People watching is great way to learn more about Brisbane and Australia.
You can see how people interact with each other and learn a lot about a culture just by taking notice of what is going on around you.
A great place to people watch is in The Valley (Fortitude Valley), which is Brisbane’s entertainment district.

When you want o enjoy lunch in a beautiful location, but don’t want to spend money eating out, you can visit Newfarm Park.
Pack a picnic and blanket and spend the day with your friends or family kicking around a soccer ball or just enjoying nature.
If you want an afternoon alone, grab a book and head over the park to enjoy the sunshine.
Queen Street Mall
If you are shopping, you will need money, but Queen Street Mall is also a great place to window shop.
You can find great local stores that sell unique items, gifts and clothing.
Tour of the City
You can take a self-guided tour of Brisbane and learn all about the different places to see and different things to do.
Grab a map of the city and ask locals for the best kept secrets.
There is even free transportation.

You can stop at Queen Street Mall, City Botanical Gardens and other popular destinations.
If you didn’t get enough city viewing from the Centre Free Loop Bus, you can hop on the Spring Hill Free Loop Bus.
The Spring Hill Free Loop Bus connects with the Centre Free Loop Bus which will take you to many destinations including King Edward Park and Wickham Park.
What a great way to get a free tour of Brisbane!
Southbank Parklands and Pool
This park has crystal blue lagoons, palm trees and white sand, which makes you feel like you are visiting a tropical paradise in the middle of the city.

The number one reason for companies denying international relocation options to deserving employees is because they have a family.
Having a family can make moving overseas much more difficult because of the stress that relocation can bring to families.
Culture shock, finances and getting adjusted to a new life can be very difficult for some families.
However, many families find moving overseas to be an incredibly rewarding experience.
You will be able to experience a new culture and a whole new lifestyle.
When you decide to move overseas, there are some tips you can follow to keep your partner happy in your new country.
Communication
When something is bothering you, you need to speak up to your partner and encourage them to do the same.
If you are worrying about making friends, learning a language or missing family, you should let your partner know.
Your partner cannot offer suggestions or be more sympathetic to your emotional needs if they don’t know that something is bothering you.
If culture shock or stress is bothering you, don’t let small problems escalate into unnecessary catastrophes.
Speaking in a calm and rational manner will benefit you and your partner by working through problems.
Irrational emotions can sometimes evolve when you keep your worries and challenges to yourself.
Share your feelings with your partner, so they can be aware of what you are thinking without making assumptions.
You are a team, so work together so you can enjoy your new country and the opportunity of a lifetime.
Don’t Make a Mountain out of a Molehill
Everyday can bring worries or opportunities and this all depends on how you view a situation.
International moves can bring additional challenges to daily activities, but don’t sweat the small stuff.
Instead of being frustrated about getting lost in your new country, look at the situation as an opportunity to explore a new part of the city.
When you are having difficulties communicating in your new language, look at the situation as an opportunity to improve your language skills.
You can always ask yourself if the problem you are facing will really matter one year from now and if the answer is no, find a solution to your challenge and move on!
If you save your energy for the big challenges, you will have a better chance of solving problems more strategically and thoroughly.
Commitment
Before you decide to move overseas, make sure that you and your partner are committed to making the international relocation work.
If your partner is having doubts and doesn’t really want to move, you should reconsider the move overseas.
Moving overseas takes determination to make it a success.
You both have to be committed to adapting to a new culture and getting used to whole new way of life.
When you both have the attitude that you are going to make the move a successful move, you have a better chance of having a great experience.
Finances
Finances can always be challenging in any relationship.
Before moving overseas, make sure you have a financial cushion in case of any unexpected costs and make a budget so you are both aware of where you are financially.
Determine how much the international move will cost and what your new cost of living will be in your new country.
If the numbers work and you are both committed to the international move, then go for it!
