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
Are Americans REALLY That Rude?
Are Americans really that rude, or is it just a classic case of cultural differences? As an Aussie expat living in the United States, I’m diving into the real stories and surprising truths behind American social behavior. After years of navigating life abroad, I’ll share my honest perspective on what feels rude to Australians, why some American habits might seem blunt, and how cultural expectations shape our reactions.
In this episode, you’ll get a firsthand look at my biggest culture shock moments, from bold customer service encounters to the everyday quirks that make Americans unique. Is their directness actually rudeness, or just a different way of communicating? I’ll break down the stereotypes, reveal the hidden reasons behind American manners, and compare them to Aussie customs.
Whether you’re an expat, a traveler, or just curious about the differences between Australia and the USA, you’ll find plenty of laughs, insights, and relatable moments here. Join the conversation—have you noticed these cultural clashes? Drop your stories in the comments!
