About GrowPro
Our mission
Inspire people to live a life-changing international experience by being the best travel mate.
Our vision
GrowProize the planet! We're working on being the most reliable platform for international students with the coolest community around the world.
Raise the bar
We're always thinking of how to get to the next level! Rules don't go much with GrowPro, but we have this one tattooed on us: Ask for forgiveness rather than permission. Proactivity, creativity, and constant learning are our main driving forces.
Grower-minded
Before making a decision, we think like a grower: we understand the desire for adventure and opportunities, as well as fears and insecurities. We act with transparency and honesty and we always try to put out good vibes.
Be part, be fun
Our dream is to create the coolest multicultural community in the world. To realize this, we have to start from within. At GrowPro, we work from different countries and we value the same things: adventure, craziness, passion, good vibes, and mutual support.
A Better World
We are adventurous souls with a clear mission: travel while respecting people and the world around us. We practice environmental care, gender equality, and cultural inclusion.
Our story
2012
This is how we started
Two Valencians, Goiko Llobet, and a few months later his friend Pablo Gil, decide to take the leap and start a journey 17,403km away from their homes. They set off to Melbourne, Australia, in search of starting the business of their lives.
2013
GrowPro is born
After some time in Australia, they saw that agencies that take students often disappear once they land. So they decided to create GrowPro Australia, with a clear differentiation: the destination experience. They knew the difficulties first hand, and with them no student would be alone.
2014
Paellas and parties
They started to be known in Melbourne for their paella events: GrowPro brought everyone together, making people meet, share experiences and have a good time. Word of mouth works its magic and recommendations start to be GrowPro's biggest driver.
2015
GrowPro Experience is here!
Pere Rúbies, former CEO of GrowPro, joins the team and becomes a key player in the digitalization and internationalization of the company. With his arrival GrowPro Experience is founded.

GrowPro from the inside...
"We believe in the values that come from traveling and living an experience, and in fighting for something that is not easy. I started this company with my best friend, Pablo Gil, in the living room of our house in Melbourne. We did all kinds of jobs to make ends meet while building GrowPro. Later, Pere Rúbies joined the adventure, and today we laugh when we see that from a small team, we have grown to 200 people working in 16 different countries and I think that this, in part, has been because of the honesty of our team. I think this, in part, has been due to the honesty with which we decided things. Nobody told us that it was going to be easy, but that tingle of the twilight of failure was the engine that kept us going without looking back."
