When an Indian woman living in Australia shared a video calling her move a “trap,” it immediately caught people’s attention. At first, it sounded like a warning many Indians think about before moving abroad. But as she explained further, it became clear that the word was not meant negatively.
She spoke about how life slowly settles into a calm routine. Days feel more organised, and work does not take over everything. Over time, this change affects how people think about effort, ambition, and what they want from life.
What Life There Feels Like
According to her, work life balance plays a huge role. Office hours are respected, and personal time stays personal. Evenings are quiet, weekends feel like actual breaks, and there is less pressure to always be busy.
She also mentioned safety as something that quietly becomes part of everyday life. Stepping out alone does not feel stressful. Clean air, well maintained public spaces, and an overall sense of order add to the comfort. Life follows a steady rhythm that people slowly grow used to.
Why People Are Talking About It
Towards the end of the video, she called Australia a “10 out of 10 trap.” She explained that it feels like a trap because once people experience this balance and peace, leaving it behind becomes difficult. Returning to a chaotic lifestyle starts to feel uncomfortable.
Her video quickly went viral and drew mixed reactions. Some viewers strongly related to her experience, while others questioned whether this kind of life suits everyone. Still, her words struck a chord. For many, the story was less about moving countries and more about realising how deeply a peaceful life can change expectations.
