US States Where Aussies Feel Most at Home

Moving from Australia to the United States is less about swapping countries and more about adjusting to a completely different rhythm of life.

In this episode, I look at the US states where Australians often seem to settle most comfortably — not because they’re identical to home, but because certain elements feel familiar.

We’ll consider:

• Climate similarities and outdoor culture
 • Social tone and communication style
 • Food, sport, and lifestyle overlap
 • The presence (or absence) of Aussie expat communities
 • And how regional differences shape the experience

Having made the move myself, I’ve learned that “feeling at home” isn’t about finding Australia in America. It’s about recognising small points of connection that make the transition smoother.

If you’re considering the move — or simply curious about how different parts of the US feel through Australian eyes — this is a grounded look at where the adjustment might come more easily.
