i cant blame him. coming of age in trumps america would put anyone with empathy off. hes applying for visas now and i suspect his australian native girlfriend will soon be 'fiance'.

any tips? warnings? my only concern is the real possibility of never seeing him again.

He should be fine, his Australian girlfriend should help him out with the normal stuff here.

One thing that might be useful, when visiting the US many Americans would express concern about Australian spiders. I explained that it wasn't really much of an issue, you just make sure to check for spiders before putting your hands in places, putting on shoes, etc.

The shoes thing seemed particularly outrageous to them. It's pretty simple though, you just look at your shoes before putting them on. Any spiders in there? Any sign of webs? Don't put them on. Easy!

Which is why Aussies wear thongs when ever we can.
