There’s a moment that tends to happen when you live overseas.
 Someone hears your Australian accent in America… pauses for a second… and then the questions start.

After eight years living in the United States as an Australian, I’ve noticed the same questions come up again and again. Some are funny, some are unexpected, and some reveal more about the cultural differences between Australia and America than we probably realise.

In this episode, I walk through the questions Americans often ask Australians — from wildlife and language to holidays and everyday assumptions — and what those moments have taught me about the expat experience of living between two cultures.

It’s not really about right or wrong.
 It’s just about understanding each other a little better.
