UK to Perth: 19 Years of Moving Back and Forth (Our Honest Story)

Moving to Australia for the THIRD time!✈️ We are the Jamesys - a family of 6 making the huge move back to Perth, Western Australia, but this time, things look very different... In our very first vlog, Jess shares the story of where it all began back in 2005. From packing up our lives with two tiny toddlers and closing our UK bank accounts (a massive mistake!) to living the picture-postcard life in Perth, building a pool, and then experiencing total heartbreak and homesickness. Why did we come back to the UK after getting Australian citizenship? And how are we coping with leaving two of our grown daughters behind this time around? Watch to find out! We’d love to connect with other expat families, migrants, or anyone who has made a big move! Leave us a comment down below - have you ever moved abroad or left family behind? How did you cope? 🔔 DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE to follow our entire journey from the UK back to Perth!
