Creator's Key Takeaways
The visa process, if you have not gone through the Australian visa process, it is not for the faint of heart.

The secret is out—Nick is on his way to Melbourne! While we are excited for the incredible coffee and food scenes, starting into the Australian immigration process has been a roller coaster. We want to be transparent about the realities of international relocation, which is why we had to pause on a few updates while finalizing the mountain of paperwork. Our goal timeline for the whole family remains the same (January 2027), but our immediate plans just took a massive shift. Nick's visa was approved just hours before his flight, and he has officially departed for Melbourne to begin his work assignment in the CBD. This marks the longest time our family has ever spent apart, leaving Laura back in Hoboken to handle solo parenting and packing for the summer. We are jumping right back into regular uploads, sharing glimpses of Nick settling into Melbourne alongside our summer travel vlogs through New York, London, Germany, and an upcoming cruise. If you are an expat who has survived a long-distance relocation or a Melbourne local with neighborhood tips, please join the conversation below.
