Meet the Team
Julie
Julie arrived in Australia (from France) in 2010 at the age of 20. After travelling around the country on her Working Holiday visa, she wanted to continue her studies in an English-speaking country to open her professional horizons. After investigating the high quality education offered in Australia, she decided to study here on a student visa. At that time there was not much information available to help her. It was then that the idea of opening her own agency came up. After a few years working in the education sector as a marketing manager for different schools, she opened Study Destination with the aim of helping French backpackers to stay and study in Australia. After 6 years the agency has grown to other nationalities and we are now helping more than 500 students per year to study and live in Australia.

A year ago, Lucas came to Australia with the intention of improving his English. Since then, he has learned, grown and discovered incredible possibilities. This journey has increased his desire to help others achieve what he has. When you contact Lucas, you will meet a person who truly cares about the well-being and progress of his customers. Lucas will not only be an advisor, but also your companion on your journey.

Carla
Carla was born in Spain and lived there most of her life, until one day she decided she needed a change: she crossed the Atlantic and today she lives in Argentina.
She graduated as a Real Estate Auctioneer and Broker, as well as dedicating herself to the world of graphic design... a bit of a strange fusion.
Today she is happy to be part of what will be one of the best experiences of your life. Your journey around the world begins today, a bit scary isn't it? 😱
Well yeah, but we all know that the best stories are never easy decisions to make, and this time is no different. 🥺
So all that's left is to say is... Let's close our eyes and trust the experts 🤭
