On a mission to inform Aussie digital nomads

We started Escape from Aus because, well, we've been there. Picture this: you're sipping coffee in a Bali cafe, or maybe you're watching the sunset in Barcelona. Life's good, except for that nagging feeling - what about your taxes back home? Or how do you explain to your bank that yes, those transactions in Thailand are actually you?

That's where we come in. We're a bunch of Aussies who love to wander but got tired of the headaches that come with balancing life abroad and responsibilities back home. So we thought, why not create the resource we wish we had? A place where fellow Australian globetrotters can find answers to those pesky questions that pop up when you're far from home.

From figuring out how to run your small business from a beach in Mexico to choosing the right travel insurance (because let's face it, we all know that one person who broke their leg skiing in Canada), we've got you covered. We're here to help you navigate the practical stuff so you can focus on the important things - like deciding which country to explore next. Think of us as your mate back home who just happens to know a lot about living the nomad life while keeping your Aussie roots intact.
