Living overseas changes the way you see the place you came from.

After eight years in the United States, I’ve started to notice things about Australia that I never really thought about when I lived there. Not the big, obvious things — but the small, everyday ones. The kinds of things that quietly shape your sense of home.

In this episode, I reflect on what I didn’t realise I’d taken for granted growing up in Australia. From simple routines and food, to humour, culture, and the sounds that stay with you long after you leave.

It’s not about one place being better than another.
 It’s about what becomes visible… once you’re no longer surrounded by it.

If you’ve ever lived overseas — or even just away from where you grew up — this might feel familiar.
