GENESIS – Italian Counsellor

My name is Genesis, and I work as a student advisor in Perth.

Hi, I’m Genesis! I was born in Italy and grew up in Ecuador.

In 2022, I moved to Australia on a Student Visa to study and live in Sydney and the Central Coast.

Since childhood, I have dreamed of living and exploring Australia, and I’m so grateful to be making it a reality!

WHAT ARE YOUR 3 SUPERPOWERS?

I can connect with people very quickly, I am very empathetic, and I love listening and making people feel understood.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE CITY?

Perth! When I first moved to Australia, I lived on the Central Coast—a beautiful area not far from Sydney with so much to explore. I loved it there, but after a while, I found myself craving a change.

Last year, I visited Perth and instantly fell in love. It was exactly what I was looking for—and so much more! Perth offers the perfect balance between city life and beach life. It’s smaller than Sydney but has so much personality and charm.

TELL US ABOUT AN AUSSIE EXPERIENCE

When I first arrived in Australia, I worked in retail. Every time I helped a customer, at the end of the payment process, they would say, “Ta.”

I found it really funny because, to pay, you have to “tap” your card or phone. So, I thought they were referring to the action of tapping/paying and couldn’t understand why they kept saying it out loud!

One day, my coworker explained that “Ta” actually means “thank you,” and I was completely shocked—and a little embarrassed!
