Hi everyone!
My name is Thais and I’m from Belo Horizonte. When I was 23 years old, during my Law School, I had the chance of doing a study abroad program in London to improve my English skills. During that time, I have discovered new places and cultures, made friends from all around the world, which made living overseas one of the best experiences in my life!
Heading back to Brazil, I decided to target my career towards an international life and for quite some time, I have worked in a Law firm helping foreigners to settle in Brazil.
Having this goal in mind and sharing it with my husband, It was a delightful surprise when we discovered that Australia hosts one of the best courses in his field of work. Without thinking twice, we’ve packed our stuff and moved to Brisbane in the “Sunshine State”.
Once here in Australia, we’ve known it was the right choice. Beautiful city, nice (and hot) weather, sunny days, interesting culture, definitely a match!
Now, I’m glad to be a part of the WEST 1 team, where I can help people to accomplish their own goals here in Australia, as they helped me with mine!

My name is Guilherme, I was born in Maringa, Parana. When I was a child my father received a proposal to be transferred to Australia for work in International Trade.
I was only 10 years old when I moved to Australia and I used to live in Mackay up north of Australia.
My first weeks and months here was very hard as I didn’t understand any English and not knowing where I was. After the second month that I started learning English, I fall in love with the culture and the opportunity that my parents had offered me. I completed my high school here and I am graduated in Health and Safety.
At the age of 19 I moved to Brisbane and started to have contacts with international students, most of them Brazilian that came with WEST 1 and when I got to know all the support of WEST 1 for the students. After that, in a WEST 1 event, I was introduced to Aly and I identified myself to WEST 1 philosophy and shortly after I starting working here.

Hey guys!
I’m Daniel, and I’m 23 years old. I’ve always dreamed of making an exchange, meet new people, live new experiences and discover new places around the world. Because my aunt lives in the USA, I made a quick exchange of 3 months there during my school holidays when I was 15 years old. Since that, my desire to discover the world grown each time more. In 2017, when I was in the middle of my Marketing degree, an opportunity to go to Australia came up and, here I’m so far!
I started my journey here studying English. After improving from level 3 to EAP (English for Academic Purposes), I had the chance to transfer my Marketing degree to the university here. After that, in September 2020, I’m proud to say that I graduated from Torrens University Australia.
Since I arrived in the Kangaroo land, I’ve met so many incredible people worldwide, and I could see many different cultures and perspectives of the world. For sure, apart from learning English, it is one of the most important lessons I’ve learned so far.
On a more personal note, in my free time, I like to spend it with my friends and girlfriend having a bbq, playing soccer, travelling and reading books.
Professionally speaking, I’ve always worked in the marketing and sales field, which I’m passionate about. Also, because one of my hobbies is the stock market, I always try to see the projects in a big picture and make plans aiming the long-term success. Here in WEST 1, my goal is understanding the customer needs and provide the best-personalized service with a strong customer relationship.
After 3 years living here in Brisbane, I went through various situations, and today I feel ready to advise, plan and turn your exchange into a remarkable story!
