life was going to surprise him in this way

In addition, it gives you great opportunities for growth,

His beginnings in Argentina
The protagonist of this story was born in the town of Llavallol -
southern area of Greater Buenos Aires
- where
he made his most precious memories
.
Since he was little, he was nicknamed “Pico”, since his brother did not know how to pronounce his name correctly.
She remembers her childhood with great affection, where she had the opportunity to practice many sports, according to her words.
Francisco
always considered the possibility of traveling the world
and exploring new destinations.
However, he never imagined living permanently in a country other than his own.
Although,
a few years later that changed

At only 17 years old
, he had an entrepreneurial spirit that allowed him to create a business and generate his own income.
Thus, in
2014, he founded a small business
with his brother:
an orthopedics
located in the southern area.
In
2017
, he began his Bachelor's degree in Business Administration at the
National University of Lomas
.
Some time later, she moved to the
Universidad Argentina de la Empresa
, better known as “UADE”.

reason why Francisco left
Argentina

As a result of this, in
2022
, he gave his mother his share of the family premises and stopped his university studies.
However, he plans to resume his career in the future.
After a few days,
he researched some destinations for an overseas experience
and found himself captivated by one country in particular:
Australia
.
-
Why did you choose Australia as your ideal destination?
-Mainly, because
they have the highest minimum wage in the world
.
Also, I didn't want to go to a place where Spanish is spoken and in Australia they communicate in English.
In short, it is a country where
there is a lot of security, a key point for me
.
Therefore,
on February 28, 2023
, he found himself at the Ezeiza International Airport, tightly holding his suitcases, which
held the memories of an entire life
.
And in the blink of an eye, she embarked on a new adventure.
A life in Australia
The Argentine
arrived in Sydney
through a
Working Holiday Visa
, which has a duration of three years.
Some of the requirements to emigrate to this place were:
having an Argentine passport, having knowledge of English, having tertiary studies and demonstrating bank funds of at least 4 thousand US dollars

Thanks to the wide job offer,
five days later, Francisco found a job
after distributing his Curriculum Vitae through the streets of the city.
“In this time,
I have made 1,500 dollars a week or even more.
It depends on the job and the hours you work, but it is enough for everything and you can save money,” explains the Argentine.
“Without a doubt,
what I like most about Australia is its quality of life
, I have never experienced anything like it.
The people are very civilized and friendly,
you can earn a lot of money and go out in peace
, it is wonderful.
Definitely,
I would choose it a thousand times more
,” adds the entrepreneur.
Since arriving in the metropolis, he chose to share his daily routine on social networks, where
he became very popular
.
On his Tik Tok account “@pico.lacalma”, he has more than 54 thousand followers, 2.9 million
“Likes”
and thousands of
comments from users around the world
.
Thanks to this country of opportunities, the Argentine had the opportunity to generate money and invest it in order to set up a business, according to his words.
Therefore, currently, Francisco is creating - together with his brother -
an application to help Latin Americans emigrate
more easily.
