks went there. I also noticed the influence from Italy and better pizza in Croatia than Italy! lol Good to see you got your priorities right and bought a boat. 👍 You could sale to Italy if the weather forecast is good or hug the coast to Greece and explore! In your boat. That’s magic!
Plenty of people are leaving Australia to live abroad or returning to their homelands. Can't blame them. Working your arse off just to pay ridiculous rents for dodgy housing, overpriced bills and super expensive food is not a dream life for sure. All the best to you.
I’m concerned what’s happening. I used to see many Brits feel the same way 20 years ago and I felt sorry for them as many wanted to leave. Now it’s happening here and I didn’t think it would!
You are certainly NOT Australian or at least the son of europeans. You look Croation. Its certainly a lot easier to temporrily move overseas if you speak the language and know the culture. Enjoy your series of life in Croatia, have fun.
Hi Eddie. Love the video and my memories of exploring Croatian Islands come flooding back to me Brave decisions let to great rewards for people like yourself I'd love to buy a boat like yours and do something similar but don't know the first thing about sailing but eager to now learn Can I ask what is the size/type of boat you have...im planting the first seeds for a new chapter of my life Regards Ivan- Melbourne
Do you know what the public schools are teaching the kids now in Australia its very disturbing. If you want your kid to be confused by its gender or wanting to join young gangs send it to a public school in Australia.
welcome to my countr m8. enjoy every moment of living there cause its truly beautiful country with beautiful food. one thing though. be cautious of corrupt politicians and local municipality governments. Also, you came to Opatija. A place where I used to go to university for 5 years! Its truly the pearl of Adriatic sea. Give my greetings to Opatija bro! Miss spending my time there. Last but not least enjoy driving on croatian roads and motorways! I always said Croatia has better roads than Australia and I will stick by it no matter what. Miss driving there so badly :((( Better roads and better road etiquette. Big greetings from Sydney.
I have noticed many entrepreneurs, creatives, and anyone seeking a little more freedom in their lives are leaving the country. I know may who left and moved to South East Asia have said their lives improved from business opportunities and healthcare.
I am a Pensioner and are moving overseas for lower cost of living purposes. Australia has become unaffordable and the living conditions and standards have progressively been ruined by criminal governments that don't have a real clue.
I'm moving to Serbia from Sydney to be with my wife. Taking a long time and I'll get there. Can't wait to spend time with my granddaughter as well. Never ever coming back to Oz, which has become a disgrace.
First of all a welcome hug, I wish you the best to you, your lady and the children. I am sure that you will not regret your choice and that you will have no difficulty integrating into society. Maybe it will take you a little time but it seems to me that you have all the skills to do it. The language is a little difficult, but little by little you will learn the basics. However, all the new generations speak English, so no problem!. I see that you live in Opatija, I am from Rijeka and maybe one day we will have the opportunity to meet on the street and maybe have a drink... In any case, welcome! PS: you have many beautiful islands to visit around here: Krk, Losinj, Cres, Rab, Pag and many small ones (Susak for example) which almost seem like a paradise...
Thanks so much for the lovely welcome 🙏 I can speak Croatian but my wife is finding it challenging. Definitely say hello if you spot us out and about 😊
I've relocated to Slovenia from Brisbane. 70 yo. Love everything about this part of Europe. Seasons! Pace. The food. Peaceful. Safe. Beautiful. Lovely people. Cost of living. Clean air. Amazing water. Exciting. Best wishes ...

Dobro nam došli, ja sam se vratio u Zadar prije dvi godine is USA i obožavam biti u Ljepoj Našoj. Nadam se vašem uspjehu u Hrvatskoj u svakom pogledu.
Subscribed. We have moved to Opatija, Croatia two years ago, from Canada. Still trying to adjust :)
Thanks for the sub! Do you come to any of the expat meet-ups?
@@sea-pooladventures I haven't been to any. Maybe I should.
Looks awesome guys! Beautiful Adriatic 👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Good on you mate
I’m moving out from Brisbane soon,after living here for almost 24 years finally I realised there in no future here,
Honestly you have motivated me for sure
Next year I’m coming to Croatia and will go from there
Cheers and best of luck
Cheers mate, I'm glad the video contributed to your decision in a positive way. Let us know if you end up making the move. All the best 😊
I was born in Oz and never felt at home here.
Same here
You always lack of everything especially the feelings like home
Hopefully I will get out soon had absolutely enough and as I always tell others
There is no future here for sure
@@sea-pooladventures
It’s funny but I’m Indian origin and all my best friends are Balkans
Trust me there are lot more on their way to Balkans as there is nothing much left here.
