The hosts talk about the ins and outs of studying in Australia. Thanks to the Education Managers of Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade), which is part of the Australian Embassy in Manila for explaining to us the different pathways available for education in Australia and their differences from each other.
Grace and Kim promote Australian education in Manila and are very knowledgeable about what it’s like to become a student in Australia - from considering studying in the land down under, to getting a student visa, all the way from becoming a student in Australia!

One of the more complex visas that Pinoys go through is a partner visa. We’ve received a few questions about this particular visa so we decided to invite someone who can talk to us about her experience with it.
We've asked Tina's friend to sit down with us in this episode to share her insights, experience and tips about partner visa having done it herself.
Caveat lang noh mga ka-beshies, again, we’re no migration agents and this episode will only talk about our guest’s own experience. So you can get ideas from today’s episode and as usual, we suggest that you still do your own research, go to the Department of Home Affairs website to know more (the information you need to know are all there), and consider talking to an expert like a migration agent.

As Tina moved into her new place, the hosts talked about their experience of moving house in Auckland and Melbourne.
They took on a new format - TRUE OR FALSE - and tackled these burning questions:
Finding a place to move is fun and easy - many options to choose from and there’s plenty of supply! Since we are in first world countries, moving house is so efficient and such a breeze. Living solo is so much more expensive. So it’s always better to live with housemates on a flat-sharing arrangement. Most houses for rent in Australia and New Zealand are fully-furnished - so no need to worry about investing on your own furniture, beddings, housewares, and even parking is provided! Given the Covid-19 pandemic, house options and setup in Australia and New Zealand are now fully equipped to support working-from-home situations. I follow certain traditions/superstitions while choosing and moving into a new house (feng shui and example: rice and salt should be the first items to enter the house) -
Ang daming mga ka-beshies na nagtatanong sa amin about our experience moving to Australia and New Zealand. We've already done an episode on New Zealand. And for those asking about the various ways of moving to Australia, this is the episode for you!!
We’ll talk about the main visa options and migration routes to Australia!
Disclaimer lang ha mga ka-beshies. We are no immigration advisers, our views and opinions are just based on our own interpretation about the information that we read and stories that we hear from the experiences of others (friends, network etc.)

With all the different options, we’d like to frame this topic into 4 main routes: Skilled Migration, Employer-Sponsored, Student visa and Others.
Without further ado, here are more details about how you can potentially relocate and migrate to Australia!

So last week we talked about the Filipino work ethics abroad - and sat down with Jay-r's previous manager Sundae who talked about her observations and workplace tips for Pinoys abroad. We sure learned a lot and WE CAN’T GET ENOUGH! So we invited Tina's previous boss to join us and break it down further for us!
Meet Matt Proft! Tina used to work with him in her past life in Manila - promoting Australian businesses in the Philippines. He was their Trade Commissioner based in Manila for a few months. He led the team promoting Australian products and services in the Philippines, and he worked with the Manila team in implementing campaigns and rolling out events.
Fast forward to today, he’s now working in the New South Wales Treasury creating support for startups, scaleups and Ecosystem partners.

Matt talked to us about his experience working with Filipinos, what's unique about them, challenges they face when working abroad, and why the Filipino diaspora exists (Pinoys working all over the world).
