I spontaneously quit my job and moved to Australia – I frantically tried to come up with a plan… but it wasn’t easy

A WOMAN spontaneously quit her job and moved to Australia – but says it wasn’t an easy task to uproot her life.

Catherine Acoull, a teacher from Scotland, has been busy sharing online how she pulled off her trip-of-a-lifetime.

Catherine, who describes herself as “just a teacher taking a year out to travel the world” on TikTok, decided to leave her life behind for the sunny shores of Australia.

In a scene familiar to many, she filmed herself seemingly working from home, wrapped up in a blanket and drinking tea before immediately cutting to her booking flights.

Over the video, she wrote: “POV: You quit your job and move to Australia with all your besties.”

The clip then follows with a montage of enviable scenes from her backpacking in the land down under – incredible beaches, sunsets, wildlife and nights out.

However, it wasn’t an easy task to give up her work and plan an entire year-long trip to a country on the other side of the world.

In a separate video, Catherine looks glum as she writes: “POV: you’re slowly realising that planning a year of travelling is not so easy”.

What follows is a series of boring and lengthy tasks, including travel insurance, spreadsheet checklists and visas.

However, regardless of the stress – the TikToker late says it was the “best decision yet” and that she’s headed to New Zealand next.

It comes as a couple have told of how they quit their 9-5 to live on a boat and saved thousands on rent.

Scott and Sandy Trevethan ditched their life on land in Australia and bought a £59,000 boat as their new home.

They now only work two days a week and say their decision has been life-changing.

In a similar tale Shannon Lane has shared how she ditched her drab London flat and moved onto a boat after her landlord wanted to up her monthly rent to over £1,000.

Elsewhere, a woman who spontaneously quit her job and sold everything she owns says she doesn’t know why she did it.

Angela Bagel took to her social media channel to explain to her followers that she “doesn’t have a home”.
