Young Aussie reveals how she avoids paying rent every week

• Young Aussie reveals the only way to plan a holiday 
• High school students urged to take gap year after graduating
• READ MORE:   Irish expat admits why she decided to leave Australia

A young Aussie bitten by the travel bug has revealed she wouldn't be planning a trip across the world if she wasn't living at home and battling cost of living  pressures.

It comes as recent research shows that more young Australians are staying in their parents' homes for longer amid the housing crisis.

Having been born and raised in Sydney , 25-year-old Alana Avallone only discovered her love for travel during a Contiki to Italy in June last year, and was already planning another.

However, Ms Avallone said she was only able to save up enough for the holiday because she is able to stay at home and be supported by her parents, and said many young Aussies should do the same if they can.

'I don't think I would be planning my next trip if I was living out of home and having to pay rent every week especially If I was living in the more expensive parts of Sydney,' she told Daily Mail Australia.

While living at home eases some burdens, she said that her finances are still tightened as a student.

'Living at home means I'm not spending money on rent, however I have other bills like my phone and car that add up but not as much as rent money,' Ms Avallone said.

She said that she wished she had gone travelling earlier.

'If I had done a gap year at 18 I would have probably developed my confidence and independence early on, rather than at the age of 25,' she said.

'I also could have probably really sat and thought more about what I really wanted to do and find my passions'.

She added that the current economic situation makes it harder for young Aussies to travel the world and get the life experience she gained on her trip with Contiki.

When she thinks about moving out of her parents' house, she quickly remembers how much money she is saving by staying there. 

How more young Aussies are staying at home

Recent research from the University of Melbourne's Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey revealed  54 per cent of young men and 47 per cent of young women aged 18 to 29 years old were still living under the same roof as their parents. 

According to the researchers, there were a number of factors preventing young Australians from gaining their first foothold on the property ladder.

Professor Roger Wilkins, Deputy Director, HILDA Survey, at the University of Melbourne,  said many young Aussies were taking longer to find their feet in the workforce, incomes were falling and cost-of-living was going up.

'We've seen a rise in higher education participation, declining full-time employment opportunities for young people, a rising cost in housing, and a trend towards later marriage and family formation'.

'The traditional markers of adulthood are happening later in life now.' 

Lyn Craig, Professor of Sociology and Social Policy at the University of Melbourne, highlighted a very serious implication for young people who lived at home for longer.

'While we are living longer so we have time to stretch out and slow events and transitions during our life course – one thing we can't really slow is fertility.

'So, there may be implications for young people being able to embark on the great adventure of parenthood,' Professor Craig said.

'Since the mid-20-teens, fertility has fallen below replacement in Australia for the first time and I think that has something to do with the price of housing and young people not being able to afford to establish an independent household away from parents.'

Professor Wilkins said successive governments were to blame for many young Aussies staying at home due to the housing crisis.

'Policy action to make housing more affordable and to increase housing supply is a clear way to tackle that,' said Professor Wilkins.

'On the positive side, as a richer society with longer life expectancy, perhaps some young people are making a rational and conscious choice to delay getting into the hard yakka of life.

'They decide to enjoy themselves and have some fun while they are still young.

'As a whole, baby boomer parents are also a relatively wealthy cohort, so their capacity and preparedness to house their kids into adulthood has increased. Perhaps it's not the imposition it once was on parents who were more constrained economically.'

Young Aussies being held back from travel due to cost of living pressures  

Meanwhile, recent research from international tour company Contiki revealed young Aussies were putting off international travel due to cost of living pressures. 

While 42 per cent enjoy university, they worried about never being able to repay their loans. 

Additionally, 47 per cent of students found university expensive and need to work part-time jobs to afford their expenses. 

Even with full-time employment, 48 per cent of young adults are always anticipating their next payday, and 62 per cent express a strong desire to save more for travel. 

Only 39 per cent prefer to spend their money on traveling rather than saving for emergencies. 

The research from Contiki also revealed students were not enrolling into tertiary courses out of a passion for the subject.

Instead, a majority of students didn't want to disappoint their families or were worried they would miss out on high-paying jobs.

'Young Aussies feel they are expected to pursue a degree or course, many are feeling the pinch of the cost of living and, understandably, feel a little guilty about booking a holiday,' explained Contiki's Managing Director, Toni Ambler.

The tour company recently launched a program, called Contiki University, to help university students take a break in tourist hotspots, and still learn about what they were passionate about

The trips include brushing up on Greek History while island hopping through the Aegean Sea or learning about temple architecture across Southeast Asia.

CONAKRY, Guinea (AP) — Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov arrived Monday in Guinea on his latest visit to West Africa, where coups and growing discontent with traditional allies like France and the United States have contributed to some countries’ shift toward Moscow.

Lavrov has visited the African continent several times in the past couple of years as Russia seeks support — or at least neutrality — from many of its 54 countries amid Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Lavrov met with Guinea’s foreign minister Morissanda Kouyaté, according to Russia’s foreign ministry. Guinea’s government in a statement said the meeting was to discuss areas of mutual cooperation, without elaborating.

Lavrov was expected to arrive in the Republic of Congo late on Monday evening, where he was due to meet President Denis Sassou N’Guesso in the city of Oyo, according to an official communique from Brazzaville. It wasn’t clear which other countries were on his itinerary later this week.

Guinea has been ruled by a military junta since 2021. Col. Mamadi Doumbouya seized power saying he was preventing Guinea from slipping into chaos and accusing the previous government of broken promises. In February, military leaders dissolved the government without explanation, saying a new one will be appointed.

Doumbouya has rebuffed attempts by the West and other developed countries to intervene in Africa’s political challenges, saying Africans are “exhausted by the categorizations with which everyone wants to box us in.”

Several West African nations including Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso have had coups that installed military juntas. They have severed or scaled back long-standing military ties with Western powers in favor of security support from Russia.

Lavrov visited Mali early last year and pledged military support. Also last year, he visited South Africa — seen as the most significant of several African nations to take a neutral stance on the war in Ukraine — and returned there to attend a meeting of BRICS bloc nations. He also visited Kenya in an outreach in East Africa.

Lavrov late last year toured North Africa , where Russia also seeks to strengthen ties in the vacuum created by the diminishing popularity of Western powers.

In West Africa, the military junta governing Burkina Faso ousted French forces last year and turned to Russia for security support. And in Niger , Russian military trainers arrived weeks after the junta that took power last year ordered U.S. troops to withdraw from the country.

Associated Press writer Louis Patrick Okamba in Brazzaville, Republic of Congo, contributed to this report.
