MY FIRST YEAR IN AUSTRALIA GUIDED JOURNAL

Moving to Australia is exciting. But the first year can also feel overwhelming.

Finding work that responds. Searching for accommodation that does not disappear overnight. Managing money when income is unstable. Trying to stay positive while everything around you keeps changing.

This journal was created for that exact phase.

It is for backpackers and visa holders who may feel unsure or tired at times, but also for those who are genuinely excited about the journey and simply want clarity without spending hours googling everything.

If you want real guidance based on lived experience instead of endless forums, mixed advice, and information overload, this journal was made for you.

This is not a blank notebook and it is not a motivational diary.

It is a structured guided journal designed specifically for your first year in Australia. It helps you organise your thoughts, understand what to focus on at different stages of your journey, and make grounded decisions as life here unfolds.

Inside the journal you will find

• weekly guided pages that support you with planning your finances realistically even with irregular income

• reflecting without overthinking or spiralling

• making clearer decisions around work, housing, and direction

• knowing what to think about and prioritise as your situation changes

• staying connected to yourself while adapting to a new country

Each week includes thoughtful questions and practical exercises based on real lived experience of moving to and living in Australia. The guidance is there so you do not have to search for answers for hours or second guess every decision.

I created this journal because I lived this season myself.

I know what it feels like to arrive full of excitement and still feel overwhelmed by how much there is to figure out. To constantly adapt while wondering if you are missing something important. To question your decisions while telling yourself to just push through.

I wished I had something steady back then. Something that helped me organise my thoughts, track my progress, and understand what actually matters at each stage.

This journal is for you if you are in your first year in Australia and want structure without pressure. If you want practical guidance without information overload. If you want clarity that comes from real experience, not theory.

This journal will not promise an easy journey.

But it will help you feel more grounded, prepared, and supported while you build your life here.

You do not need to have everything figured out.You just need a place to start.

This is more than a planner — it’s your companion for the year that changes everything.
