Did you know that ...

... solar energy is the largest energy resource in the world, even larger than our fossil resources? Utilising wind means to cause the lowest environmental impact. Utilising energy efficiency potentials is the most effective way to save energy, the environment and become independent from other countries.

Traveling to Austria has also helped me to step out of my comfort zone. Immersing myself in a new environment has made my entire journey interesting. It helped to understand Cross-Cultural Awareness. It has also helped me in enhancing my international network, where I am finding out new cultures and perspectives.
