Imagine standing in a crowded education fair, surrounded by glossy brochures promising "world-class futures." You're hopeful, confused, and a little lost until one decision changes everything.
This is where Good on You, Mate! begins: with a leap of faith that takes Sandeep Sharma across oceans to New Zealand. What follows is a journey full of unexpected twists; change of destination, visa hurdles, chance encounters, and friendships that feel like family. From cricket matches under southern skies in New Zealand to conversations with mayors and professors, every chapter reveals not just how to survive as an international student, but how to thrive.
Told with warmth, humour, and honesty, this book captures what it really means to chase the dream of studying abroad. It's not just about universities and degrees, it's about identity, resilience, and building a life in a new land.
For anyone who has ever dreamt of leaving home for education or guided someone through that journey Good on You, Mate! is both a mirror and a map. It shows the challenges, celebrates the victories, and reminds us that the real education lies not only in the classroom, but in the life you create along the way.
And beyond the story, it also offers aspiring students a practical blueprint guiding them from clarifying their motivation, to selecting universities, navigating admissions, and even securing internships in New Zealand.
