As the world gets smaller and travel becomes easier, more and more people are experiencing wanderlust. Aussies themselves are known for this, ask anyone living abroad, and they’ll tell you they know an Aussie or two. Here are five popular countries that Aussies like to visit. But, before travelling, make sure to keep your valuables safe while out of the country like using Self Storage Deer Park. It’s one less thing to worry about while you’re out.

New Zealand

It’s no surprise that the closest neighbour would be the most popular. Starting from the east coast, it takes under 4 hours to reach, perfect for the weekend getaway. Breathtaking landscapes and some of the best ski resorts in the world, no wonder why its the most popular. An agreement between Australia and New Zealand to visit, live, and work helps too.

Indonesia

Bali, that itself can be the sole reason for an anyone, let alone an Aussie to visit. According to the Australian Embassy in Jakarta, a quarter of all visitors are Aussies. Of course, Indonesia has more than beautiful beaches. The food, nightlife, and culture itself is something every Aussie should experience. The only downside would be finding work as work visas are a bureaucratic nightmare. If you do get a visa teaching English is an easy job to come by.

USA

It’s a large country where each state is a whole different culture from one another. Go from California to New York, and you’ll see what I mean. Maybe this is why it’s popular with Aussies, there’s just so many places to visit. Finding work isn’t as different as it is in Australia as long as you have a visa or permanent residency, the most popular being translation services. If you decide to visit using Self Storage Deer Park should be a good idea to keep your valuables safe. Coming home to stolen goods is never worth a trip.

UK

Aussies are allowed to visit 6 months at a time which makes the UK the perfect base for visiting Europe. Of course, that’s not a reason to visit, especially when the Buckingham Palace, London Bridge, and Big Ben are in the same country. The type of work should be no different than in Australia, all you need is to apply for a visa. Also, don’t forget to try the fish and chips while you visit.

Thailand

This country is more of a popular destination for ex-pats rather than tourists. It’s cheap to live in and varies in atmosphere, from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok to the relaxed pace of Chiang Mai. Just like most non-English speaking countries, teaching English is an easy job as long as you have the proper visa. For the ex-pat wanting to move to Thailand, make sure to get everything organized before you go. One way to do that is gathering your non-essentials and moving them to a Self Storage like Deer Park.
