It's time to go Down Under! I sure do love these two countries, and hopefully I'll get to visit them someday. 

I meant to get this out to you all yesterday, but the sponsor wanted me to make some changes to the video. I will be making this live later today. 

It's a collaboration with a young YouTuber named Liam who runs a great channel called State of the World. Check it out and subscribe! He seriously makes good stuff.

Thank you for your continued support!

Separated by the Tasman Sea, they’re two well developed countries that often rank really high on nearly every quality of life ranking list and are, uh, pretty awesome. Both seem to be kind of far away from the entire rest of the world, and kind of in their own little world since they’re both so unique.

Great video! I have lots of relatives in NZ, I’m actually related to Ernest Rutherford (I think he’s from my father’s mother’s father’s side). I also have some good friends living in Australia. Sadly I haven’t been to either..

Hey Matt, I'm looking forward to watching this video! That part of the world has always fascinated me.

Gosh, chocked full of info! I'd say from your video I think living in New Zealand would be my preference. And of course who wouldn't want to see the land of "Lord of the Rings"! I wonder about the politics in both. From the little I know it appears Australia has changed a lot since Covid. Also, for years I had the idea that Australia was a prison "continent" for England for many years. Maybe that was overly expressed in media over the past many years? Interesting that they were so high on the happy scale and I wonder if that has changed in Australia since Covid. Also interesting fact about the cost of living was lower in New Zealand which seems the preferable. I wonder what housing is like? Mostly urban it sounds like.

Gael Guerard

I wonder what both countries think about the US...

Matt Beat

To be fair, I've only noticed right media pundits saying Australia is now a hell hole. I suppose we should ask the folks who actually live there. Mostly of my Australia viewers seem to think things are going fine, but that is a small sample I think.

Gael Guerard

That's good to hear. I only get an occasional video on YouTube about Australia, but they make it seem bad. Always good to hear a voice of reason!

Wow. Very informative. Both are gorgeous! I would give the edge to NZ. I've put some roots down here in Dallas, TX but part of me wants to pack it up and just make the move. Maybe I should put my toe in the water and just pay a visit. Something to consider.
