With all of us moved out from our parent's homes, we share our experiences of living on our own. We cover how our parents reacted, budgeting, struggling with learning how to do laundry, buying furniture, our money saving tips and more.
Matt's mic was a bit scuffed in the first 10 minutes but it fixed itself after.
1:21:00 - Editor's note: While we found a positive experience in our family relationships when we moved out, we forgot to mention that everyone's experience will differ, and you should consider that too.
Guests: Matthew Ky, Nathan Phu

A well over due episode. Theo has been bugging me for a recording ever since I started this. In this one we cover Theo's experience growing up as Greek/Chinese (I could not figure out what his background was when I first met him). We also discuss how we met in uni (the famous gaming hoodie story), where we are now in our careers despite studying the same degree and major, Theo's upbringing within a political family and more.

Yeah, we vote every two-ish years, but I figured it was time to finally figure out how it all works, behind all the ballot papers and 'vote for me' cards.

Our itinerary: Wanderlog - I don't endorse the paid version, the free one had enough features for us to get by.
We're back from our first post-covid international flight and we (mainly Tung) had to find an excuse to tell you all about it. How is Sydney airport now? What is there to do in New Zealand? What's it like driving around in an RV? What does Nathan do on every trip? Is New Zealand a good place to propose?! 😏 The answer to these and more in this episode.
