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!

Aussie vs American Dining Rules That Will Shock You!
#CulturalDifferences #DiningEtiquette
Ever noticed how Aussies and Americans eat differently? Get ready for a deep dive into the quirkiest food etiquette differences as we look at Australian Culture and that in the USA! From the mysterious "cut and switch" method to the wild world of tipping, I’m breaking down all the dining etiquette quirks that make dining out an adventure on both sides of the Pacific.
What’s Inside:
✅ Why Americans cut and switch their fork and knife (and Aussies don’t!)
✅ The surprising truth about restaurant time limits
✅ Tipping culture: How much, when, and why it’s so different
✅ Is clearing the table whilst someone is still eating rude?
