A British woman who has ventured to the other side of the globe for a new life is on a bid to ‘de-influence’ others from going to Australia.
Hannah, who now lives in Perth, migrated across the globe in February of this year.
But unlike the gorgeous sunsets and picturesque walks we see online, the young woman’s experience of the country has been very different.
‘I would like to de-influence you to move to Australia,’ she said in the clip with over 200,000 views.
‘Because the girls on TikTok that just make videos of them running on the beach at 6 am having an acai bowl, enjoying the sunrise it is not like that.’

Revealing she had been struggling to find a job, Hannah shared that she had cried several times in only the last three weeks.
The ex-pat revealed she had never found it so difficult to secure employment- even when she was in the UK.
Australia currently has an unemployment rate of 3.9 per cent, with 575,100 people without jobs in the country, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
She clarified that despite the doubt she still wanted to remain in the country and give life down under a genuine try.
The travelling part that’s fun that’s easy that bit can be romanticised – that is amazing,’ she said.
‘But the whole living trying to find a job part it is tough.’
Explaining that she might feel settled once she gets a job, she added: ‘So maybe in six months I’ll be running on the beach having an acai bowl but right now no.’
No-one actually tells you how hard it is when moving over here. It took me 2 months to find a job in Melbourne
Social media users flooded her comment section with support, urging her to keep pursuing her Australian dream.
One penned: ‘It’s taken me 5 weeks to find a job here! It’s not easy you’re right but just stick at it! You’ve got this!’
‘I felt this! But honestly don’t give up I interviewed for a company and they hired me instantly and even offered me sponsorship,’ a second empathised.
‘They’re my little Aus family ❤️don’t give up xxx’
‘I was the same a few months ago, so was my partner {but] one day it just clicks,’ another chimed in.
‘I hated when people told me that when I was desperate but it does happen. when you’re reconsidering it all, it’ll click x’

One shared: ‘I fully understand, the crying part too. I’ve been in Melbourne for 2 years now, I took long time to find a job, but you’ll find something, don’t worry❤️.’
Several others shared their own difficulties finding employment in Australia, with one writing: ‘I went to Australia in January and really liked it but struggled to find any vibes.
‘Made me realise even more how much London/the UK has to offer!!’
Another added: I completely agree. If I do get a job then Any money I earn will just be covering expenses and if I’m lucky, give back the money I lost from looking for a job.
A user agreed: ‘THIS!! The travelling part was great but the job part is awful!
‘I tried au-pairing and I hated it and tried looking for something else and it’s been impossible!’
