Moving to a different country can be both terrifying and exhilarating, but one man has issued a warning if people are planning to move to Australia.

Australia has become a popular travel destination for people looking for a change in their life, but now they are being warned not to idealize the country too much.

When you think of Australia, you likely think of beaches, beers, hot weather and maybe the random creepy crawly that can kill you.

All in all, it sounds like a magical place to live and if your country or city has trash weather, it sounds like the best destination for a complete change of pace.

However, a TikToker has warned against making the massive leap due to the tough situation he faced moving to Sydney.

In fact, lad from Northern Ireland, Jordan Morris, has decided to leave the country after only moving their three weeks ago.

In a video he said: “Think we underestimated just how difficult it is to get set up here in Sydney.

“After only three weeks, we are leaving the country.”

Morris said their ‘current situation’ was making it ‘incredible difficult’ for them to secure a place to stay long term.

“One of the lads is still back home in Northern Ireland, so we’re trying to secure a three-bed flat with only two people, and honestly, it’s just proven to be impossible,” he explained.

While he and his friends managed to get some temporary work on a building site for some cash to tide them over, finding somewhere to live has been the more difficult task.

They have decided to go to Bali for two weeks as its cheaper than staying in Sydney and said they hope to return to the country and have better fortunes.

He also explained despite the reputation, the weather in the country isn’t 24/7 sunshine.

He said: “You don’t have to go out in hoodies, you have to go out in jumpers.

“But it has rained most of the days we've been here recently, and it was actually thunder and lightning storms.

"Last night, we got caught up in some torrential rain. Honestly, it's absolutely crazy.

"I thought I was going to come here to sunshine every single day, but I suppose it still is spring.”

Aussies echoed Jordan's sentiments in the comments: “It's seems a lot of people idealise Australia before coming here without truly understanding the reality.”

So, probably best to sort your accommodation before heading halfway across the world.