You can’t see your kids are growing and the living standards is shocking.
Still people lives in illusion saying
What a great nation we are!!!!!
What't the problem in Australia?
How amazing Edi. Loved to see your adventures.
Thanks! 😃
Wellcome....wish you all, a good and fruitfull life in Cr🌞atia...🍀🖖👋
Many many thanks

We went opposite way, moved from Croatia to Coolum near Brisbane. Have a good one!
Love Coolum. Enjoy
Guys you very welcomed to our beautiful country! If you ever need any help please let me know it would be a pleasure to give you a helping hand we are also from Australia and living in Rijeka. Croatia is just beautiful and safe. Wishing you and your family all the best. Enjoy 🥰
Thank you. Do you ever come to the expat meet-ups?
A brave move in search for adventure! Well done to you guys.
Cheers čvark 🫡
Im planning on moving to Macedonia from Melbourne Australia, theres nothing left for me in Melbourne amd my life is not progressing here anymore so im glad to see this video just made me more confident in doing it
Good luck mate! All the best to ya😊
Dobro došli u Hrvatsku! Jako me zanima kako ćete se snaći. Mi smo emigrirali u Australiju ali ja sam se uvijek htjela vratiti. Hrvatska je raj na zemlji i u srcu Europe. Nadam se da ćete naći dobro poslove ili uspjeti napraviti vlastiti biznis. Ako budete imali pristojna primanja imat ćete jedan on najboljih lifestyles in the World. Sretno!
ja sam isto emigrirao nažalost prije 3 godine u australiju, i nadam se da ću za 10ak godina moći se vratiti u Hrvatsku zemlju gdje sam rođen.
Nadam se da hocete. U stvari ako zelite i nemate drugih prepreka kako partnericu kojoj je super u Australiji onda i hocete. 😄
@@vicki3220 plan je nešto novaca sačuvati i pokušati otvoriti neki biznis kako ovdje u Australiji tako tamo u HR... :)
Hvala! Za sada smo presretni 😊
Ma što dobro došli?!?
Sad ćemo još primati Anglosaksoncie ovdje? Nakon što su iselili skoro pola milijuna naših ljudi sad odjedanput njima odgovara ovdje doći? Sad nam dolaze i oni Norvežani, valjda iz one svoje super razvijene države? Zašto bi itko iz takvih država dolazio u Hrvatsku u ovakvom stanju? Pa valjda su je zato tako i uništili, da bi nas mogli biološki istrijebiti i preuzeti teritorij. To njihova smrdljiva vikinška vrsta radi uvijek.
Dobro došli u našu prelijepu Hrvatsku🇭🇷 uživajte i sretno!
Hvala 😊
❤ Super brate pravi si umetnik mozes I filmove snimati .Veliki pozz za celu porodicu. Crni
Thanks for the positive energy Ivaneee 😊
Good luck & all the best to you & your family!!!!!
🙏
For now, it looks like a holiday. Beautiful. Good luck. All the best, and prosperity. 🌏🦘🐨
You guys are so amazing! The main thing you are all together , with your gorgeous kids.
Adventure is always good ! No need to stay only in one country. The whole world is our home . Thank you so much for sharing this video with us. ❤❤❤
Exactly! Thank you for your positivity and great vibes! 😊 🙏
Cute family..God bless you & All the Very Best.
It’s more a story about moving from a city to a lifestyle on a boat and you can also do that in Australia
Sure. It is. Cheers😊
Oh a truly beautiful destination to have relocated to “Dobro došli u Hrvatska 🇭🇷🇭🇷”🥂
Are you Croatian heritage?
Thanks! Yes I have Croatian heritage 😊
@@sea-pooladventures Thats great as makes it a lot easier to understand what’s being said around and to speak to .. 👌👌👌 and I’m actually bludi jealous 😁 wish I was able to relocate also, oh well maybe one day since quite alot of relatives there also within Dalmacija also in Hercegovina .. hi from Sydney 🇦🇺 to your wife and adorable youngsters 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Wonderful to have your video pop up onto my feed. My wife and I are also from Brisbane and relocating to Montenegro for new life on Boka Kotorska early in the new year. Look forward to following your journey and perhaps we can bump into each other at some stage in the future.
All the best to you. Would love to visit Montenegro at some point. Good luck 😊
I moved to Australia from America. Now my Aussie husband & I are desperate to move anywhere else. The politicians are killing this country with their greed & unconcern for those that elected them. Immigration, lack of housing, lazy people who continue to live on taxpayer dime, taxes etc.have ruined it for so many. We know of many who have left or want to, but the moneys not there.
