My name is Ricardo Gutierrez. I am a Bedssi's co-founder and CEO.
I arrived to Australia as a Postgraduate International Student (from Colombia, South America) in 1999.

It was very difficult to find a place to live when I arrived in Sydney (sadly nothing has changed since).
After several stressful weeks of intense research, visiting many unsavoury properties, going to the University support office and checking availability online, I finally found a room where I lived happily for the next two years.
I arrived with a limited budget which meant that I had to share a room for the first couple of years, work part-time during the semester and study almost every weekend.

Six months after my arrival, I started working at my university.
I started travelling around the world as part of my job, and in the process I was able to talk and help thousands of students fulfill their dream to study overseas.
It was during this time when I realised that there was a huge gap in the industry in Australia.
My international experience allowed me to provide a comprehensive outlook and to bring specific targeted solutions to the education and student support industry.
This is when Bedssi was born.

This is why at Bedssi we know and understand that finding a room to sleep in is one of the most important issues for students.
We also know that every student is different and that it is very hard to find rooms in a place you don't know.
This is why:

• we verify every user,
• we give you as much information and detail as possible about the room listings and
• we give you the opportunity to communicate with your future host.

In this way YOU are able to take an informed decision. Bedssi is all about transparency and open communication.

Feel free to contact us at any time here.
