Just having a bit of fun and banter. Jay-R and Tina competed against each other for who gets the most number of correct slangs.

This episode is a continuation of Part 1 from two weeks ago, talking about moving and settling overseas this time from the POV of our fellow kababayans. We unpacked the tips and strategies for going through the big move - starting from the Philippines and finally into the early days in Australia and New Zealand.

Hear from an awesome mix of friends - one who studied in Melbourne and another who's now working in Auckland. We also got a few questions from our beshies and we tried to cover their questions.

Can you use your Philippine IDs here? Where can you buy furniture? How can you transport them to your new home if you don't have a car yet? What's budgeting like as compared to Philippine costs?

Thanks to our guests for answering these q's for us!

Kina Santillan-Pascua is a good friend of Tina who she met through work. She studied in Melbourne after getting a scholarship from Australia Awards and her then boyfriend, now husband, eventually followed as a fee-paying/full-paying student.  She’s now back in the Philippines, a mom to two beautiful daughters and has worked in the development sector since. 

Ginel Taguba is Tina's friend all the way from high school. Two years ago Tina and Ginel were comparing notes about migrating to Australia, New Zealand and even Canada! Ginel finally got the silver fern visa and has been happily working and living in New Zealand for a year now with her partner.

It’s officially the first day of winter today! So we think it’s very timely to talk about weather - ang lagay ng panahon! We talk about the things you need to know about the weather in Australia and New Zealand. Together with our guests, we share all our realizations, misadventures, and tips on coping with four seasons in ANZ! (Cue music: Boyz II Men).

Thanks to our guests for joining us today! Super fun episode with:

Grab your jacket or reach out for your abaniko, and listen to all things about Aussie and Kiwi weather!

In this episode, we talk about moving and settling into a new city. What do you need to organize and prepare for in transitioning to a new country?

A two-part episode, Finding ANZers will shed light on how working people and students alike have done to prepare for the big move and what their experiences are like adjusting to their new country.

In part 1, we've invited Paula Lizardo, a colleague of Jay-r. They met through work and met for the first time when Jay-r watched Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in Melbourne.

Originally from Argentina, Paula is our FIRST international guest!

Look out for the second part, where we guest a couple who used to study in Melbourne. Watch this space!

But for now, sit back and enjoy Paula's anecdotes about her move to Melbourne.

Let's explore the education system, student culture, and what it's like being a student in Australia and New Zealand.

Thanks for today's guest who shared their experiences and insights about becoming students in Melbourne and Auckland:
