Bruno Da Costa from Brasil - Tourism and Hospitality
"I'm really enjoying it here because I'm studying in a small group so it's easier to learn. TAFE is really good because I have great teachers who are always helping me with my work. I like my classmates and I love to spend every day in the kitchen. I'm looking forward to being a good chef and maybe later even a hotel manager".
