Australia

A quaint continent with a growing population and opportunities, it has been the most preferred education hub, particularly for South Asians, since long. It’s a land that embodies multiculturalism and unmatched beauty. The pristine blue skies with cotton candy clouds right above the golden sand beaches are an enthralling sight, full of positive youthful vibes and the essential Vitamin D.

This country is as massive as the bundle of opportunities it offers, particularly with an economy that resonates with westernization and globalization, further amounting to a per capita GDP, slightly higher than those of France, UK and Germany in terms of Real Income.
