Australia

Thinking about traveling to Australia? 🐨🌊
Get ready for a vast, diverse, and mind-blowing country: endless beaches, modern cities, unique animals, red deserts, tropical forests, and an energy that combines wild nature with a laid-back lifestyle.

Australia is perfect for adventurers, surfers, wildlife lovers... and yes, also for geeks, foodies, and those looking for specialty coffee on every corner.

For me, Australia is total freedom. A country where you can lose yourself and find yourself among landscapes that seem like they're from another planet.

WHAT AWAITS YOU IN AUSTRALIA

🗣 Language: The official language is English (with an Aussie accent 😅). In large cities you won't have any problems. Words like arvo (late), brekkie (breakfast) or mate (friend) are part of everyday life.

💰 Currency: Australian dollar (AUD). You can pay by card in almost everything (even flea markets). Apps like Apple Pay or Google Pay are widely used.

🦘 Traditions: Life here is relaxed but organized. Dinner is served early, coffee is almost a religion, and the culture of respect is strong (be careful not to litter or jump the queue!). At the beach, always pay attention to the red and yellow flags for safe swimming.

🔌 Plug: Type I, voltage 230 V. You will need an adapter if you are coming from Europe.

Internet: Having an internet connection in Australia is practically indispensable to fully enjoy your trip. eSIM The best option, it will give you peace of mind and you won't have to rely on public networks. Plus, reserving them in advance can save you money and hassle. You can purchase your eSIM card here either here.

WHEN TO TRAVEL TO AUSTRALIA

Australia is so big that there's always good weather somewhere. But beware: the seasons are the opposite of those in Europe!

☀️ Summer (December-February): Intense heat throughout most of the country. Ideal for the beach and east coast.
🍂 Autumn (March-May): less tourism, mild temperatures and perfect for road trips.
❄️ Winter (June-August): cold in the south (even snow in high areas), but the north is ideal.
🌸 Spring (September-November): one of the best times to visit almost the entire country.

🇦🇺 DREAMER TIP: If you are going to do routes inland, plan your gas and water wellThe distances are vast, and there are areas with zero coverage. But if you're brave enough, the Australian desert offers the most starry skies you've ever seen.
