I Moved to Perth, Western Australia - Is it Worth It?

Living in Perth, Australia — what is it really like? In this video, I share my experience of moving back to Perth and building a life here as a migrant. Perth is often described as isolated, quiet, even boring. But living here tells a different story. From migration and multicultural communities to FIFO work culture, cost of living, and the balance between space and ambition — this film explores what life in Perth, Western Australia actually feels like. Having lived in cities like London and Sydney, cities that never sleep, I found myself returning to Perth not for excitement, but for balance. For space. For the rhythm that lets you work hard and still have a life that feels like your own. This is not a typical Perth travel guide. It’s a cinematic reflection on why people move to Perth, what keeps them here, and what makes this city feel like home. Perth is not loud. It doesn’t try to impress. But sometimes, the cities that don’t shout are the ones that stay with you the longest. A Film by Kharissa Gomez #Perth #LivingInPerth #PerthAustralia #MovingToPerth #WesternAustralia #CityReflection
