Maria Tate
Hey YouTube, I’m Maria.
I moved to a tiny town in regional Western Australia with my young family in January 2025 — and somewhere between the visa chaos, the culture shock, and the reinvention, I realised something:
I’m allowed to create a life that feels like me, no matter the postcode.
This channel started with our immigration journey, but now it’s about what actually lights me up:
🎃 Home décor, seasonal magic and wildly unnecessary Halloween enthusiasm
🛍️ Style, op shop hauls, and the creative finds that keep life interesting
🏠 Thrifty makeovers, DIYs and small-town reinvention
✨ Turning limitation into inspiration — especially when life feels a bit too beige
I’m building a life I love in a place I never planned to land… and showing that you can bring your traditions, your style, and your joy with you, wherever you go.
If you’re into cosy storytelling, aesthetic chaos, small-town glamour and finding beauty in the unexpected — welcome. This is my dream life in progress.
