Everyday American Habits
Americans have a way of turning small everyday interactions into full social rituals — from the way they say goodbye, to how they order coffee, apologise, make small talk, or stand in line. These videos explore the little habits that quietly stood out to me after moving from Australia to the United States.
Living Between Two Countries
Living overseas changes the way you see both countries — and sometimes yourself. These videos explore the strange in-between space of building a life in America while still carrying Australia with you: the homesickness, the identity shifts, the unexpected moments of connection, and the realisation that “home” slowly becomes more complicated than it used to be.
Australian vs American Communication
Communication styles mean that life in America can sound similar on the surface if you are from Australia — but the meaning underneath is often completely different. These videos explore the subtle social rules behind everyday conversations: why Americans apologise differently, why Australians can sound blunt without meaning to, and how small phrases quietly reveal the culture behind them.
Identity & Perspective
Living overseas slowly changes the way you see yourself, your home country, and the people around you. These videos explore identity, belonging, nostalgia, and the strange perspective that comes from living between two cultures long enough to notice both more clearly.