Still 100 times better than America 😂
Leave don’t let the door hit your but. We don’t want you any way
@@sgee_4k not according to the mates we know. All want out, but again can’t afford it due to labor killing the country, but bet your little socialist heart is loving it living on your government payoff
Isa, the USA is a fantastic country but only let down by a poor health system and costly education. Then again Australia is slowly inching towards a similar user-pays scheme and I hope it stops!
You’re lucky you can either live here or the USA. Both fabulous places. Admittedly as an Australian, I do find the USA more interesting and fun to visit. Unsure what it’s like to live there but it’s a great place for a holiday.
I suggest don’t sell up in Australia. Go elsewhere and see how you find it. If it doesn’t work out, you can always return to Australia.
@@josephj6521 you forgot the shootings in every other day, school shootings and other. Everyone having to carry a gun for safety. Police shooting black people, the miss treatments of poor, amount of people homelessness, drug addict and mentally sick. Australia is never ever close to that.
Welcome back.
Dobro nam došli u lipu našu
Hvala na dobrodošlici
Kumeeeee!!!! uživajte ❤❤
Cheers kume 🫡
Wow man , I enjoyed this so much , I cried I laughed I can’t wait for next episode , Edi what the hell, you are so soothing to listen to :) who produced this ? Incredible !!! Can’t wait to see you guys next year ☺️🤗 best move ever x
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. All elements of production by Edi Lovric 😊. Cast and crew Lovric family ❤
Welcome to Croatia!
Brave move but you can do it, wish you all the best, to you and ur family.
Stay sharp :D🖐👋👍💪🚤😀
Thank you! Will do!
Well done and wishing you the very best, we are stuck here in Australia and rotting away in the day to day Sydney grind, I hate it so much I need to get out, it's killing me like a cancer
Thank you very much. Don't let that happen mate, make a change 😊
We have been talking about it, so it's a start @@sea-pooladventures
Australia is a horrible life. I know i live there.
Would kill to be in Aus instead of Canada.
@@CommoditySC You are saying that because you're not here.
Good luck in Croatia 🇭🇷
With money luck is around the corner.
That’s fantastic, I’ve just left Australia too, after 35 years, I live Australia dearly but it’s just getting out of reach for many, too expensive.
I’m calling Malaga Spain home for now🙏🏻
Tako je Edo imate jedni druge i mozete sve .Bravo i sretno
Hvala Bobo 😊
Bravo odličan potez 💪😎
Cheers Roso 💪
Welcome to Croatia!
Cheers
Well done, be interesting to see how you handle cold in winter there in Yugoslavia, in any case you can always come back to AUS if you get tired of it
Yugoslavia passed away almost 33 years ago
Welcome to Croatia I hope you will have good life here in Croatia people...🌱☘🍀🌿🍃🍂🌼🍁🌺🦋🦕🇪🇺🇭🇷🌍🥰
Thank you so much 😊
Amazing future and adventure. Good luck with your family and enjoy every moment of it as life is an adventure. Hello from Sydney
Welcome to Croatia 😃
Thanks 😊
God bless you 🙏 ❤️ Australia 🇦🇺 ✝️
Thank You for sharing your beautiful adventure together with your family. It’s inspiring and thrilling you taken a big step to see different things and beautiful beginnings and that’s perfect 👍. We are here and with you guys. Hugs from our family to yours ✨🇦🇺. We understand.
Beautiful! Welcome ❤️
Cheers😊
just found u my sis in law is croatian and is beautiful will love watching your journey
Welcome aboard 🙏
Welcome to Croatia, hope you stay and feel good in our country
Thats beautiful, nice that yous looked for adventure afar. Maybe try put your kids in a English speaking school but it could be more expensive unless they understand the Croatian language then send them to local school. 😊
Inspirational video..
🙏
Well done. All the best and enjoy Croatia and Europe at your doorstep. I’ve been to Croatia and it’s so beautiful. I also found the people very welcoming and telling not only all about Croatian history and culture, but they’re proud to have a blend of history from so many other nations such as how they got into wine thousands of years ago when the Ancient Greeks went there.
I also noticed the influence from Italy and better pizza in Croatia than Italy! lol
Good to see you got your priorities right and bought a boat. 👍 You could sale to Italy if the weather forecast is good or hug the coast to Greece and explore! In your boat. That’s magic!
Thanks for the positive vibes mate! The boat was a must 😊
I think maybe I saw you guys somewhere on the Lungo Mare this summer... probably since I live in Lovran. Best wishes to you and your family.
