Living in the United States has made me more aware of the small habits I grew up with in Australia — the ones that feel completely ordinary at home, but slightly surprising elsewhere.

In this episode, I look at a handful of everyday Australian behaviours that often catch Americans off guard, from our relaxed social tone to the way sport, humour, and language shape daily life.

We’ll explore:

• The meaning behind “no worries”
 • Why footy carries such cultural weight
 • How Australians use “mate”
 • The difference between stereotype and lived reality

It’s not about proving anything.

It’s about how habits quietly reflect national character — and how those habits stand out when you see them from a distance.

If you’ve ever noticed your own culture more clearly after leaving it, you’ll recognise the feeling.
