Every remarkable journey starts with a single step.
Though their passions, pathways and degrees are all different, Manaswi, Gabriel and Dayoung all have one thing in common... their desire to live and study abroad has landed them at Griffith University on Queensland’s iconic Gold Coast.
Here’s a glimpse into their journeys so far, filled with adventure, friendship and unforgettable memories.
Meet Manaswi
“Living in Australia has been such a good experience so far. The people are so welcoming, my teachers are supportive, and the community feels really warm. I never feel like I’m on my own.
This whole experience has changed me so much... I feel more confident, independent, and like I truly belong here. It’s helping me grow into a strong, independent person who genuinely loves the life I am building.”
Meet Dayoung
“I’ve met friends from all over the world and learned so much from them. Studying here has connected me to the community and changed my perspective in ways I never could have imagined and I’m grateful for every lesson.
Now, I’m ready to begin my nursing career and give back to the community that has supported me."
Meet Gabriel
“It’s incredible how fast time has passed, and now I’m close to graduating. Looking back, I wish I could relive the exact uncertainties I had before coming here because overcoming them is what made the journey so remarkable.
I’ve grown so much, and this truly has been the best experience I could ever have had. Now I’m certain I’m a better human being, ready to make a difference in the world.”
