Never happier Bringing her Peruvian passion to Mount Gambier Candi Mendoza Nunez came to Australia as a student. She had a taste for adventure and international travel had long been on her bucket list. She arrived on our shores eight years ago and never left. She met her husband when she was studying nutrition at UniSA in Adelaide and has since had two beautiful children. She still has family in Peru - her
mother and a couple of siblings but it is safe to say she is more than happy to call Australia home. “It was a very emotional day,” Candi said of her Australia Day citizenship ceremony. “I was just so happy about becoming an Australian. I miss my family but I love the life I have been able to create in Australia. It is not what I expected but I am so happy this is where I decided to come.”
