This is so fun to fantasize about! Living and working in Australia–the episode of “House Hunters International” just writes itself. I really appreciate how the posting opens up with a Land Acknowledgement of the Indigenous people to the area.
@lauraw Yes – House Hunters International FTW. It’s a very different process to buy a house I have heard…bidding and such.
The Australian folks and New Zealanders have made the Land Acknowledgement of the Indigenous an ingrained event in everything. It is always so well done. When I was in New Zealand, they actually sang and Maori song to the conference.
