From Down Under to Down South
Welcome to America Through the Eyes of an Aussie Expat! Join me, Aussie Mike, as I hilariously compare Aussie and American cultures, share epic travel mishaps, and dish out some real talk on current events—because what's life without a bit of Aussie banter? Don’t forget to check out my YouTube channel, where I’m dropping insightful (and occasionally funny) vlogs about my adventures.
Since making the leap from Australia to sunny Tennessee in 2018, I’ve fallen madly in love with both countries—Australia will always be in my heart, but I now proudly call the US home (and try not to get too confused about the traffic and weather). Raising my family here, I’ve realized that, just like Aussie BBQs, not everything is perfect in the USA. So I tackle everything from crime and immigration to healthcare (yep, plenty to complain about) — plus my top picks for American food, holidays, and why kids' TV here is a whole different universe.
And of course, I dive into what it truly means to be an Aussie expat living on the other side of the world—because sometimes, you just need to laugh at the cultural quirks. Hit subscribe for a fresh, funny take on life down under and across the pond!
From Down Under to Down South
Weird Australian Habits Americans Find Bizarre
G'day from the land Down Under—well, technically, Down South! Ever caught an American looking totally bewildered by an Aussie habit? Culture shock? As an Aussie expat living in the US, I’ve had my fair share of funny moments explaining our unique quirks to my American mates. In this video, I’m sharing the most bizarre Australian habits that leave Americans scratching their heads—and maybe even questioning reality!
Get ready for a deep dive into the weirdest Aussie customs: from chicken salt, abbreviating literally everything, our undying love for half flush toilets, to the mysterious world of slow Aussie internet speeds! I’ll spill the tea on the everyday things we Aussies do without a second thought, but that Americans find totally bonkers.
What you’ll discover in this video:
The art of abbreviating every word under the sun
Our coffee culture vs American coffee confusion
Clothes dryers and the hills hoist
Half flush toilet culture
Chicken salt or bust
Aussie PowerPoint switches
Slow internet speeds
and more!
Whether you’re an American curious about Aussie life, an expat missing home, or just obsessed with cultural quirks, you’re in for a treat (and a laugh)!
👇 Tell me in the comments: Which Aussie habit would totally weird you out? Or if you’re an Aussie, which American custom do YOU find strange?
