ABOUT ME
Currently a coastal engineering/port development Master's student in Delft. I am looking to explore the surrounding Netherlands and other countries (if time allows).
Generally, I think I am probably too ambition about everything so most of what I do or try to do is a little crazy. I am always looking for new/different/exciting/learning adventures to embark on. I like to be on the move, learning and growing as I go. Love to discover and submerge myself into my surroundings as much as humanly possible. I sort of see myself as this crazy lady who strives to be an environmental/engineer/urban designer/coastal enthusiast who has time to explore the realms of our creative beings.
PHILOSOPHY
be too ambitious.
make things happen.
regret doing rather than not having done.
love all beings (om mani padme hum)!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
True desert experience in the Sam Dune,Rajasthan, India. In short, I was travelling with some locals and we lost the car keys then had to hustle with the locals to set up a camp for us for the night while a friend's brother ensured some random bus driver would bring the spare key up from their hometown - four towns aways. At first a nightmare but ended up being an epic night under the stars in the middle of the desert.
