Beth Hackman funds Australia move by earning £3,000 on Vinted

Beth Hackman, a 25‑year‑old from Windsor, Berkshire, sold more than 600 clothes, shoes and accessories on the second‑hand app Vinted. The sales generated roughly £3,000, which she used to pay for a flight, visa fees and a month's rent in Sydney, Australia. In March she relocated and has begun work as a physiotherapist.

Hackman said she loved the work‑life balance in Australia but missed her family and, humorously, a typical UK Tesco meal deal. She described fast‑fashion over‑consumption in her own wardrobe and urged others to declutter, noting that many UK households may have thousands of pounds worth of unwanted items. She highlighted that clear listings and quick postage helped build positive buyer reviews and increase sales.
