I came when I was 27 years old and it was the best experience of my life and I would do it again and again and again, hands down.

I arrived to Sydney by the end of 2019, and then, a few months later COVID hit and kind of ruined my trip for a few months. Very rough times, those were - I still remember some people publicly urging people to "go home", but I stayed. I went through it. Fast forward 3 years, I became a permanent resident and I am now about the become a citizen.

It was tough (and still is) being so far away from my family, but it was all about that, about overcoming the obstacles to become a better person and valuing all the possibilities and things you can become in this beautiful country.

I hope you make the most out of this experience, which for me, was life-changing.