It's definitely possible, we're down there a bit, say hello next time 😊
Plenty of people are leaving Australia to live abroad or returning to their homelands. Can't blame them. Working your arse off just to pay ridiculous rents for dodgy housing, overpriced bills and super expensive food is not a dream life for sure. All the best to you.
Spot on
I’m concerned what’s happening. I used to see many Brits feel the same way 20 years ago and I felt sorry for them as many wanted to leave. Now it’s happening here and I didn’t think it would!
Looks amazing Ed 💖☺️
Thanks so much Razia😊
You are certainly NOT Australian or at least the son of europeans. You look Croation. Its certainly a lot easier to temporrily move overseas if you speak the language and know the culture. Enjoy your series of life in Croatia, have fun.
❤🎉Brraavvooo Ediiii. Čestitam .💌🤝
🙏
Opatija is a very expensive tourist location, not tipical Croatia.
Bravo i sretno vam bilo!!
Hvala 😊
Very rare for a American family to do that. Comfort zone dwellers for life!
Yeah, we find that most Aussies are very similar as well 😊
Wonderful video and journey👏👏👏
Thank you so much 👍
Expat here in Austria, Croatia nice for a holiday but I wouldn't choose to live there..
What a stunning part of the world
Hi Eddie.
Love the video and my memories of exploring Croatian Islands come flooding back to me
Brave decisions let to great rewards for people like yourself
I'd love to buy a boat like yours and do something similar but don't know the first thing about sailing but eager to now learn
Can I ask what is the size/type of boat you have...im planting the first seeds for a new chapter of my life
Regards
Ivan- Melbourne
Australia safe and very peaceful and perfect for growing children and families
Croatia has winter and snow ⛄️
Australia is sickest country of them all maybe... all this nonsense with the flu was way out of hand. Terrible country. A shame.
Do you know what the public schools are teaching the kids now in Australia its very disturbing. If you want your kid to be confused by its gender or wanting to join young gangs send it to a public school in Australia.
Croatia is far safer than Australia. It is as safe as Finland.
Welcome to Croatia 🇭🇷
welcome to my countr m8. enjoy every moment of living there cause its truly beautiful country with beautiful food. one thing though. be cautious of corrupt politicians and local municipality governments. Also, you came to Opatija. A place where I used to go to university for 5 years! Its truly the pearl of Adriatic sea. Give my greetings to Opatija bro! Miss spending my time there. Last but not least enjoy driving on croatian roads and motorways! I always said Croatia has better roads than Australia and I will stick by it no matter what. Miss driving there so badly :((( Better roads and better road etiquette. Big greetings from Sydney.
Cheers, thanks for the advice. We're really enjoying Opatija it's a great place for us to be right now 😊
“Stanislave preterano sereš”!
Vrati se u Hrvatsku, što si odlazio kada ti je tako lepo bilo?
I have noticed many entrepreneurs, creatives, and anyone seeking a little more freedom in their lives are leaving the country. I know may who left and moved to South East Asia have said their lives improved from business opportunities and healthcare.
I am a Pensioner and are moving overseas for lower cost of living purposes. Australia has become unaffordable and the living conditions and standards have progressively been ruined by criminal governments that don't have a real clue.
Welcome to paradise on earth !
I'm moving to Serbia from Sydney to be with my wife. Taking a long time and I'll get there. Can't wait to spend time with my granddaughter as well. Never ever coming back to Oz, which has become a disgrace.
Good onya and good luck. For us it is possibly the best thing we've ever done 😊
Why a disgrace?
@@conniep3164 Woke and rainbow family alphabet agenda shoved down our throats daily amongst other evil propaganda
Serbia definitely cheaper to live than in Croatia
How a disgrace ?
Love the narration and content. David Attenborough 2.0
🙏
God bless brother 🙏 Enjoy Croatia is Top❤
Croatia is not just the coast you need to explore it lots of things to see if you go to the Continent
It's something that's definitely on our to do list 😊
You will return.
You can if you have enough money otherwise forget it!
First of all a welcome hug, I wish you the best to you, your lady and the children. I am sure that you will not regret your choice and that you will have no difficulty integrating into society. Maybe it will take you a little time but it seems to me that you have all the skills to do it. The language is a little difficult, but little by little you will learn the basics. However, all the new generations speak English, so no problem!. I see that you live in Opatija, I am from Rijeka and maybe one day we will have the opportunity to meet on the street and maybe have a drink... In any case, welcome!
PS: you have many beautiful islands to visit around here: Krk, Losinj, Cres, Rab, Pag and many small ones (Susak for example) which almost seem like a paradise...
Thanks so much for the lovely welcome 🙏
I can speak Croatian but my wife is finding it challenging.
Definitely say hello if you spot us out and about 😊
