Puravida Team Manly Wine Festival 2019
Our Story
The Puravida adventure began in Australia in 2007 when Brazilian born Chilean Luis travelled to Australia in search of the West Coast waves he had seen in surf magazines and videos for years. Since arriving he has spent over 15 years studying, working, travelling and surfing in both the West and East Coasts of Australia.
After gaining the first-hand experience of living and studying in Australia, Luis soon found himself offering advice to others who also wished to travel to Australia.
Before launching Puravida Study in 2016, he worked for more than 6 years in the International Student industry as an Education Consultant for 2 Agencies, and as a Business Development Manager for 2 colleges. He opened Puravida Study to provide transparent advice and personalised service to each prospective student according to their desires, plans and budget. With a deep knowledge of the industry Luis has grown the team to include members who are all passionate about living, studying and working in Australia.
Our Team
Since launching in 2016 the Puravida Study Team has expanded to include staff members from Australia, Brazil, Chile and Argentina who have all experienced the journey of travelling, studying and working abroad, and are keen to share their experience and help others forge their own adventure.
