Australia 2020

How it comes to my mind to moved to Australia ?

( Map of Australia )

Well is a long story, basically everythings is thanks to my friend Perla that we met in Riga while we were living there, she propose me to go to Australia together when we will finished the university so after a year more less, because we started to think about that during the spring 2018, we bought the ticket for the 31st of March 2019 to Bangkok and from there we supposed to go to Australia after our degree trip, but unfortunately I did graduate in the same year as my friend. We went to Thiland together and I stayed a bit longer in Indonesia alone and than I graduate on September 2019 and during the summer I couldn’t work because I was doing the last exams and the thesis. So I started the first year of the master at university and I did an Erasmus program in Paris that permit me to move to Australia after beacuse during the Erasmus the university gaves u financial support so I saved money to move dto Australia. In November 2019 while I was leaving in Paris I realized that I wanted to go to Australia even if my friend Perla she just moved to Melbourne without waiting me because she quit her job in October and our timing wasn’t matching anymore but I still wanted to go alone, so during the black Friday I booked the ticket till Abu Dhabi on the 12th Febrary 2020 and then during the Christmas holiday on the 10th of January I get the WHV thanks god immeditaely and when it was garanted I booked the rest of the journey from Dubai to Brisbane.

Why I choose Brisbane?

Always when I was thinking about Australia I wanted to move to Sydney but always everyone told that is too expensive and than the winte was coming in February and I just passed a winter in Europe so I wanted a summer and plus one of my crush she was living in Sydney so my gf doesn’t want me to go in Sydney at all, and she lived in Brisbane in the past so the suggested me that for the weather the life cost and everything, and finally she conviced me. That was a really good choice because after a month come up the COVID-19 and being in Queensland it was the best the best place to be to escape from the cities and moved to the country-side.

One way flight to Australia

My thinkng on board: “ I’m too tires that i can’t even understanding what’s going on and where I’m, probably I will realize that I’m in Australia the day after 

It was a really long flight from Italy to Australia, I took five plane first stop in Turkey second in Abu Dhabi that was amazing with other few days in Dubai. Than on the 22nd of February at 10:55 am Dubai – Bangaluru with Indigo 16:15 pm. That was my first time in India actually just for few hours than at 21:15 pm Bangaluru Singapore 04:30 am. Which it was my second time in Singapore in less then a year something too emotional because it’s one of my fav city in the world. And from here on the 23rd of February it will start my adventure in Australia.

Summary of the first month in Australia:

  • 1st week looking for a job desperately
  • 2nd week found jobs and doing trials
  • 3rd week start to work few hours but every day
  • 4th week losing the jobs due to the shotdown for the Covid-19

So the only solution was moving to the countryside and do the farm job because at the moment was the only possibility, and the only way to the money my all plan changed, so I was really confused and frustrate but I tried to adapt myself in this situation.

Farm work

I’m Italian and I came in Australia at the beginning of the 2020 with the WHV (417) that if you wanna apply for the second year of WHV you have to do 88 days of farm work. Is something pretty common for European young people that they move in Australia but I told to myself that I will never do it, because I wanted to stay in Australia only one year and I knew that the farm work is really hard, bad conditions and minimum wage. But after four weeks that I landed in Brisbane the global pandemic COVID-19 comes also in Australia and I lost the jobs that I just found andI get afraid to stuck in the city and I decided to go to the countryside trying to get some money, promise to myself to come back in the city ASAP.

FIFTH WEEK IN AUSTRALIA MOVING TO MUNDUBERRA

All the things that I get I lost them at the beginning of the fifth week, on Monday at 12 am in the end of March everything closed so I lost my jobs and I didn’t know what to do anymore. I did expect a world Pandemia while I’m in the opposite side of the world alone.

Monday 23.03.2020

I started the week on Monday like usual I did the housekeeping job totally in panic, with don’t know what to next and thinking what’s better just go home in Italy or try to stay in Australia. At the lunch time fortunately appears Chiara the German girl that I met during my tour in Malaysia and Singapore, she comes to my hostel and then we went to drink something together in an bench in the city center because everything was closed, than in the evening I talked with my gf by phone whiteout know what to do and I thought to come back home or try to stay without find any solutions.

Tuesday 24.03.2020

I woke up full of energy and motivation and I decided to stay in Australia and find a farm job, so with my laptop I stay in front of it all the day and I tried to find a solution. I started to post an article in all Facebook group hoping that someone could help me and then I found few contact while I was talking with a lot of people. Finally I started to talk with a girl in my same situation and she found a place to stay in Munduberra that was the place that I wanted to go because the fruit season will might start soon, and well I booked the Hostel than I met her for a drink down to my hostel and we talk a bit to what we should bring and stuff like that and then I bought also the train ticket and the bus ticket and I ended the day like this.
