CURRENT MISSION To cherish this planet and take good care of her. More specifically by enabling the energy and mobility transition. ABOUT ME I'm Irene, a Dutch girl from Amsterdam, studied Civil engineering and work as a sustainable mobility consultant. In my free time, I love doing sports (cycling, volleyball, tennis) and spending time in nature. During my winters and summers, I spend my vacations doing Alpine sports: hiking, ski touring and staying in mountain huts. Lately, I have been learning a lot about plants and birds, yoga and meditation. But most of all, I love meeting interesting and open people to share stories with and to learn from. I have been based in The Netherlands for a while now and mostly spending my holidays in Europe, but previously I have worked and studied in Great Britain, Switzerland, Canada and Myanmar. Further, I backpacked in Cuba, Peru and Southeast Asia. I have loved submerging myself in these cultures and getting to know fellow travellers and locals. And lastly, I love cool innovative projects. In 2016, I spent a year on a student project to design, build and race with a hydrofoil boat powered by solar energy. Because of the hydrofoils, it can reach a top speed of 55 km/h on the energy of just 2 water boilers (still to this day the world speed record). PHILOSOPHY Don't judge people if you don't like being judged Some curiosity can bring you a long way Take your space and allow people theirs Take care of the planet as you would like the planet to take care of you Kindness is the greatest weapon
